glared at his erection with disgust and rolled
her eyes. “Just go, Black.”
    “Go? We need to talk about this.”
    “Talk? We were doing a little more than
talking.”
    “I don’t understand you.”
    “Clearly.”
    Black threw his hands in the air bringing them down
hard on his legs in frustration. “Here you go.”
    Teresa’s mood switched to full blown anger. She
didn’t want to argue and she didn’t want to explain herself. Black
was making that harder and harder with each statement he made.
    “Come on, Black. Just go.”
    Black stood to his feet and shook his head in
disappointment. “Don’t you see I love you?”
    “Keep it real, Black. You don’t know how to love me…
never did. I was raped. I need comforting…not sexing.”
    He dropped his head, balled his fists in anger, and
stormed from her living room leaving her apartment in a heated
rage. James stood in the hall smiling. Stealing glimpses of Teresa
balled up on the couch crying he wanted to go to her and comfort
her. He turned, went back to her bedroom, and climbed out of her
window. Running across the parking lot with her robe blowing in the
wind he climbed into his car and peeled away from the building.
     
     
     

Chapter Five
    Black stepped into the precinct where Teresa worked.
He was still upset about what had occurred the night before and was
looking to take it out on someone. Today James would fill that slot
perfectly. Posted against the wall in the back of the room he
surveyed the floor looking for the officer. The setting was not
unfamiliar to him. All police stations were the same in nature. He
imagined that if he were in a police station in Belgium it would be
pretty much the same. Cops and robbers, that’s what his father
called it. He was proud of Black and his accomplishments but he
thought it was a waste of time and money. A system that was
designed to never succeed, Black felt he could do more to help.
Maybe his father was right. He shook the thought from his mind and
zeroed in on James across the room. The unsuspecting man hadn’t
even noticed him. Black made his way towards him but was cut off
before he reached his desk.
    “Can I help you?” the blonde haired, tanned
detective asked placing his hand on Black’s shoulder.
    His eyes were still trained on James as he exited
the building. Now annoyed, Black turned and faced the officer that
had interrupted his mission. He put Black in the mind of Val
Kilmer. Not the Top Gun Val Kilmer, not even the Tombstone Val
Kilmer. The overweight, straight to video, B List actor Val Kilmer.
The look-alike stood face to face with Black. Black looked over at
the man’s hand on his shoulder. The officer got the point and
promptly removed his hand.
    “Yes, I’m looking for the detectives in charge of
the Prince case,” Black stated.
    “And you would be?”
    Black flashed his badge. “A.D.A. Love. Can you get
the detectives that I’m asking for please?”
    The detective cleared his throat and walked around
Black towards his desk. “I’m Detective Waeltz. I’m in charge of the
Prince case. I sent the files over to the D.A. already.”
    “I read them. A little thin don’t you think?”
    “What do you want me to say? I sent what she gave
me.”
    “What I want you to do is do your job and do it
efficiently.”
    “All I can tell you is what I put in the report. Ms.
Prince claims that she was sexually assaulted. She doesn’t give us
a who or a where. A call was placed that a half-naked woman who
looked beat up was lying in the street. When the responding officer
found her she had no memory of how she had gotten there or how long
she was there.”
    “She claims she was assaulted?” Black asked,
forehead wrinkled.
    “Right now it’s just a statement.”
    “So you’re calling Ms. Prince a liar?”
    “I’m not making any judgment calls at all. Only
going with what’s in front of me. Officially I can’t say anything.
Un-officially sounds like a case of date rape.”
    “What
