A case with a twist
(Thanks for review, wanting more. They feed my writing.)
Josef asked, "Mick old buddy what's wrong?"
"Well a few weeks ago after Sammie and her friend argued. So did Beth and I," he answered.
"About?" Josef replied, "well we were talking about how many people we had in our lives. She said like 7 and I hold back a laugh and said I had almost like double that. I had 13, she started to get mad and questioned me. I said whoa! I am a lot older then her so she got mad," Mick explained.
"What else did you do?" He asked.
"Well I guess I was bragging," Mick said quietly, "see Mick women hate that." Josef stated.
"She hasn't kissed me since then, it's driving me crazy," he replied. "Poor Mick," Josef said. Mick's phone started to ring, he answered it when he saw who it was. "Yes my love?" "Hey don't we have a case to work on? Sammie's friend is about to leave." Beth said, "I'll be over there in a few," before he could say I love you she hung up. "Come on what else did you do to blondie?" Josef asked.
"She said something I didn't think was a joke and we've been fighting like almost every night," Mick said. "Oh okay good luck and bye bye then," Josef said.
At Mick's house
Beth was in the house while Sammie and her friend were outside with the friend's mother they were about to go get ice cream. Mick walked in the door and hung up his jacket and walked over to Beth who was in the kitchen.
He tried to give her a kiss and she moved away quickly dodging the kiss. "Beth.." Mick whined. "No Mick," Beth protested, "the last few weeks you don't even treat me like your husband," he said. "Well you'll it live," she said, "well I can't I'm dead," he said, Beth smiled at him, "well it can't kill you any more."
"Well I'll have to take it from you," he said swiftly moving towards her as she moved to the living room. "No Mick that's called rape." "It's not rape, you're my wife," he stated as they kept moving. "No rape is unwilling sex, rape is rape." She stated.
"No your my wife," he protested. "Your impossible," she said, "no I'm not," he said. As they were talking they were moving around the house, she was getting away from him while he was following her like a lost puppy. Sammie came home looking at her parents weirdly since they were moving around the house oddly and said, "can I come on the case with you?" "NO," Beth said, "yes she can," Mick said.
"No it's to dangerous," Beth stated, "mom… I'm half vampire for sakes," Sammie said. "Beth come on, it's just a drug case," Mick said. "What ever, I never get my way," Beth gave in. "Bull, you always get your way," Mick said. "Your so pushy," he added, "stop fighting," Sammie said throwing her arms up in the air.
They stopped just for her, they all got into Mick's car and drove to the park. The case was about a girl who got the wrong boyfriend and got into drugs. So how hard could it be? So the parent hired Mick to track her down and get her in the middle of the act. They were walking around the park like a normal family, which they weren't. Mick spotted them and was going to get Beth to get close enough to get some proof.
"No! I can do it, you remember last week for my class we had to see who like what more for common and rare, Which is more common or rare.." Sammie said. "Yeah," they both chimed, "I can go up to her and ask. She can't say no to this face," Sammie shot a cute pose.
"Sounds good," Mick said, "not to dangerous," Beth said. "Sammie is 7 and the girl is what like 17. What is going to happen," Mick said, "anything," Beth said quickly, crossing her arms over her chest. Before they knew it, Sammie had her notepad out and walking over to the girl.
Beth started to go after her until Mick grabbed her by the shoulder gently, "no she can do it." "Mick…" Beth whine, "she's fine," Mick stated, "Hello ma'am, I hate to bother you but can I ask you something, it's for school," Sammie asked, looking down playing shy. The girl said, "sure," while her boyfriend was tapping his foot. "Well we're learning about common and rare in school. So what's your favorite color?" She asked, the girl replied with a smile, "purple." "Thank you," Sammie smiled at her, "your welcome cutie," the girl said. Sammie ran slowly back to her parents.
"Okay, I don't know what your looking for but I got something from their pockets while they weren't looking," Sammie said. "You sly fox," Beth smiled. Sammie pulled out lipstick and a tiny bag of crack.
Mick quickly grabbed the drugs and said, "good job kid." "That was like the easiest 5 grand," Beth stated. They got back into the car, the boyfriend and girl started bickering and throwing their arms in the air and shouting. Mick watched them, when the guy hit the girl he got out of the car and ran over to them in a flash.
Mick grabbed the guy, "didn't your mother teach you not to hit girls?" He growled. The boy flinched back and jerked but didn't get free from Mick's grasp. "Let me go!" The boy shouted, "let him go," the girl added. The boy wiggled trying to get free. Mick dropped in and said, "fine, I'll just go talk to her father." He started walking away and the girl was shouting, "what! No!" But it was to late, Mick was in the car, driving away from the local park. When he reached the building where her father worked, the family got out and found the boy and girl already there. "Mr. St. John," the father said. "No I have the proof," he handed him the crack. "What is this?" the father asked his daughter, "I don't know that's not mine." The boy started to run, Mick started chasing him and caught him easily.
At the end of the day, the kids were busted and the boyfriend ended up in jail while the girl was knee deep in trouble.
