Back in Miami, Julia was in her kitchen pouring herself a drink when her phone rang.
“Who is that? I’m not expecting any calls,” she walked towards the phone on the kitchen wall and answered it, “hello.”
“Julia, when were you going to tell me about Ron?”
“Horatio, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Julia,” Horatio’s tone of voice scared Julia a little, “don’t lie to me. I know about your business venture with him now tell me the truth. How did this come about?”
“Look Horatio, my business plans have nothing to do with you…”
Horatio furiously interrupted her, “it does when Ron has Dammo put in hospital. I want to know everything.”
“Oh god, I didn’t know. Is he okay?”
“That is none of your concern right now. I want answers and I want them now,” the anger that went through him was almost uncontrollable. He was just glad that he wasn’t in the same room as her.
“Well, Ron approached me asking to be a silent partner in a strip club business. At first I said no as it’s not the sort of business that I want to be involved in. He persisted and eventually I gave in. He told me that he needed me to apply for the licence as he couldn’t. I agreed and sorted it out for him.”
“And you never thought to contact me? You know the department has been trying to find him.”
“I know Horatio but he has changed. He went to New York to start a new life away from you. I helped him, he is my husband after all.”
Horatio was stunned, “I thought you contacted his attorney to file for a divorce?”
“I’m sorry Horatio, I couldn’t do it. When his attorney said that he was starting a new life somewhere else, he wouldn’t tell me where. I didn’t know he was in New York until he contacted me about the club.”
“Julia, I trusted you. I will be having a talk with you when I get back to Miami. Does Kyle know about all of this?”
“He thinks I have divorced Ron as well. He doesn’t know about the strip club.”
“So not only have you lied to me after promising me ‘no more lies’ but you lied to Kyle as well.”
“Horatio, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know this was all going to happen.”
“Just do one thing for me Julia.”
“Anything, you name it.”
“Don’t talk to Ron until I tell you its safe. He may think Dammo was me and thinks that I’m dead. For now, that’s what we want him to think.”
“We?”
“I can’t tell you anymore. Just try and do this one simple thing for me, that’s all I ask right now. We will talk when I return.”
Horatio hung up leaving Julia shocked and worried.
“What did she have to say for herself?”
Horatio looked up to come face to face with Calleigh and Mac, “well, Julia is certainly full of surprises.” Horatio explained the conversation to them, leaving Calleigh lost for words.
“So she has no real explanation for her actions?” Calleigh finally managed.
“No, but I will deal with her another time. Right now, Saris is our top priority.”
“I’ll go call Flack to get uniform to pick up Sellars and Saris,” Mac took out his phone to call his colleague.
