CHAPTER EIGHT
DAMIEN
she also looked up at him with a smile which still continued to fuel my anger and irritation, how and why did she know this cop and also who was he and why was my soon to be wife so chummy with him, my scowl deepened as this questions kept running through my head while my gaze never left the two of them, she looked so free and comfortable with him and that didn’t sit well with me. I’m a billionaire and her fiancé for goodness sakes but she hasn’t even spared me a glance since all this started. What was this feeling running through me as I watched the two of them exchange a few words, she was probably telling him about everything that happened before the cops arrived. I couldn’t be jealous, could I? No, it's just irritation at being ignored, I was used to women flocking around me but this particular woman acts like she doesn’t care who or what I have but I know her behavior towards me is just an act. Then the cop turned to face the crowd.
“Hello everyone, My name is detective Sam Johnson, I would like it if you all please exit the premises while this situation I’d being handled,” Sam said but the crowd around them didn’t move an inch so a small sigh left his lips as his gaze landed on the couple.
“you two will be coming with me, you already know your rights so I really don’t need to start reciting them to you, but one thing I know for sure is that anything you say or do right now will be used against you in the court of law” the cop said as he walked towards the man put handcuff him while is partner did the same to the girlfriend who didn’t put up a fight but the man on the other hand did as he started to rain down profanities at the detective trying to handcuff him.
“You don’t know you are dealing with, you fucking idiot, you and that nosey bitch will pay for harassing me like this, give me you badge number, you will be jobless by the end of the day you stupid cunt” the man said as he brought out is phone waiting for the detective to give him is badge number, Sam staring at the man with a disinterested look, unfazed by his threat brought out is badge and told the idiot is badge number.
“my badge number is 2234567 but you will be wasting your time giving my superiors a call, because I have enough evidence to lock you away for a very long time, I might even be promoted because you have been a Torn in my superiors side for a very long time Mr Adam” Sam said as a smirk made its way to his face as a surprised look appeared on the man’s face, “you thought I didn’t know who you where, I recognized you the instant I walked in, your father is the owner of a very famous car dealership but you on the other hand are a walking disaster, you have a lot of charges against you Mr Adam, drug charges, assault charges and even rape charges”
“Since you know who I am you think anyone would believe a lowly cop and a nosey bitch over a well respected public figures son” the man said as a small smile made its way to his face, on hearing what the cop had said, it clicked, I knew I recognized this man from somewhere, he is one of James Adam’s children, he owns different car dealerships all over California, New York, and Vegas. This particular son was the black sheep, always getting into different types of trouble but his father always found a way to bail him out.
“you see Mr Adam, I know who you are but I don’t care, you assaulted this little kid because your girlfriend over there told you he took it because she was to scared of you to tell you that you might have misplaced it,” Sam said as the man’s scowl deepened, “you believe this nosey bitch over me, aren’t you meant you here both sides of the story” Mr Adam continued to fume as Sam just stared at him with an uninterested expression.
“you should refrain from calling Miss Sanders a nosey bitch because you are starting to get on my nerves Mr Adam, lets go quietly or I will have to use force to take you in, Anyway goes for me, so what is it going to be and before I forget, Miss Sanders testimony isn’t the only evidence I have, you see this restaurant has cameras everywhere which means one or all of them would have caught you on camera but you were to engrossed in punishing that little kid for what he didn’t do to notice”.
“who is the manager of this fine establishment,” Sam said as an older man walked out of the crowd around us answering his question, “I’m the manger” the old man said trying to avoid the gaze of the cop staring at him, “I won’t even bother asking why you were hiding while this situation escalated in your restaurant, with that aside I need all the video feed from all the CCTV cameras in this part of the restaurant and if you don’t cooperate with us you will be aiding and abetting his crime, and I’m sure you don’t want to end up in jail for a something so trivial as helping a man who hurt the kid of one of your workers'' Sam said as the old man looked up at him with fear in his eyes, “I will get the videos right away,” the old man said quickly before turning to walk towards his office. “You are going to pay for this you nosey bitch this is all you fault” Mr Adam yelled as he charged towards Tamara with the intent if hurting her but before I could reach her and stop him, Sam had already jumped in his way, before anyone could react, he was on the ground gasping for air.
“You really should have done that” Sam said as he knelt down on the ground to handcuff Mr Adam who was still gasping for air.
“Solomon took this piece of trash and the lady to the car. I will be right with you after I get the videos” Sam said while his partner picked Mr Adam off the floor dragging him out of the restaurant.
“It was nice seeing you again Solomon” Tamara said with a smile while Sam’s partner turned to respond , “right back at you, come over sometime the kids miss you a lot, they always nag me everyday” Solomon said as he returned her smile. “I will try to visit sometime, I also miss them a lot also” Tamara responded as she gave him a small smile. Then the cop named Solomon left with the couple and the crowd around us began to disperse leaving Tamara, Sam, the mother, her child and I standing in the middle of the room. Sam then turned to face the mother and her kid
“while the manger is getting the videos, you and your child will have to come with me to the station, I need to take your statement also and I give you my word you will get justice” Sam said as he turned to face Tamara again and his serious expression was gone and was replaced with a friendly one, “I know you are busy being a detective and all but I had no one else to call” Tamara said as she looked u at him with a guilty expression, with a smile he pulled her into a hug, “you don’t have to be sorry I will always be there for you Tammy, you can call me any-time and I will come running” he whispered under his breathe but I was close enough to hear him.
He pulled away before his gaze finally fell on me, “Tammy who is the dude glaring at me behind you” Sam said as Tamara turned to face me with a scowl on her face, so I used the opportunity to introduce myself ignoring her reaction to his question, “Mr Kingston I’m Tammy’s Fiancée” I said as Tamara’s scowl deepened as she took a step towards me.
“never call me Tammy, you don’t have the right only he as that right, it’s Tamara to you and that what it will always be” she said, I could sense the anger in her tone, Sam still looked unfazed, his gaze moving away from me to Tamara who looked ready to punch someone in the face and that someone was me.
“is there something I’m missing Tammy,” Sam asked as he turned to face Tamara who gave him an apologetic smile, “it’s kind of a long story, I will explain everything later, after this issue is settled” she said but before Sam could say anything else the Manager walked out of his office with a bunch of CD’s in his hands.
“this is all the video feed from today detective Sam,” the Manger said as he handed over the CD’s to Sam, “thank you for cooperating with the police, that man will surely pay for what he did to that boy” Sam said as the old man turned to face the mother of the child that got Assaulted, “I’m sorry Mira that i didn’t do anything to stop that man from hurting your little boy” the manger said as he looked down at the floor in shame, it’s okay Mr Turner, you couldn’t have changed anything even if you wanted to interfere,” with a small smile directed at the old man she turned to face Tamara, she walked up to her taking her hands in hers, “thank you so much for your help, if not for you God knows what he would have done to my child, Thank you so much,” the mother thanked Tamara as tears clouded her eyes pulling my fiancée for a hug.
“no tears Mira, you need to be strong for your boy, this fight isn’t going to be easy, but with the evidence we have, Sam will make sure he pays, you can trust him to give you justice Mira, you don’t need to thank me, I did what anyone would have done” Tamara said as she pulled away from the woman. The little boy walked towards Tamara and she went on her knees to listen to what he had to say, “hey kiddo what’s up” she asked with small smile, “I wanted to thank you for saving me from that bad man, you looked so cool” the little boy said giving Tamara a small smile showing of his gap tooth. “well I’m glad you think so and like I told your mum you don’t need to thank me” Tamara responded as she gave him a small hug “can I marry you when I grow up” the little boy asked giving her a shy smile “I don’t know about that because I will be really old and wrinkly when you grow up, so why don’t you find someone you like and marry her instead” Tamara said with a smile and the boy smiled back, he looked disappointed but he still smiled, the nerve of this boy trying to still my fiancée right in front of me.
“Okay but I don’t like any girl now because they are weird” the boy said with a disgusted expression causing Tamara to laugh, “okay kiddo, with that aside you know you have to take care of you mum, do you understand”.
“I don't worry, no-one's going to hurt my mum” he said with a wide smile directed at my fiancée. But their conversation was cut short when Sam spoke up. “I have to take my leave now Tamara, we need to get them to the station for their statement, I will see you later, come over to the station sometime, we have a lot to talk about Tammy” Sam said as his gaze fell on me for a short period of time before it went back to Tamara. “see you later Sam”, Tamara said Placing a kiss on the detective’s cheek. “yeah see you later Tammy, I have a lot to tell you”. Sam said huffing her tightly before he pulled away. “can’t wait” Tamara said as Sam walked towards the door, when he got to the entrance of the restaurant he turned to wave and smile at Tamara and she did the same before he walked out if the restaurant with the mother and child leaving the two of us standing in the middle of the restaurant. “Now that your little hero act is over, I have to cut dinner short. I'm a busy man and something has come up, we can pick up where we left off later” I said as I picked up my phone to call my driver. “I don’t really care what you think Mr Kingston, and I hope we don’t see each other anytime soon” with that said Tamara walked away leaving me standing there with a shocked expression on my face, what the hell just happened I thought, as I watched her walk to the cashier probably to pay for her meal because she brought out her card, then few minutes later the cashier gave her card and without sparing a glance she left the restaurant.
