Disclaimer: I own the story… not the characters.
Chapter 9
Helga's POV
"What do you mean that's not him" the lady said to me staring at the body that was supposed to be Brian.
I pulled out my phone as fast as I could and found the most recent photo of Brian. She took my phone and walked back into the room with the body in it. She went to examine the facial features of both the photo of Brian and the dead body.
"I don't see that much of a difference" she shouted to me.
I walked into the room she was in, it smelled like death in here. I stood next to her and looked at the dead male she was right they did looked the same. If Brian wanted to fake his death he chose the right person to do it.
"Look this guy has freckles and a birth mark on his neck, Brian doesn't have any of those" I shouted to her.
I took my phone from her hands and took out the card the detective gave me and dialed his number.
"Detective Riley" he said
"This is Helga Pataki I came to your office a while ago and I came to the medical examiner's office like you told me and you have the wrong guy, that's not Brian" I rushed saying to him.
"Ok calm down and I'll be down there in a few minutes" he told me and hung up.
This is so crazy; just a few days ago I was living a normal life. I never knew Brian hated me so much that he killed a guy or whatever he did to him just to get to me. I wish Brian could just face me like a man and talk to me. I didn't even do anything to him. All I did was hit him well that was because he decided to talk to me in any way he wanted and I wasn't having that. I just want to go home and wish that none of this stuff never happened. I liked the nice Brian who would cuddle with me on the couch and buy me food when I was feeling down. Now I have the Brian who I never met before he's a psycho. I should of listened to Arnold when he said watch out for him. Speaking of Arnold I really should take him up on that offer to take me to lunch cause I'm starving. I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Helga?" Detective Riley said.
I turned towards him with an angry look on my face. "How did you get the wrong person, cops don't mess up!"
"Well his mom said that was him and that guy looks just like him".
"Don't listen to that witch she tells lies and speaking of this guy, who is he?"
"That is for us to find out and why are you so angry that Brian is alive that should be a good thing."
"No, it's not a good thing, Brian threatened me and my friend and he might just kill me" I shouted walking away.
"Wait" he said jogging up to me. "You need some sort of protection with him on the loose; I can stay with you at your home".
"I can protect myself"
"With what?"
"I have a gun; if he comes I won't be afraid to shoot him"
"That's what you have the cops for, so it's final I'll stay with you, I'll just get some clothes and I'll pick up some food and I'll be right over."
"Great just have fun figuring out where I live David"
"I'm a cop I'll figure it out Helga" he laughed
I started the walk to my car; I really don't want David Riley staying at my apartment. Sure I would love the extra protection. But if Brian did come to pay me a lovely visit I would like to handle things my own way. I make my way to my apartment complex and I decide it would be nice to pay Arnold a visit I guess he is my "friend".
Arnold's POV
I hear a knock on my door; I wasn't expecting anyone to see me, I never expect anyone to see me. I get up from the couch to walk over to the door to open it and I see Helga.
"Uh hey" I said.
"You want to come over, I wouldn't mind some company" She chuckled quietly.
"Yea sure" I rubbed the back of my neck flexing my muscles a tad; I thought she would like it.
She shook her head laughing "Such a strange one you are" and turned to head to her apartment and I followed behind.
"So did you decide to take me up on that lunch offer" I asked her sitting on her couch.
"Uh well I was but now there's a dilemma, I thought Brian was dead and now he's not so now I'm stuck here" she said.
"Well that's one sick bastard, how do you know he's not dead maybe someone really did kill him…again"
"That's a possibility but I don't know, knowing him he's probably still alive hanging out creating some evil plan about how to kill me but now I have a bodyguard" she laughed
"Who? Me, well it depends on how much you pay me" I said wiggling my eyebrows at her.
"EW no" she laughed "Some cop who's staying with me, he should be here soon"
"Oh I didn't know cops do the stay at someone's house and watch type of thing" I said
"Me neither I guess patrolling the house and perimeter is not the thing to do anymore but I can still kick him to the curb if I need to and hire you as a replacement but I'm not paying you" she said poking my sides.
"No no no not the poking thing that tickles"
"Oh it does well you shouldn't of told me that" she said hopping on top of me tickling my sides. I tried to push her off of me but she finally stops and is left straddling me. I took the opportunity to lean into her and kiss her but she quickly gets up and sits back on the sofa.
"What are you doing" she shouts to me.
"What did you think I was doing, I did it before why can't I do it again?"
"Because…because I don't want you to do it again, I don't like you like that, I like you as a friend".
"So you change your mind about me that fast" I said looking away from her.
"I didn't even think you liked me, I don't seem like your type anyway"
"Well I tried to change for you, I cut my hair and all that good stuff, I cleaned up myself so you would actually look at me and give me a chance but I see that was a waste of time" I said standing up to leave.
"Wait, Arnold don't go… look you know I just got out of a relationship and I wouldn't think it would be a good idea to hop into another relationship but I wouldn't mind if you took me out but…"
A knock interrupted her; I looked at her door and back at her. "So are you going to get that or me?" I asked her.
"Uh you can"
I walked to her door to open it and I see that worthless cop standing behind it and I slammed the door in his face.
"Who was that" she said getting up to answer the door but I pulled her back.
"Get rid of him" I told her but he decided to knock again. I let go of her and she walked to the door to let him in.
"Hey David" she told him with a smirk on her face
"Hey" he said glaring at me and looking back at her smiling "Where do I put my stuff?"
"Uh you can leave your bag in the living room and you can put the food on the counter, I'll be right back" she said and turned to me to pull me in the hallway with her.
"What is your problem?" she whispered to me.
"That fake cop over there is friends with Brian and his weird gang of friends"
"So what I can't choose his friends and isn't he too old to be friends with Brian he has freaking grey hair"
"He dyed it and think about this Helga why would you want one of Brian's friends in your house"
"Oh yea you're right, I had a dumb moment there" she laughed and walked to the kitchen "Uh, Arnold, where did he go?" and turned towards me with her mouth open and looked behind me.
"Well that was a dumb mistake to open up your mouth Shortman" he said pushing his gun to the back of my head.
"And why do I always get stuck in the middle of people's situations must be because of my mouth" I thought.
