Now that I'm home I don't have much. The only things I got going for me are my parents are super rich,my wife loves me and I got a baby boy on the way. I'd ask my parents for money but they disowned me when I got married. Heh, they her and she hates them. I pull into the little shack we call a garage and get off of my homemade scooter.
My wife must've heard me pull in because she greets me at the door. Hey big sexy,she says,you're right on time for dinner. Aren't I always? No,not always. She frowns at this. Baby I've told you before,the motor is old and it breaks down from time to time. I know but,she pauses. But what? I ask. I'm not worried about the bike...I'm worried about you getting killed at work. Don't worry about that ok? When I'm at work I'm every well protected.
Satisfied,she starts to smile. Come on,dinner's getting cold. I made your favorite by the way. We walked inside together while holding hands. How was your day? Good,the baby has been kicking all day. How was yours. Except for the kid getting plastered all over the highway? I think,good I tell her. That's good,I'm glad no one got hurt.
After dinner I help her with the dishes and when we are done there's a movie on tv she wants to watch. A few hours later,the movie is over and I realize she fell asleep in my lap. The last thing I wanna do is wake her so I just sleep on the couch. When I wake up,she's gone. I assume she woke up at some point last night she got up and went to bed. I head to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast when the phone rings. I answer I quickly to avoid awaking my wife.
Hello,I say, who's this? This is lieutenant Gibbs of the Los angeles police department. I need to ask you a few questions about your parents. Ok I'll be there in about an hour or so. I hang up and get ready to leave but before I get to the door my stomach rumbles and I remember I haven't eaten yet. I make some toast and take it with me. Oh,in case you're wondering what my name is,its mathew jones but my friends call me matt.
When i get to the police department I see a very attractive female at the front desk. I think I know her from somewhere. Matt? she says letting me know who she is. Matthew Jones oh my god its so good to see you! Hey beth, how ya been? I've been good, I got my dream job.
Thats great, I lie knowing damn well the last thing she wanted to do was sit behind a desk all day. Beth and I dated for a little while back in high school. One night we went to a party and they ran out of beer and asked me to go get some. While i was gone i got the sickening feeling that I should've stayed. When i get back i found out that five jocks from our school had raped her.
I took her to a hospital as fast as I could. After I made sure she was okay, I went looking for the motherfuckers who did it. When i did, i beat the living hell out of all five of them. I never turned them in though. What are you doing here? Oh, I got a call from a guy named gibbs. He wanted to ask me a few questions about my parents. Well he just got back from lunch break,I'll show ya to his office. thanks sweetheart, appreciate it. She gives me a look of surprised disbelief. I realize what i just said and apologize.
Dont worry about it,she says, if i didn't see that ring on your hand i would've asked if you wanted to get some coffee or something sometime soon. We could but just as friends,i say. I know but it would be kind of weird going out with a married man. I go out with married men all the time.
She gives me a strange look. I chuckle, I mean at work. Oh Okay I was about to say. What do you do? I do enough odd jobs to supply for me,my wife,and unborn son. No way, you have a baby? Yeah,on the way,a son. How can you tell? Well i used to be a doctor until I lost a patient and got fired. Oh god im sorry. Dont be, i was going to quit the next week anyways. She points towards an office door. Theres where you're headed matt. Thanks beth, i owe you.
I knock on the door and a voice from the other side says,come in. Ahh you must be matthew. yes sir,just call me Matt. Alright Matt it is, have you talked to your parents recently?
no sir, they disowned me after i got married. The guy sitting across from me was approximately 6'6" and around 135 pounds, dark skinned with a few coffee stains in his must be lieutenant gibbs, i think to myself. I'm still looking him over when he calls me again. Matt! he says. yes sir?, I say in response. Your parents have been murdered.
i start to laugh uneasily,bullshit… this is probably another one of dads sick jokes again. Its no joke matt they really are dead. your father was shot from at least a mile away and your mother was shot in the head point blank range. After about five minutes of this uneasy laughter gibbs has the audacity to ask me if im fine. Of fucking course not, you just told me my parents have been killed.
Im sorry for your losses. No you aren't. Yes... I...am. Have you caught the fuckers that did it? He nods his head no slowly. Then you ain't sorry. I get up and leave and when i pass beth she asks me what happened but i dont say anything. I just go outside and get on my scooter and go home, on the ride home all i can think is,i don't have the money to pay for a proper funeral.
When I get home my wife asks me what the police wanted. i tell her what happened and at first she frowns but then she starts to smile. This is life changing, she says. (no shit, tell me something i don't know.) As if she heard my thoughts she says,Oh don't be such a grouch baby. Your parents dying means we will have money now. So? What good is money? I thought you married me because you loved me. Yeah, i did until i found out how poor you were.
Wait a minute...you mean to tell me that you were using me this whole fucking time?! Duh! You really think someone could love someone that looked like you? okay bitch its time for you to go now. Excuse me?! I SAID LEAVE! she scoffs,Fine im leaving but dont even THINK about coming to see your son when he's born.
