My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 40
Current Location: Amelia's diner It was now after one a.m. and we were about thirty minutes away from my cabin. It was a small diner that was open twenty four hours a day seven days a week. Upon entering you could see that this was the go to joint for people to sober up after a long night of drinking. I spotted Big Teddy in a booth in the back corner of the diner. I proceeded over to him, and sat down cautiously across from him. Kyle, Tony, and Mac were all outside watching to make sure not happened to me. I had that sense of deja vu. I really hoped by the end of this meeting I would not end up in the trunk of a car. I shivered at the thought of it. "Thank you for meeting me here at such a later hour Emma. I know that it must be quite the inconvenience, and you probably have a lot of questions. Let me explain why I tracked you down. I am simply looking for April White, your mother." Big Teddy said casually as he took a sip of his coffee. "What does that have to do with me? If you ar

Current location: Dr. Marsh’s office I could not believe that Pearl was murdered. I had so many questions running through my head. Like how did this person do it? How did they get by without a single person seeing them? What did this person hope to accomplish by killing Pearl? Before that day I would have believed Spencer was behind it, but what would we he have gained from doing so? None of this made any sense to me! I was frustrated and getting nowhere with my internal questions. Dr. Marsh had stepped out to get the autopsy report on Pearl and I was going a little stir-crazy waiting on him. I waited for about thirty minutes before Dr. Marsh came walking back in. “I apologize for taking so long, but we had an emergency trauma come in and I had to help them first. I have gone over miss Donaldsons autopsy report, and there is no doubt about it she was murdered. I was hoping that it was an error, but sadly it was not. If you would like I could come and talk with Mr. Donaldson with you

Current Location: The Shed behind my cabin with Shane I had just filled Shane and Kyle in on what my mother told me about Ruby. Shane had murder in his eyes. “What the fuck was Ruby thinking?” Why would she go after my mother she was innocent and never did anything to Ruby to call for this!” I grabbed Shane’s hand. “I am assuming she wanted to hurt you and she knew if she went after Pearl, it would hurt you immensely. Do not worry Shane she will not get away with this. Look we will deal with her soon. In fact, the main reason I am going to have dinner with Big Teddy is to strategize what to do with Ruby. I figured he is a big time criminal, and he can get away with the things we cannot.” Shane and I finished up our conversation than went back inside to say goodbye to the kids. Afterwards we headed to meet Big Teddy to discuss Ruby. I knew this was going to be an intense meeting seeing as Shane was Big Teddys son and they never met before. We pulled up to the restaurant, proceeded i

Current Location: Sitting in my car in an empty park I needed to clear my head before heading back to the cabin. I knew the conversation I was about to have with Shane was going to be very emotional. I did not know how I was going to tell him why I needed to give our daughter up. I also needed to talk to my mother again and I was not looking forward to that. And then there was Ruby. I needed to get back on track, destroying what little hope she had left. I had one idea that was not necessary but would be a hell of a lot of fun for me. I took a long-exaggerated breath put the car in drive and drove home. When I arrived back at the cabin Shane was sitting on the front porch. I could tell he was in deep thought, and I sat there just staring at him for a few moments before exiting the vehicle and walking over to him. “Hey Shane. Are you ready to talk or did you want to be alone? Whatever you need I will do.” Shane surprised me by standing up and pulling me into a hug. “Babe I am so sor

Current Location: Outside of Ruby’s house After Ruby hung up on me, I ran frantically into the house. Kyle saw the alarmed look on my face. “Ms. Emma what is the matter?” I stopped in front of him and took a minute to catch my breath. “Ruby just called. She is on her way back here we have maybe ten fifteen minutes to finish planting the snakes and spiders before high tailing it out of here.” Kyle gave me a hard serious face before turning to one of his men and saying, “Go tell everyone to get the job done now we need to clear out of here. I want the job done in no more than five minutes or we are going to have a serious problem got it!” The man quickly went to inform the others while Kyle and I headed back outside.“Kyle as soon as they get all the cages in the van drive it far enough away that you cannot see it from the house. Then you can walk back to my car, and we can watch the show!” Kyle grinned and said “No can do it will be you coming to the van. First off Ruby may recognize
My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 45
Current Location: In Kyles surveillance van two blocks from Ruby’s houseRuby entered her house with an angry expression on her face. “Ugg, I hate these stupid fucking politicians. They are always trying to say each vote counts and all that bullshit. Stupid assholes!” Ruby continued to rant and rave to herself about the “politician” she had just lost twenty minutes of her day because of. She sat down on her couch took her shoes off and turned on her tv than she proceeded to lay down. It was roughly twenty minutes before one of the spiders made its presence known. Ruby was lying there, and it looked like she was starting to dose off. I could be wrong about that though. From where she was and where the camera was it was hard to make out if her eyes were open or closed. Anyway, that is not important. What is important is what the first spider chose to do.This particular spider was a goliath bird eater. It was the biggest spider in the world and though they are venomous spiders they are

My Own Worst Enemy Chapter 46
Current Location: The cabin I did not understand why Shane called me for help. I did not trust him no matter is motives. And even if his father was trying to kill him, I did not see what that had to do with me. I did, however, agree to meet him for dinner the next night. After I picked up the kids we went home and had dinner. The rest of the night was uneventful, and we all went to bed rather early.The next morning, I made the kids breakfast, gave Shane a kiss and headed to my office. I had a few hours before I was due to be at Amelia’s diner to meet Millie and I wanted to get things in order at work since I was due back Thursday. I told Shane I was going to be late, so he was on his own for dinner.
