chapter 53

My day felt ruined, so I picked up my cell and made a call to the one whom I knew would be able to quell the issue with the police. After all, it was her mess that brought Chase to my door on a weekend.

Hello, I heard her voice, I could tell she was in a public space as the sound of trains and other vehicles passing interrupted our call.

Where are you? I asked and she said plainly, "What do you want to talk about, get on with it, I am very busy at this time."

The police are after the container which got stolen months ago. I was wondering if you know about this?

I don't know about it , but give me some time and I will fix it. Who is the officer that came over to your place?

Brad chased him.

She fell silent for a while before she spoke again ,, don't worry i will get to the bottom of this issue.
How did they find out about an issue that has already passed?

Let's talk later, I am busy right now, she said as she cut the call.

For some reason, she never likes talking on the phone , this means i would have to stop by her apartment, thinking about what would happen when we meet. She has left a throb in my trousers.


I walked back and sat in the seat, the game was already over and Freddy had changed the channel, i just sat down and the thought of the dales being my real parents crawled back into my head.

Thinking of how that would change my life, our lives.

Freddy called him and he followed me as I walked towards the roof. We stood out there in the evening air when I asked him where he got the papers from.

I heard about it and got suspicious, so I decided to confirm for myself, i took a piece of hair from both sides and went to the hospital for proof, i only brought it out because I thought you deserve to know the truth.

Because of this truth, your life will be in danger, and it would be evil of me not to tell you. i know you trust your wife, but you have to be careful. I am not sure I know what she is up to and why she wants to keep it a secret from you.
You said you did not know if she knew?
I…

How can I trust you if what you say is muddled with lies?

I ask him.

But he seems speechless now, he walks to the side, and then he lets out a sigh.

I have done what i needed to do and now, the rest is up to you, he said, as he brought out a cigarette and lit it, the red burning on the tip before he put the lighter away and drags carefully.

It's your life, he adds after he lets out a puff.

I know you have been messing with that lady. he glanced at me before he continued, I am talking about Sofia.

What are you talking about?

I just want to tell you that queenie is aware of your relationship with her.

I am standing there shocked
And he lets out the last puff before throwing the cigarette on the floor and stepping on it, he tells me.
You can't run from all of this or deny they don't exist, all you have to do is face them head on and tackle them. I will be right here with you all through it all.

We were still talking when we saw a ca’s flashlight from the gates, silver brown and his team were still inspecting when i caught sight of her curly dark hair from this end, i could see her lips too, and just then i remembered like a rush flood my body the first time we met and how she had given me a hand job in the livingroom.

My heart started to race. I watched from the roof, as she drove and parked. she stepped out of the car, her eyes shooting towards the roof. She could feel someone watching, she wanted to know who it was. I immediately left a half smile.

Who is it Freddy asked before he moved closer to the edge to have a look, and he saw Christine, wow she is here, he said as he followed me and we made our way down.
I was surprised. but at the same time a lot of thoughts were muddled in my head, i did not know what would bring Christine back to town at this time.

Hello christine i said, she walks by and asks to see queenie, before i answer she walks towards the room and we don't hear anything they say.
What do you think they are talking about freddy asks but i don't answer, because i too do not know.
I never knew she was pregnant too, how did that happen?

I don't answer him , I just sit down. I pick a beer from the pak Freddy had brought early and take a chug. It felt like this day was filled with the staleness of the past, and I had to watch it all unfold before me with nothing to do and to aid my fate.

I sit and wait, freddy too sits quietly and wait for the two to finish , the silence lasted longer than normal, we waited like two school kids whose parents had forgotten to pick them up and when we heard the wooden door creak open, we turn and glance towards the door as two women come out, with smiles on their faces and a sigh had left me immediately.

My worry had come back when queenie shot the door behind christine and i saw her eyes grow cold and sad, she walked back slowly without a word.

I felt sorry for what she was going through but now i need answers , so i followed her back into the room hoping she would say something hoping i would be able to initiate a truce between the two.
