rookies are.” Harkness said, shaking his head at her. “ Someone get her ass out of here.”
“ It’s ok, we’ve all been there.” All Klecko could think was how they had become accustomed to death, that a dead body like this didn’t scare them anymore. As if it were just a natural order of life. In a year or two, that young forensics would be just like them. No matter how much blood you saw, it just didn’t bother you anymore.
Chapter 12
COME BACK TO ME
A week without an Instant message, a week without an e-mail directing to a dirty website, a week without a text, a week without a phone call only meant one thing, Peewee was angry. This wasn’t the first time he had given Karen the cold shoulder, he had done this in three other separate occasions. Once because she mocked him for getting a flattop that made him look like the skinny and whiter Vanilla Ice. The second time was when she took a snap shot of him wearing Lion King underwear and posting it on a site dedicated for people with a fetish towards self taken undie pics, the photo alone received over twenty-five thousands hits and plenty of responses from some very lonely men in the middle east and Mississippi that begged to see the whole front package. The third time was when she broke his Batman action figure that he slept with in the night, while they were rough housing. The result was the same, she needed to be the one to heal the wounds and make the peace, she couldn‘t stand not hearing from him, even when she had nothing to say.
When Jamie left, he would leave a voicemail talking about his day. “ I swear, this guy was like huge, I thought that chicken nugget would be his last .” It was all to let her know he was still thinking of her and hoping to bring her out of the dark storm. Even though he led her out on false pretense that night, she was willing to forgive and forget, she was hoping they could restart from the start again.
Karen knew trying to find Peewee at his apartment was like trying to find your soul mate online, slim. His apartment had no air conditioner and was roach ville. He spent his nights sleeping in his car, but in the day he worked in the crummy video rental store “ M&M ’s Vids” No, it wasn’t run by the same company that made chocolate candy, this was a small video store run by two pot head brothers named James and Derrick Venture. Why name the video store M&M’s, It was abbreviated for the their masterful skill, masturbation. Which meant M&M stood for, “ Masturbation Masters.” The two fools would always laugh at the inside joke. They were the prime example of what monstrosities smoking crack while pregnant had on a child.
The video store was profitless, the only people who went to rent videos from the store were Jamie, Peewee , herself and Ralph the homeless old man who always browsed around the aisles looking for a DVD cover to jack off to. The three had made a little game out of it, each one placing bets as to what film he would land on, the winner collected the cash, while the losers had to chase the old homeless man before he got off, they all got a chuckle from that. The only way the video store manage to remain afloat was because of the brothers mother & father's bank accounts. Rich yuppies, who were glad to pay for their failing son’s as long as they managed to keep themselves out of prison, a feat that wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for Peewee.
The two brothers had been busted over a pot possession and were hauled into the precinct to be processed, a few years back, Peewee had been lurking in the halls one night when he ran into the two, he managed to speak to the brothers for a good thirty minutes, after they filled him in, they begged Peewee to get them out of their jam, in return they would owe him back one favor, no questions ask. Of course
