C8 A Night Visitor

Jane couldn't fall asleep. Her head was filled with thoughts about her friend's predicament. If Lisa was traumatized, the strong factors that could be responsible for such was the fact that she tolerated too much from Alex's infidelity and never realized she was strolling away from sanity. Another factor was the rape incident that happened few nights ago. The most painful of all was Alex tearing off the papers. Jane felt she should uncover the rape case without involving her friend. She couldn't believe Lisa almost mentioned it before she collapsed. Getting justice for her could give her some closure. "I would start from the bar. I will try to get the name of the bar from her tomorrow. Tomorrow it is. I can't just fold my hands." Jane told herself. She turned off the lights and tried to get some sleep.

Just as she was about sleeping off her phone rang. It was Alex. "Hello, Jane, l am outside… in your house… can you please let me in?"

"What?" Jane responded and checked the time. "Alex! It's almost midnight. What are you doing here? Let's see tomorrow," Jane responded. "l am in dire need... I have to talk to you," Alex insisted.

Jane weighed the situation and decided to let him in. She put a robe over her lingerie and clicked the door opened. "Alex please whatever this is, please be brief, it's late into the night," she said.

"Yes I will. Actually, Lisa insisted on going through with the divorce. She will be getting the papers again this week."

"So? How do I come in ?" Jane asked. "Please, hear me out. I know this is hard to believe but Marie's pregnancy is a blackmail, I am not responsible for her. Lisa got it all wrong. She got the papers because she believed I am responsible for the pregnancy.. can you just help me out?"

"You think it's just about your mistress' pregnancy? What about your absolute infidelity and sexual misdemeanor? You even brought your mistress into your bedroom and made your wife watch all that. It's so inhumane. Alex, please I can't help you. I will be the last person to convince Lisa to stay. You are in the wrong place. Good night."

Jane made way to close her door but Alex intercepted it. "Jane, I know this is hard to believe but I am going crazy. Nobody believes me. I love my wife.... I've never made the first move towards any woman since l got married. They do come after me. I got amused by their wantonness and got carried away trying to play their cards."

Jane chuckled, "what a lame excuse. As adults, we are all responsible for our actions and I am sorry it doesn't exclude you. Have a wonderful night." Alex held at her door frantically, "Jane please just hear me out this time." Alex pleaded.

Jane considered him. This is a man that never gets perturbed over anything. Here he is shaking like a reed blown by desert wind just to ensure his wife stays... 'We must be missing something'. Jane thought and opened her door wide.
