out of the parking lot.
I turn when I see her pull out onto Division Road, towards Main Street. My head is spinning as I walk back to my desk to fill out all the paperwork for the court. I am so intent on my work that I don't notice, Jason walking up to me.
He leans back on my desk and folds his arms across his chest. I lean back in my chair and sigh.
"What?"
"Oh nothing, what's up?" he replies.
"Don't hand me that shit, what do you want." I know he has something to say and I don't want to play this game with him right now.
"Whose the woman?"
"She a case of mine, the abusive ex. I need to go over there and have a talk to him."
"Want me to come along?"
I run my fingers through my hair, "Yeah, you better. I have a feeling I might lose it with this guy."
He nods to me, "Let me know when you want to leave."
I nod and start filling out the rest of my paperwork. I am thankful that Jason knows me so well that he didn't press me about Jaylah. I don't know what it is about this woman, but she has definitely gotten under my skin.
"So where does this asshole live?" Jason asks.
"In New Baltimore, Aspen Creek Apartment on twenty-three mile road." Jason nods as he starts the car. I look over my folder and notice he moved shortly after he put Jaylah in the hospital.
We sit there silently, it's only about a fifteen minute ride to the apartment. I am really hoping that he is home, if not we will have to try his work. When I talked to his boss, he told me it was Ben's day off. I notice Jason glancing at me, and I know what he is thinking.
"Don't."
"Don't what?" he replies, with that shit eating grin.
I want to punch him in the fucking face to wipe it off. It really sucks that he knows me so well. "You know damn well, what! It's not what you think."
"You can keep telling yourself that. Maybe you will actually believe it, but I know you to well."
I sigh, "Damn it." I am thankful that we are pulling into the apartment complex. "He is towards the back." We drive towards the back and I see his car parked in front of his building. "That's his car." I point to it and Jason nods.
We both get out of the car and walk up to the building. Luck was on our side and a woman opens the door to leave. I catch it and thank her. Ben lives on the top floor, the staircase is in front of us. Once we get up there, I look for apartment 203. I see the door and know that his is just down the hall.
I stop in front of his door and try to calm myself. I feel my palms itch, I want to punch this asshole as soon as I see him.
Jason puts his hand on my shoulder, "Calm down. Let me talk first, okay?"
I nod, knowing he is right. I can feel my blood boiling. He knocks on the door, we wait and no response. Jason pounds on the door louder, and we hear a muffled response inside.
The door is jerked open, and a tall man over six foot, disheveled hair, a white t-shirt and boxers on, "What?" he yells. I can tell he is really irrated by the interruption, he was obviously asleep.
"Hello, are you Ben?" Jason asks.
He looks at Jason, then at me and nods, "Yeah."
"I'm Detective Turner and this is Detective Ryan." Jason points to me.
Ben's facial expression turns to a smirk. He leans against the jam of the door and crosses his arms over his chest. "So did my Jaylah send you over here?"
My Jaylah, did that asshole just say "My Jaylah." I can feel my blood boil and I take the two steps to reach him. I grab him by the t-shirt, I pull him towards me and get right in his face. "You leave her the fuck alone, asshole! The restraining order says you need to stay away. If I catch you anywhere near her, I will fucking kill you myself!" I spit into his face. I slam him into the door jam, just has Jason grabs me from behind.
"Hey man," Jason says. He pulls me away from the door and turns to Ben. "Look there is a new complaint sent to the courts, if you are smart you will leave her alone."
He laughs, "Yeah. Well I think I have something to say to the courts about Detective
