She Hate Me
Chapter 4As Ashley was walking out the door of Spencer's office, she called out. "Ashley wait, I think I'll go home with you. It's just monthly reports I have to do and I can do them at home. We'll take my car and I'll ask Glen if he would drive yours home."
"Spencer that would be great I really didn't feel like traveling by myself. And we'll take my car and let your brother drive your car home. You know I don't let just anybody drive my baby."
"Ashley, it's just a Range Rover."
"Yeah, but it's gotten me through a many situations."
"Okay Ashley," Spencer said giving into her wife. "I think we should start coming to work together from now on."
"Why Spencer? I'm still able to drive myself here and there."
."Well, it's getting close to your due date and I don't want you relying on just your cell phone if you should have car trouble or go into labor."

Lieutenant Morgan returned that evening to Carlin-Davies residence to discuss in detail the second delivery.
"There were no fingerprints on the box or the tablet, so we'll back to square one, Lieutenant Morgan stated. "Spencer what does your mother have against you?"
"She hates me! Why I have no idea, other than the fact, I stopped letting her control my life, she rather see me dead or rotting in jail."
"Well, what's she got against Ashley?"
"Probably because Ashley married me and she makes me happy, my mother does not want to see me happy, ever."
"That's just crazy, how can a mother hate her child so much and a grown child at that, Lieutenant Morgan said. Controlling an adult should not be an issue. I'm going to get permission to tap your phone. Maybe she might decide to start calling."
"I think you and Ashley should consider hiring a bodyguard service," Lieutenant Morgan said.
Spencer and Ashley looked at each other. Ashley spoke first, "I don't think that will be necessary Janice." "Maybe we should consider it Ashley, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you and the baby," Spencer said.
Arthur agreed, "I'm going to look into hiring bodyguards for the both of you." "But Arthur…" "no buts Ashley I don't want anything to happen you, Spencer or my grandchild."

Spencer replaced Ashley's cell phone and the bodyguards were hired for Spencer and Ashley's protection. One month went by and nothing, no more packages were delivered, no phone calls began. Everything was quiet, so the bodyguards were let go, both ladies went back to their usual routine… until one evening.
Spencer and Ashley were relaxing in their bedroom when the doorbell rang.
"Yes who is it?" Spencer asked.
"I have a special delivery for Mrs. Ashley Carlin-Davies."
"Okay!" Buzzzz
Ding Dong!
"I'll sign for it, thanks", Spencer said.
"Ashley you have a package this one has a return address. It's from here in New York City."
Ashley opens the package and finds her cell phone, lesson planner and a note addressed to Spencer.
"What does the note say Spencer?" Ashley asked.
Spencer began reading the note aloud… "see how easy it is for me to get to your pregnant bitch Spencer. I could have done anything to her. I could have just grabbed her and left. She certainly is getting big, you know I asked her if she was having twins. Of course she told me no. I'm going to be a grandmother, how wonderful. I'm returning your dear wife's belongings, I have what I need from them. I'm just toying with you right now Spencer, but wait you're time is coming, we will meet and soon…Affectionately your mother."
Spencer had to sit down, she was shaking so bad. We need to hire the bodyguards back, "I'll call my dad and Janice, this note, Spencer said, shaking it angrily in the air is taunting me about her being able to snatch you away from me. Damn!"
"Spencer, please calm down," Ashley pleads with her wife. "You're just going to make yourself sick."
Lieutenant Morgan arrives at the apartment along with Arthur and Glen. "So, you're received a third package Spencer?"
"Yes, but it's only Ashley's belongings returned with a note," Spencer replied.
"I must say Mr. Carlin your ex-wife in that warped mind of hers is quite intelligent."
"If all the criminal minds were like hers there would be no one in the prisons or jails," Lieutenant Morgan said shaking her head. "No fingerprints, no return address, even the delivery company which is private doesn't know who's bringing in the packages to be delivered. It's always someone different. Paula knows it is a federal offense to send anything threatening through the U.S. postal service, so she hires a private delivery service. Smart!"
As Lieutenant Morgan continues to talk, Spencer's phone rings…
"Hello."
"Hello Spencer it's your mother, how do you like your packages so far, dear?"
"Mom what do you want from me?" Spencer asks as she puts her mother on the speaker phone.
Everyone stopped talking to listen to Spencer's conversation.
"I just wanted to say hello to my darling daughter and ask how did you like that second package I had delivered. The headstone color of course can be changed at the appropriate time."
"Mother do you realize what kind of shock that package put Ashley in? SHE FAINTED FOR GOD'S SAKE. SHE'S EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO HER, TO ME? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? I'M YOUR DAUGHTER," Spencer yelled into the phone.
Spencer takes a deep breath and in a less agitated state, she asks her mother, "What do I need to do to keep you away from me and my family?"
"You will soon find out my pathetic daughter, listen to yourself whining to me about your equally pathetic wife. So what she fainted! She's going to do more than that when I finish with you. Well, I guess I should have ordered a matching headstone for my dear daughter-in-law. You know what they say Happy in life, Happy in death. Ha ha ha!" Click.
Lieutenant Morgan calls her people on the phone tap… "this is Morgan did you get a trace on that phone call?"
"No, Lieutenant the call was too short." "Damn!" "Thanks guys, stay on it."
Spencer's POV
I am trying not to possess the evil thoughts my mother seems to want me to develop. But right now if she were standing here in front of me I would fucking kill her. She's taunting me, endangering the well being of my wife and unborn child and I want to fucking kill her. I WANT HER DEAD.

Spencer's eyes became a color that Ashley could not decipher. "Spencer… Spencer look at me." Ashley was on her knees trying to bring Spencer out of the evil thoughts she knew she was having. "Spencer, stop… I know what you're thinking. You need to look at me and think of us, think of the baby. We need you here with us not in some prison."
Spencer calmed down, but said nothing grabbing Ashley's hand, kissing the palm that had been stroking her face.
Ashley still concerned about Spencer didn't hear Lieutenant Morgan ask her a question. "Ashley…"
"I'm sorry what did you say, Janice?" "Did anything strange happen to you the day your phone and lesson planner went missing?"
"Um… nothing I can think of… oh, wait I had an a observer in my class that day."
"Was there anything strange about her?" Janice asked.
"Well… sort of, she openly stared at me for several minutes before saying anything. She would glance at my face, then my stomach then back to my face. I caught her leering at me once and the leer wasn't sexual, it was evil," Ashley said.
"What did… Spencer stopping to clear her throat… what did she look like?"
"She had shoulder length black hair, she was tall, her eyes were an emerald green. Her facial features and voice seemed vaguely familiar to me. I felt like I had meet her somewhere before. The black hair and green eyes didn't fit her. Her voice reminded me of Spencer's. When I closed my eyes as she was talking to me I could swear it was Spencer talking to me."
"It was her, she's in New York," Spencer said.
"How do you know," Janice asked Spencer. "The woman Ashley described had black hair and green eyes."
"Wake up Janice! Hair color can be changed as well as eye color. You know… color contacts. The woman is there standing at Ashley's desk. Ashley turns her back and her personal belongings turn up missing to end up back here wrapped in a box with a note from my loving mother. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out." Spencer said now pacing the floor.
"Spencer calm down," Arthur said.
"No! I will not calm down. It was her! We need to do something. I don't want anything happening to Ashley and the baby. The note was right she could have taken Ashley and no one would have been the wiser."
"Spencer I can't see your mother hurting the baby, Ashley said."
"SHE KILLED DEXTER! What the hell does she care about doing harm to someone else?" Spencer yelled.
