We were on I-95 heading for Rockville and I wanted to talk, she didn't. She'd said she needed a break from us? I didn't understand and she could not explain it. She'd had an affair a few months earlier and I suspected it wasn't over as she had said? This likely meant it was still going on. Or something was.
We were maybe just short of her parents house where we were headed when my gas alarm dinged and I knew I had to get gas. I told her and started looking for the place I knew was coming up to buy some. She in turn was not happy being this near her parents home but She didn't want to run out either.
The place I was looking for came up and I pulled in.
"Can we talk Lisa?"
"David there is nothing to talk about. I need this break. I am going to get a bottle of water. Put some gas in and I will be back."
She got out and I watched her walk off toward the Store. Lisa is 5'3", and 123 pounds of very sexy female, with a very nice sexy round rear end and gorgeous perky 34" B cup breasts which I had noticed were loose under her shirt. She was nipped out nicely. And looked very sexy.
I got out and filled the SUV and waited. It was 9:23 am and I sat until 9:47 am before I got out and went into the Store. I checked both rest rooms which were empty and moved around the store but no Lisa. I drove completely around the station six times and nothing. I ask the clerk, who's tag said Vincent on it, if he remembered Lisa? He didn't seem to.
Finally at 10:42 I called the police, and got the run around from them. After getting up set with the officer I talked with, he promised if he couldn't find someone he'd come himself. At 11:48 am he showed up. By then I had driven to her parents house to make sure she hadn't gotten a ride the four miles to their house.
They had not seen her and they were not happy about her not being with me. They knew she was coming home to stay with them for a while. They acted as if they didn't trust me? I had no idea what my wife had told them, but it was not good for us.
I had returned to the station and was waiting for the police. He in turn was not happy I had left for a while. We entered the station and he ask the guy to see the video tape from that morning. Vincent the clerk, told Detective Sanders, a 50ish black man the camera had been broken for several weeks and they were waiting for it to be replaced.
The Detective ask if I wanted to return with him to the office or stay and wait there? It was 1:24 pm by then. I followed him back to the police station. Once there, he began to ask me some very uncomfortable questions about our marriage. Had I ever messed around on my wife?
No, I had not. Had she ever messed around on me? Yes she had.
"Just once?"
"No more than once."
"More than once regularly with the same guy?"
"Yes, but more than once over our 12 years of marriage with different guys."
"Do you think she is doing it now?"
"Yes, I think she is probably fucking someone now. That is why she wants a break from us. But I wouldn't think she would just leave without telling me?"
The questions went on and on and became more embarrassing. He finally left and I did also. I drove back too the station to look for her. As I drove around the drive at the station I noticed the video camera above the pumps. The record light was on.
I returned to the store and I ask Vincent what he was trying to pull. He played dumb and tried to force me from the store. He went for a drawer under the counter and I knocked him down. I opened the drawer and slipped the gun there in my pants. He showed me the recorder under the counter which I unplugged and took with me.
I drove back to the police station and found Detective Sanders and handed him the recorder. We soon had it plugged in and running. I got the guy to back the tape up to about 9:23 am and we watched. Soon Lisa came back out of the store only to be stopped by a long haired bearded man that she turned to talk with like she knew him.
They both turned back to the corner beside the door into the station just as a semi pulled in the way blocking them from view. When it finally moved on she was gone. There had been a white Dodge van sitting there that was now gone too. As also was the guy. I video taped it all on my phone.
The Detective stayed to put an APB out on my wife and I drove to her parents. I showed them the video asking if they knew the guy talking to their daughter?
"I think so, yes that's Larry our lawn guy. Lisa knew him in high school."
"Would she get in his van with him? Had she dated him or anything?"
They both looked some what shocked. And both shook their heads.
"No I wouldn't think so. He is somewhat unkept. But Lisa dated several guys back then? Yes, maybe, Lisa knows Larry I'm sure. He was in her class I think. Lisa could have dated Larry back then? Yes, she might have gotten in with him. She has talked with him several times when she was here and he was working in the yard. Oh, and last time she was here Lisa went off with Larry. They were gone several hours."
"Have either of you ever seen the white van?"
"Yes, Yes, that is his van and I have seen it out beside the old trailer he stays in."
She gave me the address of his place and I wrote it down.
"Do you by chance know a guy named Vincent that works out on the loop at the station?"
"We don't know him but we know who he is, and we have seen him with Larry a couple of times. We know they are friends."
"Would Vincent have been someone Lisa might have dated years ago?"
"We wouldn't think so? But Lisa dated some strange guys back then. And last time when Lisa went off with Larry he was with them when Larry brought her back. She was sitting on his lap."
