X-Xtreme Loyalty
"Go on Dana, put the cuffs on. You get to be the hero right?" Brandon said.
"What the hell is wrong with you Brandon? Has she really got you so turned around that you can't even tell that you are throwing your life away?"
"I'm not throwing anything away…and I'm telling you right now that if you go down this road, I will no longer be your partner. I will not tolerate you trying to railroad an innocent woman."
"She's not innocent Brandon. We both know that she killed him… why is it so hard for you to admit that? Is she really that good in the sack?"
Brandon never wanted to hit a woman more…she was not a lady in his eyes…she was simply a bully who was disrespecting his wife. His fists clenched up in anger and he put his fist through the wall.
"Does that make you happy now Dana? To take cheap shots at a woman who isn't here to defend herself."
"That could change you know? All you have to do is tell the truth."
"You leave my wife alone…you've done enough to her…Now I'm going to do us both a favor and walk away …if I stay here much longer then I might forget I'm a gentleman…"
"Brandon…"
"Save it…as of now I'm handing in my resignation. I will not work with a woman who treats the woman I love like yesterday's garbage. Now are you going to arrest me or am I free to go?"
"You can go, "she finally said. How could she arrest a man who was clearly lying for his wife? What he saw in that woman she would never understand.
Brandon returned to Guya's hospital room to find her desperately trying to get out of bed.
"Where do you think you're going," Brandon asked, helping her back into bed and kissing the top of her head. "And where the hell is Van?"
"He just left okay. "
"Then why don't you look happy?"
"I told him I wouldn't choose between you two…"
"You did huh?"
She almost wanted to smack him for that ridiculous grin but she did not. She reached for his hand and said softly…"I love you Brandon. I am not going to let my son get between us. I love him but he needs to understand that there is someone new in my life…someone who makes me very happy."
"Then will you consider leaving Venice with me?"
