Chapter Eight (Page Four)

“You know? You should always help other people, when they need help, if you are able to protect them. I mean, it isn’t like that Sam guy knows where you live. I am sure it won’t put you in a disadvantage position, helping her this way.” Muhammad said

“You know? Her jack ass boyfriend doesn’t know where you and Fatima live either, maybe we should shove Hailey to you guys’ place.” Chan said

“Ok, we’ll take her.” Fatima said then she turned to her husband “You alright about it?” Fatima asked Muhammad

“Of course, let Hailey stay at our place.” Muhammad said

“Ok, I will. You know that I am serious, right?” Chan said

“I know, its Ok, we will take her.” Muhammad said

“Ok, thanks.” Chan said

“I’ll pick Hailey up from the hospital tomorrow, where is that hospital anyway?” Fatima asked

“I’ll give you the address.” Chan said

“Aren’t you going there to meet Emma at the hospital tomorrow?” Muhammad asked

“Yap” Chan said

“Then maybe you should just take Fatima there with you. I mean, you guys would be seen each other again tomorrow, right?” Muhammad said

“Yeah, that would work, after work?” Chan said

“Alright, after work” Fatima replied.

“Hey, when Hailey is staying at your place, do me a favor would you?” Chan asked

“Sure, what it is?” Fatima asks

“Try to shrink Hailey, whatever she is fucked up in the head about that cause her to stay with that jack ass guy.” Chan said

"Yeah, sure, I’ll give it a shot. I mean, I am a shrink, right?” Fatima said
~During the exact same time at the Gold Coast

Jeff was sitting in his office, of his trucking company. It was half past four in the afternoon. Jeff’s conversation with Jeffery the other day has gotten him thinking. Slowly, he opened up his draw, to look at the evidence that prove Rita is otherwise to what he believes in. The evidence was within an envelope.

Jeff’s sighed, he found it difficult to open the envelope and look at the material inside. He doesn’t want to see it, he doesn’t want to know that everything he believe about Rita is false, he doesn’t want to see the truth that Rita isn’t the weak, helpless and innocent victim that he thought she is, he doesn’t want to know that he is once again in a relationship where he is not the masculine male capable of protecting his woman, who is a weak, helpless and innocent victim that needs his protection, he has been desiring for a relationship of this sort for so long that the truth that is completely otherwise, is just too difficult for him to chew. He doesn’t want to know that he is once again in a relationship where, he is the one who is the real weak, helpless and innocent victim.

“WHY!!!” Jeff yelled. He felt like smashing something, into little piece, he stood up, ran to the wall and hit the wall with his fist eight time, until he finally burst into tears, he turned around, collapse to the ground and just sit there crying.

Outside the office, Jeff’s son Mike, who works as the accountant here, heard his father’s voice. Mike wanted to go inside to check on his father, but he was been stopped by Tom. Tom was working undercover within Jeff’s company, as a person working on the loading dock, so he could keep an eye on Jeff.

“Don’t do it. This is a good sign. It means he is starting to accept the truth.” Tom said

Mike looked at Tom

“If my theory is correct, then accepting the truth is a difficult thing for Jeff to do, under the circumstances. This is the first sign he is starting to accept the truth. It is a good sign. Let him cry for a while.” Tom said

“What if you go talk to him instead?” Mike said

“I don’t think that is a good idea. It would have a counter effect. He won’t listen to me. I am black. At worst case scenario, he might rebel against everything I said, with no consideration towards what it is, simply because I am black.” Tom said

“Why?” Mike asked

“Well, he might think he should do everything oppose to what I say, because he might believe that everything, I say must be wrong, because I am black.” Tom said

“You won’t have this sort of problem, when you were in the army?” Mike asked

“Are you kidding me? The army listen to the chain of command only, what my men think about black people is irrelevant. They disobey an order, they get court martial.” Tom said

Mike nodded and walked away from the stairs that goes to Jeff’s office on the second floor and moved back towards his desk, at the back of the loading dock to work on the truck drivers’ roaster and pay roll for next week.

Inside his office, Jeff was still crying “Why” Jeff whispered to himself. He sighed, Jeff had desire for a relationship where he is a masculine male that is capable of protecting his woman, who is a weak, helpless and innocent victim for so long and he doesn’t want to know that he is the real weak, helpless and innocent victim so much that the truth was been difficult for him to accept. But now after this major cry, Jeff is finally more psychologically prepared to accept the truth. Jeff still doesn’t want to accept the truth, but at least now he is more ready to handle it and is more ready to accept it, despite the fact he doesn’t want to.

Jeff looked at the evidence within the envelope, phone conversation Rita had with her family in China indicating that she is playing Jeff as a fool and how her family is against it, Rita’s divorce paper with her husband, photos of Rita is still in a steaming hot relationship with her husband that she divorced and the photo of them still having sex in the motel every weekend that is when Rita says she goes to her cooking class, in making British cakes and teas, how Rita makes fun of Jeff behind his back and Rita’s racist statement towards white people.
