Chapter 9 - Private Client

Of course, that night, Jimmy went to see Vera (Morrison) at home to explain the whole matter and what happened exactly, he didn't want to plead for mercy anymore cause it was just a shit show created by Garry. So, when he got the house, he knocked softly on the door, knock-knock, knock-knock, knock-knock then he stopped knocking, as he turned sideways, but surprisingly he saw Vera with her arms fold staring at him at the other side of the door, which of course, startled him, and wanted to pretend not to be and said "Oh you're here!" As he was nervous. But she opened the door and walked in leaving the door opened so Jimmy checked around cause it was late already, and he entered the house, closed the door and took a seat at the parlor, while Vera (Morrison) was busy in the kitchen to get some juice, so Jimmy sat patiently while still on check for any other person in the building but no one would come around, so, Vera (Morrison) came with two cups of orange juice, as he handed him a chilled cup of orange juice and he bowed in appreciation. But, Jimmy was feeling much better with Vera (Morrison) around, so, Jimmy sipped the juice and dropped the cup and was about to rush to conclusion but Vera Morrison was uncomfortable with the reaction, so she waved her second finger at his face as she said "That's not happening" and she continued "Now, drink you juice, there's more, so, cool down your nerve". So, he sipped more and more as he cleared his throat to speak up "I actually came her to apologise about what happened today".

However, Vera (Morrison) was very much still holding on to her cup of juice, but, Jimmy continued "It wasn't what you think, it was just as if someone upset him from wherever he's coming from" while Vera (Morrison) replied immediately "and that was why I left immediately, he looks offended, and his reaction to you even as his son, it's odd" but she continued "Never mind, maybe we're on the same page now, My Dad has not been home for days now, I run the whole house now" and Jimmy felt sorry for her but also asked "What about your mum?" As Vera (Morrison) answered "She died some years back, shot by a cop", and Jimmy felt sorry again but he figured out that he had to move close to her, as he said softly, "I'm sorry, I never meant to go that far", Vera (Morrison) replied "Don't be, You're just a shithead boyfriend anyway". She added "Hope you brought your dick along while coming", and Jimmy answered excitingly "Yeah, you're about to brush your ass", "we have the whole night, right?" added Vera (Morrison), "Yeah sure" Jimmy answered.

Nevertheless, Mr. Garry Johns was in panic for the very first time about his family, at 1:00am he was still up and looking a means to communicate with Jane Johns colleagues at work but no one would pick up, as well as Jimmy wouldn't come home, so he made up his mind to go visit the Police Station in Washington DC, to complete his enquires about the information on his dear wife, when he got to the police station he requested to see the Inspector in charge of Mrs. Jane Johns but they couldn't a reasonable answer to him. So, they informed Mr. Garry Johns that His Wife is no more in their custody, also that she was released to go home due to her considered complaint that was accepted by the Inspector in charge of case on the previous day to resume as late as 8:00am in the morning of the present day, but now she's wanted cause GPS reports that she's currently in Texas, these words are believed to make Mr. Garry Johns to be more than frustrated and disappointed for sure, but Mr. Garry Johns didn't leave the police station and kept pressing them for her current address and put the Police department to work at late hour but luckily for him they we're ready to help, so they pressed and pressed for more of the new information, as they tracked the GPS of the phone, but the Hacker Inspector Tommy took along kept shutting them out of the phone system, thinking the tracker might be the kidnapper, the Hacker reported the issue to Inspector Tommy as he asked him to keep tab on it because by then they were already closed to the station, and when the Hacker could get the Tracker ID, he found out that the signal was strongly pointing at the police station, so, the Hacker reported the Tracker's location to be the Police Station at Washington DC, but Inspector Tommy Hughes remembered the phone conversation with the Kidnapper that he was staring at the police station and he asked the Hacker again "Are you sure about this?" As the Hacker responded actively and even showed him "Here, you can have a view yourself, inside of the Police Station?", But Inspector Tommy replied "There we have the hard guy, don't let him in!" as he also told the driver to move faster.

In few minutes, they got to the station, as Inspector Tommy instructed all his crew members to surround the station and search the station on the tracker location signal, but soon enough they found out they we're only tailing each other, Inspector Tommy exclaimed "This is even more than a headache for me, Goddanmit!" He added "Where on earth is this guy?" As he fired a shot to the air, Garry was frightened when he was introduced to Inspector Tommy Hughes as the Inspector in charge of Jane Johns case and Inspector Tommy refused to enter the station that night out of frustration, so he had to go meet him outside, now it just a two furious man show, of course, Garry grabbed the Inspector from behind to duel with him without minding the Inspector gun, took him down from behind but in no time they both got surrounded by heaps of police, of course, it's a police station, they got Mr. Garry Johns arrested instantly locked up in the cell, an assault against the office of the law was trending on TV stations and social media by Mr. Garry Johns from that moment and till day break on newspapers.

However, Jimmy was up as early as 5:00am when his alarm ranged as he quickly put it off so it won't disturb any other person, so it was a Saturday morning and doesn't even has plans on going home when he checked his phone, there was a lagging notification on the screen and he decided to open it, It was an News Headline reporting an assault again a Police Officer which happens to be Mr. Garry Johns, so he popped up and was about to leave the house when Vera (Morrison) noticed his footsteps and woke up as well, se asked him "Oh you're up?, Where're you going? It's too early you know!", Jimmy answered and said "I wanna go confirm something at the Police Station" but Vera (Morrison) dissaproved and said "Oh! right now?", But Jimmy threw the phone on the bed, with the information on the face of the phone screen, she screemed "how did this happen?" And Jimmy answered her "that, I'm about to confirms", so Vera (Morrison) had to let him go as she added "I'm not going to see that dickhead, you know", Jimmy left immediately.

Also, the Boss at Mr. Garry Johns workplace (Verizon Newspapers Company Plc.) needed him to make money, so he felt solely responsible for his quick release when he had the information as soon as 5:00am as well, so he sent for the his release as that minutes by some of the police officers that answers to him, and by 5:50am they had to replace Mr. Garry Johns with another man in the prison he's locked, but to follow strict orders he can't just be released to go home like that, they took him to the (Verizon Newspapers Company Plc.) His Workplace and the Boss was present at the situation, as he smuggled in some bag into his office, no one laid their eyes on him, as instructed as well, it was inside the Boss he finally caught his first fresh breathe before the smuggling, but I think he's grateful to feel life again.

Although, Jimmy arrived at the police station as soon as 5:30am but no one paid attention to whatever he had to say while the smuggling was on by then, they only took note of whatever he had to say and have his sit down untill day break and he was fast asleep on the chair when they brought him the replaced man, the time was 6:10am by then, and he nodded as he pissed as well as he yell at the replaced man "You're not Garry" as he stood to go check home if his real father was at home.

Obviously, when he got home, the house was as empty as ever, with the current disappearance of both parent he broke in tears at the moment, sobbed bittterly for hours, regretted ever sleeping over at Vera (Morrison) house last night, he thought of it, if he had never left the house that night, Garry his father wouldn't have walked out to beat up a Police Officer, not quite long at exactly 10:36am, the TV was on just as Garry left it on, another headline came in that Mrs. Jane Johns has been found by the police, right there at the police station she was caught while she walked into the police station, "That's Odd?" Jimmy said with a surprised face, as he took off to visit the Police Station again but while he about to leave his phone rang but he didn't wait, so, he picked the call and continued moving, it was Vera (Morrison).
