things on a bad note by stepping completely out of character. I really want to apologize for that. Could you just call me and let me know that you’re alright. I am starting to worry a bit.” Danni was beyond worried that something terrible had happened to Lamont. It had been three hours since her last voicemail and he had yet to come home or call back.
    “Lamont?” Danni questioned when she heard the door open.
    “Who else?” He asked with some annoyance evident.
    “You couldn’t return any of my phone calls or texts. I was worried sick.”
    “Please save the nagging. It’s been a rough day. What did you want anyway?” He finally asked after looking through a few pieces of mail.
    “So you didn’t check any of your messages?”
    “Goodnight Danielle.” Lamont walked away without a backwards glance. Danni was left stunned out of her mind. Something wasn’t right and she was going to get to the bottom of it. This wasn’t normal. No man was that damn busy. He had something to hide. She was convinced more now than she was before that something was going on.
    “What’s good Danni?” Natalie answered her phone call.
    “I need your help.”
    “Who do I need to whoop?”
    “Your brother-in-law, if I find out he is stepping out on me.”
    “What?!” Nat shouted so loud she had to remove the phone from her ear. “I mean why would you say something like that?” She asked nervously.
    “Let’s just say, woman’s intuition.”
    “A woman’s intuition has been wrong before too. Do you have any idea with who if he was?”
    “Not a damn clue but I am going to find out.”
    “Wait now. Let’s not do anything drastic. What would all of a sudden make you assume he is cheating?”
    “He won’t touch me and I have been receiving emails anonymously hinting things about him. Normally I just ignore them and move on. The very first one I received I saved. It has attachments that I assume is pictures and a video.”
    “Oh no. Are you serious?”
    “Yep. I will get to the bottom of this. You just wait.”
    “Let me help you sis. Why don’t you come over or I can come to you so you won’t be alone?”
    “Girl, I’m good. I just wanted to tell someone of my suspicions just in case I commit a crime and have to go to jail. I have bail money stashed away in my closet.” Danni tried to crack a joke but neither one of them laughed.
    “Don’t do anything rash Danni.”
    “I can’t make any promises. I will talk at you later Nat.” Danni disconnected the call with a new found determination to get something’s done. If her search came up empty and he wasn’t cheating, no one had to know she suspected him of doing so. She could be woman enough to admit she was wrong, if in fact she is wrong. There was only one way to find out. One way was that email that was saved on her computer at work. Danni just prayed she will be able to withstand violence if it is bad.
     

Chapter Three
    After Danielle got it set in her mind what she was going to do next she assumed the duty of cleaning the kitchen. Putting the cold, forgotten dinner away in Tupperware containers and into the fridge. Beejay would appreciate a home cooked lunch versus what they normally eat. It wouldn’t be the first time and Danielle wasn’t sure if it would be the last. Considering her insubordinate mind taking on such sinister thoughts of bodily harm if the outcome of her investigation turned up not in Lamont’s favor, it was only natural to plan her last meal. Her last meal as a free woman that is. That honestly was one of the reasons she took on a profession such as the one she has.
    Anger management issues that ran deep as the blue seas. Being bullied in school made her sensitive in ways that most folks couldn’t attempt to comprehend. Because she was on the healthier side of the track unlike most girls, the boys called her names. After the first few boys she served up in second, third, and fifth grade, no one took it a step further than words.
