Diablo's Queen

Chapter 8

Sahara.

I had booked a flight and took the day off so I could make time for Lord's funeral .

I arrived at noon it was raining , I wore pure black.

A black turtleneck and pants and black ankle boots.

The funeral wasn't packed. A few unknown faces dressed in black .

I stood at a distance and watched as I pretended I was on another grave .

They left after the coffin was lowered and covered with soil .

I didn't get to see all of them as I was busy pretending I was caught on some other grave.

The rain had subsided.

I walked to where Lord's grave was, the soil still fresh the smell of moist earth filled my nostrils .

"I hope you are warm down there , I will miss you in my class, I really had a huge crush on , you were so charming , handsome ,dominant and over protective. Regardless I really loved having you in my class "I said.

I see people talk to graves in movies so maybe his soul is floating and hearing my words.

I placed a bouquet of flowers on the grave

The tombstone encrypted his name and year of birth and death. He was actually thirty.

"sleep easy "I said.

I walked back to the waiting taxi , suddenly I saw a parked Black Toyota Belta , for some reason I felt someone was watching me .It's windows are heavily tinted I couldn't make out who it was .

I shook my head , its a graveyard not my shower so someone is definitely watching for grave thieves or they are one of them.

There are people fond of stealing from graves,they watch as a funeral is going on , they wait until everyone is gone .Very late at night they come with shovels and a truck.They beginning digging ,they take out the coffin. Open it and begin to undress the deceased.Woe in to the deceased of he or she was dressed in an expensive suit or gown. They put the deceased in plastic bags and throw the remains into the grave like it's some kind of trash .They take anything valuable including a coffin. If the deceased is lucky ,he can be out in a cheap sisal coffin but naked.Grave thieves are very common.I can't blame them. This are just people looking into making an extra income . Poverty will make you do the craziest things.

I got into the taxi.

Due to the heavy rains my flight was cancelled to the next day . It was deamed dangerous to fly .So I had to wait for the next flight .

I booked a hotel for the night. It was a one bedroomed small hotel , comfortable and warm .I could atleast lay my head for the night.

I unpacked my bags , had a shower and got changed into some jeans , a white top and sneakers .

I was really hungry so I had to get some dinner in town .

I knew of a restaurant that made the best fries , chicken and salad. The fries were cholesterol free.

The last time I was in Atlanta was after the porn shoot.

After I did the porn video, my co star followed me as I left the mansion.

He offered to drop me home I accepted as it was past midnight.

Along the way we talked, he apologized for being rough as he was not informed I was a virgin .

He was very compassionate that he asked me on a date to watch the games in Atlanta with him .I couldn't say no as I really loved watching the games .

We had a great time at the games . He took me back to his house , we watched a movie and laughed at the funny scenes. As I had a shower he surprised me by joining in into the bathroom , it was really hot , he made love to me gently to compensate the porn scene and introduced me to anal s*x. He was a gentleman for sure . Though we didn't really have a serious relationship.I didn't want to get serious, he wanted to though. From my bad history of bad luck it's best I stayed away from him .I didn't want to hurt him . At first he didn't take the news well ,no one does , he was very upset and deeply hurt . Later he accepted we remain friends and left it at that.

While on our way to the airport he had gone to the store to buy some candy and a travel pillow .

I was looking through my phone as I filled the gas tank .

Out of the blues a shrewd man stood before me .

"This is for the old man , "he said .

I was confused .

The man pounced on me and stabbed me on my stomach digging the knife deep .

He drew it out and took off but Karma was on my side, he was hit by a car a few meters ahead and died on the spot.

I was bleeding out , my body was weakening .

Davis rushed me to the hospital , I was bleeding to death, his clothes covered in my blood my blue top soaked in blood .

The creep had stabbed me directly on my right kidney , it had to be removed .

I needed a donor urgently I passed out later on .

"Excuse me miss “Came a voice , distracting me from my flashback .

"can I take your order “she said.

I had forgotten I was already at the restaurant.

" Fries with salad and orange juice with pulp” I said.

"coming right up "she said.

The Royal restaurant is known for having the best cholesterol free meals , great customer service and of course great food .

I took my order and as I turned around I bumped into someone spilling my orange juice on him.

"You should watch..."he stopped .

He glared at me with fascination , maybe my shirt is too tight or my pants are unzipped .

"I am deeply sorry I am so careless, not seeing where I am going "I said .

He was tall , smartly dressed in a white shirt, and dark pants.

On his neck a golden chain with diamonds all over it very expensive drip, looking at his face he looks like he's in his forties.

He had grey hair and grey stubble beard, with some dark hair , and an athletic body .

For someone his age he looks very fit , he aged gracefully.

His gray eyes drank in every inch of my body.

I had a feeling I have seen him somewhere.

"Its okay "he said, his country accent in his voice.

"I am deeply sorry "I said .

"its okay , no need to worry "He replied.

My phone buzzed, I picked it .

"please excuse me” I said.

"Sahara, "Came Dante's voice.

I walked away , the handsome stranger staring at me .

"Dante” I replied.

"I need the file for Wednesday segregation unit inmates record “he said.

"I have it on my flash drive let me get to the hotel and forward to you "I said.

"thank you , "he said.

I took a taxi back to my hotel.

I sent the file to Dante from my laptop. I was so toast for the day .

I began to wonder where did I see that man . That look was so familiar .

********************

Going back to work felt a little off, I missed Lord , I would pass by his empty cell and look , he's gone . It was really heartbreaking he was no more. I looked around hoping there was no one .

I unlocked his cell door and went in .

His scent was all over the sheets. A new inmate would be brought I found a shirt on his bed I quickly took it and sniffed it . It smelled so good .

I squeezed it and hid it deep into my crotch .I heard voices.Two Sherriff walked in on me.

"Sahara ",one said

" I was clearing the place ,heard a new inmate is coming "I said.

" yes an asshole ,the i***t actually volunteered to have the death penalty ,how crazy is that ?" Frank said.

" being locked up is worse than death "I said.

" he was so desperate for the death penalty that he killed a fellow inmate ,gosh this people were raised by demons "George said .

"sheriff Sahara , please report to the supervisor's office " came an announcement.

" I will see you guys later "I said.

" good luck ", Frank said .

I hope am not in trouble .

I walked to the Warden's office.

I knocked and got in .

"please have a seat "he said.

I was nervous about the outcome of this meeting.

"Sahara, I am impressed by your work but sadly we can't have you here any more “He said. In my mind I kept saying 'not again' I got a transfer because Ohio State Correctional facility felt I was too pretty for crooked minds , now Texas feels the same . I get it am beautiful or whatever but I need to work like a normal person make a living for myself , meet a charming man get married and have kids .

I need this job , what can I do without it .

"why?” I asked.

Maybe someone sold me off having seen Lord and I kiss, or they found out about my porn career or worse Ohio state Penitentiary told them the risks of having a young female Sherriff in their department.

"I wish you could stay but orders are not from me “he said sadly.

He handed me an envelope.

I took it , I don’t know who gave the order but its best I respected the orders. Damn those big people that give orders !

I handed him my gun, badge, Taser, keys to the cells and the handcuffs.

Though I have another gun and Taser in my house, after the stab incident I had to take precautions.

I looked back at the facility one last time, am jobless.

I arrived home sadly.

Bun came from wherever she goes .

"I lost my job Bun” I said.

I decided to head to the mall and buy some food, I drown myself in ice-cream M&Ms, and milk shake when am stressed out.

"you want to join me?” I asked.

"meow" she went and cuddled herself on my couch.

"I guess its a no” I said.

I took my car keys and left .

I sat at the park to drown my sorrows , of being jobless , single and lonely.

I ate my rainbow ice cream from my medium large cup.

" drowning your sorrows in ice cream " came a deep country voice.

I was too withdrawn from reality that I hadn't noticed tears were falling from my cheeks .

The handsome man from Atlanta stood beside me . I was bewildered at how he suddenly appeared .
