“Yeah, see, that’s why we need to have this guy put away before he kills someone else.”
“So what can I do, Drew? Tell me.” She said eagerly, placing the unlit cigarette to her lips before lighting it.
“You remember when you said that you were good at doing voice impersonations, right?” Drew asked.
Carmen became excited as she laughed. “Of course! I’m actually taking up acting lessons” she said as she cleared her throat to impersonate a voice. “Check this out, ‘ Happy Birthday, Mr. Presiden t.’ Can you guess whose voice that is?”
Drew laughed a little. “Marilyn Monroe?”
Carmen clapped her hands. “Good job! You’ve got that one! Yes, I can impersonate almost any one.”
“Ummm that’s why I need to talk to you, Carmen. I need you to do a voice impersonation and record it on this tape recorder here.” Drew said as he placed the tape recorder on the table.
Carmen seemed confused. “Ummm okay. Who do I have to impersonate?”
Drew then took his cellular phone and pulled up a youtube video of Amanda Stone. Amanda had a lot of YouTube videos uploaded before she was killed. It appeared that she was some makeup guru who enjoyed giving tutorials.
Drew played one of the videos so that Carmen could hear her voice. “I need you to do her voice impersonation for me and record it here on this tape.”
Carmen looked at Drew as if he were crazy. “I can do her voice. She has a New York accent. That’s easy. What would I have to say?” she asked.
The manager was sweeping around the door, a few customers were beginning to leave the bar.
Drew paused before replying. “I just need you to pretend to be Amanda’s voice. Pretend that you are leaving a voicemail message on his phone and asking him to not be mad at you from earlier. Make it seem as if Amanda left a voicemail to make up with Ben. Say that she forgave him for beating up on her earlier.”
Carmen was quiet. “I’m not sure about this, Drew.”
Drew looked around and then placed a one hundred dollar bill on the table. Carmen wasted no time in collecting the money.
“So should I sound threatened?” she asked.
Drew gave her a wicked grin. “Make it seem like he’s a monster and that she’s tired of him threatening her. That should be enough to have him arrested.”
Chapter 16
There was still no sign of Ben, even after a week. Simona called the army base, but she was told that they were prohibited from giving out personal information on a soldier’s whereabouts. She had explained to them that she was his fiancé’ but a fiancé wasn’t as good enough.
Simona had invited Kristen over for some tea late one evening. The two friends sat on the couch in front of the coffee table with legs crossed. Kristen held the china saucer up to her chin as she lifted the cup up to her lips. It was green tea, simply because it was healthy for Simona to drink.
“So are you prepared to tell him? I think he’ll be excited. Not to mention, it may be for a good cause. Perhaps he won’t work so much.” Kristen winked her green eyes.
“Not totally true. You know how strict the military is. They won’t give a damn if we are expecting a baby. They’ll still overwork him. I thought things would change after our engagement, but yet he still disappears on and off. It hurts me to feel neglected. Of course, I can’t argue with him because he’s so nice and generous when he’s here.”
Simona placed her hand over her chest as she referred to herself. “If I confront him and complain then I’ll seem like the bad guy instead of him.” She then sipped the tea, allowing it to savor on her taste buds. Some of the tea spilled on her white satin blouse. She wiped it with a nearby napkin after letting out a curse.
“You are a nervous wreck. Take a deep breath. This is just something that you and Ben have to sort out together. It has nothing to do with him working, but more of him alerting you so
