WILD IRISH ROSE-CHAPTER IV BY CHERYL V.

WILD IRISH ROSE-CHAPTER IV

Sonny jus happened to be lying on the island, but he can’t be seen from the shore; but he happened to spot Rosa lee, lying in the swampy water. Because he didn’t see Bob around, he figured she came in a boat by herself. But as he reached the shore, the moss on the hard ground packing underneath his feet, suddenly, felt wet as he realized, he’s standing in the swampy, green ocean waters.

So Sonny ran way into the swampy, green water, splashing around his legs, and as he saw Rosa lee, trying to get up on her feet, he raced over to her, and scoped her up into his arms. Then, as he walked towards his green fishing boat, he, literally, threw her inside of it; and hopped into the boat, taking off back to his mansion. As he’s on his way, Rosa lee tried to let out a scream, but is so scared, that she’s all choked up.

In the meantime, Bob got up onto his feet, and noticed that she isn’t around. He called out her name, but there’s no answer.

“Hey, my darling…where is you? Can you…hear me? If you can…yell out my name.”

He happened to notice, that the green fishing boat that was there by the island is gone. So, he suspected that she might have been kidnapped by someone, but has no idea who could have done it.

As he took off in his parents’ boat, he, suddenly, has this weird feeling inside, that Sonny might have kidnapped her. So he’s on his way back to the mansion, and as he arrived there, in much despair over Rosa lee, he got out of the boat and tied it back up.

As he walked through all that deep sand, he, soon, arrived at the back entrance of the mansion. As he walked through it, his parents were seated back there, jus enjoying themselves with a drink of champagne in their hands.

So he said to them in a desperate voice, “Rosa lee’s missing over at the island, so please have one of the butlers, call the police right away, and report her as a missing person.”

Immediately, Bob Sr. called one of the butlers over his cell phone, and in a desperate said to him, “We’ve got a bad situation, here. Bob jus came back from the island without Rosa lee. He just let me and Susanna know, that Rosa lee is missing. And he hasn’t been able to find her over at the island. So please call the police right away, or jus go down there to the police station with Bob, and have them, making out a missing person’s report.”
So the butler went ahead, and called over at the police station on his cell phone without fail.

So he said to the Captain, “Hello, is this the Captain? Rosa lee is missing. Bob jus came back from the island without her, tonight. So being she has been kidnapped before by Sonny, please send someone out there to his mansion to investigate the place. She jus might be over there at this time. It’s a big possibility.”

“Yes, this is the Captain, what time was she reported missing? Jus now? Will make out a missing person’s report right away. Also will make sure; it gets put in the local newspaper. Also I’ll send some cops there to investigate the mansion, Sonny’s mansion. If anything is discovered there, or the cops find Rosa lee, will let you know as I receive any information on her disappearance right away.”

“Thanks, Captain, I’m sure Bob and his parents will appreciate you doing this for us.”

So in the meantime, Sonny arrived back this mansion. As he pulled his fishing boat by the docks, Rosa lee’s out of it. She’s so scared, that she went into a seizure and blacked out. So as she, suddenly, came out of it, she’s aware of being carried by Sonny up to his mansion. But she, still, couldn’t let out a scream for help.

As Sonny arrived at the back entrance of his mansion with her in his arms, Rosa lee thought, “The earth’s about to cave in on me. Oh no, Sonny has me in his arms. What in the world, is he doing? Am feeling like I’m floating. Did he give me, something?”

He jus knew that she wouldn’t try to get away from him. But he has her on the back porch. Also he has a blue handkerchief around her mouth, so she can’t scream for help. He jus knew, she would behave. Or he’s going to dope her up. But he jus lay her down in a white lounge chair on the porch. And then, he walked over to the porch doors, and locked them all jus in case any butler tried coming there. But no butler knows that he’s back from his boat ride.

While lying on the chair, she thought, “He’s up to something. Can smell it on his breath. Has made me, drunk. Am feeling helpless. My world’s closed in on me. Can’t escape its grip. Knows, he’ll pay for this. Deserves to be beaten up by the cops. Now, what’s the deal?”

Bob tried to get himself out of the ocean. He jus realized that Rosa lee isn’t around anywhere in sight. While feeling waterlogged, fear has started to take its grip on him while he’s in deep thought.

“On no, she might have drowned. Overheard her voice in the ocean. It sounded eerie to me. She tried to cry for help. And I didn’t know it. Jus know it in my bones. What am I, going to do now? Am slipping in the swampy water again. Can’t hold my grip on the ocean bottom. Can’t seem to get my breath.”

Sonny didn’t know it, but the police think he’s a suspect for kidnapping Rosa lee again. Being that Bob knows where he lives, the police, already, are looking around for evidence, that could lead to Rosa lee’s whereabouts. The cops are looking around the shore.

So one of them found a handkerchief, similar to the one which Bob discovered over at his parents’ mansion, last time, Rosa lee was kidnapped from his parents’ mansion. So one of those police picked up the handkerchief, and with plastic gloves on, carefully, placed it inside a plastic bag and into a pocket on his uniform.

Rosa lee thought, “Am having this funny feeling inside. Think the cops are around. Can hear their sirens outside. Am seeing a vision before me. Looks like an angel. Hope, I’m not dead. See white when about to enter Heaven. Hope the cops, come to get me soon. Am ready to faint from hunger.”

The cops got back into the police car, and then, one of them drove it to the back of the mansion with the siren off, so Sonny wouldn’t suspect, they were around the mansion. One of the cops stayed outside, and had all the guards keep on the lookout for Sonny, jus in case; he should walk out of the place.

The cop jus outside, has both hands, securely, on his gun. And it’s ready to use while the other cop walked through the deep sand to the front of the mansion, and stayed on guard there.

So the cop in the back, shouted to Sonny, “Come out with your hands up.”---

But, since, he wouldn’t come out of his mansion, the cop forced the back doors, open, and as he was, he caught Sonny on the back porch. And Rosa lee, still, is lying on the lounge chair, appearing like she, still, is in a daze. So the other cop called the other one over to the back entrance.

While the cop walked through the deep sand, the other cop approached Sonny, who has a scared look on his face. And a cop placed handcuffs on him, and then, said to Rosa lee, trying to comfort her. “Now, jus remain calm. Sonny jus has been handcuffed. And he can’t hurt you anymore. I and my partner, who’s on his way back here, are going to take you right over to Bob Sr.’s mansion. And then, Bob’s going to look after you unless I can’t get a hold of him, and get him to pick you up which I haven’t been able to do so far.”

So the other cop came right through the back entrance, and walked right over to where Sonny’s seated in a chair, handcuffed, and read him, his rights, “Now, you have the right to remain silent. But anything you say can be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney. But we know that you don’t need one, appointed for you. You’d better call your attorney right away. And hope you’ll be able to have him, stick up for you.”

So jus before the cops let Sonny out to the cop car, they allowed him to call one of the butlers, and as he did, a cop got on his cell phone, and said to the butler, “Sonny has jus been arrested for kidnapping Rosa lee again. And this time, he needs his attorney bad, because he’s going to have to put up on heck of a fight to get out of this one. Has a lot of evidence against him to, possibly, put him in jail for many years?”
So while one of the butlers, contact Sonny’s attorney, the cops led Sonny right out the back entrance, and pointed their guns at him as he hopped into the back seat of the cop car.

One cop said to his partner on the way to the police station, “Can’t think of why he would attempt anything to get himself, arrested. He’s too smart of a guy to put his life at stake, but, already, is close to, possibly, a life sentence for kidnapping and attempted murder on Rosa lee.”

As the cops arrived at the police station, one of the cops put Sonny in a jail cell after removing his handcuffs. And he’s to stay there until the day of his trial.

Jus before Bob came to pick up Rosa lee, she came out of her daze, enough to hear Bob, talking to her over a cop’s cell phone, even though, she couldn’t respond to him.

He said to her, “My dear, darling Rosa lee…hold on tight. Nothing to…fear now. Can trust me…to come and get you. Would never…abandon you. You’re drunk…but the cop is…bringing you, some coffee.”

Sonny’s not going…to get away with this. Can depend…on me. Am going to…bring you some food…and your medication. If you feel…you’ve had a seizure…don’t panic. A live-in-nurse is going…to take good care of you.”

After getting a phone call from the police as to her whereabouts, Bob, immediately, drove his red Cadillac convertible over to Sonny’s mansion to pick her up. In fact, he had to carry her to his car. As he arrived back at his parents’ mansion, he had to let her, sleep on the back porch because she, still, is in a daze when he discovered her over at Sonny’s mansion. And jus before he left, he had to wrap her in a towel being he couldn’t leave her there on the chair in wet clothes.

That night, she was even too drunk to take to him in a way, he would understand her. So he left her, lying on a white lounge chair, covered with a big towel being he couldn’t leave her alone, so he could get some dry clothes to put on her.

He said to her jus before she fell asleep, Will be at your side…all night long. Will sleep…in a chair next to you.”

So he fell asleep, himself, and in the morning after he awakened, he checked on her again to make sure, she’s okay. He, even, had a butler, take care of all her needs. So that she would have a good chance to come out of her daze. Now that she’s over at Bob’s parents’ mansion, a live-in-nurse would be looking after her too.

Now that she’s, at least, partly, awake, he said to her, “Now, my darling, Wild Irish Rose…you’re over at…my parents’ mansion. Are going…to be alright. Right after you…have some breakfast…the live-in-nurse’s going…to check up on you. Also she’s going…to bring you…your morning medication, and…anything else…you need.”

Then, he called a butler over his cell phone, and said to him, “Please sir…Rosa lee is…in a daze right now…and can’t get up…off the lounge chair. So please…bring her, some breakfast because…I need your help…in getting her to the table. Or jus get a maid…to get one of those…portable trays of breakfast food…and let her…eat while sitting…up in a lounge chair.”

“Will get one of the maids, and also, the family nurse out there on the back porch. Because of Rosa lee’s health, you mom has, permanently, hired a live-in-nurse for her. Both the live-in-nurse and a maid will be back there, shortly. Jus stay there with Rosa lee for the time being. She, also, needs your care and nurturing. So please stay with her while she eats her breakfast, and until you and your mom are sure, that she hasn’t been harmed in any way, jus sit tight for now.”

So a maid and the live-in-nurse came back there within a half hour, however the nurse was there, first, to give her, all her medicine to get her out of her daze. Plus the nurse examined her, and didn’t find any sores or any marks on her, indicative of any abuse on her which could have occurred last night. Then, the maid gave her, some breakfast along with some strong, black coffee.

And she had been scared, all night long; however she managed to get enough sleep, anyways, being that Sonny gave her, so much champagne, the night before.

So Bob’s trying to comfort her and said to her, “Are you…alright, my dear Wild Irish Rose? Can’t believe…that Sonny would…do such a thing…to you through catching you…off guard over at this island…and kidnap you again. Guess, he didn’t…learn his lesson, yet. Has so much…evidence against him.”

Rosa lee has been resting at home under her parents’ orders, and hasn’t been able to attend high school for a few days being that she’s been in a state of shock. And her parents can’t seem to figure out how she got this way either, however they have been giving her, their full support.

Bob called over at the ranch house, every so often, to check up on her, and to see how she’s doing with Alcoholics Anonymous. And he’s been concerned on how she’s handling her problems.

Next time, he called her, he said to her, “My darling, Wild Irish Rose…assure you…I’m still…having feelings…of affection and warmth…inside for you. And these feelings are…growing stronger…every passing day and night.”

She said to him, “Am having the same feelings for you. Can’t seem to resist you. So every time, I see you, I jus seem to want more and more of you.”

The next time, he called her; she said to him, “Every time, I see you, jus want more and more of you. Keep having this urge inside to want to make love with you.”

So he said to her, “Sounds like…you’re out of shock…And you’re not…afraid of Sonny…or that other guy anymore. This makes me…feel good inside.”

So it’s one rainy day for Sonny’s trial, so she thought on the way to the courthouse, “My world’s close in on me. Am feeling quite nervous and shaky. Could mess up during the trial. And say the wrong things against Sonny. Hope, my memory comes back when the trial begins. Am floating, but in a better world. Am having a better inner world. Even though, the earth’s about to cave in on me. Am scared to face Sonny in court.”

The dark skies didn’t seem to help her mood in any way. It’s going to be hard for her to face Sonny, even though, she’s aware, things could end up not going in his favor. Both her and Bob know, that Sonny’s attorney could help him, lie his way out of his trial again like he did the last time.

She thought on the way to the courthouse, “Think my inner world is going crazy. Am feeling insecure inside it. It’s about to engulf me. Don’t know what to do to fight it. But is more into my fantasy world with Bob. Is a good feeling. Really care for him.”

On her way to the courthouse, Rosa lee’s dad played some CD full of orchestra music, so that it might calm her down. So when her, Bob, and her parents arrived over at the court building, that during the whole time, she’ll be inside the court, she would be able to remember what she needed to bring up during the trial. Also, hopefully, she would end up being able to tell the jury and judge, the whole truth, about what happened from when Sonny kidnapped her on the island until the time when Bob picked her up, and took her over to his parents’ mansion.

She said to her parents and Bob on the way, “Boy, hate all this rain. Wish I lived in another area. But like the heat. But the rains are always crazy. Am going to be soaked from all this rain. My make’s a disaster.”

When they all arrived over at the court building, she started to get very nervous.

So she thought on her way inside the court building, “Feel like I want to leap out a window. Can feel a lot of butterflies in my stomach.”

Her face was red because she started to cry. Her beautiful brown eyes aren’t glistening, although, her parents and Bob walked with her.

They all wore yellow ponchos because it’s raining in torrents.

She said to Bob, once, inside the court building, “My face must be very red from crying. Must look terrible with all my mascara running down my face.”

Then, she walked inside the women’s restroom while Bob went to the guy’s restroom. She walked in front of a mirror, and washed the entire make up off her face. Then, she reapplied her make up, certainly, the pancake makeup to cover up all the redness on her face. However she didn’t apply her mascara because it isn’t waterproof. Her eyes are red, but can’t do anything about it.

It’s time for the court session to start. So Rosa lee, Bob, and her parents all entered the court and took their seats.

After they’re seated, she said to her parents and Bob, “Boy, am I nervous. Hope I don’t screw up, today, on what I’m to say against Sonny.”

Jus as the judge took his seat at his desk, she whispered to Bob, “Hope I’m able to relax soon. Can sense it’s going to be a tough day for me. It all depends on how well; I can answer all the questions from the defense.”

Bob assured her, “Don’t worry…about anything. If you relax…things will…go better for you.”

As she sat beside him, she said to him, “Am aware, that for Sonny, this trial could end up against his favor. Hope that whatever the defense asks me, today, will stir my memory of what happened to me on those nights of my kidnappings. It’s important because whatever I say here in court, today, could cause the jury to put a real stiff sentence on sonny. Jos hopes that this trial ends for the worst for him. He deserves it after what he pulled on me during the kidnappings.”

Sonny isn’t able to sense, that Rosa lee’s planning to try hard during this trial to, really, fights for her. Badly wants him to end up, getting the worst possible sentence placed on him after this trial is over. But the very base for this sentence, solely, depended on what’s she’s able to reveal to the jury all through the trial, no matter, how long it’s going to take to get him behind bars. She would have to be able to prove, that it has been more than revenge that he has been having against her.

So jus as the judge came into the courtroom, everyone stood up as usual. And since, he’s more than ready, he told everyone there for today’s court session, “All may be seated except for Rosa lee. Are you sure, you’re ready enough for today? Your eyes seem to be quite bloodshot like if you have been crying enough tears to fill a bucket.”

“Yes, judge, I’m as ready as I’ll ever be.”

“Okay, then, Rosa lee, walk right over here and take the stand. It’s time to take the oath, raise your right hand. Try to relax if you can before I proceed. Know this is going to be very hard on you, today,. Want you to be able to tell me and the jury, everything, you know, from the questions, the defense is about to ask you. Do you swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, so help me, God?”

“Yes, I do, your Honor.”

“Okay, now, you may be seated. State your name for the book.”

“My name’s Rosa lee Davidson.”

“Okay, defense, you may go ahead with your questions.”

“Did he do anything to hurt you on the night, you were kidnapped?”

“Yes, on the night of the kidnapping, he was quite rough on me. When he was in so much of a hurry to get away from the island before Bob s saw him, taking me inside his fishing boat, he caused me to have some bruises on my back which Bob happened to notice that night when he came to get me over at Sonny’s mansion.”

“Do you think, he was trying to kidnap you again jus so he could get some revenge against you for giving up on the romance with him because you thought, he used you, and tired to steal you away from Bob?”

“Yes, I do, but it was a lot more than that. He acted, so stealthily, that night, jus so that he could get me, drink because he knows, I am an epileptic, and if I get drunk, I can go into a seizure.”

“On the night of the kidnapping, do you remember him, forcing booze on you, and as a result, having a seizure, that night?”

“Yes, he did force booze on me; he forced it down my throat, and afterwards, I was in a daze until the next morning after the night when Bob came over to Sonny’s mansion, and picked me up. So Sonny did cause me to have a seizure from which I could have died if the cops along with Bob, hadn’t rescued me, that night, and right away, given me, my right medication.”

“What you’re implying, is that he tried to kill you by getting you drunk? Did he give you, any medication that you, usually, don’t take, jus so that he could dope you up as to hope, that you wouldn’t remember what happened on that one night of the kidnapping?”

“Yes, that was his intention to make me drunk, and go into a bad seizure, so that I would be dead by the morning. However this time, he didn’t give me any kind of dope or medication. He was in too much of a hurry to kill, and then, dispose of my body, somewhere, before the cops or Bob found me, there, at the mansion.”

“Okay, Rosa lee, that is all, that is enough questions; lay off of her now; she can’t take any more, can’t you see, that she’s ready to go into tears? You may go to your seat now Rosa lee.”

“Thank you, your Honor.”

“Okay, plaintiff takes the stand, and raises your right hand. You must take the oath, now; do you swear to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me, God.”

“Yes, I do, your Honor,” he replied with much uncertainty in his voice.

“Okay”, said the judge with a formal voice, “the defense may fire the questions at him now, and however first state your name for the book.”

“My name is Sonny Saget.”

“Okay, go ahead, defense, ask him, every question, you’ve got on paper before you, or that you can think of that should help the plaintiff, get what he deserves.”

So the defense tried his best to bring the right questions up to the plaintiff, so that he couldn’t hurt Rosa lee in any way anymore; so that this trial would end, quickly, and so that Sonny would end up getting what he has deserved for some time.

“Jus remember now Sonny, am not going to let you, lie your way out of this one because that is, exactly, what you did during your last trial. So if you don’t tell the truth, and somebody suspects you aren’t, then, you’re going to have a stiff charge against you. So listen, very carefully; tell me what happened on that very night on which Rosa lee was kidnapped. You’re a definite suspect in this case.”

“That night, I decided to lie down on the island and relax. Then, I jus happened to walk up to the shore when I heard a weird voice, as I reached the shore, I spotted Rosa lee, lying in the water. So, then, I ran into the ocean. As I caught up with her, she happened to not be breathing. So, then, I lay her inside my fishing boat, and had to perform some CPR on her being that Bob, certainly, wasn’t anywhere in sight. So I had no choice, but to wait until she spit up some water which she did.

Didn’t know if she was going to have a seizure. As I reached the back entrance of my mansion, I had to put her on the back porch in her wet clothes. Didn’t have any blankets or towels in which to wrap her. Had to let her, lay there until I could get a hold of someone for her.”

“Okay, what did you leave her; lay on the back porch in wet clothes? Wasn’t a maid or nurse available to take care of her?”

“No, so, then, I didn’t know what to do. Knew she was already to go into a seizure. However I couldn’t find her medicine. She went right into a seizure as a result of not having her medication with her; and then, she slipped into a daze.”

“Did you try to inflict any bodily harm on her in any way?”

“No, I didn’t doing anything like that, that night, while she was at my mansion.”

“Why didn’t you call someone in charge of her like her live-in-nurse, that night, if you knew she’s prone to seizures and had one, that night?”

“Don’t have either her parents’ or Bob’s parents’ phone numbers. And both numbers are unlisted.”

“Why didn’t you take her to the hospital, that night, or even call an ambulance for her if she was in such bad condition?”

“There wasn’t a hospital, that was close enough to take her, and I was afraid to move her being she was too pale-looking and had a bad seizure.”

“You, still, didn’t answer the question, right; why you didn’t take her to a hospital even if it was a little far away? When a person has a seizure and has no medication with them, that person is supposed to be taken to the emergency room right away. So in studying to be a doctor, why didn’t you know this?”

“To tell you, the truth, I jus go by what my family, tells me whenever my sister goes into a seizure.”

“You know something; if she would have died from that seizure, she had that night, you would have been responsible for her death.”

“What else happened that night which stopped you from giving her, the proper treatment?”

“Didn’t know that she actually had a seizure when inside my boat, and over at the mansion. Gave her, some champagne to calm her down, and to bring her blood pressure down to normal being it was near 200.”

“Okay, defense,” the judge said in a formal voice, “that is enough questions for him. Don’t want to see him, come down with heatstroke from this heat because in being hyper or nervous can make a person, sweat profusely, and go into one.”

“So it’s time for a break, and so all here in the court, today, can get some decaffeinated drink and something to eat. Don’t have anything caffeinated which can bring your temperature to a dangerous level.”
