When it Thaws
Fresh brewing coffee filled my senses as I awoke from a dead slumber on the couch. "Alan, you want some coffee?" Randy asked while shoving a cup at me before I could even answer. Randy made his way back to the kitchen with the phone on his shoulder, head tilted, shouting "what do you mean that's all you can do for me at this time? Yea, let me speak to your supervisor's supervisor...then have them call me back!" he slammed the phone down cursing and running his fingers through his greasy long hair. I was afraid to ask, but I knew I had to. I'm his live-in best friend and right now all he has. "Randy, what's going on?" "The police department says they're closing the missing persons investigation and it'll remain an active report. They say they have no evidence that Melissa was taken or hurt, they're just going on she left me." He began to tear up and his voice was straining to finish the sentence. "Alan, I don't know what to do." he added. I casually replied "I don't know bro" while gulping my scouring black coffee that Randy has no business making. I did not want to suffer through another sob fest right now before my big fake interview, especially because of this fantastic news that had me fighting to conceal a sigh of relief. So, I walked out of the room while saying aloud "big day for me, we'll talk later man and don't sulk over this okay. It'll all be fine." I knew better. It was definitely not fine and I was running out of time. Randy doesn't know that I've already landed the job last week and today was my first day of work. I need to get this kitchen job done so I have enough money and can escape. Randy cannot know that I have money yet, or he will ask me for rent. I grabbed my work clothes in a separate bag so to fool my best friend while wearing my interview clothes and headed out the door.

Mom Marries Son's Killer Six Days After His Murder
I cannot say what I really think about this woman. No love in this world would allow me to stand by someone suspected in my child’s death, much less put a ring on my finger and carry their name. In fact, I would likely lose my mind and soon become Inmate #1234567 myself, smiling in my mugshot holding a “Yeah, I did it” sign.
