Can one seemingly small event change your life dramatically? What would happen if as you stroll through the park with your boyfriend, he thumps some random stranger over the head? First of all you scream; any respectable, well breed girl screams when her boyfriend fights. Once your initial duty scream is over, you yell at them to stop. You are hoping a police man will enter the scene as they always do in films. Why don’t they have good timing in real life? You’re getting quite scared for your boyfriend, the other guy is huge and no one is appearing to help. Finally, it comes to a stand still with the other guy clearly about to finish off your boyfriend; this man could eat you for dinner! But, something amazing happens. The other guy looks up into your horrified and pleading eyes and lets your boyfriend go. As the random stranger walks off you fall to your knees to help your man.
“What was that?” you ask. Your boyfriend, still spitting blood, explains he had been defending your honor. The random stranger had been eyeing you with the look no “peter priesthood” gives to anyone but his wife. Most respectable men don’t ever know how to give that look. Your disgust justifies his fight.
As you enter your apartment alone that night you wonder about the day’s happenings. He had always told you how gentle hearted he was. He had said he hated violence. He had said he wouldn’t ever start a fight. He had lied to you! What else did he lie about? You need time away from him to sort this out in your mind. He needs at least 24 hours to recover from that fight; that would give you time.
The next afternoon he calls you. You’ve secretly decided to forgive him and try to start again, so you quickly accept his invitation for dinner in a few nights. He tells you to wear that red cocktail dress he likes. You’re going to a fancy dinner.
He picks you up at 7:30 as planned and he’s wearing a brand new tux. You are going to a really fancy dinner. His limo, that you never knew he had, drives both of you to the most exclusive restaurant in town. Doubts of the man sitting next to you begin to rise again. You gather your courage and as he escorts you into the dining area you ask who’s paying for this extravagance. He smugly replies that he is. He had just received a bonus at work and wanted to treat you to a night on the town. “A bonus from Blockbuster could pay for this?” you wonder. Something feels very wrong.
The next morning you hire the best detective you can afford to follow him for a few days. Avoiding him isn’t hard. You have a huge project at work and the deadline is soon. Mr. Moonlight, your incredibly expensive detective, comes to your office to show you his findings. You listen to the tapes and stare at the pictures. You cannot believe it! Your boyfriend belongs to the Mafia! He had recently blackmailed a man who paid him to keep quiet.
As you struggle to breathe he calls. It’s time for your lunch date. Still stunned you amble down the stairs to meet him. One look and he knows something’s wrong. One look and you know you cannot endure one sentence with this potential killer. You dart for the door but he grabs your arm first. After instructing you to act normal and keep quiet he leads you out the door. He’s kidnapping you.
After a few days with no sign of payment your hired detective gets worried. He goes to your parents. They had received a ransom note that morning. Going directly against the note’s instructions Mr. Moonlight calls the sheriff and begins planning. Your parents, Mr. Moonlight, and the sheriff’s most trusted men are involved in a super secret plot to rescue you. You will never learn the details of that plan.
The plan worked perfectly. You return to your parent’s house where you watch Disney movies and eat ice cream for a week of recovery. Your ex-boyfriend is sent to jail with no hope of escape. His Mafia boss was not happy about the blackmailing. Soon enough everything pretty much goes back to normal.
That is what happens when as you stroll through the park with your boyfriend he thumps some random stranger over the head.

Wow. Very interesting story line. As I was reading, I couldn't help but wonder if you were trying to put yourself in the woman's shoes, and Judge as the mafia ex. Not that I'm implying anything... but still. Can't wait until the screen play comes out. ;)
That is awesome. I did not know that Judge was getting paid off.
I know, I know, it is not about Judge. That would be cool though. Wouldn't he have to pay us off if it was though.
He should. ^_^ Anywho, that was fun hun! Loved the way you tied it up at the end. Although having the mob boss come after you after putting his best man behind bars would've been fun too! : p I guess I like danger. I must admit that when it started I thought about you and Judge too. Heehee, Judge in the mafia...actually...naaah.
Wow!
Interesting story. It kinda rang true to Judges attitude if you ask me. The professed "non-violence" and the deep seeded hatred of all that is not like himself. Haha. Anyway, Keep writing those almost real drama's that keep me at the edge of my seat. Thanks for the read.
