Chapter 5
Charlene
As I read through the report that Doctor Shirly provided us about the attack that resulted in Jack’s life threatening injury, I am enraged that a man’s wife could cheat on him with a man like that who could so easily harm a man in his own home with no real concern for another man’s life..
On top of that, she dumped him at a hospital and then showed no interest about whether he lived or died that night or even after and has not answered any of our phone calls asking her to contact us.
Before the end of my shift, I called the police detective for our area and asked him to come to the hospital. That I had more information concerning the man who was dumped at the hospital a five weeks ago with a life threatening head injury.
When detective Curtis arrived at the hospital, I showed him the video of Jack being dragged into the hospital in a coma.
“With new information that we got from the victim today, this woman is Jack’s wife Leena and the black man is her lover.
They are responsible for what happened to Jack,” I told the investigator.
After I gave the detective Jack’s home address and phone number, he told me that he would need to talk to Jack before he could proceed. I led him to Jack’s room and told Jack he needed to be as open with the inspector as he possibly can.

It was just after dinner that Charlie brought the man in a nice looking gray suit into my room and announced that he was a police detective. When she told me to be as open as possible, I took her words to heart.
Since I woke up from my nap and while I was eating dinner, more memories had become clear for me. I remember the tour in Vancouver and driving home happily intending to surprise my wife on the day before our 8th anniversary.
I remember the shock of coming home and finding my wife being fucked savagely in my own bed and trying to pull the black man off of her. I remember the man hitting me with something very solid and crashing to the floor.
The detective took notes the entire time I was recounting the event. I could swear I could see anger in his expression by the time I finished talking.
“Do you want to press charges against them? We can do nothing about this unless you will press charges,” Detective Curtis told me. “I want you to throw the book at both of them,” I answered.
After Mr. Curtis said that was very good, he handed me a large note pad and had me write down everything I had told him.
Then he had me state that I was swearing out a complaint against the both of them for Aggravated Assault with Great Bodily Harm.
Then I signed and dated the paper. Charlie signed as a witness.
I was surprised when Charlie told me that she would be back later.
Today being Friday, she is off for the weekend now that she is off duty.
“I’ll be back so we can do some talking after the evening rounds are completed,” she told me.
Then, she kissed me on the cheek and she left with the detective who told me that they would swear out an arrest warrant for Leena and her lover within the next 48 hours.
It was 9pm when the night nurse brought my medications to me. I did not want to go to sleep just yet. I know that the sleeping pill with the anti-depressant will knock me out and I still have some thinking to do.
I told the nurse that I was not ready to sleep just yet and asked her to come back at midnight. I was thankful when she agreed to that.
