“Hands in Air And knees on the floor NOW”
I wasn't expecting them to come so quickly, and I was pissed about the front door, but I was soo relieved I instantly forgot to be mad.
“I don't know where my assistant Angela Woods is” I came, and she has been here, but he was inside, and she was gone!” I felt the tears before I realized I was crying; the stress was killing me I needed them to tell me where she was! “Please find her!”
“We found her ma’am she called before we received your text; we were already on the way”
I cried even harder afraid to say what I was thinking makeup running onto my silk pink shirt I was helped to my feet by a female officer but I asked the man I had been speaking to he seemed to be in charge and they were all in riot gear I was intimidated.
“Is she ok? I Is Is she alive? Where is she?” the words burned but they were like vomit they just kept coming I braced myself for the worse my stomach sunk to my shoes like a lead ball.
“She’s pretty banged up, but she is ok” he said trying to be honest and reassuring I appreciated that. It was working, I did feel reassured my breathing started to regulate and my brain was a little less foggy.
“THEN CARRY ME TOO HER! I NEED TO SEE HER f*****g FACE RIGHT NOW!” I felt my legs moving towards the door in slow motion “LORENA REEEEEY ARE YOU OK? LORENA, PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!”
I started running skipping steps to get to her she was on a stretcher eyes bucked screaming looking wild in the eyes she was terrified and I could see it in the wrinkles in her forehead’ “I'm fine I'm fine I'm here” I grabbed her hand and kissed her face before they pulled us apart.
“She is hurt ma’am you can't grab her if you want you can ride with us to the hospital a plain clothes officer said to me. I hadn't noticed her she was trying to calm Angela down when I ran up, they needed our statements. I agreed to ride with them.
“Your desk drawer Rey your medicine Angela shouted with her eyes but said softly.
“Let me lock up and then ill ride with you” I rushed inside to get my keys and check my desk. When I grabbed my keys, I saw Sincere lock eyes with me
“This wasn't me DR Jones I have a new alter he can mimic me, but I swear it wasn't me and I don't know what he's planning please believe me! He tried to hide any trace of Angie I turned her mug so you would see the fresh lipstick I knew you would know something was wrong, and I took the gun!” The officers shouted, “HES GOT THE GUN!!” and everyone immediately drew down
“WAIT WAIT HES TELLING THE TRUTH!” I yelled and laid across his back palms up “Where is the gun Sincere?”
“Oh, baby we don't do no guns” Mary said slowly she had taken over she was trying to protect Sincere I could tell they were all scared of the swat team, but he was more scared of the new alter.
“who's the new alter Mary?” I asked hoping to get more information.
“Him Uneeek him a meean man him no like us him no like me” Bae’Boy whined, and I knew it was the only thing I would get from them, so I got up and backed away as the officers reholstered their guns.
“Weapon retrieved.” one officer said as she opened the closet
I ran to my desk took the bag from target out threw it in my Birkin and watch them file out. Sincere was in zip ties They were taking him in for questioning I called him an attorney and emailed his parents where he was going and nothing else Locked up the office and hopped in the car with the Detective. The ambulance was already gone so we hightailed it to the hospital.
When we arrived, she had taken and recorded my full statement in the car, and I rushed inside to be by Angelas side. I still didn't know what had happened to her and I dint know what the extent of her injuries were. I walked in on the dr showing her x rays her knee was shattered her ACL was torn her foot was broken clean off I could tell that by the way her gold pump just dangled like it was only hanging on by the skin. Her nose was broken and her spleen was ruptured she would need surgery a lot of surgery and physical therapy she had almost suffocated in his trunk her eyes were blood shot from the ruptured blood vessels the swat team had come in the nick of time and all I could do was thank god she had survived I was allowed to stay with her while she gave her statement the detective gave ma her card and left I was in shock I just nodded in horror listening to her trauma.
“Now that she's gone what the hell happened? “Angela asked accusatorily. I told her everything from that morning. She looked at me like she was irritated. I was confused I knew she knew it wasn't my fault why was she upset with me then?
“Do you blame me?” I asked feeling guilty working for me had nearly cost her her life.
“Girl NO!” I was relieved thank god I couldn't bear the thought of it being bad blood between us right now we both didn't have any family here and she was going to need me during her recovery
“Then why are you acting irritated are you in pain? Are you uncomfortable?”
“Naw b***h,” she giggled “who you been f*****g raw” she spiked her brow and c****d her head to the side.
“The plan B! I put it in my purse” I yelled
“You haven't took it yet?! WTF Rey!” She said disappointed “take it now!” she rushed but I sat back in my seat today was getting longer and longer
“I left my purse, cell and keys in the detective's car” I said defeated I finally let the tears fall I could handle the circumstances I felt like I was drowning.
