Mystery: Missing Rita: (Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Suspense Thriller Mystery) by James Kipling Page B

dreamily. She then looked at the naked girls whose gazes were fixed on Lohan and they sat doing nothing.
    “Well,” Gina started but was interrupted by Lohan who was shaking with rage.
    “Is this the new man you are having an affair with?” he asked and pointed at the man who had not said a word all along but went on staring at Lohan.
    “No, he is not.”
    “Then what the hell is he doing here and why are there naked girls on my bedroom floor”
    “Well, if you would stop asking so many questions so dramatically, I would give you the answers you want.”
    Lohan tried to keep his calm and went on to stare at the scene in front of him. He was disturbed by Gina’s stillness and could only imagine the kind of explanation she was about to give him.
    “This here is a good friend of mine but at the moment I will not let you know his name.”
    “Why the hell not?” Lohan barked at Gina.
    “Because honey, you are a police officer.”
    Lohan ran his hand through his hair and again tried to remain calm. He fed Gina an expectant look and tried to keep his patience in check.
    “As I was saying, honey, before you interrupted me,” Gina went on, “this man here is, for now let’s call him Mr. X.”
    She paused and waited for Lohan to react and ask a question but went on when he didn’t.
    “Mr. X and I have been good friends for a while now and I explained to him how bored I have been,” Gina said. “He decided to help me out and offer me some sort of entertainment.”
    Lohan soaked in the words and tried to make sense of it. Gina had now gone to a whole other level of insanity. He went on to look at both of them and at the naked girls who were still on the floor. They smiled up at him and gave him a slight wave and one of them winked at him.
    “So you two are not…” Lohan probed on. “You know?”
    “Dating?” Gina asked shocked. “No honey, we are not.”
    “This is interesting,” Lohan said and paced around the room a few times before looking up at Gina. “So how long has this been going on?”
    “Why don’t you ask that P.I. you sent my way?” Gina answered and Lohan was a bit taken back by her comment. “Come on, honey, did you think I wouldn't know about him? I am the queen of schemers.”
    Lohan could not really decide whether to own up to what Gina had just accused him of or to completely deny it.
    “Just answer me, Gina, how long has this been going on?”
    “About five months now.”
    “Couldn’t you get a different venue for this?” he asked before looking at the two girls who kept on smiling at him without blinking. “You know I am a police officer and cannot entertain such behavior in my home.”
    “Maybe that was the whole point.”
    “Excuse me?” Lohan asked, confused.
    “Come on honey think about it,” Gina said and cautiously got to her feet. She started walking towards Lohan with calculated steps and a Cheshire smile spread across her face. “I wouldn’t want you to turn me in if you ever found out it would incriminate you in any way.”
    “That is very sneaky of you, Gina.”
    “Don’t I know it?” she answered and went on to walk towards him. “The way I see it, you have got two choices here.”
    “Which are?”
    “You either walk out and head over to your second home which is the strip club and search for solace in the thighs of your regular stripper, Ginger…” Gina said and paused slightly for dramatic effect and walked over to a table right behind Lohan. She poured him some wine and turned her attention to him. “…Or you can choose to indulge.”
    Lohan looked at Gina in disbelief for the hundredth time that day before looking again at the scene before him. He looked at the man who was still perched in his seat and had not said a single word the entire time.
    “You know what, Gina?” he said and took a few steps back. “I am glad you have found something that entertains you. You know where to find me if you need me!”
    He started walking out of the room
