Angel Magnassco walked into her law firm office. When she stepped off
the elevator she saw her secretary talking to a bunch of cops.
"Is there something wrong?" Angel asked.
"Are you Angel Magnassco?" A cop asked. Angel looked shocked.
"Why yes, I am." She answered. They came over and handcuffed her.
"Angel Magnassco you are under the arrest for kidnapping Shayleen Helms." The cop started. Angel's screamed over him.
"I didn't fucking kidnap her! I wouldn't fucking kidnap her!" She growled, losing her sweet and innocent fake voice that Nidia hated so much.
~~~~~~~
Shane tuned out the police officers talking. He didn't care. He didn't want to hear talk. He didn't care about talk. Talk was shit. He wanted action. He wanted his beautiful three year old daughter lying on his chest at night sleeping while he lay on the couch watching TV with Nidia curled up at his feet on the other end of the couch. He wanted to come home Wednesday afternoon and hear Shayleen scream "Daddy" and ran into his arms. He wanted to take her to the movies, take her to get her haircut, take her to the mall, buy her clothes, buy her toys, buy her things she didn't need, whatever, anything, he just wanted his little girl back.
Shane readjusted his position on the couch and glared at the cop. He didn't look at all worried. That was pissing Shane off.
"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." Shane said between clenched teeth. Everyone shut up and looked at him.
"Shane, honey, please." Nidia said and put her hand on his arm. Shane jerked away.
"Get off your fucking jelly donut eating fat asses and LOOK FOR MY DAUGHTER!" Shane screamed.
"Mr. Helms we're working on it-" Shane cut the cop off.
"BULLSHIT! You're sitting on my fucking chair! My daughter is NOT IN THIS HOUSE! Get out there and look!"
"Shane calm down!" Nidia screamed. Shane glared at her.
"Well since you guys don't care I'm going out to look for my daughter." Shane said calmly and walked out of the house.
~~~~~~
"Shane!" Jeff screamed. Shane jumped. He was so caught up in looking for Shayleen he didn't notice Jeff and his girlfriend Terri Runnels walking down the street.
"What?" Shane asked dryly.
"Modesty's out of the mental ward." Jeff said. Shane's head began to spin. He felt dizzy.
"Modesty's out?" Shane asked. This was all coming at him at once. Sure it was only two things, but they were two major things. It's not everyday your three year old daughter is kidnapped by someone you thought was your friend and your crazy ex-girlfriend who tried to kill you while making you suffer by recalling a painful event in your past is let out of a mental ward.
"Yeah I saw her earlier. She moved into her old house."
"Unfuckingbelievable. Did you talk to her?"
"Nah man. She looks the same though."
"Crazy?"
"No like she did when we were younger. You know calm, cool and in total control."
"Oh."
"How ya been?"
"Jeff don't ask."
"You and Nidia get in a fight?"
"I wish."
"What?"
"Angel took Shayleen."
"What?"
"Angel fucking kidnapped Shayleen! I don't know where she is and no one's doing anything to find her! So I came out here to look and you just told me about Modesty."
"That's fucking messed up."
"You're telling me."
"Shane come on. Let's go back to your house. The cops will find her, I promise."
"THEY'RE SITTING ON MY COUCH!"
"Shane there's more then those cops. They have other men on the job. Those guys are just questioning everyone to try and find Shayleen."
"I guess you're right."
"Come on." Jeff said and they started walking back towards Shane's house.
~~~~~
"I don't know where she is!" Angel exclaimed and laid her crying face on the table.
"Don't lie to us. You'll get less time if you tell the truth." A cop said. Angel's head snapped up.
"I am! I'm telling the truth! I did not take Shayleen and I do not know where she is."
"Ok then, Angel, humor me. Tell me everything that happened that night."
"Alright. I when I went over I took Shayleen out for lunch because it was a little after lunch time. Then I took her to the park, she got dirty so I came home and gave her a bath. Then I made her dinner and put her to bed." Angel said for the millionth time, her story never changing. The cop sighed.
"That's enough." He said and walked out. Angel started crying again. Her life was falling apart.
"Is there something wrong?" Angel asked.
"Are you Angel Magnassco?" A cop asked. Angel looked shocked.
"Why yes, I am." She answered. They came over and handcuffed her.
"Angel Magnassco you are under the arrest for kidnapping Shayleen Helms." The cop started. Angel's screamed over him.
