his wife came into her shop.
“Wow!” It was the first
thing the officer said while slowly walking toward the car, tipping the front
of his hat up to get a better look. “Hey, Jaslyn, are you all right?”
“Yeah, I’m fine, just
wasn’t expecting this shit.” She walked around the car with the officer. They
both grimaced when they got close to it.
“Doug, take pictures of
the car while I get a report.” But before she could walk into her house, she
heard the screeching of tires coming to a halt. She saw Delia and Renzo coming
out of Delia’s car and the stunned expressions when they got a good look at her
car. The look on their faces said just enough for her to know how shocked they
were.
“Holy shit!” exclaimed
Delia. Renzo came up to her, scanning her body as if to see if maybe something
else was wrong.
“I’m fine before you
say anything. My car is the issue for now.”
“Can I ask you a
question? Is my ex-wife still in jail?” Renzo asked an officer.
“Actually no, she got
out late last night on bail. Do you think she did this?”
“Yes, I do. She and I
had words before Mr. Cipriano’s fiasco at his restaurant. Let’s all go inside,”
Jaslyn suggested. Once inside, Jaslyn, Renzo, and the cop sat on the couch
while Delia sat on the loveseat.
“What do you mean she
had words with you?”
“I was coming out of my
shop yesterday, when she bumped me into the wall. She thinks Renzo and I are
together as a couple and she told me to stay away from him. I told her I knew
what she was up to and didn’t appreciate her playing childish games. I also
told her if she got in my face again, that I would call the cops. This was our
second encounter by the way. She came into my shop pretending to look around,
but I know she was scoping me out.”
All the cop could do
was stand there shaking his head as he got on the
radio. Renzo was holding her hand. She looked at him with a small smile and
nodded when the officer said, “I’ve got an officer going to her house to bring
her in for questioning. I’ve never seen anything as crazy as this, and I’ve
been on the force for too many years. Do you know what you need to do to get
your car straightened out, Jaslyn?”
“Well, I already took some pictures of the car
for my insurance company. Lord, knows I’ve been out of it. I completely forgot
I need to call them up.
Renzo said, “I’m going
to have everything taken care of before the day is through. So that will not be
a problem. I’ll have some guys come over to clean up the mess and we’ll get it
towed.”
“Let me know where you
will tow it because we need to take more pictures of the car. I’m sorry this
happened to you, Jaslyn, I really am. We’ll get in contact with you.”
“Thank you.”
He walked out of the
room leaving Jaslyn aggravated to the point where she could almost spit. “All I
know is that if I see that bitch out on the street I will jump her right then
and there.” Jaslyn got up and went into the kitchen to try to calm down and get
something to drink.
Delia and Renzo could
only stare at her while she continued talking over and over about what had
happened. “Now you know you don’t plan on hurting Melanie, you’re just
frustrated and angry right now. Why don’t you come and sit down or we can go to
the shop,” Delia suggested.
“I don’t think I should
be going into work…at least not today.”
“Well you can’t hang
around here all day looking out at that car and staying mad as hell,” Delia
reminded her.
“Come on, let’s take you to the shop, Delia. Jaslyn, I know a
place where you can go that’s peaceful.” Renzo got up, took her once again by
the hand, and grabbed her purse as they all left her home.
When they got back into
town, Delia opened the shop. Whereas Renzo and Jaslyn went to his car and he
helped her in. She was annoyed by the turn of events. Never had she been so mad
in her life. It brought back sad memories of when her and her ex
