“I don’t know!”

“So she just attacked for you no reason?”

“Yes—–what the hell how many times do I have to keep repeating myself!”

The officers looked at one another.

“Okay Ms. Mason thank you for speaking to us will be in touch.”

Leaving Cleas hospital room the officers spoke amongst themselves about the information there were able to gather for this case.

“She’s hiding something.”

“Yes she is I mean Williams was an officer in the Army, experienced in combat, and a POW survivor.”

“Okay so what’s your point?”

“My point is there was nobody else there but them if Williams wanted to she could have killed her.

“Okay—-and?”

“But she didn’t to me it seems she inflicted the right amount of pain to prove a point and when she sensed Ms. Mason had enough she stopped herself from continuing on. What was so important about her right her hand and not the left or the rest of her body for that matter? It’s like she had self-control the entire time the attack was happening.”

The other officers looked at him as the more he talked the more sense it was beginning to make.

“And—-she called the cops on herself. She didn’t run, we didn’t have to hunt her down or chase her, she sat and waited for us to arrive. She was compliant the entire time……I wish more criminals were just like her it sure as hell made our job much easier!”

“Your right you maybe on to something so what now?”

“We have to find the missing link to this equation.”

“And what would that be?”

“Ms. Alice Piekski.”

When Helena arrived back at the Planet she filled Kit in on the latest information about Alice moving out of the home she shared with Clea. Kit can’t believe what she had just heard. She didn’t have enough time to process everything because she had somewhere important to be in an hour. She had a booty call lined up and she didn’t want to show up at the hotel late——like last time.

Driving to the hotel Kit couldn’t help but think about Alice. She was worried about her friend and the more she worried the less freaky she felt. “Damn, “she says to herself. “I been waiting all week to get my back cracked in half and all of this mess has to happen now!”
