Norma was planning on making a pot roast for dinner but she needed some carrots and potatoes so she stopped at the grocery store after she left the diner. She parked her car and made her way into the store. She was at the produce section grabbing some stuff she needed, putting it into her basket.
"So we're meeting again? How lovely!" a woman's voice came from beside her. Norma looked up from the vegetables to meet eyes with her.
Norma rolled her eyes when she saw that it was Rebecca standing next to her. "Just lovely." Norma said sarcastically and gave her a fake smile. It took everything in her not to grab this woman by the hair and start tackling her to the ground. She shook her head and started to walk the opposite direction.
"It was so nice to see you again, tell Alex I said hi!" Rebecca screamed loudly to her as she walked away. "Or I'll just tell him tomorrow, when he stops by the bank."
Norma stopped dead in her tracks. She turned around and started heading back toward the red headed woman standing there with her arm on her hip, waiting for Norma to go off on her. Norma charged up to her getting in her face. "Listen, I don't think you know who your messing with. What's it going to take for you to leave us alone and shut your big fat mouth?" She couldn't help it. She wasn't going to take this woman's taunting her any longer.
"Did I say something wrong?" Rebecca asked with a wide eyed innocent look on her face.
Norma was growing furious now. Some of the people surrounding the two were now pretending not to be staring at them. Norma stepped away from Rebecca and straightened her figure. "I'm done with you. Leave me and my soon-to-be HUSBAND alone. Or you'll be in for a rude awakening." She turned around and headed toward the other end of the store.
Norma stormed her way through out the rest of the isles, grabbing what she needed and throwing the items into her basket. She wanted to just get out of this damn store and get the hell away from that bitch! She paid for her stuff and headed through the parking lot to her car. Opening up the door to the backseat she threw the few bags inside. As she went to reach to open her car door she happen to look down to see her front driver's side tire that was flat. "You've got to be kidding me!" Taking a few steps back she looked to the back tire, which was also flat. Starting to dig into her purse to grab her phone she made her way around to the other side to find all her tires were flat! She sighed as she leaned back against her car while dialing the station.
"Can I speak to Sheriff Romero please?" She awaits for him to pick up the phone. She waited about 2 minutes but it seemed like forever.
"Norma? Is everything okay?" He finally answers.
"I came out from the grocery store and find my tires are ALL flat! I think it was that woman! Rebecca! She was here and wouldn't leave me alone." She blurts out frantically.
"I'll be right there. Just stay put until I get there." He told her hanging up the phone in a hurry.
Alex drove as fast as he could over to the store. He pulled into the lot scanning for where Norma was parked. He spotted her and headed her way. He hopped out of his truck and ran over to her.
"Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Is she still here?"
"I don't know! No, she didn't touch me. But she was antagonizing me Alex she wanted to piss me off!" She looked like she was ready to cry. She leaned into his chest as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her into him. "I'm sorry this is all my fault." He told her.
She buried herself into him.
"You have to tell me what she said to you."
"Nothing of any importance, just that it was lovely to see me and to tell you that she said hi or wait nevermind, she would tell you herself when you stopped into the bank...tomorrow." Alex could hear the hurt in her voice.
"Well, we don't know for sure that she did this. But I'm going to find out. I'm just glad your safe." He spoke softly in attempt to calm her down.
"What about my car?"
"I'll take care of it. Let me take you home. I'll have your car picked up and looked over for any fingerprints or anything. Don't worry, we will find out who did this."
Alex grabbed Norma's bags from her car and transferred them to his SUV. He opened the door for her and she got inside. He took a step back to look at the tires. He had to have a few words with Rebecca.
