your mind!?” demanded Mayor Johnson.
“I am so sorry Mayor Johnson, but I have vetted the facts myself. There is strong evidence against your daughter,” the sheriff tried to explain.
“King, we have been friends for over 27 years; mark my words, evidence or not, you’re going to regret this,” Mayor Johnson said as he pounded his hairy fist on the Sheriff’s desk.
“I understand that you are upset; that’s why I wanted you as far away as possible, so that the law could give this case a fair shake. I wouldn’t have let this arrest stick if I didn’t have good reason,” Sheriff King added.
“I don’t care about ethics; on the day of my daughter’s engagement, one of the happiest days of her life, you had the audacity to accuse her of murder. I think that makes no sense, King,” Mayor Johnson shouted vehemently as his blood boiled. “This crusade against my daughter will come to an end,” continued Mr. Johnson.
“You don’t understand. I’ve already got a state prosecutor involved. Even if I wanted to let her go, I no longer have the power to do so,” Sheriff King told the mayor. “It is a slam dunk case, just look at the evidence.” Just then, he pulled out two large brown files and called in Detective Mulling.
Detective Mulling walked into the sheriff’s office with his black short hair, chiseled body, and black suit. “Mayor, this looks really bad,” Mulling said as he inserted himself in the conversation. “Based on the history of the girls, the unexplained vandalism at Jasmine’s residence, which Jasmine accused Kim of doing, and the eye witness who saw Kim entering the room right before the murder, Kim is a solid murder suspect with no alibi. Besides, she already lied to us,” the detective explained, going over the brown files.
Baffled by the evidence, Mayor Johnson paused in silence. “There has got to be some explanation for this. There is no way my daughter did this.” Mayor Johnson was rattled by the claims of the sheriff and detective. “Just no way!”
Chapter 2
Everything was so unreal for Kim. In one moment, she had finally achieved everything she could hope for, and the next, everything had come crashing down around her. Kim had planned and organized the most majestic ball for the governor at the Johnson Resort. The 8,000 square foot ballroom with creamy walls and orange light created a beautiful ambiance. The sitting area held up to 600 guests and seated 10 people per table. The tone for the occasion was elegant and sophisticated. For the event, Kim sported her white lace backless dress tightly strapped to her thin slender body.
In that same night, the love of her life, Sam, had gotten down on one knee and proposed to her. Her eyes dazzled in amusement when she saw the 4 carat diamond ring.
“Yes, of course, I will marry you,” Kim said as she held out her delicate finger for Sam to slip the heavy ring onto. She felt frozen in the moment—the best moment of her life. She was definitely on cloud nine.
.
Fast forwarding to just a few days later, she was stuck in a dirty rundown nasty holding cell. Kim was mentally rattled by her current ordeal. To make matters worse, she was once again in an unwelcomed situation due to Jasmine. Ohhh the irony , Kim thought to herself. She was not prepared for the harsh nature of jail.
She glared at her fingertips stained with black ink, and thought about her once gorgeous, flowing white dress, now ripped and dirty. Kim began to recall her first interaction with the police right after Jasmine’s murder. She was graciously walking as if she was Cinderella at the ball, when Detective Mulling and Detective Thompson apprehended her for questioning.
“Ma’am, can you come with us down to the station?” The detectives calmly asked Kim.
Before leaving, she turned to Sharon and insisted on keeping things under wraps from her dad. He had a lot on his plate. With the responsibility of a governor’s
