Oh No

chapter16

He knew he was in trouble as soon as he interested through the front door. HE had seen the living room lamp fully lit, and he knew that adaline was going to be livid.

" damn" he thought to himself, I can't believe that i got caught on the first night.", he mused. can't even sneak out of his own house, he chuckled.

"Where in the hell have u been", her heard Adaline's voice, filled with genuine stress. Ive been up all night worried sick about u. "She added.

"I'm a big boy and I can take care of myself. " he retorted.

"Then why did I catch u in the closet mister take care of himself.

He immediately turned a bright red, flush with his embarrassment.

"the way I see it" he begin to say" if I don't tell u what I've been up to then u have plausible deniability. The last thing he wanted was to get her caught up in all this mess.

"And I bet u thought that answer was gonna actually work didn't you?" she

told him. "Why don u back that up and tell me again what u were doing tonight." she demanded.

"What do u want me to say,? THat I'm planning a murder of the man that killed my family. "His words came with a harsh tone." you want to hear all the boring recon too?"

"So ur really going to do this aren't u. are u sure that u won't let me talk u out of it. and do u really think u can pull it off. I mean ur going up against some really bad people. dangerous people. Mr take care of himself has reached a whole new level huh?. this last part was delivered as if mocking his male eas with her chest puffed up for emphasis, mockingly.

"Oh look who gots jokes.", he said. 'I guess ur right." she felt bad for him as soon as she saw his shoulders sag, and she felt even worse when he almost looked defeated.

but then a new light shown through his eyes, that blazed with a deep fury. one filled with hatred and despair, Interlaten with loneliness mixed with defeat.

"look, we both know the cops are not even getting close to the man who did this . u watched the news. u see what's been going on.

she only nodded her head in agreement. she couldn't argue that point.

The cops actually detained the perp,and she knew it was him the moment they flashed his ugly mug across the screen..he had blurted out, forcefully and loudly thats the man who killed my family.

"as much as I know that I probably shouldn't do this, I really don't have a choice.That basted took my family. "MY FAMILY! he screamed.

with those words she felt the brute power of defeat. she knew that no matter what she may say, or what she may try, he had already made his decision. There wasn't a damn thing anybody could do about it.

the look upon her face quickly told him she was defeated. with her eyes downcast to the floor,she decided to say no more.

As his eyes followed hers, he knew he had won his argument.

slowly she got up and went over to him. her misted eyes showed her care for him. she took him into her embrace and whispered "I love you" to him "please come back home to me ok.
