"Long Awaited" Chapter 44: "Something I Said"

Ray's Point-Of-View:

The word she said just rang back and forth in my mind like a bell, continuously showing the sign of caution. It took me a long while to actually comprehend an answer to the statement that shocked me like it would've shocked the nations. This is like a movie scene. When she said that one word, it was like the world had just stopped for a moment and the action in the background was not actually happening in my time zone. Like the world had just stopped in its tracks and hasn't budged an inch. That is until she threw her head into my shoulder and started crying like I've never seen her before.

Me: "YOU'RE WHAT NOW?"

Virginia: "I am!"

Me: "How can this happen? You've only been married 7 months!"

Virginia: "I DON'T KNOW!"

Me: "When did you find out?"

Virginia: "Just yesterday, my period was 2 weeks late."

Me: "But your period is always irregular!"

Virginia: "But never that late! I went to the OBGYN and I am pregnant!"

She starts crying again, even worse now than before.

Me: "Sssh, sssh, sssh, we'll find him!"

Virginia: "But what if we don't find him?"

Me: "Don't ever say that! What happened to the Virginia Archuleta that I know?"

Virginia: "She's in here, she's just very upset right now..."

Me: "I can completely understand."

Virginia's Point-of-View:

Staring at the rest of the drama, interviews, and police officers taking statements in the background of what outlined Ray, I see a police officer coming over to talk to us again. He seemed very happy and I wondered why he would be smiling in such a time like this.

Police officer: "Mrs. Archuleta, Mr. Amico, you have to come see this!"

He runs down the hallway to the bathroom where I found out David's intended fate. He has the door open already and is going to show us something. The police officer leads us over to the wall and asks, "Do you have any idea if your husband had any enemies?"

Me: "Um, not really..."

Police Officer: "Do you have any idea if he had any ex-girlfriends?"

Me: "Well, yeah...I guess, why?"

Police officer: "There's a kissing lips mark on the wall right here with a message."

Me: "What? show me!"

He shows me over to a bathroom stall wall and the message is clearly written in red lipstick.

"To Whomever This May Concern,

I have him. And I'm not letting him go. I love him and he's mine now."

I gasp and start crying again. I didn't know what to do, but I thought that I might have an idea who it might be and then the police officer asks the question that I was waiting for.

Police officer: "Do you have an idea who it might be now that you saw this."

Me: "Yes."

Police officer: "Who?"
