The Call Girl - Season 1 - Episode 46

”I watched the news, there is no way the Mayor would have endorsed you Jimmy, what did you do, how did you do it?” She was curious

He laughed ”In this game, you have got to be smart, really smart to win. You should learn from me Christine, and i must warn you, never ever threaten me again else i would ensure you don’t wake up to another day. You were scared of Kennedy, i am worse”
”Look i was upset, i was in a corner and besides, i was the one who even made sure you are getting a clean win, if i didn’t ask that you be rid of Alexandra, Jaime would have still being in play, but he is out of the way, because of me, so i deserve a little credit and besides you lied to me, if i had known you had all this planned out, i maybe wouldn’t have helped.”

”Greed Christine, that is what blinded you, but with or without that, i would have succeeded, i have been planning a long time, you did nothing, so don’t be stupid”
”So what would i get from all this?”
”A seat at the board of directors, level A ofcourse, a nice view from your office, a pay check larger than what you can have and your mouth shut”

She suns a hand through her hair ”You make Mayor, i want adviser”
”No”

”Why the hell now Jimmy, are you gonna toss me away?”
‘He laughs ”Don’t be greedy, i would think about it. By the way, have you heard from Pretty boy?”

”No, now his number doesn’t connect anymore. Being going to see the Wellingtons, no word from him. The police haven’t been able to get anything, Adam wouldn’t answer my call. Its like he just disappeared..with her” She sq££zes her fist
”Jealous much?”
”What if he falls for her?”
”Not my business, i don’t care but if he does it would be short lived, she is a loose cannon, so she can’t stay among the living plus, i believe she hasn’t told anyone i locked her in, if not why haven’t i be confronted?. Plus, no forensics report to tie me to this case, and then Kennedy would be ridden off, i have nothing tying me to anything. I make President tomorrow, Mayor in two weeks and i would be king’ He laughs
”What if Jaime shows up?”
”He wouldn’t. if he did, he would be signing his death warrant”
She gasp ”You would kill your own brother?”

”He is not my brother, do not ruin my day Christine., See you tomorrow and you should advice your mother to vote for me, else she would be among the weed i would root out with no mercy”
The line dies.

She sighs remembering their conversation. Checking the time, waiting fro news from Jimmy.

She takes a seat, it doesn’t matter anyways, Jimmy, would do what he has to do. She just needs to focus for tomorrow.
She may not get Jaime, but atleast she would be glad when Alexandra is gone for real. That would please her immensely.
She smiles, Maybe she should pitch her net on Jimmy, if she s£duces him and gets in his good book,s she wouldn’t lose out entirely would she.

Even though he isn’t as sexily handsome as Jaime, he would have power, and that is what she wants, that power and the wealth that comes with it, plus he isn’t a bad lay.
They say, if one door closes, another one opens.

She gets up and then stares at the mirror ”How would i look like being the Wife of Jimmy,? Not bad eh? Not bad at all” she began to laugh into the mirror.

*

Alexandra meets Tinny-B coming out of the shower. She goes on and lays on the bed.
”What’s up? Is Adam back, what was that about?”

Alexandra seats up ”No, he isn’t. Tinny-B, can you help me sneak out of this house tomorrow?”

”You scary, this place is like a fortress , you think you can sneak out without big bad wolf finding out?

Alexandra smiles ”He isn’t a big bad wolf”
Tinny-B frowns, pointing at her ”Hey hey hey, what is that look?”

”What look?”
”That look?” she points at her face
Alexandra is staring curiously ”What look?”
Tinny-B pulls at her cheeks, Alexandra hits her hands away ”Stop, what?”
”That look, like something just happened look”

”No look” she made to get up, Tinny-B pulls her back
”What did you do in there, what happened? Because i heard your voices, then i heard nothing. What happened in there?”
”Stop prying, can you sneak me out tomorrow?”

”I already told you i have a client, so yes, you wanted to play dress up, i said okay, but where do you intend to go to tomorrow, home, work?”
”Nope, just get ready. ”
”Okay”

Alexandra gets up and then walks to the other side of the room, staring out of the window. Her hand unconsciously found their way to her lips, she closes her eyes for a brief second, remembering his kiss.
Really, was this what being really properly kissed felt like?

She felt strange, really strange.
*
”Find Adam” Jaime says coming downstairs and speaking to three men who was waiting for him. ”He isn’t picking my calls and i know him, he may do something he shouldn’t. Find him, bring him home”
”Yes Sir”

He turns away
”Sir, the primaries, you know its happening tommorow?”
”Yes”
”You gonna let it?”
”Do what i ask. There is nothing that concerns me there”
”Yes?”
”What?”
”We haven’t been able to find Miss bekington’s attacker, trail went cold. No one is looking into it”
”That’s because i am the prime suspect. Get more eyes, comb the city, and also..tell the guys to not let me parents leave their sight..i want nothing to happen to them”
”Yessir”
As they leave, he dials Adam’s number again.

*
Adam switches off his phone as he is ushered into the office.
”Adam, what do i owe this visit?” Jimmy turns to face him, a smile on his face.
The door shuts behind him. Adam takes a few steps to him ”Why did you kill him?”

”Who?”
”Why did you kill him?”
”Tsk tsk tsk, that is a strong accusation”
”Oh yeah?” Jimmy opens his jacket and then drops the documents on the table ”Looks a familiar?”
Jimmy picks up the files and the stares at them, he drops them ”You have been busy Adam…or should i say, Steve was..”

”I am taking this to the authorities”
”You should”
”You aren’t scared?” Adam raises an eyebrow, perplexed.
”They mean nothing, know why? o can prove they are altered document. How did you get the reports, lab got burned, where did you get the other information?”

Adam stares at him ”Does it matter?’
”Dead guy. fine. i could also say he was a a rogue cop, trying to blackmail me, in one hour i can come up with something so bad, they would put his entire generation in jail,. his wife, her parent.s his..”

”You do not deny this?”
”You are a smart man Adam. I do not need to”

”This are children Jimmy, what heartless human you are, this have been going on for years, you intended to destroy this city. ”
Jimmy laughs ”’Adam Adam Adam, we live in a world were we do anything to survive”
”This is genocide!!!!” Adam exclaims

”Ah, necessary evil”
”I am taking this to the Mayor, Jaime, and the authorities, the media. You would be done for, ruined, finished!!!”

”Like is said, you should, this hold no water, before you reach that door, i have everyone on my side, i know how to tell a mean sob story Adam. So i would advice you to shut the fxxk up”

”You are not scared are you? You think you are unstoppable? You killed a man and let his wife a widow?”
”I did nothing, Adam. But you can leave now. And tell my brother, i hope he likes his hideout”
”You almost killed the Mayor, you almost had Jaime Killed, you also rammed into the tree with your step mother while he was pregnant causing the death of her child. Now, you are committing genocide, and all this heinous crime, what for, for wealth?”
”Adam, what i do to get ahead of life is none of your business, I would do more. The reason why i am allowing you speak with me right now is because….harming you right now would only raise suspicion, so i would let you..but tell Jaime, he should be a good dog and remain low, after three weeks, we can have a talk, when i become everything he would never be..” he laughs ”He knows if he as much as rear his head, all that he loves and holds dear would be no more. he understands all this, so he would never do anything stupid, you on the other hand do not, and you would be the death of him and his family if you don’t crawl back to being a little doggy hmm.” He winks
Adam shakes his head, folding his fist ”The only reason you stand tall is because Jaime isn’t standing up to you, right?”
”Pretty boy knows his duties, and i fear no one”

”You should, you really should”
”Who?” Jimmy laughs ”Jaime? The Mayor? By tomorrow, they would be scared of me, in two weeks, they would be nothing more than just a name on paper. Go back to your hole Adam, but maybe you can drop an address though, i miss my brother, i should give him a hug from his parents, so lonely that boy, always have been. Sad one…” he laughs again

”Sure, i would give him your message ”Adam turns away smiling rubbing his lips”Sure, but i just needed to come here to give you this?”
”Oh the documents? Thanks, my shredding machine haven had a meal”
”No, this”

Adam lets his hand go, making contact with Jimmy’s jaw. As soon as he hits the floor, the door bursts open and two hefty men rushes him, dragging Adam and slams him to the wall and placing a gun to his head.
Jimmy staggers up, wiping the blood off his lips, he laughs wickedly, angrily, folding his fist ”Today, you live Adam, just for today, but i promise you, when tomorrow ends, you would end with it.” He threatens ” Let him go” He tells his men.

”Boss?”
”Let him go, for today”
They do, Adam smiles adjusting himself ”I would wait for tomorrow then, and i promise you Jimmy, if Jaime wouldn’t stop you, i will. You think you have the upper hand? Pride goes before a fall.” He turns and walks away slamming the door shut.

”Why are we letting him go boss’?”
”if i hurt him, or if he goes missing, Jaime would come out. I need Jaime tucked away in his cocoon till after all this, i must win tomorrow, no matter what. After then, i would comb the city till i have his head on a spike. Jaime too”

His phone rings, he speaks it up ”Kennedy, where are you?”

”I am at the place, where the hell are you?”
Jimmy look up and then nods ”Be there in five”
The men nod, and then they leave

*

Jimmy saw the car drive in.
He had come early to comb the area to ensure Jimmy wasn’t about to set him up. It was lonely, and abandoned, he came prepared for fowl play.
He makes his way downstairs, passing through unfinished rooms from the uncompleted building.
Jimmy alights from the car, as soon a she sighs him.

”What the fxxk happened to your mouth?”
”An angry client ”
”So what do you have for me?”
”Oh nothing really, just that i really want to tie up loose end, and you are a ticking time bomb” he shoves his hands from his pocket.
Another car drives in and the two men alight from the car behind him, Kennedy takes a step back, his hand goes to the back of his jacket.

”Jimmy,…why are they here?”
”Precaution mostly. You see, tomorrow is a big day for me, i would be pitching for primaries tomorrow at the Heritage group and i don’t need surprises..so. It’s a big win for me, that i know so, i can’t have loose ends running around, going around threatening people and making me feel like he got a upper hand. That glory is for me alone Kennedy and like God, i do not like to share so…”

”So what?”
Jimmy nods to them ”So goodbye Kennedy” Jimmy says entering his car ”Make sure no one finds his body” he says driving away.

The two men bring out their guns, Kennedy brings out his ”Jimmy, you fxxking a-----e Jimmy!!!”

Jimmy laughs ”Don’t worry, that b---h you like, Alexandra, i would send her to you..you both can fxxk in the spirit world. Never mess with a man you don’t see his entire hand” He drives away.

”Jimmy!!!!!!”
He kept laughing, he heard the first gun shoot ring out, and then multiple follow afterwards.
He kept driving, and even began whistling.

*

Kennedy lays on the floor, blood seeping out from his body, making a tiny map on the sand.
One of the men la!d on the floor, bleeding from his neck, the other one got a bullet to shoulders.

He staggers to the his partner, and begin to pull him away. His phone rings
”Is it done?”
”Yes boss,” the man coughs ”D--k got hit in the neck, bleeding out, i got one in the shoulder, but i would live, i need to get him to the hospital”

”And the fool?”
”Got multiple hits, he is dead”
”Burn the body”
”Let me get D--k help first, he would live if i get him help first”
”Find, toss the body somewhere, lay low, I would get team two to be at the primaries tomorrow. There is a bag of bills in the boot of your car, use that. Get a holiday, i am in a happy mood today, haha”
”Okay boss”
The line cuts, he turns around when he heard something behind him. Kennedy was standing there, a smile on his face, the bullet proof vest on the floor and bag of thick red liquids he attached to his body destroyed, seeping down soaking his shirt .
Surprise fills the man’s face as he spoke ”I thought –”
”I was dead?” Kennedy laughs ”Yeah, never underestimate a man on a mission, wish you could give that information to your boss but i don’t like messengers” He shoots, two bullets rips through the man’s skull causing him to hit the floor dead.
He walks up to him, and then points to gun to the man holding his neck and bleeding out, staring at him, pleading with his eyes ”Plea-”
Kennedy shoots.

In another hour, he had their bodies buried, He opens the boot, picks out the bag of bills, enters their car and zoom off, a smile on his face.

”I should get me a suit, i intend to crash your primaries Jimmy, you shouldn’t have shown me your hand, now you would see mine”
He laughs.

*

Jaime is worried, they had returned without Adam. The only information he got was that Adam had visited the station, then the family of his late friend and then nothing else.
He was about to make a call he didn’t want to to the chief of police scared that something may have happened to Adam when he walk s in.

”Where have you been?”
Adam says nothing , he hands him his phone ”Why don’t you take a look at this, and tell me if you need to be here or going out there and making sure the earth is rid of this scum.”

Jaime takes a look at him before he takes the phone.

He staggers backwards ”Where did you get this from?”

”Steve’s computer”
”So he just had it, how did he find all this?”
”He is thorough, he has always been thorough. I think he hoped that if something happened to him i could find it. The folder had my name”

”Are you saying he knew he would be killed?”

Adam shakes his head ”No, but as long as you are in the force, you live every day as though it’s your last, because you ca get killed in battle, field, at work, any time, so…usually in academy school, we are taught to always leave clues behind, just incase. This is his, he was properly trying to tell me before he died. But, i found it”

”Do you know what this means? That my brother has been-”
”He is a monster”
”Jesus, these are children, this has been going on for years”

”Yes. This is prove, what are you going to do with this?”

Jaime is speechless ”I cannot..i…” He trails off
Adam shakes bis head ”He was right, you can do nothing”
Jaime’s head shoots up ”Did you meet Jimmy?”

Adam flares up ”Yes i did, i even landed him a punch, But guess what? He saw these and didn’t bat an eye, why? He got power now, and by tomorrow, he would have more of it while you hide her claiming you are protecting your family? from who? That man? By tomorrow you may not even have a family to protect Sir, because once he gets what he wants, he wouldn’t need your silence anymore but your dead body and maybe that of your parents. You want to protect them, and every other person in this city and stop the killings of little children in the community and all that, you fight him, that’s what you do. He knows i can’t take this public, he would make Steve a rogue cop , a blackmailer and obviously he is telling me that he can pull a number on me. But that s--t don’t scare me. i do not fear him, i have nothing to lose, the only reason i have not gone to the authorities is because i want you to do something, it’s because i do care about your life, and that of your family..he can come after me, i can fight him, but would you fight or you would sit back and let him bring ruin to us all?”

”I..Adam, i”
”Right!” Adam says walking away.
Jaime watches him leave, he stands there, his eyes closed. His fist tightened.

*

”Adam?” Tinny-B calls out to him
He doesn’t turn ”Yes Ma’am”
”Alexandra wants to see you. Where is Jaime?”

”Don’t know..what does she want?”
”A favor. She is at the balcony, out back, she needs you to be discreet”
He frowns turning, he nods walking away.
Tinny-B turns around and goes to look for Jaime, just incase he comes looking for Adam.

*

He sees her standing there, deep in thoughts ”Ma’am, you called”
She nods turning ”I am sorry about your friend. ”
He nods
”I need your help”
”What for?”
”Jaime Lockswire”
He raises an eyebrow ”Why?”
”Why what?”
”Why?”

She turns away ”I believe we meet people for a reason, and i think the reason why we met is so that i can be able to face my demons, but he needs to face his, maybe i would draw strength from his”
”Who is your demon?” he is curious,
”Someone whom others call dearly and run home to. Someone who is meant to love and protect, guide and direct, He is my demon.”
He wished he understood what she was saying, that would be for later, the only thing that interests him was Jaime, and what she wants .

”What do you want me to do?”
She turns and faces him .

*

The Next Morning…
Reporters and the news media filled the streets ushering themselves into the heritage building. The board of directors already have taken their seats, a few witnesses stood at the corner. The mike stand was set and they were live.

It was a few minutes to start time. Jimmy is seen smiling and talking Mr Chena while the others who were supporting him took one end of the conference room.
Mrs. Barlow and the six other board members took the other section. Observers and spectators rakes the rest of the room.
The Wellingtons were no where to be seen.
”Is the Mayor not coming?” A report calls from the middle of the room. It’s a few minutes to start time.”
Jimmy and a few others check the time,
”Maybe he wouldn’t” another said. Everyone is muttering.

Jimmy is frowning.

He has to be here, he has seal it, once he wins, he needs his father’s veto power. And he has to sign all the documents to him. He has got to be here.

”Chena, i told you said he would be here?”
”Yes” Chena leans forward ”He would be, that’s what i was told”
”It’s almost time, and my patience is running thin”

”He..” Chena trails off as a few security operatives are seen entering the hall
”He is here!” A reporter exclaims ”The Mayor is here”

” Sir?‘‘ everyone greets and acknowledges his presence. Gemmylne is walking beside him as they make their way to their seat.

Mrs. Barlow stretches out to hug Gem, and then taps Jacob’s hand.
Jimmy smiles.

Christine walks in just there, and then walks to greet the Wellingtons, smiling and then touching their hands.

Jimmy smiles again ”Such a devious little snake” he mutters under his breath.
Their eyes meet. He nods, she nods.
”Let us get this over with” Jacob mutters.
Chena gets up ”Welcome ladies and gentle, now we would begin the primaries for the Presidential election of the next President of the Heritage group founded by the present president, Mr, Jacob Wellington, who is also the Mayor, But due to the recent circumstances,he has stepped down from being president while i become one temporary. Working tirelessly to ensure the rise of the Heritage group which is a foundation for us all. But today, we are here to witness the pitching of our candidates. If you recall, they were ten, but now due to-”
