hallway. I stood there,
leaning against the wall, fuming as the pain in my foot throbbed. Get a hold
of yourself , my conscience seemed to tell me. Lately, I’d been like a
ticking time bomb and it was only getting worse. How was I going to handle the
stress of an undercover case if I was blowing up left and right? I would give
myself away in no time! I couldn’t let that happen…I had my father depending on
me and that meant more than the world to me.
    My
anger was also causing issues with the people around me – that girl Eva-Marie
to be exact. Since I’d gotten into it with her and Ray at the city club all my
mind could replay was Eva-Marie rushing to gather her bags and get the heck out
of there. I made her cry! What kind of monster was I? It was as if I was losing
control over myself and some evil force was taking over. It had to be stopped
and soon because I was on the quick path to destruction.
     
    “It’s the
chief, man glad you made it!” Timmy exclaimed and opened my door for me as soon
as I parked.
               
“Remember what I said about calling me chief? I’m undercover, remember?” I said
to Timmy as I got out the car. Sometimes he could just forget so much.
               
Timmy rolled his eyes. “I mean the attorney!”
               
“Good enough,” I chuckled. Looking around, I saw Timmy’s girlfriend and her
little group of friends along with Chris and another male in the distance.
“What’s going on?”
               
Timmy placed his arm on my shoulder and pointed at the group of girls. “Over
here we got the ladies. You know my girl Kathryn and then there’s Rita and
Sarah.” He then pointed to Chris and the guy he was speaking with and lowered
his voice. “Now you’re gonna love this, I think this
is the first move into your case, buddy.”
               
My interest heightened and I looked at him questioningly. “Do tell.”
               
“I knew you’d be interested,” Timmy nodded. “That guy Chris is with over there
is Nicholas Brandy. I linked him and Chris together because Chris wanted to
purchase some reefer.”
               
“What does this mean for me?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest as I
watched Nicholas interact with Chris discreetly.
               
“He sells drugs – including Trioxytin. What does that mean for you my
friend? He’s one of the greatest connections you’ll get in your case!” Timmy revealed
excitedly.
               
I, too, grew excited. “Oh Timmy you’ve hit the jackpot!” I patted Timmy firmly
on the back.
               
“Just thought I’d help ya out a bit. Wanna go have a
chat with him?” Timmy asked.
               
I shook my head. “Not just yet.” I watched as Nicholas got back into his car
and was driven away.
               
“We all ready to go?” Chris asked the group on his way back over. “Chief’s
here!” He shouted once he caught sight of me.
               
I blinked and decided to let go of the fact the he, too, had forgotten to stop
calling me ‘chief’. “How’s it goin ’, Chris?” I asked
when he came to stand next to Timmy and I.
               
“Awesome. Just glad we got a day where we could all get together.” He patted me
on the back.
               
“We’re ready when you are ladies,” Timmy called to them. “But what about –”
               
“Well we’ve waited for an hour, I don’t think she’s comin ’.”
Kathryn cut him off, staring at me while she was talking.
               
I broke the awkward eye contact.
               
“Alright then, let’s move out!” Chris shouted.
               
“But first, ladies, we would like to introduce you to our friend, David. I know
none of you ever got the chance to meet him.” Timmy motioned to me.
               
Why did he have to put a
