Ignoring the woman, Bella turned to one of the officers. “Where is the senator?” she asked.
“The new guy took him to the bathroom.”
Bella walked out of the room and down the hall. When she reached the bathroom door, it was open and empty. Bella sat the bag on the floor and jogged up the stairs. An officer that she didn’t recognize was standing in the hall. She figured that he must have been the “new guy.”
“Where is the senator?”
“He’s getting dressed.”
Bella looked over at the closed bedroom door and prayed that the idiot hadn’t left him alone.
“Who’s in there with him?”
The officer gave Bella a puzzled look. “Nobody. He’s getting dress.”
He actually said it with a “duh” connotation.
“You stupid motherfuckah!” Bella barked.
She ran over to the door and tried the knob. It was locked. In a panic, Bella kicked the door until it flew open. She entered the room in just enough time to see the senator eat a bullet.
“Goddamn it!” Bella screamed.
