I am still awake about an hour later when Flo woke up slowly. "Hey baby..." I said pulling her closer to me kissing the top of her head. I waited until she had woken up completely to tell her that Jackson had been arrested. I told her i had sent the file over so the cops could use it to bring a case against him. She wasn't too thrilled but understood. She wasn't looking forward to everything coming out in the open, but she knew there was no point in hiding it anymore it would have come to the surface either way.
"The detective wants a statement from us tomorrow..." I whisper. "Okay." She said between sobs. "Come on ma saved you some dinner and you need to eat something...." We walked downstairs being greeted by ma. I made Flo a plate of food and she took a few bites, apologizing that it was really good, but she wasn't really hungry. She excused herself and went back to bed. Ma looked at me worried. "Is she going to be, okay?" She asked. "Yeah, she will be..." I said giving ma a little smile. "She just needs to process...." I got a text from my manager telling me the file had been hand delivered to the detective. I looked at the time it was 9.30.
"Can you keep an eye on her for an hour or so?" I asked ma. "Yeah, sure but where are you going?" Ma said crossing her arms. "The police station i need to talk to the detective...."
"Dont do something stupid Christopher...." She said giving me a stern look. "I won't ma, besides what can i do i am in a police station...." She nodded and grabbed her car keys handing them to me. My car was still at Flo's house and i didn't want to interrupt the scene where officers where still working.
I arrived at the police station and asked to speak to the detective and after waiting for a few minutes he came and took me to his office. I saw the file laying open on his desk. "Is it of any help?" I asked.
He sighed. "It will help for sure we are treating it as a break in though, since no one was home we can't charge him for anything else right now.... Unless Ms. Summers wants to press charges for this...." He said pointing to the file.
"I will talk with her about it i dont know what she wants though...." I said letting out a sigh. "I know it wasn't what you wanted to hear..." The detective said... "But the DA doesn't want to take the risk of him walking and just focus on what we can proof for sure. With him being a public figure and you being a public figure it's going to be a high-profile case and the DA wants to make sure everything is going by the book...."
I nodded. "Has he said anything?" I asked. The detective shook his head. "No, he hasn't said anything, but he also hasn't asked for a lawyer yet... Even though we informed him of his right. The only phone call he made was to his dad and it didn't go as expected his father informed him that he was not helping him anymore...."
"Well, that is at least something..." I said sighing. "What i know about Jackson is that he is not liked by my fellow actors, and they all worked with him as Mr. William Price put people up to hiring him. William Price is well respected, and people would put up with Jackson for him...." I explained. The detective nodded.
"Can i talk to Jackson?" I asked. The detective hesitated for a moment. "I will be in the room, and you have to know it will be taped...." I nodded. "That is fine... I have nothing to hide."
We walked to the interrogation room he was held at for now. The detective walked in first not getting a reaction from Jackson. His head shot up when he saw me walk in. "Well, well, well look what the cat dragged in." Jackson said the same grin on his face as the day he stood at Flo's door. I took a deep breath calming myself, dont let him get to you i thought to myself.
"Jackson..." I said acknowledging him keeping my tone of voice cold and distant. "What do you want Evans...?" Jackson said rolling his eyes. "I want to know why... I want to know why you are so hell bend on making Flo's life miserable. Why after everything you had to come here and turn her world upside down again. Destroying her house, the only pictures she had of her parents or destroying the paintings of her mother. Wasn't it enough the things that you already did...?"
"Why do you care Evans?" He said smirking. "She is only waiting to trade you in for something better. Someone richer and more famous. She is just a gold-digging whore...." The detective said nothing just letting us speak and Jackson digging a grave for himself.
"She doesn't deserve to be happy. She turned my father against me...." Jackson said.
"That is where you are wrong... you did that... You made her life hell when you were together. Abusing her... beating her and dont deny it... I have seen the pictures she documented everything...." I told him and for a moment he looked shocked.
"She deserved it..." Jackson spat at me. "She is a worthless piece of shit that deserved everything she got. She was just a useless woman who needed to be taught a lesson...."
"If she is so worthless and useless why go through the trouble? Why not be glad that she is gone. Why show up at her house and telling her you were there to take her home. You dont think she worthless... You just had to control her because you knew she would figure out you are a poor excuse for a man who had nothing to offer her... You just can't handle the fact that she realized this herself and left. Let alone that you can't handle her being happy again because why would you only show up after we were photographed by paparazzi...." I paused for a moment letting him think about it.
"Well i am here to tell you... you won't win... I love her and i will give her the life she deserves, and you can life with the fact that you will just be a distant memory...."
"You think you won...?" He grinned. "She will never feel safe in that house again every time she will set foot in that house, she will think of me. I will be forever on her mind..." He looked like pure evil saying that.
I chuckled. "That is where you are wrong Jackson... She is a lot stronger than you give her credit for. Besides she won't be alone... She has me and my family and we will do everything we can to help her. We all love her and make sure that she is happy. I am going to marry her some day and i want to thank you...." Now i was the one smirking.
Jackson looked at me confused. "For what?" He asked and i smirked again. "As much as i despised what you did to her.... It led her to Boston and for us to meet... She is the love of my life and i won't let you ruin that. I am going to make her happy as much as she makes me happy. This situation is just a little hick up that will make us stronger. She will give me beautiful kids and will be the best mother any child has seen and in some sick way i have you to thank for that and so for that... thank you...."
He was now seething with anger and i looked at the detective nodding signaling i was ready to go. I had said what i wanted to. When i turned my back, we heard a loud noise and Jackson attacked me. I pushed him off of me having him stumble and fall down. "See... that is how pathetic you are only attacking me as i turn my back... Ambushing me.... Not even man enough to do it face to face...." I chuckle and walk out the door.
"Thank you for that...." I said to the detective. "No Thank you..." He said smirking. "You got more out of him and a confession for the break in. And if Ms. Summers decide to press charges for abusing her, we will have enough proof for that to...." I nodded and shook his hand before going home promising that we would be in tomorrow to make a statement.
