Close Enemy

Chapter 33

I got out of the bathroom wearing my bathrobe, I paced to my wardrobe to get my clothes for today, then brought out a black Tie front shirt, blue denim jeans, a pair of ballerina flats and a black pouch.

I placed them on my winged chair at the right corner of my room, then slowly walked to my vanity and took my sit, and started applying my make up.

I packed my hair in a ponytail style, In a snap I put on my clothes and fled downstairs.

When I arrived downstairs my mom was in kitchen making some breakfast for us.

I paced into the kitchen, then took a sit at the dining table, crossed both my legs as i picked up a red apple from the fruit basket, I took a quick bite from the apple as i waited for my mom to get done with the food.

She holds a tray with two plates of omelette with a fork beside them, a bowl of green salad and a jog filled with pineapple juice with two tumblers beside it, she place's the tray on the table and takes her sit as she begins to dig in.

"Dear where are you going to, you should stay at home and get better"

"No mom I need to go out, I just want to... you know come out"

"allie why are you lying, I know you want to go to the police station" she said dropping her fork back on her plate.

"mom no way, I need a break for myself"

"okay, If you say so" she said as she continues with her food.

I had just arrived at the police station, I paid the taxi man as I got out of the car. I walked straight into the station with my purse held tight to my hands.

When I got in the place was so crowded with every police officer I sighted busy with one thing or the other. I decided to go straight to the detective office without confirming if he was in or ready for any visitors.

I arrived at the doorstep of the office, I made a soft gentle knock to the door with hopes that he was in.

"come in! " I heard from inside the office.

I opened the door and walked into the office, he looked really surprised when I walked in.

"Good morning, madam, long time"

"yeah I know"

"so where have you been" he said as his smiling face turned paled with a frown shown all over his face

"well it's been a ethic period for me, you won't believe it"

"okay tell me" he said as he strokes his chin.

"I was adopted that day, the last time we saw each other"

"by who?? " he said with a shock on his face

"my supposed to be husband, Chuck Butler"

"did he do that because you stood him up"

"yes, and also according to him, him and my mom had a deal"

"what deal! "

"well according to him my mom promised that she'll get the both of us married if only he rewards her with a sum of $500000, so according to him he paid off $250000 to her"

"Waow this is amazing" He chuckles

"And did you confront your mom about this"

"yes, she was like he was the one who brought up the offer, and she said that before she could reject the offer he had already sent half the money to her. He said another thing that got me off the edge "

"And what's that"

"He said that my mom had asked him to help her get rid of Joel, but he told her no, then after his rejection she then gave the job to Brenda "

"hold on, did he give you any good reason why Brenda would have agreed to do it"

"he told me that Brenda was short of cash, and my mom had offered her $20000, which she had borrowed from him, and he also said that Brenda always had a thing for Joel, so if she couldn't have him then no one would"

"did you confront your mom about this"

"yes, but she denied it, she said that she suspects his the killer, and his trying to pin it on her"

"hmm....,  Waow, so from all this who do you believe?" detective robles asked looking stunned.

"my mom, after he shut me and left me to die near that lake I know his capable of killing anyone"

"so he shut you!!. You know he has to be behind bars, one for kidnapping you and the other shutting you"

"I know, that's one of the reasons why I'm here"

"okay, you have to file a case right away"

"I will, but I need you to investigate him concerning Joel's death"

"we will, you just have to give us his house address we'll pay him a visit"

"okay sure "

I get up from the seat making my way out of the office
