He laughs ”Miss Alexander, you suffered a
traumatic experience, why would you say such
a thing?”
”Because you hate me, because you do and
probably had your own reasons. Infact, you are
the only one in this room who doesn’t seem
to be surprise to see me alive, you knew i was
alive right, how?”
He laughs ”Look..i…i am shocked to see that
you aren’t dead as with everyone in this room.
I mean those pictures and..wow, there is a
God up there, what a relief. Your family,
everyone who must have been devastated by
your supposed death would take the heavens
that you are alive and well. And we thought it
was..oh God , thank God, everyone, she is
alive, she is alive” He clap-s his hands together
in mock relief as though he intends to pray.
Everyone is muttering
”You cannot fool me. You can do that to
everyone but not me. Why the hell did you lock
me in that room, did you have plans for me,
what was the plan hmm?”
”Oh wait, let me get this straight, i locked you
up in the sto-reroom for what exactly because i
don’t like you?”
”Yes”
He laughs ”Miss Alexander, have you had your
head examined? I mean you nee-d to, such
traumatic experience could tell badly on a
person, i un-derstand. I would, we would forgive
your utterance.”
She takes a step closer ”You call me a liar?”
‘Yes, i do. Infact, come to think of it, how do
we know you didn’t plan this to ruin the
Mayor’s son, i mean, that is also possible”
Now everyone is muttering even more,
Christine watches, a smile curving at her li-ps.
That’s right Jimmy, turn the tables around on
her.
Alexander laughs ”Right. I locked myself in the
sto-reroom, got myself attacked, then managed
to get Jaime to come save me so i can frame
him up, to what end? What do i get to
achieve?”
”You tell me Miss Beckington, you are the one
who has conveniently risen from the dead”
She nods ”Oh, right, here is my thought.” she
taps her li-ps ” I still do not know why i was
used as a scheme of yours, i do believe that
is the case . So, let me put things together
that i think might makes sense to you, infact
to all of you because it doesn’t makes sense
to me.
You had a run in with me and then hated me,
you locked me in because, well , i don’t know,
you want me out of the way, maybe. Scenario
exhibit A- Say for instance you attacked me ,
almost killed me, and right on time, Jaime
shows up and saves the day which may be
what you want. Then guess what, someone
was there at the nick of time to take pictures,
and send to the press ..and then viola, Jaime
is christened a murderer, and he is on the
low…he can’t go about his business and
maybe he gets tossed in jail while they
investigate or maybe the case gets to be
tossed un-der the carpet and he never gets to
see the light of the day again…
Now , while that is going on, who do yo think
is benefiting from the situation,? Is it me, a
girl who has no connection to him and ties to
whatever he is or you.? Well, i do remember
that he is supposed to be running for president
right at the Heritage group. i mean, that dinner
he took me for the first day and i met his
parents for the first time not knowing that he
was the Mayor’s son. Well, the Mayor wanted
him to make a pitch and he kept turning it
down and you seemed too happy to not want
him to do any thing, i remember your words
saying ” He doesn’t want to, let him so people
who are too qualified can take the chance at
it ”..so, putting two and two together…This is
my overall theory -Jaime is not available to
pitch at the primaries election, who do you
think has a better chance of winning if you put
it on the table spread out?”
Jimmy frowns, he should shut her up . ‘Miss
Alexander, i think you should think carefully
before you begin to say things that do not
make sense and are inappropriately an-alysed.”
”You Jimmy” She answers for him, ” because
right before i walked into this conference room
…” she continuous ignoring him ”The drive
here, i took a little time to go throu-ghthose
who are candidates for this position online and
then i saw the rankings and achievements and
then is saw the vetos on each head….i do not
know the statistics but…i un-derstand that he
was your your only competition in this race
and once he is no more in the picture, it’s an
automatic win for you, yes?”
”I would ask that you refrain from making such
statements or any more!” He says throu-gh
clenched teeth.
The Mayor watches and listens, trying to
un-derstand what Alexander is saying .
”Tell me i am not hitting close to the truth? I
still do not know the shit that is going on but
that i can tell is close to the truth.”
Mr, Chena steps forward noticing Jimmy’s
angered look. Whatever this woman was
yabbing about, they must not let her distract
them from winning today, Jimmy has got to win,
that is all that matters.
”Miss Alexander ..we are happy to see that
you are safe, the city would be in joy and also
would that false notion of the Mayor’s son be
cleared out …but ofcourse, the investigation
would go on, because now, there is a missing
puzzled of who attacked you and i am sure we
would do everything to catch him. So, right
now, we have an election so if you would
please excuse us and-”
”Shut up fatso” she says pointing at him.
Adam chuckles behind
”What are you , his dog or his spokesman?”
she continuous
”Miss Alexander, it would be wise that you-” he
began again
”Oh, wow! You are Mr Chena yes? I saw you
on Tv saying trash about Jaime Lockswire and
stuff..i do not like you”
He opens his mouth to speak again
”I said shut up, or i would spit in your face,
don’t dare me Mr, i am street, i would do it
street style”
Adam laughs now, so did a few other people ,
she turns back to face Jimmy ”Why you lock
me in that sto-re room? or you are going to
allow your co-ck su-cking dog to masturbate
over this question too?”
”You are delusional” he hisses.
”Why did you lock me in that Sto-re room
damnit!!” she took a step closer to him,
Christine watches the exchange from where she
stood. Jimmy didn’t seem to have it un-der
control, it was becoming dangerously sli-ppery
watching the exchange, this Alexander girl was
not going to be tossed off the scent easily.
She wondered if she should stay and see the
end of this or she should leave just incase it
blows out in the open that he really did have
something to do with her attack. Jimmy would
not pull her down with him. No way.
Jimmy ti-ghtens his fist, tempted to pull her
close to him and then strangle her till she
stops breathing. This time, she wouldn’t be
able to come back to life.
”I did not” He says throu-ghclenched teeth
”You would deny you didn’t rou-ghen me up at
the charity party hosted by the Mayor and
threatened to make my life hell for stepping on
your toes? You would deny you didn’t grab me
and rou-ghened me up some hmm ? You would
deny you grabbed me from the back, and
when i struggled you pushed me into the sore
room and then locked me in? You would deny
this?”
‘Yes!!”
”And if i have proof?”
Jimmy smiles now, ”Show me then. if you
have prove, because you have none, know
why?Because there is nothing like that because
i didn’t do anything. If you you have nothing
more to say, you can step away from my face,
i have a pitching to complete as you can see,
the world is waiting to hear me finish the
beautiful pitching i began. Again, thank God
you are alive and maybe, we can seat at a
round table and discuss your safety and that
of other women and then we catch whoever
attacked you and locked you in..for now, step
away”
He chuckles , prove? There was none, he burnt
the reports. She had nothing on him. H e
adjusts his suit..
Then he hits him, unless.. ..
He quickly looks up to see Adam smiling, No
he did not. He wouldn’t dare, he already told him
no one would believe him, now he goes and
give it to this bitc-h. He promised him what he
would do to him and to Jaime did he not, now,
there was no mercy, not for him, not for
Jaime or his family, not for this Alexander.
He saw her putting her hands into her pocket ,
He looks up to see Gareth, and then nods .
There was no way he was going to let her ruin
this for him. No way!! First, he must do
something to get her removed from here. Even
if it means….
”Don’t shoot me please” He screams raising up
his hands, a loud gasp fills the room, he
backs away, Alexander is shocked…
”Wait what?”
”Ma’am, ” Gareth pulls out his gun, so did
every officer in the room, Adam reaches for
his..an officer points a gun at him.
”It’s not a gun” Alexander chokes
Everyone is docking for cover as a lady
screams. Mr Chena goes to Jimmy, the Mayor
holds his wife as a few officers cover him
”Sir..are you okay?” Mr Chena asks Jimmy.
Gareth takes steps to Alexander, pulling her
hand from her pocket and then swinging her
around and bending her hands to her back
painfully.
”Let me go you as-s-hole!, it’s not a gun, it’s –
Owww!!” she screams out in pain as he
squee-zes her hands ti-ght as she struggles.
Jacob stands up trying to push the officers
away from his view,
”Do something” Gem touches his arm
”What the hell is going on?” He wails
”She is reaching for a gun Sir” Gareth was
quick to say ”I think it would be safe for
everyone if i take her away , she-”
”I told you, she is crazy. i …maybe she faked
this whole thing and now she comes here to,
Officer please” Jimmy cries out.
”Salim, Salim” Jacob bellows calling the Chief
of Police.
The Chief of Police who had stepped out
briefly to answer a call rushes back in hearing
his name. Seeing the commotion he reaches
for the gun, scanning briefly and sizing the
situation as confusion sets it.
”Salim, handle this” Jacob says at the top of
his voice sighting him.
The Chief of Police steps forward, walking
towards Gareth, seeing the reason for the
commotion. He sights Adam, he saw his
hands behind his back. He was Jaime’s
bodyguard, that one he knew and he was
licensced to carry a weapon. And she..
He staggers…”You are alive?” He breaths,
Alexander is being turned around as Gareth
tries to cuff her for-cefully.
”Let me go”
”Gareth, what is going on here?”
”She has a gun sir, she was threatening Mr
Jimmy and accusing him and-”
”Liar, let me go!!”‘ she screams out in pain.
”I think you should listen to her” Adam says
throu-ghclenched teeth., he pulls out his gun,
the a few other officers point a gun at him.
Someone screams, more people moved away.
The Mayor pushes the officers from his view
”Salim, order your men to stand down”
”Let me go as-s-hole, it’s not a gun you fxxking
moron”
Jimmy stares at Gareth, urging him with his
eyes to take her away before anything
interrupts the whole election, he wouldn’t let
her have her way no.
”Salim, tell you your officer to step away from
her, put his gun down and order the officers to
do so as well. She means no harm, and i do
not believe she is carrying a gun” Jacob
thun-ders
”Stand down Gareth, everyone stand down” The
chief of Police orders
Gareth stares at Jimmy again, who shakes his
head , he stares at the Mayor and then the
chief of police..”Sir, it is my intuition that this
lady may have a hidden agenda and…”
”Step down, that is an order” He touches his
arm.
”If you do not let her go within the minute, i
would not be responsible for my actions”Adam
hisses fingering his trigger.
”Let me go!!! You di-ck , i swear to God i
..owww!!” Alexander screams at Gareth who
still has her hand pinned behind her.
”Gareth?” Salim, the chief of police orders
angrily now. ”You disobey my orders?”
‘Salim?” Jacob orders ”I will not repeat myself,
i am the Mayor and i am asking you to order
your men to stand down, now”
”This is my life we are talking about ” Jimmy
flares up ”She has a gun, take her away”
Jimmy orders ”You are the Police, meant to
protect lives, well i am in danger, i perceive so
so you take care of me. Take her away”
”Oh God someone do something” Mrs Barlow
chokes
”Jacob” Mrs Gemmylyne calls his name ”Do
something, don’t let them hurt her or take her
away”
Jacob opens his mouth to give another order ,
Alexander screams again. ”Let me go, you are
hurting me!!!”
”LET HER GO, NOW!!!”
Everyone turns to the voice. They find him
standing at the entrance of the conference
room.
