DIANE D The Musical Drama - Volume 1 - Part 2 Read online

Diane D is inside the office. She turns around towards the door then locks it. She turns back around towards the room and angrily goes to the desk as she gently holds and rubs the back of her head and neck again. She angrily picks up the telephone receiver. She speaks into the receiver and says, “Hello, who is this?”

  “Hello, my name is Candis,” Candis says from the other end as she speaks into her cell phone. “I’m calling this organization again because I still want to make a complaint about Diane D trying to meet up with my boyfriend Jonathan at Newark Airport yesterday! I want to speak to Miss Margarita or Miss Mary about it! I also want to speak to Diane D herself about it! Let me speak to Diane D right now!”

  “Speaking!”

  “Is this Diane D?!”

  “Yeah it’s me! Listen miss, let me tell you something! I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about! I never tried to meet up with anybody at Newark Airport!”

  “Yes you did! I saw Jonathan’s text message that was sent to his cousin Benny to give to you, so you can meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport before his flight left for Jamaica yesterday!”

  “I didn’t meet up with anybody at Newark Airport yesterday!”

  “You were probably planning to!”

  “No I wasn’t! Look Miss, I am tired of you and all the other women calling here with this nonsense and bullshit! Don’t ever call here again you got that?! Stop calling this organization bugging my family about me!”

  “I’ll stop calling that organization bugging your family about you if you stay the hell away from Jonathan!”

  “Why should I stay away from Jonathan? He‘s just a friend!”

  “Well he’s my man!”

  “Well he might be your man, but you know what? If I really want to take Jonathan away from you, I can.”

  “What! Why you! You! You stay the hell away from Jonathan you hear me?! You just stay away from him, he’s my fiance! We’re getting married!”

  “What? You and Jonathan are getting married?”

  “That‘s right, we‘re getting married!”

  “Well if Jonathan is going to marry you, I think he’s making a big mistake.”

  “You think he’s making a big mistake if he marries me?”

  “Yes!”

  “Why do you think that?”

  “Because I think I’m the woman he really needs.”

  “What! Why you! You! How can you say that to me?! How dare you say that to me!”

  “How dare you call this organization complaining to my family about me! How dare you call here yesterday complaining about me trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport?! You had my entire family upset with me last night! You had my mom, and my grandma constantly on my ass, fussing with me all night! You even caused my mom to hit me!”

  “Oh I did? I caused your mommy to hit you?”

  “Yes you did! My mom got so angry at me that she hit me right in the back of my head and neck! I’m still in pain from that because of you!”

  “Oh really?”

  “Really!”

  “Well too bad, it‘s good for you! You deserve it! I’m glad your mom hit you and I hope she hits you again! I should keep calling there complaining about you just so that your mom and your grandma can stay on your ass and just so your mom can whack you upside your head again!”

  “What! You hope my mom whack me upside my head again?!”

  “That’s right!”

  “Listen, I’m warning you, don’t ever call here again! Don’t bother my family again! Leave my family alone!”

  “No I won’t leave your family alone because you won‘t leave Jonathan alone! I won’t stop calling your family! You didn’t have a right to say what you just said to me! You didn’t have the right at all! You have your own husband! I should call there again and let him know about this! I should come meet you face to face so I can straighten you out!”

  “I’m going to straighten you out!”

  “Oh yeah? Well we can straighten each other out right now!”

  “Good, because I’m going to straighten your ass out real good!”

  “Oh yeah?”

  “Yeah! Since you’re the one who’s calling here and caused my mom to hit me, and you think that I deserve it and you’re glad about it, and you hope my mom whack me upside my head again, I am going to give you a taste of your own medicine!”

  “Give me a taste of my own medicine?! What do you mean?!”

  “I am going to whack you upside your head!”

  “What?! You’re going to whack me upside my head?!”

  “That’s right! I am going to hit you!”

  “You’re going to hit me?”

  “Yeah! I am going to beat your ass for calling this organization complaining about me, getting me into trouble with my family and causing my mom to hit me!”

  “You’re going to beat my ass? How are you going to do that? You don’t know me! You don’t know how I look like! You don’t even know where I am right now and you don’t even know where I live! If you think you can find me and know where I am right now, then bring it!”

  “Oh I am going to bring it alright, because I am going to come right over to where you live right now and beat your ass in the parking lot right behind your apartment building!”

  “Come right over to where I live and beat my ass in the parking lot behind my apartment building? Wait a minute! How do you know I live in an apartment building? You’ve never seen or met me before! I could be living in a house! How do you know I live in a building?! How do you know my apartment building has a parking lot behind it? Not all apartment buildings have parking lots behind them! How would you know which person in the area is going to be me anyway, you don’t know how I look like! How do you even know I’m at home right now?”

  “Because I know!”

  “You do?! How many floors does my apartment building have?”

  “Your apartment building has six floors!”

  “Six floors?! Oh my God you already know of me! You already know who I am! You probably already know how I look like!”

  “And most likely you already know how I look like, so therefore you won‘t have any problem spotting me when I arrive there ready to beat your ass in the parking lot behind your apartment building!” Diane D angrily slams the phone down. She turns and rushes to the back door. She unlocks the door, opens it and hurries out into the hallway quietly closing the door behind herself.

  Diane D hurries down the hallway towards another room and goes into it.

  Diane D enters a storage room where there are boys’ sporting outfits and boys’ sport uniforms hanging. There are baseball bats, baseball gloves, baseball uniforms and other sport gears on the side. Diane D quickly goes and grabs one of the baseball bats! She turns around to the door and leaves out of the storage room with the baseball bat quietly closing the door behind herself.

  Diane D looks down the hallway towards the corner that goes towards the lobby. She turns the other way and hurries down the other end of the hallway to the back exit door carrying the baseball bat. She opens the back exit door and hurries out of it slamming the door behind herself!

  Diane D‘s family is still in the other hallway around the corner. They puzzled look at each other as Nicolas says, “Did I just hear the back door slam?”

  “It sure sounded like it,” Barry says. “Let’s go see what’s going on.” Barry, Nicolas and the rest of Diane D’s family and everyone else turn and hurry down the hallway. Brenda tries to follow but Patrick, Norman and Harvey hold her back as Harvey says, “I’m sorry you can’t go back there. We cannot allowed outsiders of the organization to go past this point.” Brenda sadly looks at Harvey as she folds her arms. She, Harvey, Patrick and Norman turn their heads and look down the hallway at Diane D’s family as Diane D’s family turn around the corner into another hallway disappearing out of sight.

  Diane D’s family rush down the other hallwa
y towards the office door. They approach the office door and try to open it. It is locked, they cannot get in. Barry bangs on the door and shouts, “Diane! Diane! Diane!” Barry turns to his family and says, “She’s not answering. I think she might have snuck out the back door. Come on!” Barry turns and hurries down the hall as his family, Alex and Stephanie hurry behind him.

  Diane D is in the parking lot outside of a dark blue car with the back door open as she angrily throws the baseball bat into the back seat of the car. She slams the back seat door then opens the driver’s door and jumps into the driver’s seat! She shuts the driver’s door then turns on the engine! She backs the car up then pulls off speeding and screeching her car towards the parking lot exit!

  Barry and the rest of his family rush into the parking lot. They hurry after Diane D’s car trying to go after her car as they shout, “Diane! Where are you going?”

  “Diane!” Margarita shouts.

  “Diane!” Mary shouts. Diane D speeds and screeches her car into the street as Mary and the rest of her family run to follow her car!

  “Diane!” Mary shouts.

  “Diane!” Tomas shouts.

  Diane D’s car turns, speeds and screeches down the street as other cars come to a quick stop and screech to avoid hitting it.

  Diane’s family stop running and look on stunned as Tomas shouts, “Where the hell is she going?!”

  “I don’t know!” Barry shouts. “She was just on the phone with Jonathan’s girlfriend Candis, then we heard the back door slamming! Now she’s speeding out of here like a demon out of hell! I think she’s going to meet up with this Candis!”

  “Yeah Dad, I think so too,” Nicolas says. “I think something is about to go down between those two! I think we should try to follow her Dad!”

  “Yeah come on let’s go!” Barry and the rest of his family turn and hurry to two passenger vans. Barry gets into the driver’s seat of one of the vans as Mary, Margarita, Mickey and the Dianettes get into the same van. Nicolas gets into the driver’s seat of another van as Tomas and other relatives get into the same van. They quickly start up the engines. They speed the vans towards the parking lot exit. They then speed the vans out of the parking lot then turn into the street.

  Way across town, Candis hysterically rushes down the first floor hallway of her apartment building with tears in her eyes as she holds a large empty flower vase in her hand.

  Candis enters the lobby with the empty flower vase as she heads towards the front door. A medium built black man around his mid 40’s and a shorter chubby black woman with short hair around her mid 40’s puzzled look at Candis as Candis is about to hysterically rush past them. “Candis?” the man says. “Are you alright Candis?” Candis continues to rush past the man and woman ignoring them. The man quickly turns around and grabs Candis. He stops Candis and quickly turns her around towards him and says, “Candis are you alright?”

  “Let go of me,” Candis cries. “Let me go!”

  “What’s wrong?”

  “What’s the matter!” the woman asks.

  “It’s Diane D!” Candis shouts.

  “Diane D?” the man and woman say.

  “Yes!”

  “What are you talking about Diane D?” the man says. “You mean Diane D from the Diaz-Davidson Organization?”

  “Yes, her!”

  “Well what about her?”

  “What happened?” the woman asks.

  “She threatened to come over here and beat me up!” Candis shouts.

  “What!” the man and woman say.

  “Diane D threatened to come over here and beat me up!”

  “Diane D from the Diaz-Davidson Organization threatened to come over here and beat you up?” the man asks.

  “Yes!”

  “Wait a minute, slow down Candis! What do you mean Diane D from the Diaz-Davidson Organization threatened to come here and beat you up? Why would she want to come beat you up anyway? What happened?”

  “We had an argument over the telephone a little while ago about my boyfriend Jonathan! I called Diane D’s family’s organization yesterday and spoke to a staff member! I accused Diane D of trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport before Jonathan flew off to Jamaica!”

  “You accused Diane D of trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport before he flew off to Jamaica?”

  “Yeah!”

  “Do Diane D and Jonathan know each other?”

  “He’s sending text messages for her!”

  “Isn’t Jonathan the same guy Diane D disappeared with and then they were both found drugged in the woods?”

  “I don’t know, Jonathan told me it wasn’t him!”

  “He told you it wasn’t him?”

  “Yes, he said it was a different guy! When I called Diane D’s family’s organization today, Diane D herself came on the phone this time and I spoke to her on the telephone! She told me to stop calling the organization bugging her family about her! She said she’s tired of me and all the other women calling there with this nonsense and told me not to ever call there again! I told Diane D I’ll stop calling that organization bugging her family about her if she stays the hell away from Jonathan! Then she told me Jonathan’s just a friend! Then I told her well he’s my man, then you know what she told me?! She told me that Jonathan might be my man, but if she really wants to take him away from me, she can!”

  “What!” the man and woman say.

  “She told you that?” the woman asks.

  “Yeah she told me that!” Candis cries. “I told her to stay the hell away from Jonathan! I told her that he’s my fiance and that we’re getting married! She sounded shock when I told her that! Then she told me that if Jonathan is going to marry me, she thinks he’s making a big mistake! I asked her why she thinks that! She told me because she thinks she’s the woman he really needs!”

  “What!” the man and woman say.

  “Diane D told you that she thinks she’s the woman Jonathan really needs?” the woman asks.

  “Yes!” Candis cries. “I told her how dare she say that to me! Then she told me how dare I call the organization complaining to her family about her trying to meet up with Jonathan at Newark Airport?! She said I had her entire family upset with her, causing her mom and her grandma to fuss with her all night and said I caused her mom to hit her!”

  “Her mom hit her?” the man asks.

  “That‘s what she said!”

  “And she’s saying you’re the cause of it?”

  “Yeah! I told her too bad her mom hit her, that it‘s good for her! I told her she deserve it! I told her I’m glad her mom hit her then told her I hope her mom hits her again! I told Diane D that I should keep calling there complaining about her just so that her mom and her grandma can stay on her ass and have her mom hit her again!”

  “What! You told Diane D all that?”

  “I sure did! Then she told me, don’t ever call there again and told me not to bother her family again and to leave her family alone! I told her ‘no I won’t leave her family alone that I won’t stop calling them‘!”

  “What! Oh Candis, I don’t think you should have said all of that to Diane D.”

  “Why not?! What about what she said to me?! Telling me that if she really wants to take Jonathan away from me, she can, then telling me she thinks she’s the woman Jonathan really needs! She didn’t have a right to say that! I got so angry when she said that to me, I told her that I should come meet her face to face so I can straighten her out! Then she told me she’s going to straighten me out!”

  “What? You mean she challenged you?”

  “Yeah she challenged me! Then I told her well we can straighten each other out right now! Then she told me good, because she’s going to straighten me out real good! She told me since I’m the one who caused her mom to hit her and that I think she deserve it and since I’m glad about it, she said she’s going to give me a ta
ste of my own medicine and said she’s going to hit me!”

  “What!” the man and woman say.

  “Diane D said she’s going to hit you!” the man asks. “She threatened you?”

  “Yeah she threatened me!” Candis shouts. “She told me she’s going to beat my ass for calling the organization, getting her family upset with her and causing her mom to hit her!”

  “My god.”

  “I asked her how is she going to do that, she doesn’t know me! I told her she doesn’t know how I look like! I told her she doesn’t know where I am right now and she doesn’t know where I live! I told her if she thinks she can find me and know where I am right now then bring it! Then she told me she’s going to bring it, because she’s going to come right over to where I live right now and beat my ass in the parking lot right behind my apartment building!”

  “What!” the man and woman say.

  “Diane D threatened to come right over to where you live and beat your ass in the parking lot right behind this apartment building?” the man asks.

  “Yeah!” Candis shouts. “She‘s blaming me for her mom hitting her and now she’s after me for it! That’s why she’s on her way over here!”

  “Wait a minute Candis! Has Diane D ever seen or met you before?”

  “No, not that I know of! I’ve seen her before when Jonathan and I go to see her family’s shows and concerts and we see her performing on stage with the Dianettes, but I’ve never met her personally and she’s never seen me or met me personally either!”

  “Well if Diane D has never seen you or met you before and she‘s coming over here to assault you, then how do she know where you live?”

  “I don’t know! I didn‘t tell her!”

  “If she‘s never seen or met you before, how would she even know which person in this area is going to be you? Especially if she doesn’t know how you look like?”

  “I don’t know, I have no idea of that either!”

  “How did Diane D even know you were at home right now Candis, you could have called her family‘s organization from anywhere! Did you call her family’s organization from your house phone?”

  “No, I called there through my cell phone!”

  “But you can call through your cell phone from anywhere! How did Diane D knew you were calling through your cell phone from your apartment? It sounds like Diane D already knows of you Candis! It sounds like Diane D already knows who you are! Most likely, she already knows how you look like! It sounds like Diane D already knew about you way before your phone conversation with her took place! How else would she know exactly where to come look for you Candis? You didn‘t tell her where you live and you certainly didn‘t tell her that you were at home!” Candis nervously looks at the man. The man then says, “I still don’t understand how Diane D knows about you or knows where you live if she supposedly never seen or met you before. Candis, does Diane D know that Jonathan stays here with you whenever he comes to New York?”

  “No she doesn‘t know that.”

  “How do you know she doesn’t know?” Candis nervously looks at the man then becomes suspicious. The man then asks, “Has Diane D ever seen you with Jonathan?”

  “Not that I know of.”

  “Candis, when you and Jonathan go to see Diane D’s family’s concerts and watch Diane D perform on stage, does Diane D see Jonathan in the audience or knows that he’s there?”

  “I don’t know. The audience be packed with thousands of people. I don’t know if Diane D is able to spot Jonathan in an audience packed with thousands of people.”

  “When you and Jonathan go to see Diane D’s family’s concerts, where do you two usually sit or stand at, in the front, back or somewhere in the middle?”

  “We usually would get seats up in the very front row.”

  “The first row?”

  “Yeah the first row. That’s where Jonathan always like to sit. He always insists on sitting in the very first row whenever we go to see Diane D‘s family‘s shows.”

  “Well Candis, if you and Jonathan are always sitting in the very first row whenever you two go to see Diane D’s family’s shows, most likely Diane D spots Jonathan in the front row while she’s on stage. It’s easy for a person that’s on the stage to spot individuals who are in the very first row. Candis, you think Diane D might have spotted you in the audience with Jonathan?”

  “I don’t know. I don’t know if she even notices me in the audience.”

  “Candis, since you say Diane D and Jonathan know each other since he‘s sending text messages for her, do you think that Diane D might have somehow know about you or know where you live because maybe somehow Jonathan might have brought her around here before while he be staying here with you?”

  “Not that I know of.”

  “Wasn’t Diane D in jail before?”

  “Yes she was. Now that part I know.”

  “Everybody knows about that,” the woman says.

  “Wasn’t Diane D the one who got out of control, the time she attacked and beat up those security guards and those police officers and wind up putting a few of them in the hospital?” the man asks.

  “Yep she‘s the one,” Candis says.

  “Wasn’t her two brothers on that TV Show interview with a security guard and a correction officer, talking about the day Diane D got out of control?”

  “Yep her brothers, a security guard and a correction officer were on that show talking about it! I watched that show!”

  “I watched that show too,” the woman says.

  “A lot of viewers watched that show,” the man says. “Didn’t the Correction Officer who was on that TV Show interview that day talked about the hard time he and the other correctional officers had with Diane D when they first tried to lock her up? Didn’t he said that they had a hard time putting and keeping Diane D inside that jail cell because she kept trying to attack them?”

  “Yeah that’s what they said.”

  “Yeah I remember them saying that too,” Candis says.

  “Didn’t he say how frightened the experience was because Diane D was so out of control, she had the strength of a wild animal or beast and behaved like a wild animal or beast?” the man asks.

  “Yeah he did say that.”

  “And now Diane D is on her way over here to get out of control and attack you as well.”

  “Well that’s why I got this vase with me, because if she lays one finger or kung fu kick on me, I swear I am going to let her have it with this vase!” Candis shouts as she holds up and shakes the vase.

  “No Candis, you shouldn’t take this matter into your own hands!”

  “Why not?! Diane D is the one who’s coming over here! She’s coming over here to assault me, why shouldn’t I use this vase on her?!”

  “Because you don‘t know what weapon she might be carrying!”

  “We all already know what weapons Diane D carries! She carries her legs and feet! She uses them as weapons! She used them as weapons when she kung fu kicked those security guards in the groin, landing a few of them in the hospital! From what I heard the security guard and that correction officer said on that TV interview, Diane D’s legs and feet are weapons!”

  “Candis, are you sure Diane D is coming over here?” the woman asks. “Was she really serious when she said on the phone that she’s coming here?”

  “Yes she was serious, I could hear it in her voice! She meant what she said! I think she’s really coming here!”

  “Well Candis,” the man says, “since Diane D is on her way over here and will most likely get out of control if she finds you, you should call the police on her and you should call the police on her right now!”

  “I’ll call the police,” the woman says.

  “Candis, how is Diane D getting over here anyway? Is she driving?”

  “Probably,” Candis says.

  “You know what type of car she drives?”

  “I think Jonathan and I an
d the rest of the crowd saw her driving away in a dark blue car a few times after her family‘s concert was over.”

  “You saw her driving away in a dark blue car?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Well that doesn’t tell us much Candis, we need a better description of her vehicle. What make or model was the car you saw Diane D driving in before? What year was it?”

  “I don’t really know.”

  “You have to try to think Candis. Think hard so the police can know what vehicle to look for when we call them up.”

  “Okay I‘ll try.” Candis closes her eyes and thinks.

  The man turns to the woman and tells her, “Get ready to dial the police.” The woman gets on her cell phone and gets ready to dial a number as she and the man worriedly look at Candis.

  Inside the van, Barry is behind the wheel driving as Diane D’s family look out the windows for Diane D's vehicle. “Which way did she go?!” Mary shouts.

  “Can you still see her car Barry?” Margarita asks.

  “Yeah I can still see her car!” Barry says. “She went into the highway!”

  “The highway?!” Margarita and Mary shout.

  “Yeah!”

  Diane D’s car speeds down the highway as Barry’s van and Nicolas’ van speed down the highway after it!

  Back inside the lobby of Candis’ apartment building, Candis, the man and the woman continue to wait around as the woman tells Candis, “The police should be here any minute.”

  “Thanks,” Candis says.

  “Are you sure that was the correct year, make and model of Diane D’s car Candis?” the man asks.

  “I think so. If not, it‘s the closes description I can think of!”

  “Okay. I think we should go and stand at the back door so we can look out the parking lot and see what’s going on.”

  “Yeah you’re right,” the woman says.

  “Come on Candis, let’s go.” The man turns and leads Candis and the woman into a door leading to the stairwell area.

  The man, Candis and the woman arrive at the back door inside the building. The man turns to Candis and the woman and says, “I’m gonna take a little peek at the parking lot and see if I see anything.” The man turns towards the back door. He slightly opens the back door. He takes a peek out the backdoor and looks at the parking lot.

  “You see any dark blue car coming?” the woman asks.

  “No, I don’t see anything suspicious coming. Come take a look.” Candis and the woman go and hold the back door slightly open as the man moves aside. They take a peek out the backdoor and look out at the parking lot. They see the parking lot is half full of cars as the wind blows against the trees. Candis and the woman continue to peek out the back door. “Do y’all see anything?” the man asks.

  “No,” the woman says. “We don’t see anything either.” The woman and Candis close the back door and step back in towards the man.

  The man then says, “Now Candis, are you sure Diane D is really on her way over here? Because I don’t want this to be a false alarm if she’s not really on her way over here.”

  “Well she said she was going to come over here,” Candis says. “Those were her last words before she slammed the phone down.”

  “Okay.” The man and woman worriedly look at Candis and pat her shoulders as Candis worriedly turns away from them. Sirens are suddenly heard. Candis, the man and the woman become stunned and look at each other. “Here come the sirens,” the man says. The man, woman and Candis turn towards the back door. They step to the back door. The man opens the back door. He turns to Candis and the woman and says, “Y’all stay here. I’m going to see what’s going on.”

  “Okay,” the woman says. The man turns forward and rushes out the back door. The back door closes behind him. Candis and the woman slightly open the back door and worriedly take a peek out of it as they look at the parking lot.

  Diane D’s car speeds up onto a ramp out of the highway. The two vans speed up onto the ramp out of the highway after it!

  Candis and the woman continue to peek out the back door worriedly looking out at the parking lot as the wind blows against the trees.

  Diane D’s car exits the highway and speeds down the street! The two vans exit the highway and speed down the street after it!

  Candis and the woman continue to peek out the back door worriedly looking out at the parking as the wind continues to blow against the trees.

  Diane D’s car turns down another street and speeds down the street! The two vans turn down another street and speeds down the street after it! Diane D’s car speeds right towards the parking lot behind Candis’ apartment building. It speeds right to the parking lot entrance as two police cars speed to the parking lot entrance first blocking Diane D’s car. Diane D’s car comes to a screeching halt and quickly stops at the two police cars as two other police cars race to the sides of it. The police officers rush out of their car and rush to Diane D’s car and shout, “Get out the car! Get out the car now!”

  The two vans pull up behind Diane D’s car and the police cars. Diane D’s family, relatives and the Dianettes rush out the two vans and rush to Diane D’s car and the police officers as Mary shouts, “Hold on!”

  “Hold on officers!” Margarita shouts.

  “She’s with us!” Barry shouts.

  “Yeah she’s with us!” Tomas shouts. Diane D’s family, relatives, the Dianettes and the police officers surround Diane D’s car as the man and several bystanders stand on the side looking on.

  Twenty minutes later, Candis and the woman are still standing in the back doorway looking way out at the exit and entrance of the parking lot. They see a several police cars and flashing lights. They see the man hurrying back towards the back door. The man reaches the back door. Candis and the woman open the back door and the man rushes inside. He turns to them and says, “They got her!”

  “They got her?” Candis asks.

  “The police got Diane D?” the woman asks.

  “Yeah, the police got Diane D!” the man says. “They surrounded her car when her car showed up!”

  “They surrounded her car,” the woman asks. “Did they arrest her?”

  “Yeah they arrested her! They took her out of her car and handcuffed her!”

  “They handcuffed her?” Candis asks.

  “Yeah!”

  “Oh my goodness.”

  “Her family also showed up!”

  “Her family showed up too?” Candis and the woman ask.

  “Yeah! They’re out there with the Dianettes!”

  “The Dianettes are out there too!” Candis asks.

  “Yep! They and Diane D’s family pulled up in two vans right behind Diane D’s car when her car showed up here!”

  “Oh yeah? What are her family and the Dianettes doing out there? She brought all of them with her?”

  “No they all followed her here!”

  “They followed her here?” the woman asks. “How come?”

  “I heard they all got suspicious of her when she left the organization so quickly, speeding away in her car.”

  “She sped off from the organization?” Candis asks.

  “Yeah! Boy Candis you were right, Diane D was on her way to the parking lot just like you said, and she was driving a dark blue car just like you said!”

  “See I told you!”

  “You sure did! It’s a good thing we called the police on Diane D Candis because she was speeding right to the parking lot like a demon before the cops sped to the parking lot entrance first and blocked her!”

  “She was speeding to the parking lot?”

  “Hell yeah.”

  “That was the screech we heard?”

  “Y’all heard her car screech?”

  “Yeah we heard a car screeching,” the woman says. “We heard it all the way from inside here.”

  “Well her family said she sped all the way over here from their organization!”
>
  “She sped all the way here from her family’s organization?!” Candis asks.

  “Yeah and she would have sped right into the parking lot and looked for you Candis if the cops weren‘t there to block her and stop her!”

  Candis worriedly looks at the man.

  “Boy Candis,” the woman says. “Diane D must have really wanted to get you bad, didn’t she?” Candis worriedly looks at the woman.

  “And it’s a good thing the cops were there Candis,” the man says, “because when they surrounded Diane D’s car and took her out of it, they found a baseball bat right in the back seat!”

  “What!” Candis and the woman shout.

  “They found a baseball bat in her back seat?!” Candis asks.

  “Yeah!” the man says.

  “What in the world is Diane D doing with a baseball bat in her car?” the woman asks.

  “Obviously she was planning to use that baseball bat on something or someone. See what I told you Candis? You don’t know what weapon Diane D might be carrying.”

  “How do you know that baseball bat was intended for me?” Candis nervously asks. “Maybe Diane D always has that baseball bat in her car. A lot of women drivers might carry something for protection when they drive alone.”

  “Nobody knows what that baseball bat in Diane D’s car was intended for Candis, nobody knows for sure what it was doing in the back seat of her car, but we shouldn’t wait around to find out, should we?” Candis worriedly looks at the man. The man then says, “Candis, if Diane D is gonna do something like this, maybe you should try to get an Order of Protection against her.”

  “Get an Order of Protection against her? Would I really have to go that far?”

  “Would you really have to go that far? Candis, Diane D knows where you live! She threatened you over the telephone, then she speeds all the way over here right from her family‘s organization with a baseball bat in her car! I mean for a person you claim has never seen or met you before, she knew exactly where to come find you if the cops weren’t there to block her in time!”

  “My god, does Diane D really want to get me that bad, over Jonathan?”

  “I don’t know if it’s just over Jonathan Candis. You said Diane D does blame you for getting her family upset with her and causing her mom to hit her. You did say she‘s after you because of it.” Candis worriedly looks at the man. The man then says, “Come on Candis, the police are taking Diane D into custody and they’re going to need you to come to the station to file a complaint.” Candis nervously looks at the man.

  Thirty minutes later, Mary, Margarita, Barry, Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Mickey and the Dianettes wait in the lobby of the police station. A white male police officer comes through the lobby leading a medium height black female police officer and a shorter white female officer towards the back. He turns to them and says, “We brought Miss Diane D in already. She‘s in the back.”

  “Okay,” the black female officer says.

  Mary, Margarita, Barry, Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Mickey and the Dianettes anxiuosly approach the police officers as the male officer turns to them. “What’s going on officer?” Mary asks.

  “Miss Diaz-Davidson, these female officers are gonna frisk your daughter Diane D to make sure she has no weapons hidden on her,” the male officer says.

  “Oh yeah? Well I want to be in the room while you’re frisking her.”

  “So do I,” Margarita says. “We want to make sure nobody plants anything on Diane and claim they found it on her.”

  “We’re not going to do anything like that ma’am,” the male officer says. “But if it makes you feel better, come right ahead, no problem, but only a few of you can come in the room while Miss Diane D is getting frisked.”

  “I’ll go in there with her,” Mary says.

  “So will I,” says Margarita.

  “I’m going in there too,” Barry says.

  “Okay,” the male officer says. He turns to everybody else and says, “The rest of you have to wait out here.”

  Barry turns to the rest of his family and tells them, “We’ll be right out.”

  “Okay Barry,” Tomas says. The police officers turn and go towards the back area of the police station as Mary, Margarita and Barry follow them. Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Mickey and the Dianettes stay behind looking on. They watch as the police officers, Mary, Margarita and Barry enter the back area and disappear around the corner.

  Inside the back room, the male police officer stands on one side of the room as Mary, Margarita and Barry stand on the other side of the room. The two female police officers stand in the center of the room behind Diane D as Diane D’s body faces a wall, leaning her left hand against the wall and her right hand pointing to the female officers shouting to them, “Dooon‘t fucking touch me!“

  “Don’t touch you?!” Barry shouts. “If you weren’t about to attempt an assault on somebody, you wouldn’t be here right now having these officers frisk you!”

  “But I wasn’t about to assault anyone Dad!”

  “Cierra la boca Diane!” Margarita shouts. “Pon tu mano en la pared y dejar que los policias frisk usted!”

  “But Grandma!”

  “Estar tranquilas Diane!” Mary shouts. “Cara a la pared, extiende tus pies y pon tu mano sobre la pared!” Diane D frustratingly turns and faces the wall as she spreads her legs and feet apart. Mary says to the female officers, “Go ahead and frisk her!”

  Diane D quickly turns her head to Mary and shouts, “I don’t want them touching me Mom!”

  “Usted debe haber pensado en eso antes de planificar a alguien asalto!”

  “I was not planning to assault anyone Mom!”

  “Callate Diane!” Margarita shouts. “Cara a la pared!” Diane D turns her face back to the wall. Margarita says to the female officers, “Frisk her now!”

  The black female officer says to Diane D, “Keep your feet spread ma’am!” The two female officers bend and start to pat down Diane D. Diane D becomes angry. She hisses. She suddenly removes her right hand from off the wall and quickly swings her right arm towards the female officers! The female officers quickly duck causing Diane D to miss them as Margarita, Mary, Barry and the male officer quickly approach Diane D with Margarita shouting, “Diane! Que estas haciendo?!”

  “Miss what do you think you’re doing?!” the male officer shouts.

  “You’re about to attack officers like you did before Diane?!” Barry shouts.

  “But Dad!” Diane D shouts.

  “That’s attempted assault on police officers again you know!” the male police officer shouts. “You seem to have a field day with attacking people of authority, don’t you Miss!”

  “Esta a punto de atacar a los agentes de policia en frente de nosotros Diane?!” Mary shouts.

  “But Mom!” Diane D shouts.

  “Como se atreve usted a intenta atacar a los policias Diane!” Margarita shouts.

  “But Grandma!”

  “Tranquilo Diane!” Mary shouts. “Pon tu mano sobre el muro y dejar que los policias frisk usted!” Diane D frustratingly pounds her right hand back on the wall. Mary turns to the female officers and shouts, “Continue to frisk her!”

  The female officers bend and quickly start to pat down Diane D again. Diane D becomes angry again. She hisses again. The female officers quickly finish patting down Diane D. They bend back up, turn to the male officer. “She’s clean,” the black female officer says. “She doesn’t have any weapons on her.”

  “Good,” the male officer says. Diane D removes her hands from off the wall. She turns her body to the right and stop. She then turns her head to her right and glares at the female officers. The female officers puzzled look at Diane D. The male officer approaches Diane D as Diane D looks at him. He says to her, “You know young lady, we’re gonna charge you a fine for attempted assault on police officers. If you had hit these officers, you would have had ‘assau
lt on police officer’ charges against you again. Come this way.” The male officer turns to Mary, Margarita and Barry and says, “We can go into the other room now where the other young lady is.” The male officer leads Diane D and her family out to the hallway.

  Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Mickey and the Dianettes continue to remain in the front lobby of the police station. The two female police officers come out of the back area. They approach Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Mickey and the Dianettes. “Well how did the frisk go officers?” Tomas asks.

  “We didn’t find any weapons hidden on her,” the black female officer says.

  “You didn’t?” Tonio asks.

  “No, but she‘s a tough one though.”

  “A tough one? What do you mean?”

  “At first she cursed at us and didn‘t want us to touch her. Then when we started to pat her down, she became angry and tried to take a swing at us.”

  “What!” Diane D’s family shout.

  “Diane tried to take a swing at you officers?” Tonio asks.

  “Yeah.”

  “In front of her mom, dad and grandma?” Tomas asks.

  “Yeah right in front of them. Her mom, dad and grandma approached her and hollered at her to put her hand on the wall. When she put her hand back on the wall again, that’s when we started to pat her down again. We’re planning to file attempted assault on police officer charges against her.”

  “Attempted assault on police officer charges?” Nicolas asks

  “Yeah. She‘s gonna have to pay a fine.”

  “Oh yeah?” Tomas says.

  “Yeah.”

  “Don’t worry we’ll have Diane pay the fine herself. We’re gonna have her work in the hospital for free and have her pay-check go into paying the fine. That’ll teach her.”

  “I hope so because I’m telling you, if her mom, dad and grandma weren‘t in the room to deal with her, we would have had a very hard time with her just like we heard those other police officers, those security guards and those correction officers in the jail had.”

  “Wow,” Tonio says.

  “But no weapons were found on her. Her car has to be searched now.”

  “Her car has to be searched?”

  “Yes.”

  “A few more of you can go to the other back room now,” the white female officer says.

  “Thank you officers,” Tomas says.

  “You’re welcome.” The two female officers turn and walk away.

  Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Mickey turn to the Dianettes. “We’ll be back girls,” Tomas says.

  “Okay Grandpa,” Nancy says. Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Mickey turn and head towards the backroom as the Dianettes remain behind looking on.

  Inside another back room of the police station, Tomas, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas and Mickey enter the back room. They see Diane D sitting on a chair on one corner of a long table as Candis sits on a chair on the opposite corner of the table. They see Mary, Margarita and Barry on the side standing at Diane D’s left and two male white officers at the end of the table standing near Candis. Tomas comes and stands beside Mary, Margarita and Barry as one of the officers says to Candis, “So Miss Candis let me get this straight. Yesterday, you called Miss Diane D’s family’s organization to complain to her family about her trying to meet up with your boyfriend Jonathan at Newark airport. Then today, you called up Miss Diane D’s family’s organization again to complain to her family about her, but this time, Miss Diane D herself gets on the phone, gets upset with you for calling her family’s organization to complain about her and you two had an argument over the telephone and threatened one another?”

  “I didn’t threaten her officer,” Candis says. “She’s the one who threatened me! She’s the one who threatened to come right over to where I live and beat me up in the parking lot right behind my apartment building!”

  “You threatened to beat me up!” Diane D shouts. “You’re the one who said you want to come meet me face to face so you can straighten me out, didn‘t you?!”

  “I meant straighten you out by telling you off! I didn‘t mean physical harm like you did!”

  “Listen Miss Diane D,” the first officer says. “You have an attempted assault and battery charge against you.”

  “An attempted assault and battery charge?!” Diane D shouts.

  “Yes! You attempted to assault and harm this woman with that baseball bat when you drove and sped all the way to the parking lot behind her apartment building!”

  “What! I wasn’t attempting to assault or harm anybody!”

  “Miss Diane D, did you threaten this woman over the telephone when she called your family‘s organization to complain about you? Did you tell her that you were going to come right over to where she lives and beat her up in the parking lot right behind her apartment building?!”

  “No, I never told her that! I don’t know what she’s talking about! Why would I tell her something like that anyway, I don‘t even know her!”

  “You don’t know her?”

  “Nope! Never seen her before in my life!”

  “You never seen her before in your life? You just said she threatened to beat you up! You just said she’s the one who said she wants to come meet you face to face so she can straighten you out! If you’re claiming that you’ve never seen this woman before in your life, how did this argument with her on the telephone came about then?”

  “That was an argument we had over the telephone weeks ago.”

  “Weeks ago?”

  “Yeah.”

  “She’s lying officer!” Candis says. “We had that argument over the telephone today, a little while ago!”

  “I still never saw her face yet!”

  “No?” the police officer says. “Miss Diane D, why did you drive and speed all the way to the parking lot behind this woman’s apartment building?”

  “I certainly didn’t come to that parking lot for her!”

  “You didn’t? Well that’s kind of strange because if you didn’t come to that parking lot for her, how did she and her neighbors knew that you were coming over there when they called us? When this young lady and her neighbors called us, they told us that you were on your way over there to the parking lot to beat her up! They told us they think you drive a dark blue car. When we got to the parking lot to sit and wait around for you, twenty minutes later, you showed up right to the parking lot in a dark blue car just like they said! Now is that a coincidence or what?”

  “It’s a coincidence officer.”

  “It is? How is it a coincidence Miss Diane D? How is it a coincidence?”

  “Because I came to that parking lot to meet a friend!”

  “You came to that parking lot to meet a friend? What friend?”

  “A friend I knew for a while.”

  “A friend you knew for a while? Well what is this friend’s name?”

  “This friend’s name is Ralph.”

  “Ralph?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Does your friend Ralph live in the same apartment building this young lady lives in? The apartment building with the parking lot behind it?”

  “No he doesn’t live there. That’s just where we were supposed to meet.”

  “Oh yeah? Why over there?”

  “That‘s the area he chose. Why he chose that area, don‘t ask.”

  “I still don’t understand how this young lady and her neighbors knew you were coming to that parking lot in a dark blue car if you’re saying you didn’t come to that parking lot for her, that you came there to meet someone else.”

  “Maybe word of my arrival coming in a dark blue car got around their neighborhood somehow and they heard about it. Maybe Ralph told somebody in that neighborhood that I was coming in a dark blue car and then that person told a third person, then that third person told a fourth person, then that fourth person told a fifth, so the information probably reached a hundred people. The inform
ation probably spread around their entire neighborhood like wildfire. You know how it is officer? That’s how this lady and her neighbors probably knew I was coming.”

  “No that’s not true officer!” Candis cries. “She’s lying!”

  “I am not lying!” Diane D turns to the officer and says, “Officer you know some of the things I do spread around in the neighborhoods and the communities like wildfire. It’s just happening again, that’s all.”

  “Oh my God, she’s lying officer! Y’all can’t see that?!”

  “Miss Diane D,” the officer says, “why were you speeding towards the parking lot like a demon, if you were just going there to meet this friend Ralph?”

  “I didn’t want to keep my friend Ralph waiting too long, that‘s all,” Diane D says.

  “Why didn’t you want to keep this certain friend Ralph waiting too long? Does Ralph owe you money or something like that?”

  “No it’s not that at all. I just don’t like to keep friends waiting for me. You know how impatient friends can be at times.”

  “So you’re going to speed and risk causing an accident, just so you won’t keep this friend Ralph waiting?”

  “I guess so because I know one thing, I don’t like to be kept waiting for my friends.”

  “She keeps lying officer!” Candis shouts. “I don’t know how she can just sit there and keep lying like this, especially with a straight face!”

  “That’s because I’m not lying Miss!”

  The officer turns to Candis and asks, “Miss Candis do you have any proof that Miss Diane D threatened you over the telephone? Are there any witnesses who heard Miss Diane D threatening you?”

  Candis hesitates. She then says, “No. I don’t have any witnesses.”

  “So far no one else besides yourself heard Miss Diane D threatening you.”

  “I guess not.”

  The officer turns back to Diane D and says, “Miss Diane D, why did you have that baseball bat in the back seat of your car?”

  “Oh that baseball bat has been inside my car for a week,” Diane D says.

  Mary, Margarita, Barry and Tomas suspiciously look Diane D then look at each other, then back at Diane D as the officer asks, “It has?” .

  “Yeah. I had left it there because I had a flat tire last week and I used the baseball bat to help me lift the car when I changed the tire.”

  “You used the baseball bat to help yourself lift the car when you changed a tire?”

  “Yeah,” Diane D says. Mary, Margarita, Barry and Tomas continue to suspiciously look at Diane D as Diane D says, “I just never got around to putting the baseball bat back out of my car, that‘s all.” Diane D nods her head to the police officers then takes a quick look at Candis then looks back at the police officers.

  Mary turns to the police officer and says, “Officer, could I have a quick word with my daughter in the next room please? We won’t go anywhere.”

  “No problem Ma’am,” the officer says. “Go right in there.”

  “Thank you.” Mary turns to Diane D and says, “Diane, can I have a word with you in private please.”

  “Why sure Mom,” Diane D says. Diane D gets up from the chair. She goes past Mary and heads to the next room as Mary turns and follows her.

  Diane D enters the next room as Mary follows behind her. Mary closes the door behind herself. Mary points to a chair and says, “Have a seat Diane.”

  “Sure Mom,” Diane D says as she goes to a chair. Diane D sits down on the chair and folds her arms. She then crosses her legs as she sits sarcastically swaying her foot back and forth, looking at her nails.

  “Diane can we talk for a minute?”

  “Sure we can talk Mom. What do you want to talk about?”

  “About this!” Mary shouts as she takes a long thick rolled up magazine from off a desk and whacks Diane D upside her forehead with it!

  “Aaaah!” Diane D screams as her head is thrown backward.

  Mary then whacks Diane D upside the back of her head as she shouts, “Como se atreve usted amenazan esa mujer!” Diane D runs off the chair and wraps her arms around her head as Mary comes after her continuing to whack Diane D upside her head! Diane D falls face down to the floor as Mary continues to whack the back of her head and neck shouting, “Como se atreve usted mentir a la policia acerca de cuanto tiempo que bate de beisbol ha sido dentro de su coche cuando sabes que bate de beisbol nunca fue dentro de su coche antes! Usted basta con colocar alli!”

  “Aaah!” Diane D screams.

  The door burst open! The police officers and Diane D’s family rush into the room towards Mary as Barry shouts, “Mary what are you doing?!”

  “Mary lo que sucedio?” Margarita shouts as Mary continues to whack the back of Diane D’s head.

  Mary points her finger at Diane D and shouts, “Usted basta con colocar alli!” The police officers and Diane D’s family grab Mary as Diane D lays face down on the floor with her arms still wrapped around her head and her legs and feet spread apart. The police officers, Barry, Tomas, Nicolas and Mickey pull an angry Mary away from Diane D as Mary points her finger at Diane D again and shouts, “Usted sabe que se acaba de situar el bate de beisbol dentro de su coche! Usted sabe que se acaba de situar el bate de beisbol alli!” The police officers, Barry, Tomas, Nicolas and Mickey take Mary away as Margarita, Marilyn and the Dianettes turn and hurry to Diane D.

  Diane D remains face down on the floor with her arms and hands still wrapped around her head. Margarita, Marilyn and the Dianettes surround Diane D. “Diane esta usted bien?” Margarita asks as she, Marilyn and the Dianettes bend to the floor to check on Diane D. They grab and hold Diane D.

  Barry, Tomas, Nicolas and Mickey let go of Mary. They turn and hurry to Diane D.

  Barry, Tomas, Nicolas and Mickey approach Diane D. They bend to the floor to check on Diane D. “Diane are you okay?” Barry asks. Barry, Tomas, Nicolas and Mickey grab and hold Diane.

  “Let’s turn her over,” Tomas says. They all lift Diane D by her torso then turn her over as her long black hair covers her reddish face. They could see the look of anger on Diane D’s face through her hair.

  “Diane esta usted bien?” Marilyn asks. Marilyn is about move Diane D’s hair off her face, but an angry Diane D jerks her face and entire body away from Marilyn. They all worriedly look at Diane D.

  Several hours later, Candis walks out the Central Booking Building. She walks on the sidewalk and approaches her neighbors, the man and woman, who are waiting for her. The man then asks, “Well how did it go in there?”

  “Yeah what happened,” the woman asks.

  “They gave Diane D a fine,” Candis says.

  “She has to pay a fine?”

  “Yeah. They’re fining her for attempted assault on police officers!”

  “What!” the man and woman says.

  “Diane D was about to attack officers again, like she did before?!” the man asks.

  “Yeah!” says Candis.

  “What happened?”

  “When they first brought Diane D to the police station, I heard she had to get frisk in the other room by two female officers.”

  “Diane D had to get frisked by two female officers?”

  “Yeah. I heard her family insisted on being in the room with her while she was getting frisked. I heard when the two female officers were ready to frisk Diane D, she started complaining that she didn’t want the female officers to touch her!”

  “She didn‘t want them to touch her?”

  “No. Her family and the officers still insist on having her frisked! When the two female officers started to frisk Diane D anyway, I heard that she took a swing at them!”

  “What!” the man and woman say.

  “Diane D took a swing at the two female officers?!” the man asks.

  “Yeah,” Candis says, “and I heard she did that right in front of her mom, dad and her grandma!”

  “She did
?! So what happened?!”

  “The female officers quickly ducked, causing Diane D to miss them!”

  “She missed them?” the woman asks. “So what did they do to her?”

  “They fined her! Plus after the police questioned Diane D, her mom took her into another room and closed the door. After her mom closed the door, I heard her mom hitting her!”

  “What! You heard Diane D’s mom hitting her?”

  “Yeah we all heard it! We heard her mom yelling at her too while her mom was hitting her.”

  “You heard her mom yelling at her while her mom was hitting her? What did her mom say to her?”

  “I couldn’t understand because her mom was yelling at her in Spanish, so I wasn’t able to tell what her mom was saying to her.”

  “I see. So what did her family and the police do when you all heard Diane D’s mom hitting her?”

  “Her family and the police had to rush into the other room to stop her mom!”

  “My god,” the man says. “Why did her mom hit her?”

  “Because her family knew she was lying! They witnessed her speeding away from their organization all the way over to our parking lot!”

  “My goodness Candis, I guess your wish came true. Diane D’s mom hit her again just like you hoped.”

  “Now I know Diane D is really gonna want to kill me for that now! I know she’s probably blaming for that too!”

  “I bet she is!”

  “So what is the outcome going to be with this whole situation?” the woman asks. “What’s going to happen to Diane D?”

  “The judge is releasing her into her family’s custody!” Candis says.

  “What?” the man says. “They’re releasing her into her family’s custody?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Even though she threatened you? Even though she drove and sped all the way from her family’s organization right to the parking lot behind our apartment building with a baseball bat in her car?!”

  “Yeah but she‘s denying everything about threatening me or planning to harm me! She told the police that she and I had an argument over the phone weeks ago.”

  “Weeks ago?”

  “Yeah! She also told the police that she came to the parking lot to meet up with a friend name Ralph.”

  “To meet up with a friend name Ralph? That’s what she told the police?”

  “Yeah. She also told the police that she had that baseball bat inside her car for a week.”

  “For a week?”

  “Yeah. She told them that she had left the baseball bat inside her car because she had a flat tire last week and she used the baseball bat to help herself lift the car when she changed the tire and that she just never got around to putting the baseball bat back out of her car.”

  “She told the police that too?”

  “Yeah.”

  “No one uses a baseball bat to lift a car to change a tire! She’s full of it!”

  “I know. She also told the police the reason how we probably knew she was on her way to the parking lot in a dark blue car is because word probably spread around the neighborhood like wildfire about her coming to the parking lot in a dark blue car.”

  “What!”

  “See that? She was making me look like the liar when she‘s the one who was really lying! She was sitting right there lying to the police officers the whole entire time with a straight look on her face!”

  “Oh yeah?”

  “Yeah! The police have no proof that Diane D was really planning to assault me or harm me, they have no proof of it at all! All they know is that they witnessed her speeding right to the parking lot after we made the call to them, but they can’t prove what her intention was! Plus the two female police officers who frisked her didn’t find any weapons on her and since the female officers found no weapons on Diane D and they found no weapons inside her car besides the baseball bat she claims she used for her flat tire, the police have no proof that she was after me. So far, it‘s her word against mine. The only thing she has to do is pay the fine for attempted assault on police officers.”

  “That’s all she has to do?”

  “That‘s all.”

  “And who’s going to pay the fine, she or her family?”

  “I think her parents and grandparents are gonna make her pay. I heard they’re going to have her work in the hospital for free and use her own pay money to pay the fine. So far Diane D threatened me and all she has to do is pay a fine for trying to assault the police. So far, she‘s getting over for what she was planning on doing to me.”

  “Well didn’t Diane D’s family hear her threatening you over the telephone? Weren‘t they there at the organization when Diane D threatened to come to the parking lot to meet you there and beat you up?”

  “I think her family was there at the organization, but I don’t think they were in the same room with her when she threatened me over the telephone and said all that stuff to me. Whatever room Diane D was in, it sounded like she was in the room alone, I didn‘t hear any voices in the background and I didn’t hear any other background noises. I don’t think Diane D would have even said any of that stuff to me if her family was right there in the same room with her. She’s not going to let them hear what she was saying to me. At least the judge and police kind of believe my story that Diane D intended to assault or harm me.”

  “They do? How do they believe your story if you have no proof?”

  “Because of Diane D’s history! She has a reputation! Everybody knows about her violent and vicious temper when she attacked those security guards and those police officers, that’s why the judge is releasing her into the custody of her family so her family can keep an eye on her at all times.”

  “Oh yeah? How is her family suppose to do that?”

  “She has to move in with them.”

  “What! Diane D has to move in with her family?”

  “Yeah. She has to move out of the apartment that she shares with her husband and move in with her family for a while.”

  “Really?” the woman says. “That means she and her husband have to be separated for a while?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Wow,” the man says. “Well I’m glad the police kind of believe your story Candis.”

  “Yeah me too. At least I‘m glad Diane D has to move in with her mom because her mom seems to be one tough cookie.”

  “I guess her mom has to be tough, dealing with a daughter like Diane D because Diane D has a vicious temper! When she’s not angry, she‘s okay, but when she gets mad, she turns into a vicious beast and it‘s best for everyone to run right out of her way!”

  “Yeah that‘s true. Maybe by moving back in with her family, her mom will whack her again if she steps out of line.”

  “Maybe, and Candis, being that this all happened, maybe it will be best for you if you stop calling Diane D’s family’s organization to complain about her. You see how far she went, speeding all the way to your place of residence with a baseball bat in her car? It’s kind of scary. The next time you complain to Diane D’s family about her, her behavior might become even more vicious. I mean anybody who is bold enough to attack police officers and security guards and landing them in the hospital, has got to be a real nut case! So it will be best for you if you not call Diane D’s family’s organization to complain about her anymore. It’s not worth it.” Candis nervously looks at the man. The man then says, “We’ll take you home.” The man and woman lead Candis away with them.
