Thepatrol officers checked in withGinnieandEd.Whenthey determinedFelixandIcouldn’t hear their questions, they left us alone with the paramedics.Inreality, my hearing was starting to come back a little, but everything was muffled andIwanted to tell my story to the detectives, not the patrol officers.
Theparamedics took our blood pressure and shined lights in our eyes and ears.AllIwanted was to go back to bed and look at my unicorn photo for a while.
Strangely, whenIpictured that,Felixwas lying next to me.
Tonitapped my shoulder and handed my phone back.Shepointed at the phone then pointed toward the people crowding around the barrier the cops had set up.Ah,Fostermust be here.Ithanked her.
Theparamedic shoved a tablet in my face.He’dtyped,Yourfriend says your leg is injured.Pleasedescribe your injury and pain level.
Ugh.Fine.AsIwas about to tell him,Fostersprinted up, followed closely byAmy,CarlosandArtie.CarlosandArtiepeeled off to go talk toFelix, andFosterandAmyheaded for me.
Fostergrabbed my shoulder. “Youokay?” he asked.Icould barely hear him, but the words were clear enough ifIwatched his lips.
Inodded. “Landedon my right hip, but otherwiseI’mfine.Ican answer questions.”Irefrained from hugging myself.
Fosterand the paramedic had a brief discussion, which ended with the paramedic walking off shaking his head.Ismirked atFoster, but he didn’t look amused.
“Whatthe hell happened?”
Ishrugged. “You’llhave to get the details fromFelix.”Ijerked my head toward the man in question.CarlosandArtiehad moved him several feet away, no doubt to speak more privately. “Wewere leaving the house, and there was a box on top ofFelix’scar.”Fosterflicked his eyes over my shoulder atFelix’ssedan.
AmynudgedFosterto the side, her hands held up in atime outshape.Sheleaned down and shouted, “Backthe fuck up.WhendidFelixget here?”Fostershot her a look, but she protested, “Wehave to determine the timeline!”Shegrinned, raising her eyebrows and giving me acome ongesture.
PretendingIwas my normal self,Irolled my eyes. “Hegot here last night around 7pm.Wehad an appointment for him to do a massage session withMariposa.Itwas raining really hard so he stayed over.”Fosternarrowed his eyes andAmywas smirking, but they could kiss my ass.WhatFelixandIhad or had not done wasn’t pertinent to the investigation.
Icrossed my arms and continued. “Thebox was on top of the car when we came outside around 7:30am.Felixsaid he knew what was in it.Hewas angry and it sounded like he has one or more stalkers who may have been leaving him other boxes, butIdon’t think this was what he expected.”Igestured at the street. “Iasked him what was in the box and then he told me he’d show me.Hethrew it in the street, and it exploded.”Ishrugged. “Idon’t know what was supposed to happen.”Ihad so many fucking questions forFelix.He’dbetter be willing to answer them.AfterIspent a couple of hours holding him.
FosterandAmyglanced over to whereFelixwas getting questioned.Nodoubt we’d both have to go to the station later to give formal statements.Theparamedic showed back up andFosterandAmyleft to do some investigating.I’dmuch rather be doing that than talking about my leg.
