Getting Even
How do I start this story…Hmmm…Well I got a call from a gentleman that ask if I were a notary and I responded to him by saying yes…Well he proceeded to tell me his name and where he lived…He lived in the small town of Savage Minnesota and he needed my services and that his name was Jimmy…So I asked him how I could help him…He explained that his wife was in jail at West Valley Detention Facility in Rancho Cucamonga California on a Fraud case and that she was going to be there for at least a year…So he needed a power of attorney signed by her so that he could take care of their affairs while she was in jail…So he asked how much I charged and he said he would send me the money and the Power of Attorney right away… Well a few days later the paperwork came that he needed signed and so I was off to West Valley Jail to meet my first real in jail person… Upon arrival I checked in with the jailer and was given a pass to go to the attorney’s visitation room… So I let myself into this locked room the size of a jail cell I assumed…After all I have never been to jail so this was a new experience to me…When the door behind me closed the cold steel door seemed to be saying your mine now…I was a little bit scared and hung on to the key that the jailer had given me to go into the room with a tight hand…Because all I could see was that they would forget I was in there and I would be stuck in jail…Well I sat down in this cold and dirty room…I don’t know what I was thinking…I guess I thought it would be like a nice office…Eventually after about 30 minutes a tall, brown haired lady dressed in orange scrubs came through the door into the room that my room shared and said hi…I asked if she was Robin and she said yes…She wanted to know who I was and I told her that her husband had sent me to notarize the power of attorney…The thing I noticed about her was her warm smile and her beautiful eyes…This was not a hard criminal…But a mom and wife…She signed all the papers and we chatted…She seems to yearn for conversation that was not jail oriented…I must have stayed with her for about 1 hour…I could see she was upset and not in her element so I didn’t mind talking to her…I learned why she was in jail…She was in on Fraud because she use to be married to an abusive husband so after their divorce she got even…She went into his 401K and took out $50,000.00 and donated it to a local CA University and in return they erected a park bench in his honor…And when she told me what was engraved on the park bench I died laughing…It is every woman’s dream to get even with an ex-husband, so this is what was engraved…”In loving of memory Capt A. Hole”…Well I left the jail laughing and knew I had made a new friend…So from that one scary day for me turned into a lasting friendship with a woman who has now become my best friend…
