The officers begin to talk about the case as they walked through the house. “The ex girlfriend said he wrote a suicide letter and got a little girl to give it to her” said Officer Wheat
“Does she have the letter with her” asked Officer Benton
“It’s at her office, but she refuses to give it to us. So we have to get a search warrant to get it from her”
“We really don’t need it. He killed himself. We have the weapon and it’s the gun. By the way his head was blown off.
“Plus it was only one bullet” added Officer Wheat
“But we can still run the search warrant by chief” said Officer Benton
“Well I guess we have to call his parents so they can come identify his body. I hate this part” said Officer Wheat while taking a deep breath as he walked off. The officers went back to the scene and finish getting all the evidence they need to go back to the station. As the officers wrapped up the investigation an officer notice a woman in the car in front of the house crying. The officer knocked and Lisa jumped as the sound startled her. She rolled the window down as she held her chest.
“Yes may I help you” Lisa said with an attitude
“Ma’am can I call someone for you. I know this is a tough time and you can’t get over it by yourself” said a lady police officer
“I’m ok, have they called his parents yet?”
“I think they have already ma’am”
“Well ok, thanks” starting up her car and begin driving off toward her house.The drive was silent, painful and full of tears. She reached the garage and parked her car.
“5,2,7,1,1,3,2”
“What’s up gurl” answered a woman’s voice
“Erica..he…………ohhh………..I can’t” Lisa bursting into tears
“Lisa baby what’s wrong, are you ok? Please talk to me sweetie” yelled Erica
“Erica, he killed himself over me”
“Who? Lisa? Lisa who honey?”
“Aaron, OH MY GOD! Aaron why”
“Lisa what do you mean, where are you now?”
“I’m at home Erica”
“I’m on my way” Erica said as she hung up her end. Lisa made her way into her home, but once she stepped in everything reminded her of him, she couldn’t stop thinking of him. She fell to her knees in tears.
“Why LORD why………………………………..why did he do it. LORD why AARROON whyyyyyyyyyyy”
“Knock knock, Lisa open up. Knock, knock, ding, dong” Erica was at the door banging and screaming for her friend to let her in.
“My key” Erica said as she reached for her set of keys to Lisa’s house. As she's unlocking the door Erica saw her friend on the floor on her knees screaming to the sky. As she questioned the man above.
“Lisa baby it’s ok” Erica said as she ran and grabbed her friend in her arms
“He’s gone Erica all because of me. He killed his self over me” Lisa cried out
“Lisa it’s not your fault so don’t blame yourself you didn’t know he would kill himself. He cheated on you and he felt guilty for it”
“But if only I would have just took him back he’d still be alive right now”
“Lisa please calm down and stop crying you’re gonna make yourself sick” Lisa started controlling herself and her tears stop slowly. She sat in her bed with Erica and told her everything from Aaron showing up at her job and pinning her to the wall up until her finding him dead in his house. After telling Erica everything Lisa calmed down and took a nap. While she slept she had missed a couple of phone calls.
"Hello sleepy head how you feeling”
“I’m making it I guess” a sleepy Lisa said
“A Markat Johnson called about meeting you tomorrow”
“Thanks sweetie”
“So you going to work tomorrow”
“Yeah I can’t miss work, I have things to do still”
“Lisa you just saw your ex dead you need sometime off honey”
“That maybe true, but I have to work Erica. It might get hard, but I have a business to run”
“Whatever! if you say so, I’m about to go you need anything”
“I’m fine enjoy your night. I’ll be fine got some work to do anyways”
“Call me if you need me, bye”
“I’ll think about it” smiled Lisa as she walked Erica to the door and begin to return her calls she missed. She called Mr. Johnson he didn’t answer so she left a message.She starts looking through her paper and trying to keep her mind off of what happened earlier was beginning to be very hard. So she got up and ran her a hot bath. She lite some candles and got in. “This is what I needed a hot bath to take the stress away” she said out loud as if someone was there with her. She relaxed and closed her eyes. Going into a very deep thought. The touch of someone’s hand brought her back to reality. “Hello anyone here” Lisa said in a scared voice. There was no one there with her and she had just felt a touch on her shoulder. She was out of the tub, in her robe and looking around her house. Maybe it was just her imagining things. She'd had a very long and crazy day. Returning to her room she notices her phone was lighting up. She had two missed calls. Without looking at the number she calls it back.
“Hello” answered Erica
“What’s up”
“Why you sounded like something wrongs with you”
“I was in the tub and I felt someone touch me, but no one’s here”
“Are you ok”
“I don’t know maybe I’m just imagining things I don’t know. I think I’ll losing my mind. Maybe I do need to stay at home, but being at home isn’t working either so I’m confused”
“If you’re away maybe it will help, I guess it want hurt to try it hun”
“I don’t know Erica. I’m to spooked out for anymore surprises you know what I mean”
“I know hun just get some sleep in the morning see how you feel and go from there. How does that said sweetie”
“Like a plan to me, night sweetie”
“Good night Lisa talk to later get some sleep bye”
“Bye” Lisa said as she looked around her room sitting on her bed. Then she called the next number she had missed. Realizing it was after two in the morning she hung the phone. Calling a client that late was not in her book, that wasn’t professional at all for her. So she laid down hoping to get some kind of sleep.
Looking at his phone Kat sees Lisa’s number appear on the screen, but before he could answer it she had hung up and it only rung twice. He had just made it to his spot and was walking in the door. He called as soon as he stepped his foot on carpet.
“Hello”
“May I speak to Lisa”
“This is her”
“This is Markat did you just call me”
“I did but I didn’t know it was this late sorry”
“It’s ok. I’m still up myself”
“Ok, well what time will we be meeting tomorrow sir”
“Can we meet at four that gives you time with your client at two”
“That sounds great. I’ll see at four Mr. Johnson”
“I’ll let that slide since it’s late” joked Markat
“What? Did I say something wrong” asked a puzzled Lisa
“You called me Mr. Johnson that’s all”
“Ah! Ok, then Markat see you later on today” laughed Lisa
“Ok Lisa” Kat saying. Wishing he didn’t have to hang up
“Bye” Lisa said as she hangs up still smiling. He was the only person who had made her smile or laugh all day that meant something to her. Maybe she’d be okay at work tomorrow. What she didn't know was talking to her also made his day. Now he could go to sleep and know he’ll see her tomorrow. He was doing to have a good dream tonight and actually see the real thing tomorrow.
