Street Justice Chap. 4

When Katlain arrives back at her cousin’s place. She parks her car in front of the garage her cousin’s keeps their Bugatti in. They don’t let anyone drive them, not even her.

She picks Katherine up out of her car seat, along with the diaper bag and walk towards the house. She wanted to look at the information she retrieved from the onboard computer system. She uses her electronic key to enter her cousin’s place.

Katlain heads upstairs to her bedroom to look at the thumb drive. She brought the data reader with her. She could tell it was a custom job. It didn’t look like any that she owned.

Katlain lays Katherine down in her crib and pull out her laptop, from her computer bag. She turns the laptop on and enter her passcode. She plugs the thumb drive in and bring up the program she uses to access the data. She scans the routes and none of them seemed to be out of the ordinary. Most of the deliveries were standard contracts her husband had with different companies.

While she is scanning the thumb drive, her cellphone beeps, alerting her to a new text. She stops what she is doing and looks at her cell phone. She notices that text was from Billy Jack. He was a friend of her husband’s. He was letting her know that Casey Knoxs and her husband were found dead at Stocker’s Truck Stop this morning.

The text had a link to a photo one of the truckers took. She clicks on the link and saw several police cars and coroner there. The photo showed the bodies covered up as they were taken out of the cab, but when she enlarged the picture. There was blood dripping out of the cab.

She knew Casey Knoxs and her husband. She met them when she traveled with her husband last spring. She took some time off from work and traveled with her husband with Katherine. She ask Billy Jack to let her know when the funeral is and that she is willing to donate money to the family.

Katlain goes back to examining the data on the thumb drive. She switches over to the secret data she downloaded. She notices there were several unauthorized routes her husband went. She checks the GPS coordinates to where the routes lead to. The places seemed to be ordinary houses, a few farms, and a few warehouses that could hide the semi inside without any problems.

All of them were out of state, so she would have to take time off from work to drive out to the nearest one. As for the assassin that attack her husband and the one, she found in her husband’s truck. She needs to track who they were and why they came after her husband and did they have anything to do with the death of Casey Knoxs and her husband.

She looks over towards Katherine and notices her little girl fell asleep. She really needs to bring her bouncy chair so her daughter can have some fun. Since Katherine was asleep, Katlain leaves her bedroom to see if her cousins were still home or if they went to their night club.

Katlain checks the house, and ask some of the maids if her cousins are home, but learn they left with her cousin. She couldn’t leave Katherine by herself in the house. There were days she hated the fact she was a mother. However, there were also days, she wouldn’t trade being a mother for all the tea in China.

She needs to find out who the assassin was. Katlain sends a text to her friend Rat. He had connections she didn’t. Normally, she would use Red, but he wasn’t available right now.

Since Katherine was upstairs asleep, she walks into the kitchen and make herself some lunch. She knew it might take Rat some time to get back to her. While Katlain is fixing some lunch, the casket company she used calls to informed her that they have to have the casket she selected brought in.

Katlain tells them that is fine, because the medical examiner wanted a little extra time. It seemed the morgue was a little backed up. She hangs up after that and hopes Rat gets back to her soon.

The Black Orchid Club:
Keli was amazed when she walked into her uncle’s club. She has never been in her uncle’s club before. She was too young to be allowed the last time she was here.

“So, what do you think of it, Keli?” Taylor and Traver look at their niece.

“It looks really nice. I bet you guys do a lot of business.” Keli looks at her uncle’s.

“We do pretty good. How are the clubs out in St. Louis?” Traver looks at his niece.

“I don’t know uncle Traver. I was so busy trying to get my nursing degree, that I didn’t have time for anything else. When Mr. Knight hired me to look after him. I spent all my time taking care of him.”

“That’s what makes you such a good person, Keli.” Traver and Taylor were proud of their niece.

“Thank you.” Keli hugs her uncle’s.

The three of them head upstairs to Traver and Taylor’s office. They show Keli their office and have drinks brought up for them. Keli liked how her uncle’s office was decorated.

She wonders if her uncles can help her with the problem of Mr. Knight’s family taking her to court again.
