Chapter 4

“Pierre!” Maddie could barely stutter out. “Surprised to see me?” He said is his usual cool and calm manner that Maddie had been near for nearly 25 years.



 “You thought “oh, if I just stop writing and calling he’ll forget that I’m his fiancé’ Madeline you fool, how could anyone forget you, my dear?” This was along Maddie’s thoughts. She just figured that he’d move on, like she had. Pierre lit a cigarette. “Please don’t smoke.” Maddie said. “Why?” He said. “If I remember correctly, which I do, you use to love to smoke…and other things. Do you still like to…” “Stop it! I don’t want you to smoke because I’m pregnant.” “Does junior know?” Maddie looked down. How do I tell him? “Madeline, where’s junior?”



Pierre acted concerned, but he knew. He had in fact been in contact with Maddie’s father. Maddie’s father told him what happen, in exchange for cash. “Madeline, I want to know.” He said. I will not cry! I will not give him that satisfaction! Maddie calmly said “He’s been adopted. He has a good home with a wife and a child.” Pierre laughed. “How old is junior now? 24? I’d like to meet my son.” Pierre smirked. “Oh, and your husband, Paulie, does he know?”



 “Leave them alone.” Maddie was getting angry. “I heard you made up some story when you met Paulie. That you had just moved there from France….Is he stupid enough to think you’d study French in America?” “Listen up, you ruined my life. My parents sent me to live with an abusive uncle in America, while you got to live like a king, you stupid prick. I did what was best for the baby! And he is NOT “junior”! So I lied. It’s better than the truth. Those last 3 years of my life where hell! Can you didn’t care about me! You never did! All the letters I sent you, all the times I tried to call you, you never once responded! And I’m not your fiancé or lover, I hate you Pierre DeCube! Now Leave!” Maddie got up from the table and ran to her car, and just drove. She didn’t know where she was going. But she was going there. A call came up on her cell phone. It was Paulie. She answered it. “Hello?” “Hey babe,” Paulie said. “I need you to set up a room for my….uh…” “For your what?” “Daughter. It’s a long story. But I explain later, she’ll be there at seven. I love you thanks!” “I love you too.”
   Matt walked nervously into Captain Calhoun’s office.  What did I do this time? “Detective Picasso?” Matt shifted nervously in the uncomfortable chair. “Yeah?” “I have in my hands over 50 reports of inexcusable behavior.” “So… you want me to check it out?” Matt said hopefully. “No, these are reports on you. I’m afraid I’m going to have to let you go.” “What? I’m the best you have!” “I’m sorry Matt. Please clear out your desk.” “No way! Who made this up? Paulie? That man just wants me gone because I don’t like his wife….” “Don’t make this worse.” Capt. Calhoun said calmly. But it was too late for reason. Matt started breaking Captain Calhoun’s awards. Captain Calhoun had him “escorted” out of the station.

Paulie entered the hospital break room for patients. He’d had been told that this is where his… daughter was. Annie is my daughter!  He thought when he saw her.


 His hair, freckles, eyes, and smile. She was laughing with some nurses. “Hi Annie.” Paulie said. “Oh, you must be Detective Burt. My mom just when a little haywire…I’m fine I just want to go home. Is she here?” Paulie couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Her mother was being tried for attempt at murder, with her confession there was no way she was going to win. “No, Annie, she’s not here…Annie she’s given custody of you to me.”


“Why would she do that? She loves me!” “Annie, I’m your father. I have a big house, with a dog and wife and plenty of room for you.” “No! I’m not going!” It took a long time before he could convince her to stay with him. After a while Paulie said. “Would you like to meet you brother?” “Okay.” She said hesitantly. Paulie took a deep breath as he walked with Annie to Toby’s room. When they got there the room was empty. “What’s going on?” Paulie asked a nurse who was passing by. “Oh, Toby Burt got transferred to recovery. That boy finally woke up! Are you his father?” Paulie was stunned he could only mummer “Yes.” Then he turned to Annie and said “Am I dreaming? Pinch me.” She did so. “Ow!” “I guess your not dreaming.” Annie said. “Let’s go!” She said they ran to Toby’s new room. “Hey there big guy!” Paulie said as he picked the fragile boy and hugged him “Daddy!” Toby hugged him for a long time. Then turned to Annie and said “Who are you?” “Annie. I’m your big sister!” She said crying. They held each other. Annie has found a loving family. Toby has found the world again. I’ve found a reason to live again. But what about Maddie? Paulie thought. Just then she came running into the room. “Oh My God Maddie!” “Mommy!” “New Mommy!” they all called out. “Toby! Paulie! New daughter whose name I don’t know!” They held each other and cried.

 Across town a drunken Matt sat in a bar and brewed over how to get even. “I know I’ll….”

Chapter 5

Paulie sat in chair at his desk at his station. Since the firing of Matt, a month ago, Paulie hadn’t had a partner. Matt and Paulie had been partners and best friends since the sandbox. Now Paulie keep getting threatening letters from Matt, blaming for his problems. All week long the captain had been talking about “Stan the man”. Paulie had heard the rumors of “Stan the man”. That they had 97 percent undercover case closer rate, the highest in the country. ”. No one knew who “Stan the man” was. From all accounts they were a made up person. No one could point out “Stan the man”.  Capt. Calhoun won a bet from the Captain of vice and undercover and got “Stan the man”. That had made Paulie wonder if he had been Capt. Calhoun’s betting chip. The room was buzzing with noise, then all the sudden it got very quiet. Paulie looked up to see a beautiful woman enter the room. She smiled and flicked her hair.

She looked familiar but he couldn’t place the face. She walked to the Captain’s office. Her walk was perfect. Even the female officers wondered who she was. Detective Johnson joked “Capt.’s got a working girl!” Paulie stared him down.

Captain laughed loudly from his office. The woman had a flirtatious laugh. Johnson said “See Paulie, she is.” As he said that the door opened and the woman walked out. “I’m what?” She smiled, her teeth were perfect. She picked up a box that had been sitting in the corner for a week and put on Matt’s desk. All the guys checked out her butt, “Nice.” Said Oft. Lanier.  “Careful,” she said. “I just might have to kick your ass for that.” Then she turned to Paulie and said. “Hello Paul, I’m Stanloe.” Paulie was uneasy at first but then shook her hand and said “Call me Paulie. Are you my new partner?”  Capt. Calhoun came out of his office and said, “Yes she is. Everyone, this is “Stan the Man” DeVaux. She’ll be Paulie’s new partner. Be nice everyone, she kicked my butt in kick boxing.” He laughed and returned to his office. Stanloe turned to Paulie and said “It’s six. You want to quit for the day and grab a beer? My uncle owns this low life bar, but he’s got amazing imported beer. And it’s free, well at least for me and my guests.” “Um… okay. Let me call my wife and tell her that I’ll be home late.” “A married man? Hmm. I’ll keep that in mind.”
   
   I think I’m going to go crazy! Maddie thought. It had been years since she had dealt with fighting kids. Kids are hard. But when one is a female teenager who just had been kicked out of her “normal” life and the other was a boy who had been in a coma for the last five years. They fought like cats and dogs. Annie was having a hard time adjusting at her new private school and at home. She hid in her room with her diary. Maddie had tried to get to know her. She took her on a shopping spree for new clothes and shoes and anything Annie said “Oh, that’s cute.” Maddie took Toby the store separately and they bought a lot of stuff too. Maddie was trying to get Annie to stop calling her Mrs. Burt, with little success. When dinner time came around, they wouldn’t eat any of it! She had worked her way thru French classics and American health food and was now on American heavily processed frozen food. Tonight it was fish sticks. And once again they wouldn’t eat it. Maddie was 5 months pregnant and her back hurt like hell and she hadn’t been around teens or kids that she could threaten serious academic punishment and her only other experience with teens was with Hayden who was never any trouble. She suddenly snapped. “You’ll eat this, or you’re not eating anything!” She had been taking them out to eat when they wouldn’t eat what she made. “You’re kidding right?” Annie said defiantly. And Toby said “This junk? I’m not eating it at all!” Maddie picked up their plates and locked the pantry and the refrigerator, and said “He who is with out sin, be the first to condemn. And you all have sinned by not honoring your mother.” Maddie went up stairs and went to bed. Annie turned to Toby and said “Look what you did!” “Me?” Toby asked “I didn’t do anything! It was all you.” They both tried to open the locks, but both failed. They went to their rooms and went to bed, hungry.

At the bar Paulie was drinking a club soda; Stanloe was drinking a strawberry daiquiri. She was trying to lose control, and he was trying to stay in control. She had confessed that she had a teen daughter who had two kids. And that the father was another teen loser who was married and had four other kids. Her daughter’s father was some big shot construction business man. Stanloe had only known him for a week when she got pregnant. Paulie knew she was pretty wasted. He told the bar tender to cut her off when she went to the ladies room.

 He said, “Boss says give her and her friends all they want.” Paulie looked at his watch. It was 11:47. He had to get home. He knew that he couldn’t let Stanloe drive like that. She still hadn’t come back from the restroom.

He decided to go knock on the door. As he knocked a male voice said “Don’t come in!” Stanloe said “Why he can see us?” Paulie realized they were having sex. He just said “Stanloe, you need a ride home?” She replied “Yeah that be nice, I’ll be out in a minute.” It took 15 minutes. She came out and they went to Paulie’s car. She at first directed them to a cheap motel, but Paulie told her it wasn’t happening. She looked like that was the first time she had been said no to. So she correctly directed him to her house. He waited till she went inside then he drove home. It was one am. As he pulled in he noticed someone at one of the windows. The person didn’t notice him. They were too intent on this window. Annie’s window. Paulie snuck up on this person and pulled his gun and said “Police, freeze!” The person was smart enough to get against the wall. Paulie patted him down. No weapons. He took this person to where there was enough light to see his face. It was a teenager. A slobby one at that. His clothes where covered in dirt and grease. He said “Dude, look I was only talking to Annie. Nothing else!” Paulie put his gun away. And said “Why are you looking for my daughter?” “She’s my best friend, after what happened and a month I just wanted to see her.” Paulie sighed. He knew this feeling; for once he was a teenager. “Go home, come back in on Saturday. When it’s light!” When he entered the house, Annie was fuming. “Why’d you do that?” Paulie knew she had never had anyone look out for her so he tried to explain it. “Some random person at my window at 1 am. What am I to think?” Annie just stormed off. Paulie headed to bed and another night passed.
