The Party
It was a night like all other nights of the upper class, The drinks flowed the music played and the dancing was a hot mess of beautiful people. She had gone to the party like she always did not knowing this was going to be the last party of her life.
My shift was just over and I was clocking out as The Sheriff called me over, Jim got a sec sure I said we got a new rookie that I’d like you to break in, You got it boss.
So back to the patrol room I went to find the rookie polishing his badge I laughed. Ok Rookie let's get going Yes sir he said by the way the name is Bill, You got it Rookie I said with a grin on my face.
We got to the car clear us kid I mean Bill, This is car 4 rolling, Copy that and have a good night boys, said Jenny.
We went out to the outer limits of what is known as snob hill I parked the car grabbed a cup of coffee and was getting ready to settle for the night. Jim why the coffee so early Bill asks I smiled,Kid the most action we will most likely see is one of those uppity snobs speeding down that hill after having one two many. This is what we call a Rookie milk run I said laughing.
He had a very sad look on his face so I told him even I had this run as well a long time ago,consider it a right of passage at some point in time you will get to have fun like this as well, We both laughed at that and he grabbed a cup to join me.
The Chaos Begins
The night was going just like it was expected dull and boring…….. then all of the sudden the craziness began.
Code Red Repeat Code Red at 11 Terrace Lane Road. Ok Rookie you wanted action now we got it let's roll.
We got there just as the ambulance pulled up The Sheriff was there so I knew this must be something big. Jim Bill you're with me said The Sheriff, We walked into the house in time to see the attendants putting a blanket over her body, The Rookie Ran out the door to the Squad car to lose his cookies.
Ok Jim you know the drill said The Sheriff I started to look around the mansion. Within a few feet from me was Marla Oh boy this is not going to be easy I thought, Hi ya Marla I said well look what the cat drag in she said.
Looks like you won’t have to worry about your little groupie now will ya she said. I guess not I said You know very well she had nothing to do with our break up I said, Whatever she said as she drank another glass of wine. The Sheriff came over at that time asking what I thought of this wittiness I told him she had no info at this time and we can question her latter as the need arises.
All of the sudden there was a scream out of nowhere what I now thought, We got out there to see Bill pointing his gun into the bushes. All you could here was For this For This For This………………….
It was Juan the grounds keeper The Sheriff was so mad at the rookie that he told him to take Juan to the jail and to hold him for obstructing a homicide investigation all Juan could say was For this For this………….
Back in the mansion The Sheriff and I was trying to get anyone left in the building who was coherent to tell us about the night unfortunately it was a normal rich people night which means they were drunk to notice or care about anything.
The Sheriff looked at me and said this is going to be a long one, I agreed so I went and got the coffee out of The Sheriff's car poured us some, and started questioning the remaining witness.
The Death Of Juan
Back at the station Junior was keeping an eye on Juan he asked him what made him so scared back at the mansion. Juan would not speak at all, after a while Bill got so fed up he went to the Café to grab a bite and cup of joe, Hi ya Annie Hi ya Bill so what is going on that the entire jail had to leave town asked Annie ? Bill said there was a murder at the Terrace Lane Road mansion some lady in a red dress, Oh my Lord no shouted Annie as she dropped the coffee pot.
Back at the mansion Everyone was wrapping everything up and putting the tape on the doors, Ok Jim let's get back to the jail and see what Juan knows.
As The Sheriff and I arrived to find no Juan and no Bill great I said out loud The Sheriff gives me a look put it out on the air Yes sir. This is Officer Jim Calloway to all units out there, look for Officer Bill Johnson and Juan Phillips both missing from the Jail.
Right then Bill walks in with coffee and a bagel The Sheriff was ticked Where is Juan he yelled at junior right there in the cell…… Oh snap Bill says he was there I don’t get it….. You are on report for this. Until further notice you are now on desk duty.
I got back on the radio and called out to all units be on the lookout for Juan. Bill is here at the jail after all.
Cold Cases
It has been over a month and we still have no leads The Sheriff bellows out at roll call I want some action or your all on report and no one will get any promotions. Yes sir we all say at the top of our lungs
The Sheriff walks back into his office when the phone rings he picks it up apparently some kids were playing at the mansion grounds and found another body………
Jenny call car 4 tell them to meet me at the Brody mansion code 3 Yes sir she says and make sure that the hospital rolls an ambulance as well. We get there in time to see the kids scared out of their wits OK take it easy.
Yes sir they said still visibly shaken where did you find the body I ask, one of the kids says in the main entrance sir. Ok John take their names and wait for the sheriff I am going in.
I get to the main entrance and see the body and think crap he is not going to like this at all just then I hear the siren sounds well here we go.
Back at the Jail the sheriff is now hoping mad and yelling at everyone How the heck does the one witness we have get himself killed Juan had answers we need and now he is dead someone here is going to have to answer for that Officer Calloway you were responsible for the rookie You were training him For this you are FIRED…….... Get your things and get out of my station John make sure he leaves and does not touch anything he should.
Staring back at him I could not believe he said this,In case you don't understand English Get your stuff and get out of my jail now.
Being in my civilian clothes at the cafe felt strange at this time Annie felt so bad for me as she poured me a cup of coffee she could not help but say.
First Jessie gets killed then Juan the mansion has been abandoned for what feels like forever now and
still no leads this is not right hard to believe it is happening here.
Oh it happens alright unfortunately we just seem be be getting it all lumped in one shot I said.
Just not right she says how about some pie to go with that coffee. Sure I said thanks
What will you do now she asks, To be honest I am not sure something will turn up I guess. I could become a private cop at least I can do it my way for investigating. I just got to think all this through thanks for the coffee and pie I think I will head home.
Your welcome and you take care Jim said Annie
How Did This Happen
As I sat in my apartment wondering what road to take I could not help think of Marla and what she could possibly know.
So I made the trek to her place across town.
Knocking on her door she answered in her nightgown, so what brings you here to the shady part of town or are you slumping looking for a new sugar mama now that you have no police work and no girlfriend she asks.
Well that sounds good to me I said.
With a crazy look in her eyes she looks at me and says do you honestly think I would take you now.
You have no influence in the city you’re a has been deputy who could not get work in a county if he tried you...... OK that's enough I get it.
Sorry I came over here to talk and see what you knew about what happened that night I almost forget what kind of Drunk you were. I am glad I have left you and all your highly political friends have a good night if you can Marla.
Back at my place I was going nuts trying to make sense of all this when I heard the radio call.
At the hospital the sheriff was giving me the evil eyes then walks over to me and says you better pray she makes it if not your butt will be in my Jail in the morning got it mister. Yes sir I said good he said.
The Showdown
Back at the Jail the Sheriff was not pleased I had taken the law into my own hands and was about to read me the riot act when the call came in. Yes Doc I understand will be right there.
At the hospital Marla had a come to and wanted to make a full confession. I am so sorry Jim I was jealous of what you two had she said as she sobbed.
We were arguing but nobody could hear because of the music.
I told her I would do what it takes to make you my man again she laughed at me and kept laughing it drove me insane I saw red I picked up the falcon and hit her hard and hard again just as I saw the look in her eyes I knew I made a mistake I could not fix, and ran back into the ballroom and drank as much as I could until you all showed up that night.
The sheriff with a stunned look on his face could not believe what he had just heard. But took the statement anyway and made me his deputy again ok Officer take her in to custody and get the paperwork going on this. Yes sir I said.
Back at the office it was still hard to take in but it was a relief all at the same time.
Bill are you coming or not Yes sir said the rookie in the car I said clear us kid
This is car 4 rolling Roger that boys and have a good night.
Bill being in the driver's seat said So where to Sgt. with a grin on my face I turn to him and said take us to
snob hill kid and pour us a cup of coffee.
With a smile on his face and a wink in his eye he said yes sir and off we went.
It was a night like all other nights of the upper class, The drinks flowed the music played and the dancing was a hot mess of beautiful people. She had gone to the party like she always did not knowing this was going to be the last party of her life.
