Chapter 4

              David waited impatiently in the lobby with Rock keeping a close eye out. Rock’s eyes occasionally glanced at the tap of his fingers on his leg that bounced in a drum-like rhythm. It was clear he was being anxious. It bothered Rock that he would be so demanding of Janet after he was aware she wasn’t in a relationship with him. David was there because he chose to be not because he had to be.

            “What the fuck is taking so long?” David hopped up.

            Rock pointed his stapler. “You sit down deacon Brown or I will send you to the good lord himself.” He threatened, causing David to scoff and fold his arms.  “I pay for my time. It’s not right…”

            On cue Janet comes walking in like the goddess everyone knew her to be. She smiled at David with the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. Rock noticed the change and rolled his eyes at the bulge in his pants that started to grow.

“Tragic.” He whispered under his breath as he began to type away at his computer.

            “I’m so sorry for the wait David. I assure you will get your hour as always. Thank You for being a loyal client.” David accepted her hand with a kiss to her knuckles.

“I will wait forever for you.” He replied, causing Rock to knock over some papers off his desk due to his lies. Everyone looked at him. David made a small growl only Janet could hear as he looked at Rock pick the papers from the floor.

            “Clumsy me! Clumsy me. I’m sorry for interrupting your……” He waved at David as he paused, stared disgustingly at David and began to pick the rest of the papers up. David caught the pettiness Rock was doing and became offended.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” He took a step, but Janet held him back.

            “Your time David, remember? Just me and you.” She grabbed his cheeks so he could focus on her, but Rock made another sound under his breathe that David didn’t like. He charged for Rock pushing Janet out of the way. Rock grabbed his expensive classy shoe from his foot and held it out like a sword.

            “Come on Satan. I been waiting on you!” He yelled out.

            “Stop please.” Janet begged, but neither man was listening.

            “Hey!” The voice of reason walked in, standing in between both men. “Everyone calm down.” Antonio intervened facing David to protect Rock.

“That faggot needs to learn some respect.” David pointed to Rock, causing Rock to go wild as Antonio held him back.

“Faggot? I’m more man than you will ever be. I know women honey and you the biggest pussy if I ever saw one.” Rock replied pointing his shoe towards David angrily and trying to push past Antonio.

            “Hey both of you. This is a place of business. You should treat the employees with respect and vice versa.” Antonio being stronger than Rock calmed him down by just holding him back. He looked to Janet that nodded off the security guards from coming to his aid.

“Who the fuck does he think he is?” David turned to Antonio now, but was speaking to Janet. His eyes fixated on his, already angry that the man had the audacity to waste his paid time and dare be alone with his woman.

Antonio’s eyes squinted in anger. “My name is Antonio Williamson. I can speak for myself.” He replied. Rock rolled his neck and folded his arms.

“That’s right and he will whoop yo’ ass. You don’t want no smoke bitch!”

            “Rock!” Janet yelled at him to behave causing him to roll his eyes at her. She grabbed David’s arm, holding his hand as she pulled closer to the elevators. He gave a crooked smile to Antonio like he won her or something which didn’t sit right with him.

            “I hate that guy.” Rock announced moving back to his desk, placing his shoe back on.

            “What’s his deal?” Antonio asked, leaning against the desk once Rock was behind it.

            Rock tsked. “He is a true basket case that one. He is in love with Janet. I try and tell her to stop seeing him, but he comes every Monday and Wednesday like clockwork the day after he preaches the good word and right before bible study. He never missed a day and probably never will.” Rock explained. Antonio folded his arms in pure shock and disbelief.

            “Wait he’s a pastor?”

            “The son of one.”

            Antonio shook his head. “She must get a lot of those here. How does he afford to pay for it all? A pastor’s son salary shouldn’t be able to afford two days let alone every week.”

            Rock Shrugged. “I’m not sure, but he is a great example of why I don’t pay tithes and offering.”

            Antonio leaned in closer as if they were keeping a secret. “You believe he is stealing from the church?”

            “You didn’t hear it from me.”

            Antonio soaked all the information in. He decided David would be the first one he would investigate. If the finances add up his job would be easy. Find the Strangler and be about his way. “Rock, I will need some things from you.”

            “Anything, just name it. You can have me if you want.”

            Antonio laughed shaking his head. “No thank you. I need Janet’s schedule and finance records on everyone.” He pulled out his warrant paper out of his jacket pocket as proof. Rock read it and his eyes opened.

“Did Janet not pay her taxes or something?” he asked. Antonio shook his head.

            “She just needs someone to keep a close eye on her from these weirdos she has as clients. I need to take a look around the building to map out the place as well. Janet said you will show me where I will be sleeping. You can bring the files to me there.”

            Rock slapped the warrant on his desk with a hard thud. “You’re staying here?” Excitement filled his voice that Antonio didn’t understand.

“For now. Just try and keep it quiet okay. I’m undercover.” Rock smirked.

“Oh you can try and keep it quiet sir sex a lot. I will get you whatever you need. Janet will enjoy having you here, as will I.” Rock walked off from his desk before Antonio could respond leaving him with confusion on his face.

            He had to remind himself it was just business between them and she didn’t want him. It was a known fact for over a year. Even though those thoughts reigned to be true, he still felt a tightness in his ball sack from being close to her and excitement for the days to come. He would show her what she missed by rejecting him.  He would make it his second goal, after capturing the Strangler.
