Next door neighbor the conclusion.

Tes was an enigma in Manny ways.she was very girlie. She loved to ware dresses. She loved fashion.at the same time,s he was a bit of a Tom boy. She seemed to be both
A part of her could not believe that she was in south Sudan.another part of her was not surprised by this. Her life routinely took unexpected moves.it certently did today. 
She followed the militia that perused the warlords aided by arms merchant behind the relief group .the militia had there guns on standby. They ran to the enemy staging area.
The crates had been brought from the plane to the ground. There we're members of the arms dealers and the local warlords.
The enemy militia opened fire on the rival army. Tess ran to the battle. The two sides engaged the other.
Tess saw someone She recognized. "Donald Marburg , this hardly looks food and other humanitarian supplies "she said. "You canot bring peace with doctors ,nurses and clean watter. Every time we try to give aid we are attacked. We are sitting ducks. The only answer is to let the sides fight it out. Let one side take out the other or both sides be weak that they cannot fight any more. As long as the warlords want to fight. The comon people will always be caught in the middle. " Don said .
As they talked,the fighting continued. Tess had to dodge bullets and fired some as well. "You are making it worse. You making a disaster into a Tsunami. Your hurting the people."she said
"The poor always get caught in the criaa fire. They are pawns. They will always be. We cab mitigate it.escalation will bring peace eventually. You must rare it down to build it up again. The Phoenix rising from the ashes. We bring the ashes and the Phoenix."he said
More armies loyal to the militia that Tess was working with arrived. The arms merchants were hoping for secrecy. That had been blow up totally. There was no chance of that at this point.
"Why do this? Why make things worse. Your phropheting from calamity !"She said. "Everyone benefits from the calamity of others. Its the way of things. "He said."You make it worse. " Tess said.
The battle was going to the direction of those aligned with Tess. They had sealed the arms dealers and there  allies. They were trapped.
While the battle was televised on multiple formats on the web. News outlets around the world picked it up everyone was watching.
The arms dealers were paid soldiers of fortune,murcinaries.they had no real skin in the game. They started to flea.
Eventualy the warlords allied with the foreign companies surrendered. The weapons were sacured. "I spoke to some friends in the defense department. They are going to pick up the weapons. "Tess said. "No one is going to do business with the south Sudan relief group. The north will have eag on there face!"Simon said. "Good "She said.
"I hope so. "Tess said. "Hopfully we can get foreign agitators out. We can really help our people!" Simon said. "I will help in any way I can. When your country won independence I was routing for your country. I stil am. "Tess said. "One way or another we will make this country work. "Simon said. "I believe you will."she said.
"This is Jessica Armstrong with breaking news. The world is in shock.video footage has gone viral showing groups attached to a charity group selling weapons to factions in south Sudan. There are rumors that these groups were front for the north Sudan. While the justice department has launched an investigation. As gas congress. The United nations ,European union and other world agencies are investigating. The f.b.I has dispatched agent to south Sudan relief group headquarters. " the reporter said.
Tess returned to the sates.she learned that becca had been arrested.she decided to visit her. She waited in visitors area. Becca was dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit.she was shackled. " I am sorry. I made One bad chioce witch led to a thousand more. "She said
"Look I am not hear to judge you .I am not a prosecutor. The case as far as I am concerned is over. I am not hear as Teresa the directive but tesi your friend."she said.
"I will fully cooperate with the investigation. They are going to reach a plea. I will do some time. Will you visit me?"she asked. "Count on it. This need not be the end. You can turn this around. Thus can't be a bump in the road not a ledge. "She said. "I know that.  "Becca answered.
Tess came home. Tess hugged and kissed brad. They stoped and just embraced. She then hugged her kids and her baby.She gave moya a kiss from her pretend mom who although was wrong did love her. "How is ron?"Tess asked. "I have shown him every Bob Jones movie there is. He has made the best of it.I think he knows this is the last movies he will get to see for quite some time. "He said.
"Please promise me that you will slow down. No taking on terrorist. " brad said. "Dead I will stic to lost puppies for a while. List puppies in this zip code. " she promised. "Sounds good. " he said.
Ron was picked up by the police. Ron thanked them for there hospitality. Ron was going to talk to the authorities.he would probably get some kind of deal as well.
Tess called the real parents of moya. "Hi Mrs coulder?" Tess asked. "Yes!"Grace coulder said ."I'm tessi. I believe I have your daughter. We will need to do DNA test and go though hoops with the sate but she is healthy and safe." she said.
The coulder came as fast as they humanly get there. They ran out of the car. Gracie took moya from Tess and held her. Both parents cried. It was a happy ending.
The end.
Tessi Wil return.
Next up
Tessi wakes up in her car. She had no idea how she got there. She was in an accident. She tested positive for alcohole and drugs. Now She faces jail time. She has no memory of what happened. Was is the truth?

Next door neighbor part six

Tess never expected to see Ron Grant in her house and at her table. Once brad determined that Ron was unarmed,tesi put on a bath robe and came down the stairs.she sat down.tess made coffe. They all started to drink cofe.
"Ok lets start at the begInning." tes said. "I served in the army.I was in Afghanistan. I was recruited to join what I was told was a non govermentle peace keeping force. I was told we were doing good.we were protecting aid workers. " Ron said.
"That was not what was happening?" brad asked. "No .the aid is a front.it was to get us in the country. As you suspected we were selling weapons to both sides of the factions in the cival war. " Ron said.
Tessi picked up moya and held her.she seemed to like her. "What was the goal of the weapons supply?"tess asked.
"The south Sudan relief fund was the brand child of the Sudanese government. We are a subsidiary of the Sudanese military. Our goal was to escalate the I fighting between the president and former vice president cause a full scale rival war. Then Sudan Invades on humanitarian grounds. While western groups secretly aligned with Sudan including the s.s.r.g comes out and supports it "Ron said.
"Once Sudan gets in,they won't pull out. They will prop up local government loyal to them. "She said. "By the time the African union arrives,most of the country will be under There control. While aid groups that come in will be secretly allied with the north. Western coperations will Make a lot of mony. "Ron said.
"Ok where does you and becka come in?"brad asked. "The s.s.r.g identified individuals and groups that could 've a problem . ones that have minds that are a little too inquiring. You made the list. You were targeted to be spied on. They wanted us to pretend to be your next door neighbors. "Ron said.
"Its is not just us. Earnie is one of ours. "He said. "The old guy?"brad asked. "Among others!"he said. "What about the baby?"tests asked. "We are not really married. We never met  before we were partnered for the mission.we even slept in different rooms. "He said.
"Why did She steal the baby?"tests asked. "The baby actually has nothing to do with the relief group scandal. Becka wanted to have kids. She could not find Mr right. She decided to kidnap a kid. My employees caught up with her and threatened to go to the police unless she helped us. "He' said.
"Where is she now?"tests said. "We were split up. The relief group are not happy with us. You see the killer was also a spy. Becca decided to double cross the group. The group ordered him to kill us. Becca killed him first. She said it was self defense. I don't know if it was or not. " he said.
"So they have infiltrated other churches and religious organizations?"yes asked. "Yes they have. They like control. "He said. "Why help a dictator reclaim territory?"brad asked. "Cream!"he said. "Cream?"brad asked. "It is an acronym. It memes cash rule a everything around me. "She said. "Look this weapons deal will happen in a couple days. The weapons will be sold then the north will wait until they have weekond each other.then the north will strike. "Ron said.
"B let's talk for a minute. Will You excuse us?"she asked. "Sure!"he said.they went over to a corner.They spoke softly.
"Are we going to turn him over to the police tessi?"he asked. "Not yet!"she said. "What do you mean not yet?"brad asked. "Hunnie if we tell the police they will want to question us,probably put us back into protective custody. " she said.
"I really get the inpreson that I am.not going to like us!"he said. "I need you to babysit him while I go to south Sudan. I am going to get evidence linking the group to  smuggling!"She said. "Tesa bear are you crazy?"he asked. "We have to expose this plot and we have to do it soon . if they get away with us,this could bring down the credibility of every institution we hold dear. "She said.
"What do I do with him?"he asked ."well I have lasagna in the fridge. There is several turkeys . you can have him watch out collection of on Jones movies.I would start with flame in the wind then the printing."she said ."this is a bad idea Tessa bear.
"Brad I have to stop this. We are all being used. Used for greed. The name of the Lord is about to be blasphemed
I have a chance to stop it. Please I can do this . this is what I was trained to do. "Tess said.
"If you get caught neither the Sudanese military or the factions of the south Sudan or the soldiers of fortune word hesitate to kill you. It is  dangerous. "Brad said.
"If we don't expose this. They Will continue to ship weapons using charities to help them do it.  This kind of behavior will continue. "She said.
"Why can't I go? "Brad said. "B! I can do this. I have been trained to do this. I know I can do this. I can put an end to this plot. "She said.
"I should go with you?"he asked. "Someone needs to watch the kids,and keep an eye on ron. "She said. "Alright I love you!" brad said. "I love you. "She said.
She got dressed. She book tickets on several air liners. She packed light. She went to the air port. She took several connecting flights. Finally she arrived in the south Sudan.
She was met by several man. " tests I am Simon. I am a representive of the free south sudden army. "He said.
"Did your contact tell you what I needed?"she asked. "Yes he did.you will have My full help. Welcome to south Sudan." he said.
They continued to walk. He motioned for everyone to be quiet. They heard noises. They saw a plane. She recognized It as one that supposed to be transporting relief supplies. There were crates of weapons. She took stil pictures and videos.she imietly uploaded them to face book you tube and other sources.
They made sure it got though.whatever happened,the evidence would be out there.
"You have your proof?"Simon asked. "I do. "She said. She knew that Simon and his men would be attacking the smugglers. She wished that Simon would not resort to violence. She knew it was inevetible.
To be concluded.

Case of the next door neighbor (part three)

Tess was a stay at home mom. Well for the most part.she ran a consulting firm. The firm mostly did back ground check usually for non prophets. This was a compromise with her husband.
Her husband was old fashioned. He wanted her to be a stay at home mom. She had been in the military and liked to work.
  There was a saying,tessi did not have to go looking for trouble,trouble found tessi. At the next house,a man tried to break in. A young wife was forced to open fire killing the man.
The police arrived almost immediately. The police and crime scene unit collected evidence. They interviewed witnesses.they canvases the neighborhood.
Detective Morgan and his partner detective Greer returned to the station. "Detectives good! We have identified the deceased would be home invader. "The chief said.
"Who is it?"Greer asked. "Micheal Aden Glover , age 29. He has been in and out of jail and probation . he is a petty criminal. Everything from shop lifting to pick poket,breaking and entering and the like. " the chief said .
"This might be a robbery gone bad."Greer said. "Never trust the obvious conclusion. Sometimes they lie. "Morgan said. "While that is quite a clinical view he has a point. I want you to go to Glover"s apartment. "The chief said.
The two detectives went to the apartment where Glover lived .the superintendent of the building opened the door.
The apartment had a kitchel,living room bed room and bathroom. The apartment was spartin. There was a glass table and a recliner. That was it. The place hardly felt lived in.
They looked around. All over the house was tons of pictures. The pictures were all of tess. There was teas at the playground,tess at the super market. Tess at church. The whole unit was a shrine dedicated to tess.
"Oh my!.Greer said. "We need to contact the chief now! The senior detective said.
  Tess answered the door. She recognized the man. It was Josh tester. Tester was an independent journalist. He studied charity and non prophets. "Come on in. Cofee?"she asked. He had coffee with cream and surger they Sat down.
"So what do you have on the Sudan relief fund?"she asked. "The charity itself is really good. All donations go to help the people of south Sudan."she said. "Why do I sense a but?"she asked.
"There seams to be an interlocking cooperate directorship with an arms company that provides security for the charity arm. Under the agreement in Copenhagen,benprossor cooperation can operate in south Sudan only to protect the relief efforts. I have documented evidence of benprossor corps in areas that the refuge relief centers were not. I can't prove it but I suspect that prosercorp is using the charity to justify it's presence in south Sudan. "He said.
"I assume they are selling to both sides in the conflict?"she asked. "That is what I suspect. "He said. "So the relief group does what it claims to do?"she asked. "As far as donations going to Sudanese people,they are great. I suspect it is a front !"he said.
"With everything I have seen,I have to advise the church to not support the s.s.r.f. I am going to ruffle some feathers . "she said.
"I don't deny the quandry your in. There are not Manny relief groups operating there. "He said.
"Do you know why they are doing this?"tess asked. "That I have not determined yet. It could be for a multitude of reasons. " tester said.
"I will study the documents you have given to me. I have some time before I have to give a report to the deacons but people are getting antsy. " she said.
"I gave you a list of people who have done investigative work on the group.please contact them !"he said."I will!"she said.
Sudenly outside several police cars arrived on the property. The two were startled. Detective Morgan and Greer went up the stairs.
They opened the door. "Hi detective!"tess said. "Who is this?"Morgan asked. "Josh tester ,he is an independent journalist and blogger. He is consulting with me on a case. "Tess said.
"Can we talk in private ?"Greer asked."ok!"tess said. Tess was really confused. Why were they hear. She went over to a corner with the two detectives. "We no longer think that this was a break in gone bad. We think he got the wrong house !"Morgan said. "We think that you were the target !"Greer said.
"Me?"she asked. "The descendent was stalking you. He had a shrine in your horror. Look we need to put you into protective custody."he said.
"Why? The man is dead. The threat is over is it not?"she asked. "I think so. I am not taking a chance. Until we are sure I want you protected. I want to know what we are feeling with. "Morgan declared.
While she was reluctant to go along with this,she knew she really did not have a choice. Her experience with law enforcement taught her not to challenge them on things like this. She was not totally sure that the detectives fear was unwarranted.
She would not admit it but she was not sure she was totally safe. She was not sure her family was safe. She decided not to fight it too much.
"Look we want to get you out of this house. Is there some place you can go a relative?"Greer asked. "My mom lives in the next town over. " she said. "Call her. See you can go there.we want to check the house for servalience devices explosives anything else." Morgan said .
"Alright! I suppose I have to tell my husband.he is going to freak out!"she declared. "We want to get him protection as well. "Greer said. "I figured. "She said. "Do you want us to tell him or do you want to tell him?"grer asked. "He will flip out either way!"she said.
"Look the guy with you. The blogger. You trust him?"Morgan asked. "I have known him for years. He is a good guy. Are you just being cacious?"she asked. "I never assume anything. "Morgan said.
She called her mom. She got pwrmison to stay at her house. She called her husband. They met at a church picnic. She was very girlie at least in civilian life. As s child her Barbie doles were spies who stoped Ken who was a Hamas sleeper cell member from killing a tedy bear who was the Israeli ambassador but any ways.
He did not tell her that she had been in the military. She had left before they met. She did not tell him until they had bean on a few dates. He hardly knew what a gun looked like. She suspected were he not a fundy,he would be a liberal anti gun activist. 
He wanted to be the bread winner.he was a c.p.a and made good money.he could provide for her. She did not have to work. He wanted her to be a stay at home mom but she wanted to work. They compromised.she could work from home. Her cases had to be back check grounds nothing dangerous . no James bond stuf he said. "Try and stop me!"he said. "They are just being carefull. "She said. " I'm not reassured yet Tessa pod!" he said. "I tried. Don't panic brad! "She said. "I am coming to the house. We can go to gloria's house from there together. "He said. "I knew that. Brad your going to stay calm right?"she said. "Yes I am. "He said. "Ok ! I will see you soon. I love you!"She said. "I love you!"he said.
While she teased him over his protective nature and his less then macho narure,she knew that there was nothing he would not do to protect her and there kids. She knew if they were in danger ,no threat stood a chance against him.
While she would never admit it,she was spooked. She knew that the detectives were not convinced that the threat was over and neither was she.

Case of the next door neighbor (stay at home mom)

Chapter two
Tessi and her husband when they heard a noise. "Its coming from Ron and becca's house. " she said. He got out his gun. "Stay hear!"her husband  said.
Tess understood his need to protect her. It was not always easy. Tessi had served in the us military.He  was a cpa who flunked out of boy scouts. She had no doubt that in a pinch no one could get pass him if they threatened her or there children.
He went stelthaly to the home of there neighbors.his gun was branded. He was ready for anything. He went inside.
Tes called 911. She told the dispatcher that they heard possible gun schots at the home of Ron and Rebecca Kent. She gave as much details as she could remember.
Tes's husband entered the home. He saw a man on the ground dead. Becca was leaning over his corpse. She had a gun.
The man was shot in the head. He was careful not to interfere with any evidence.  Becca was in shock. He saw in the other room. Ron was bleeding.he had been stabbed but the wound looked superficial.
Ron started to tell his story. "Lets wait for the police!" the husband said. "Ok!"Ron said.
The husband checked upstairs. The kids were Stil asleep. They had slept though it. The police and ambulance arrived at the home. Not long after.
The body was looked at. The crime scene officials got right to work.
The witness were taken to separate rooms. The police knew almost nothing. Just that a man was dead.
"Please Mrs Kent tell me what happened?" detective Warren asked. "We had gone to bed. I went downstairs to use the rest room. I heard a noise. I grabed a gun we keep in a safe in the closet. I took it out. He charged me so I shot him " she declared.
"You have never seen this man before in your life?" the detective asked. "No never!"she answered. "You have no idea why he came hear?"the detective asked. "No I don't. "She said.
"Beck told me she was going down stairs. She. Went.next thing I knew I heard the gun shot. I went down stairs and saw her hovering over the body. She told me he attacked her so she shot him!" Ron said.
"You did not see her shot him ?"detective brigs asked. "No I did not.I came at the tail end. "He said.
"What did she tell you about it?"the detective asked. "She was stunned. She did get out that he lunged at her. She said she had no choice!"he said. "She said those exact words?"the detective asked. "Yes or something like that.
"She said something to that affect?' The detective asked. "Yes she did!"he said. "Who owned the gun?"he asked. "It is in my naime. We have both passedback ground checks. "Ron said. "Have you ever been robed before?"the detective asked. "No!"he said.
Tess' husband was interviewed.he told how he heard the shot. They wanted the precise Times. They asked his occupation. They als asked how well he knew the Kent's. He explained that they just moved in a mounth earlier.
"So were they a happy couple ?"the detective asked. "As far as I could tell. They were very quiet. They kept to themselves. "He explained.
Tess was interviewed as well as others neighbors. Tessi and her husband tried to get some sleep.

  The next day Tess got a knock at th door."earnie hi!"she said."I heard you have not completed the vetting of the Sudan relief group?"earnie said. "It is taking longer then I anticipated. I want to be the rough!"she said. "I don't understand. The people of south Sudan need our help. "The older man said.
"I understand but I can't rush this. "She said. "Is there a problem?" he asked. "I can't discuss It! " she said. "Alright. "He said.
The scene next door was Stil chaotic.she wished she could be a fly on the wall. She figured she would find out eventually.
