Curves 2

Chapter 18

Monique

I was shaking the entire plane ride. Brooke didn't go into details but she was really shaken up. I have no idea what's going and hadn't even thought too much about Jamel since he was hospitalized. There's so much going on in my life I'm not so sure I can handle anything else.

Zy was holding my hand and trying to comfort me. But I knew he was burning in rage and even fear. We just officially moved in together. Jamel not only invaded my privacy but Zy and Cadie as well. If he knows where I live then my house isn't safe for us anymore.

I was even able to put all the bullshit with him behind me. I hadn't even once worried over him since that day. I figured it was over with. That period of my life ended with him jailed and hospitalized. How did he get out? And why now? Demetrius, Bryson and AJ came back with me. I tried convincing them not to come but they weren't having it. We've gotten really close in just a matter of days so when they heard the drama going on at home they wasted no time to accompany me back. I didn't want to drag them in my mess but they were insistent on being there with me to figure out what's going on. This time we took them up on their offer of the family plane to get here faster and not deal with airport craziness. 

And the worst thing? We had to leave Cadie. Essence and the girls promised to watch her and with her new bff she wasn't too upset about us leaving so suddenly. If this thing is as serious as we expect it's better for her to be far away from the drama. It took much convincing but we did what we thought was best. We took a cab from the airport all the way to our home which was crawling with police, nosy neighbors, and my friends and family were there too. Once the cab stopped we quickly got out and rushed to the scene. 

"Ma'am," an officer said. "I'm going to need for you to get back."

"Excuse me but this is my house!" I snapped. He quickly let me, Zy, and my cousins through. Brooke was talking to police officers and she looked distraught. "Brooke!" She looked up at me and ran to me with tears on her face. 

"I'm sorry Mo!" She cried. "I didn't know I swear I didn't know!" I hugged her soothingly to calm her down. 

"Ma'am are you the owner of this house?" Another officer came up. He might be a detective because he wasn't in regular uniform like the other officers. 

"Yes. Can someone explain to me what happened?" I said in a panic.

"Well, it seems a gentleman was seen exiting your house by a witness. Your neighbor, a Betty Halls (nosy old lady), said she witnessed him leaving out the back and noting he wasn't someone she recognized and decided to confront him. She noticed the shattered window and then assaulted by the guy who did it." I gasped. Poor Miss Betty! "We've already taken her to the hospital for examination and besides a major headache she seems to be doing fine."

"Was anything taken?"

He looked a bit uncomfortable. "Nothing was taken but..."

"But what?" Zy asked. "What did the fucker do?"

"It seems he merely meant to mess up the house. He...released himself all over the place."

"Released?" I said in confusion.

"We found lots of sperm specimen all over the house and it smells strongly of urination."

"I think I'm going to be sick," I said feeling a bit light headed. 

"There's a lot of DNA evidence so indicting the person responsible is easy. We've got a description of the perpetrator. We understand you two have some form of history and we'd like to get your confirmation." He showed me the picture of Jamel.
