Chapter Twenty-Nine
A/N: Backing up a little bit to where I left Chapter 27 off – a rock had been thrown through the window of Grissom & Sara's house where Wendy & David and their daughter Alicia was staying.
David read the note. "Watch out Wendy" i
David looked at his wife who was shaking in fear. "Why are they doing this to me David? Why can't they just let it go?"
David had no answer to that question. There was very bad relations between Wendy, her brothers and her mother. Wendy's mother Maureen was very controlling and somewhat vicious and would not stop at anything to get her daughter to obey her.
David went to Wendy and comforted her, while Grissom got on the phone with the police.
"What do you mean you can't do anything about it? This is a gated neighbourhood damn it! You are supposed to do background checks on everyone who moves in!" Grissom was saying rather loudly.
"I'm sorry sir, but that policy is unconstitutional and was removed from the rules. It was brought up at the last tenant meeting" the person on the other end of the phone replied.
"Unconstitutional my ass, we are talking about safety of the people living here! We have paid a lot of money for our homes in this gated community plus "condo fees" for the upkeep and security." Grissom continued.
"Sorry sir. It was deemed unconstitutional as I say. Anybody is allowed to move in as long as they have the money."
Grissom grimaced. "Thank you so much for your help" he said and slammed the phone down.
"Sara is not going to be happy" he said.
"Maybe it is time we look for a new place David." Wendy said through sniffles.
David nodded. "Yeah – maybe it is. I love living here but I think it's time we find our own place" he agreed.
Grissom returned to the living room.
"They changed their rules and anybody is allowed to move in here, even undesirables. They said that it is unconstitutional to deny anybody entry to living in this area. As long as they have the money, they are allowed to love here"
"Ok. Well we've been talking and we've decided that it is time we move out. We are going to be looking for a place and hopefully either by the end of this month or next, we will be out. We don't want our working relationship to be strained." David said.
Grissom nodded. "Sara and I may be thinking about moving out as well. This rock through the window is very scary. What if we were feeding the baby! It could have scared her or injured her."
Wendy and David nodded. "Let's clean up this mess and look for apartments."
While Grissom & David cleaned up the broken window pieces, Wendy went to tend to Alicia who was fussing in her crib. At ten months, she was eager for her supper an was babbling on about cereal.
A/N: Ok – this one was short, but it fit in perfectly. (it should have been chapter 28 and chapter 28 should have been chapter 29. But anyway – the story will continue where chapter 28 stopped. (Steve & Nancy moving in with Grissom & Sara at the end of the month & David and Wendy moving into their own apartment. – I haven't established if Sara & Grissom actually move out of their home yet as Grissom hasn't talked to Sara about it.
