Chapter Eighty two

I stayed knelt down by Madison,  watching her while I waited for the emergency crew to arrive. I checked my watch, then after five minutes checked it again...  where were they?. D was sat across the other side of the room on a chair by the window. She kept looking out over the grounds then looking at her cell.
Given I was pre occupied with Madison I'd not really paid attention to her, but now as I studied her it struck me she was acting very strange. I said nothing.... until there came a knock at the door and she all but leapt outta her skin.

I went to answer the door expecting to see the emergency crew on the other side, but there was no one there.

"Strange..." D jumped again as I spoke and re entered the sitting room.. 

" what's with you?"

"I'm uncomfortable sitting here with you and your girlfriend." her eyes burned into me, and she fidgeted with the necklace hanging around her neck.

"Really?" I knew she was lying, I had been married to her for too long not to notice when she was hiding something.

"Yeah really..." this time her eye's avoided my gaze and she continued looking out of the window. Knowing she was hiding something I wouldn't let it go. " Not buying that crap, c'mon out with it, what you hiding?"

"Nothing I've told you...now let me alone..."

"I'll leave you alone when you tell me what's going on..." then it dawned on me, dot had said "do drug stores and coffee places spike drinks..." How would she know that, she was in the den when I spoke to Madison, unless someone had already told her.

"How did you know that Madison had been to the drug store and Starbucks for a coffee? I didn't know she'd had coffee until she came home? well?"

Dot got up from her seat and walked to the door and became defensive, which was another of the signs she was hiding something.

I said let me be Jon, I don't need this... it's not everyday you find your husband shacked up with some blonde bimbo of a nurse in favour of his marriage..."

"Nice Try Dot, but no dice, tell me what's going on and how you knew?"

"you must have mentioned it first?, now leave me alone... I'm going to the den..."

"I don't think so, go sit your ass down over there and start talking, or I swear to god I'll beat your ass black and blue..."

"Ha, I'd like to see you try... you don't scare me Jon, and for the last time I know nothing"

despite standing her ground she went back and sat on the chair, and with her face set like stone stared out of the window.

Checking my watch again, it was now some twenty minutes since the medics had been called...

talking aloud I asked, "God damn it where the fuck are they?"  

D spoke up without looking at me, "dealing with real urgent cases is my guess not just some intoxicated tart..."

Walking over to D I ordered, "Give me your cell?"

"no, I wont..."

"Stop pissing me off, give me your cell?"

"I said no..."

as she sat nervously twitching I snatched her cell from her grip, she tried to claw it back, but I moved away and scrolled through the last numbers dialled and found no call to 911, but there was a call made to a number not assigned a name.

"What the fuck, you never called 911?"

she tried to brazen it out, "I did, deleted it straight after the call..."

"Fuck, seriously, you expect me to believe that shit, what the fuck have you done, who was the number you dialled?"

She sat looking at me a sneer on her face,

"i'm telling you jack..."

As I moved over to take a hold of D a voice behind me spoke.

"Oh I guess that would be me..."

I spun round to find myself staring at Antonia.

"You, what the fuck, your dead?"

She smiled sinisterly at me, "Oh, are you really so dumb you aint figured it out yet?"

"Figured what out, Richie rang the hospital they said you were dead..."

She sided up next to me, and leant in close as she whispered, "I didn't say I was Antonia did I?"

I spat back, "Well if your not, who the fuck are you?"

"I'm karma, that's who the fuck I am.... and get ready baby, cause its gonna be a real bitch of  payback"

She had in her hand a knife, the blade glistened as she waved it in front of my eye's, time you took a seat next to your girlfriend...
