During in his memories, at Wes’ old house in Detroit, Michigan, a black ford car had arrived at the driveway then Wes came out from his car and he began to feel suspicious because he saw a car parked on the street, across street from his house. He began to wonder if something was up because his ex-boss named Charles Martin had his car parked across the street.
So on, Wes walked on the driveway to get in his house. He opened the door quietly then he walked to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and he walked down to the living room. All of sudden, he dropped the bottle of water on the carpet with a big splash.
“What the hell are you doing here?!? Get the hell out here!” he shouted.
He felt so angry and upset because Charles was with Wes’ wife. He caught them red-handed because he saw his wife and Charles were kissing each other and began touching each other.
“We’re going to have a talk after I’m done with Charles. I mean why did you do this to me?”
Then he moved his head toward Charles and pointed to him then he said to him “Come outside with me, I want to have a talk with you.”
Then they left to outside and began walking on the driveway. Wes’ wife snuck out to the window and stared at Wes and Charles and she was angry.
On the driveway, Wes and Charles were walking on Wes’ driveway. Charles said, “What’s going on?”
“I’m not here to talk about police business, the reason I want to have a talk to you is because of my wife.”
“Why do we have to talk about this?”
“Come on! Use your goddamn head; don’t you even understand that we’re married? And I didn’t even know that she was having an affair with you! I just found out all about this, just now. I mean I’m very upset with you and Tricia. If you knew that Tricia was having an affair with you, you should have done something to prevent that. But guess what, you let her! That’s why I’m mad at both of you.”
“I’m sorry about this. I had too many feelings about her.”
“Well, we are best friends to each other and we have helped each other pretty well, now I don’t know if I would ever trust you.”
“I’m sorry, so sorry that I let this to happen. And since you’re angry with me, I think it’s better for me to leave now and we can talk about this again some other time.”
“Well I don’t give people 2nd chance because I had a very bad experience about this when I was in my mid twenties. I thought you knew that and you also apologized me but this won’t count as giving you another chance. I never trusted anyone even though they were hiding something from me.”
“I understand what you’re saying and like what I just said, I am leaving now so you can have a talk with Tricia and we’ll talk about this some other time, alright?”
Wes snarled, “Alright.”
Charles walked across the street then got in his car and left. Wes kept staring at Charles while he was leaving then he said, “Jesus Christ, why did this have to happen to me?”
He walked back in the house and said to Tricia “Watching us talking? I want you to tell me why you were kissing Charles.”
“Why do you want to know?”
“Because I want to know and I caught you kissing and touching Charles. What does this supposed to mean?”
“You never came home.”
“What?”
“I was lonely and I needed to be with someone for the night. I just wanted to feel loved.”
“That’s a bull**** excuse. You’re sabotaging your love life including yourself. I thought we had this conversation before that sometimes I can’t make it to home on time, you have to understand that.”
Tricia nodded once and said, “Yeah right, I understand that.” She didn’t care what Wes was trying to tell her.
“You sounded like you don’t care about me, why do you act this way? I cared about you and I tried so much to try to get home just to be with you and sometimes I can’t but you know I love you and always do.”
“Prove it to me.”
Then she turned her head away from Wes quickly and walked back to upstairs. Wes stood in living room, kept staring at Tricia and whispered to himself “What? What did I do?” He began crying lightly and said, “Why did you act this way?”
In Wes and Tricia’s bedroom, Tricia was sitting down on the bed and began crying. She whispered to her “What am I going to do? Why am I thinking this way? Why am I in love with Charles, not Wes? Maybe Charles was trying to steal me away from Wes. Because Wes worked a lot, it’s no wonder why Wes couldn’t get home on time.”
Wes walked upstairs and kept walking toward to the bedroom. He saw the door was left little open then he moved closer to the door and saw Tricia sitting on the bed and was crying. Wes stood there and looking at her.
He whispered to him “You know I always love you and why do you think I would ever leave you?” Tricia suddenly stopped crying and looked at the door.
“Wes, come in please.”
Wes walked in quietly and said, “Yeah? Why were you crying? Please tell me the truth.”
“How did you know that I cried?”
“I saw you were crying. So, can you answer my question?”
“I cried because I just figured that it was a mistake for me to love Charles. He was the one who came to me. I just realized that you were late because of him. I knew it was him who pulled you to stay in late so he could come and see me.”
“How did you realize that?”
“Well, I gave myself few minutes to think and try to figure out what I had done wrong.”
“I have noticed that because while I was working out that late, I have seen Charles leaving the office early so I began to feel suspicious about it and I didn’t know that he was having an affair with you. I just found out all about it today. I mean why would you do that to me? I loved you so much and you are in my strongest heart and you are the one who kept me stay happy because I wanted to make up what I had when I was young that I had a very bad experience during in my teenager years between young adult years.”
“I know that, I’m sorry about what I had done to you today. I will try to have a talk with him, alright?”
“Alright, I forgive you.”
Then they both hugged each other.
Few days later, one morning, Wes was sleeping on his bed and all of sudden he woke up and Tricia was not there. He jumped off from his bed and began searching through the dressers. Everything in the dressers were gone except Wes’ clothes and pants. He got scared and panicked because he had no clue of what was going on and why Tricia left him.
At the counter table, Wes saw legal divorce papers then he said, “Goddamnit! Why did she do this to me! She betrayed me, what was that for?”
Then he walked toward the chair and sat down. He moved his head back then gave a heavy sigh and closed his eyes.
Couple of weeks later, Wes was sitting down and felt depressed. He didn’t feel like going back to work then he looked at his watch.
“Damn it, the President of United States is having his special speech to the police of Detroit.”
He hurried to get showered then got dressed up with semi-formal clothes on. He had blue jeans on, black tux with dark red mixed with purple shirt and a silver tie. Then he ran out of his house and got in his black ford car. He left for a special speech from the President of United States.
At a red light when he arrived at the location of President’s speech, he stopped his car then stared at his rear-mirror and the camera zoomed at the mirror while Wes was staring at the mirror.
The camera zoomed out from the mirror on the ceiling then moved toward Wes’ face while he was lying down on his bed in his cell. Wes said to his cellmate “I am trying to figure out where Tricia had gone to.”
Vincent Lee was Wes’ cellmate; he was part Asian and American. He had black hair with brown eyes. His hair was long but it touched upper back, not on shoulders. He was about 5’ 8” tall and was thin. He also had muscular body.
“Why do you think she left you?”
“I have no clue. That’s what I’m trying to find out. I lied to Gina about my past. Really, I don’t want to talk about this, it was so awful and why did this happen to me again even though I had experienced this way when I was young?”
“That’s alright, I understand what you are feeling but how long have you known Gina?”
“I have known her for little more than 3 years now. Well I should have told her before but I don’t want to say anything now because this situation is getting little too involved with me because of President’s assassination and the corruption between cops.”
“Well, do you and Gina ever have a lot of trust in each other?”
“Yes, we do and I am prepared to tell her everything when I get out of this prison so she can understand more of why I am suffering through this situation.”
“Do you actually know who started all the corruptions?”
“No, I don’t but I thought it was from Charles Martin, my old boss. I killed him 3 years ago because he was the one who plotted out the corruption but I don’t know who started it all and I never knew how those things kept coming to me while I was on vacation.”
“Oh? Very interesting, I kept hearing stories about corruption and I never find out who it was.”
“Well, we have to rest because tomorrow is a big day for me.” Then he turned his body around to left side toward the wall and fell asleep.
The next day, in the library at the prison, Wes was standing by the bookshelf. He was cleaning the floor in the library. When a guard was not in the position to watch Wes, Wes hurried then picked a book off from the shelf and found a gun and some money in the book. He took both then hid those and put the book back on the shelf. Then he continued cleaning the floor.
Couple of hours later, Wes went back to his cell and he took the gun and money out then he hid those in his cell that no guards would ever find. Then later on, at around dinnertime, all prisoners were sent down to eat dinner.
The camera kept moving forward toward the line of prisoners while waiting for their food to be served from the doors. In the line, Wes was standing and kept looking at all prisoners including guards so he could think of a plan.
Finally, Wes picked up his food and began to walk around to find a table to sit. While he was walking, he felt so suspicious and he kept moving his eyes left and right while he was walking. He found a table to sit and he sat down. He began to eat his dinner. He had meatloaf with mashed potatoes and some vegetables.
While he was eating, two tough prisoners came in with anger. The two prisoner’s names were Frank Lehman and Terry Fleming. They came toward the back of Wes with a surprise. They tried to scare Wes but they failed. Wes acted so calm when they showed up behind his back then he stood up and confronted them.
“What do you want?”
Terry said, “I’m placing you on under guard so we can watch your ass for the whole time.”
“Placing me in under guard? What did I do wrong?”
“Something that you did at the library.”
“Something that I did in the library? What are you talking about? I was assigned to clean the library’s floor, so what is wrong with that?”
“No, it’s not about cleaning; it’s something else, a special gift for Edward.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“You know better than that, you know Edward kept his things under guard and he keeps checking his things over, he is not that stupid. When someone was done cleaning the library’s floor, he just kept checking over things after the prisoner leave. So, we figured it was you who took some things from the library.”
“Oh? You knew it? Ahh...I get it, but I know you’re dumb. Alright, take me wherever you want.”
Then he put his hands up above his stomach so Terry and Frank can put handcuff on his wrists. Terry and Frank walked along with Wes, they were holding on Wes’ arms tightly. They went to the laundry room in the basement.
