Give me a chance

Chapter 9

David came back inside and closed the door. He took his time going into the kitchen and Rose stood not moving, afraid to breath. The phone rang again and then she heard,

"Hello."

...

"Yeah, what the hell do you want Danny?"

...

"Right now?"

...

"Aright, I be down."

Rose once again heard footsteps as they headed out the door.

She heard the car pull out of the driveway, and made her way back to the living room. She turned to pick up her picture and she notice that it had been moved from where she had left it and it now sat on the coffee table with the TV remote on top of it.

She thought for a minute and decided that is was far too risky now. He had actually picked up the picture and moved it so he must have looked at it. Even David couldn't be that ignorant to not have noticed it now. She wondered if he had noticed that it had moved from the other table and was placed upside down. She figured if he had thought something was wrong at that point, he wouldn't have sat down and casually drank beer and watched trashy TV. It was still too risky. She would need to leave the picture behind. She turned around and headed out the door completely terrified. She had just almost gotten herself, Rosie and Harley killed. All for nothing.

David arrived back home about six hours later. They had their meeting and the meeting ended with David being taught 'Good Judgment'. He limped back into the house, and practically fell through the door. He knew that he had at least two broken fingers and possibly broken ribs. He sat down on his couch and thought about what had just taken place. He would kill them sons of bitches when he had the chance. No doubt about, he would kill them for sure.

Rose picked up her phone and saw that Bria had called. She picked up the phone and dialed her back.

"Hey Bria what's up?"

"Not much. Did you find anything?"

"No. I did manage almost to get myself, Rosie and her daughter killed by being caught by her brother though. I had a picture of Harley but it was to dangerous to take it. I thought about taking another one and desired that would be just as risky. So I didn't get what I went in for."

"Well can't you use a still off of one of the video feeds?"

"No, they're not clear enough."

"Hey babe. Rosie has a picture of her daughter up in her cell. She just got it this afternoon. Why don't we make a duplicate of it and let Rose have it?" Shannon said in the background.

"That's a good idea. Hey Rose, meet me up at the coffee shack off of 290 will ya? I got a picture of Harley for you."

"Okay sure, what time?"

"Give me an hour, I'll see ya there."

Bria pulled into the lot at the coffee house and walked inside. She saw Rose sitting at the table in the back and went and sat down.

"Hey how ya doing?"

"Not too good. I don't have a thing to go on. Everything I've tried is coming up a bust. Im exhausted,but I can't sleep. I keep waking up thinking that I'm not going to be able to do this," Rose said as she stared at her hands that were folded on the table.

"This probably isn't a good time to tell you this, but you have to know. After you 'died', the DA put a court appointed on Rosie's deal. They rejected it based on no new evidence. There won't be a stay."
