Chapter 5

Dan was sitting in the Burger King across from the Amoco station when Adrianne pulled up. She looked around and then walked to the phone and stood waiting for his call. Dan let her wait until five minutes after five. He didn't see anyone that could possibly be waiting for him. He picked up his throw away cell and called the pay phone and directed her to go to another pay phone closer to the motel.

Dan sat as Adrianne pulled away. He watched to see if anyone followed her as she drove away. No one did. He got up and threw his trash away and got in the car and drove to the motel. When he was ready for her he would call her at the second pay phone.

One final check of the room and he was ready. He had the clock radio situated so that it was close to the edge of the dresser. He would just have to take a few steps to turn it on.

The pay phone that Adrianne was at, waiting for his call, was about a block from the motel. Dan called her and told her to start walking east until he called her on her cell phone. Within ten minutes he saw her walking by the motel. He quickly checked the street but didn't see anyone following her.

Dan dialed her cell phone, "You're here Adrianne. Come to room fifteen. I'll be waiting for you."

Adrianne walked to the door of the room hesitantly. She was about to knock when Dan took her arm and pulled her in the room. She was obviously frightened.

"Don't worry Adrianne; I'm not going to hurt you. I want to check you for wires."

Dan turned her so that she was facing away from him and, before she knew what he was doing, he unzipped her dress and slipped his hands inside the dress as if looking for a wire. He moved his hands over her bra covered tits and then held her against him while he used the other hand to check for a wire between her legs. She gasped as his fingers brushed her clit. She hadn't worn panties.

He pushed her away. She reached as if to zip her dress up and he barked to leave it and ordered her to sit down. She sat in the chair and he saw that her face was toward the camera. His mind was working a mile a minute. He was going to bluff and he hoped the he was good enough at it to pull his plan off.

Dan sat for a minute looking at her and he was making her nervous, "Well Adrianne I'm glad to finally meet you."

"Who are you and what do you want," she snapped.

"I'm afraid that you're in no position to be asking questions or to be taking an attitude. I think that the Judge might have a few unkind words for you if he finds out about your actions with the sheriff and his wife.

Dan saw the look of relief on her face and he knew that there were others, "Oh, I know about the other ones you've been carrying on with too."

Adrianne got a look on her face that showed she was asking herself how he could know.

Dan decided to fish a little, "I've found out about your little plan too. How can you try that so soon after your husband's death?'

He saw a hardness flash in her eyes. His comment could have meant anything but he felt that he had touched a nerve and he knew what it was.

"That's a little brazen isn't it? You're going to try it on the judge? I'd be wary of that if I was you."

She searched his face trying to figure out how much he knew, "My husband died a natural death."

Dan fought to not show any emotion on his face; that was the wrong thing to say. He hadn't insinuated that her husband had been murdered. She as much as admitted that her husband's death was caused by her or someone close to her. This woman was as dumb as a box of rocks.

"If you try it on the Judge I'm sure that they'll look at it a lot closer than they did with your husband."

"Todd said that insulin was almost impossible to detect. He said that he'd make sure that the coroner wouldn't look for it. They never found it on my husband."

"Yes Adrianne, but this time you're dealing with a state Supreme Court judge. I'd be very careful if I were you. I'm thinking that maybe Todd Crispin isn't the friend to you that he professes to be."

She started to fidget in her chair; he had fed the doubt about Todd Crispin that she had been feeling lately. Todd seemed to like fucking Bitsy better than her. Dan sat looking at her. His conversation had made him think of her in a different way. This woman had to be stopped; although the Judge wasn't much better. The Judge probably had his fingers in every dirty deal in the county.
