Love & Vengeance

Hey Kelly, "I think we should go out tonight to celebrate your fantastic promotion. I mean it's been over a week since you got promoted", Ashley stated. I don't know, I have this case that I'm working on, and I can't think of anything else until I reconnect Anna with her Mum. It's so unfortunate they had to be separated from one other for a crime she (Anna's Mum) didn't commit.

Oh, Kelly, I know how much you prioritize your cases and always want to offer your clients your best, but a quick outing won't hinder you from doing that. Just look, you've been staring at that board for about an hour–come on, let's go out, get some clarity, and maybe meet a handsome man and get-some tonight. Hahaha. (Kelly giggled as she flung a pillow towards Ashley). I don't know, alright okay ok. Let's go out tonight! Yeeeeepe! Now that's what I'm talking about Ashley said…

Ashley come on, I can't hold the elevator much longer, Kelly remarked. Oh so very sorry, couldn't settle on the exact colour of lipstick that will make me alluring, slutty you mean? Kelly stated. Whatever! What I know is that we are both meeting the guys of our dreams tonight. If you say so Ashley if you say so!

Oh my! This club is massive! Yeah and very vibrant. Kelly, concentrate! that's not why we're here. Let's go find a seat and check out some attractive dudes! Hey Bartender, can we have two dirty martinis and shots? My closest friend was promoted at work and we are partying tonight. Did I forget to add that she's ve…ry single! Ashley!! (Kelly yelled in an attempt to shut her up). What! Ashley said. I'm off to powder my nose, don't go anywhere. (Ashley whispered giggling as she left Kelly with the bartender).

Oh no no no no! He's coming this way. Oh God no! (Kelly turns her face aside to hide from Harvey). Hi Kelly, Harvey! I didn't know you went to places like this, after all, you're miss goody-two-shoes. Well, I do, occasionally. (Kelly says while she sips her drink). But tonight, I'm here for a friend. Oh, I see, yeah. I'm sorry, but I have to leave, look, notice my friend over there she beckons on me (Ashley,  Ashley, Kelly screams out to her as she clutches Ashley's hand and heads towards the exit of the club).

Kelly, what's wrong with you? Why did you pull my hand the way you did? Couldn't you have seen that I was flirting with a handsome guy and it was working? What was that all about? Ashley, I'm sorry. I just needed to get away from Harvey. Harvey! Harvey from work! Your adversary Harvey! Yes, Harvey, albeit I never said he was my foe. Oh really! What did he want this time? He was just being his normal self, a jerk! Always trying to get under my skin. Oh, Kelly, you would have let me have a go at him. Don't you worry, he's not worth it? I'm sorry he ruined your night by extension mine. Kelly said to Ashley. Come let's get some Chinese cuisine and go home to watch the last episode of 'The Bachelor'. You know me too well, said Kelly. That's why I'm your best friend! ... (Kelly laughs)

Beautiful morning bestie, hmmm, someone is in a good mood…spill! So you remember the guy I was talking to at the club, uhmm, yeah, well, he phoned this morning and said he will want to see me again, and asked if we could go out tonight and I said okay. Oh! Yeah, so don't wait up, 'cause mama is feeling lucky tonight. Yeeeeepe! You're such a nasty girl Ashley. Well, I hope you have a wonderful time with… with what? His name? Oh crap! I don't recall, well...who cares! (Ashley makes her way out of the room singing)

 (The next day…)

Ashley! (Kelly beckons her). I'm headed to work. You have your keys right? Sure, yeah. Alright, have a wonderful time at work, I love you! (Ashley hugs Kelly, watches as she makes her way into the elevator and whispers, bye love). Mr. Tom, good morning Kelly, I observed you and your friend came back home rather late yesterday. Yes, we did. We went out to celebrate my promotion at work and lost track of time. Wow! Congratulations Kelly, you have always been a nice kid, I'm very proud of you. Thank you, Mr. Tom. Sorry, Kelly, I was hoping I could discuss something with you. Oh my! Can it wait? I'm running late. Can we chat when I return? Alright. Do have a wonderful day. Thank you. We'll chat when I return okay, bye Mr. Tom.

(Kelly makes her way to the office)

Good morning Kelly, good morning Tim, how was your night? Very well, thank you. Here's the coffee and doughnut you enjoy so much. Thank you so much! I nearly forgot this came in today for you. Tim said. I suppose it's new evidence for the burglary case you're working on. Oh my, thank you very much. (Kelly tears the envelope to view its content). Yes! With this information, I can reunite Anna with her Mum.

Hey Boss, yeah, Kelly come on in. This came in today and I think it's the smoking gun we need to close the Wilson case (Maria Wilson, a 30-year-old single mother was allegedly involved in the burglary of a jewelry store in Greenwood that resulted in the death of the business owner. Maria was arrested and sent to jail separated from her daughter and will give anything to see her daughter again). Hmmmn, this is good Kelly, let's use this to bring Maria home and unite her with her daughter. Thanks Boss.

(Key lock turns as Kelly makes her way into the house)

What! Ashley, what are you still doing here? Waiting for Jack to come to pick me up. Oh Jack it is now, Kelly grinned. So. (House bell chimes…) That must be Jack, how do I look? Beautiful as always, oh well thank you. Ashley chuckles as Kelly goes to the door. Mr. Tom, hi Kelly, I saw you walk in and I thought I should come immediately before it gets too late. You know I'm an elderly man, hehe… (Kelly grins). Come on in. Hello Mr. Tom! (Ashley welcomes him in a gloomy tone). Is she okay? Yes, she is just disappointed that it wasn't her date at the door. Let's go into the kitchen to talk while I pour you a cup of tea.
