Accidental Obsession Page #3

for miles.

Let me guess.

It's your ex, Ray, right?

Yeah, good guess.

I'm going to visualize him

right now.

Oh okay.

Haha.

Oh hey it's the office.

Can you give me a second?

Yeah. Yeah sure.

Take these, I'll meet up

with you.

Hey Saul.

Yes I am working on that...

Sorry about that.

That's okay.

Not again.

Oh, it's Jack.

Hey.

Yeah tonight's good.

Concerto's bar is good.

9:
00 is good.

Okay, see you then.

Wow, Jack, nice.

We have a date.

Great.

Well I've got one more

case in town

and then in three weeks

I'm off to Europe.

Business or pleasure?

A little bit of both hopefully.

I'm so sorry I'm late,

the cab took a while

finding this place.

What are you doing here?

Oh my god.

I'm sorry.

When you said we have

a date,

I assumed you meant me

as well.

I'm sorry, I should leave.

No. Sit down.

Yeah of course.

No, please.

Are you sure?

Please join us.

Yeah.

Okay.

There you go.

Thank you.

Can I get you something

to drink?

I'd love a glass of wine.

Heather tells me you're

a private investigator?

Guilty as charged.

That must be very exciting.

Well I guess that

all depends.

On?

Well who the client

is for one.

Well on that note,

why don't we order something

to eat?

I'm starved.

Thank you.

Can I give you ladies a lift?

Actually we're taking a cab.

Thanks, good night.

Vanessa, it was nice

seeing you again.

Oh, okay.

Well, good night ladies.

Good night.

Thanks.

Oh that was fun; we should

do that again sometime.

Haha.

It was obvious Jack is crazy

in love with you.

Is it?

Are you kidding?

Girls would kill to have

a guy like Jack.

He's a sweetheart.

Thanks.

Oh my God.

Good morning.

Morning.

Saul was looking for you.

He wants to know how

the Boden file is going.

I told him you're up to

your eyeballs in work on it.

Yeah I've been a little

distracted the past few days.

He wants to see you in his

office as soon as possible.

Great.

Do me a favour?

Get this key cut.

Sure.

Oh and you have

another message.

Jack called and he wants you

to give him a call back.

Okay.

Is there something

you're not telling me?

No comment.

Hi!

Hello?

Hi, my birdies.

You wanted to see me?

Yes please, sit down.

Eli called.

Mm-hm.

He's concerned that we're

not giving

our full attention to his case.

He hasn't heard from anyone.

I just started the defense.

Is he looking for someone

to hold his hand?

Heather.

If he wants someone

from this law firm

to tuck him in at night,

we will.

There are millions

at stake here.

Now you just make sure

that you deal with it

and keep him happy.

Alright.

Now don't get distracted,

do you understand?

Yes.

Hello.

Hi. Heather, it's Vanessa.

I'm at the motel and I'm

just thinking things through

and I could really use

your advice.

About?

Well I seem to have hit a

brick wall and I don't know

if I should move back home

or stay here.

Do you think we could meet

and talk tonight?

It would really help me.

You know I'm sorry;

I'm working on this big case.

I really can't.

I understand.

And I don't really usually

reach out about these things

but I really respect

your opinion

and I could really use a talk.

Uh, I don't think I can.

Well you need to eat right?

I could pick up takeout

and bring it over

and we could chat

through dinner

and then you could get

right back to work.

Okay I'll help you

for an hour

and then I'll have to work

after that.

Okay, great.

Thank you for being such

a great friend.

Sure.

Okay, bye.

Blue is my favourite colour.

Surprise!

Dinner as promised.

You scared me.

Oh I'm sorry.

The door was unlocked

so I let myself in.

So good to see you too.

You too.

You have birds!

They're beautiful.

Aww thank you.

I love birds.

They're so sweet.

Sorry one second.

You gotta be kidding me.

Everything okay?

Uh huh.

Sonofa...

Thank you for bringing it

but now I feel like I filled

my skirt, I'm so fill.

That was delicious.

Yeah.

Thank you for your advice

and for putting up with me.

Well now I've got work...

I am tired of being ignored.

Ray!

Get out!

You think this is some

kind of joke?

I am going to call the police.

Don't you walk away from me.

Hey!

Ow!

That is not a very good idea.

You and I are going

to have a talk

once this crazy b*tch

isn't around.

No we're not.

...and that's never going

to change.

Get out of here! Go!

And don't come back! Go!

He's crazy.

What were you thinking

coming at him like that?

I don't know, it was

just reflex I guess.

I had all these images of

my husband threatening

and beating me.

I'm so sorry.

Should we call the police?

I could stay with you tonight.

I could keep you company.

No. No no, I'm fine.

I have a lot of work

to do and...

Are you sure?

Yeah thank you.

Are you sure?

Yeah yeah.

Thanks for the food.

Okay.

Good night honey.

Alright, thanks.

Hello.

Ray.

It's Vanessa.

Heather's friend.

Really?

Well we had way too much

wine after you left

and that's when she told me.

Told you what?

That she still loves you.

She went on and on about how

she really feels about you.

That's when I felt truly awful

for trying to stab you.

Yes, that was a little crazy.

I was going to call the cops

on you.

What else did she say?

I'd really rather not talk about

it over the phone.

Could you meet me somewhere?

I'm showing a house near

Bryant Park.

After I'm done we could

meet there?

That sounds great.

Text me the address

and I'll see you there.

Something came up I wanted

to show you.

I sent you the file.

So when I sent you the driver's

license number

that you gave me,

this is what came up.

That's not Vanessa.

Exactly.

I checked twice.

And Vanessa's what, 5'4"?

Yeah.

This Vanessa is 5'8"

I don't know what

to make of this. Do you?

No, but you could ask Jack

to look into it.

There's got to be

some explanation.

Sure, but it wouldn't hurt

to look into it.

Okay call and give him

the details

and see if he can meet

with me tomorrow.

Got it.

Hi Ray.

Nice suit.

Makes a good first impression.

Are you here just to blow smoke

or what?

Are you going to invite me in?

Wow. This is a nice house.

I should make an offer.

Are you going to tell me

what Heather said to you?

Heather is crazy in love

with you.

She went on and on about how

she misses being in your arms

and making love to you.

I knew it.

The reason she broke up

with you

is because of pressure

from her friends.

Those bastards.

That's right.

And I started thinking

if he's such a great guy,

why treat him so badly?

My thinking exactly.

And then I thought I should

get to know him better.

Much better.

Just think about it Ray.

Heather dumped you

once before,

what's to stop her

from doing it again?

She's crazy if she can't see

what a catch you are.

You are my kind of man.

You are strong, demanding,

successful.

Powerful.

Why are you telling me this?

I told you.

I like you.

What is this? A trick?

You're Heather's friend.

If she found out you're hitting
