Chapters 4-5

Chapter 4

Jerry made the mistake of helping Senator Robert Truman when he lost his senate seat due to scandal Word got out that Sen. Truman was having an affair with the famous Hollywood actress, Shaely Harrison, most notably known for her recent movie, The Supernatural Project, that co-starred, Jimmy Henderson.

Sen. Truman was seen on numerous occasions having dinner with Ms. Harrison. But the last photo op was of the two of them kissing in Cabo San Lucas when Sen. Truman was supposedly in senate meetings. Sen. Truman had managed to skip the senate meetings and make his way to Cabo to spend some time with Ms. Harrison. After the scandalous affair was exposed, Sen. Truman's devoted wife, Daisy, who was devastated by the affair, threw him out of their mansion and filed for divorced. Daisy got a sizable chunk of Sen. Truman's estate, which left him virtually penniless and homeless. With nowhere to turn, Sen. Truman was on the streets, panhandling for food. He couldn't believe one affair could do this to him.

When Jerry came upon Sen. Truman panhandling, he immediately felt compassion for him and walked with him to the shelter. When Jerry and Robert Truman arrived at the shelter, a volunteer worker immediately recognized Jerry.

“Hey, Jerry, how's it hanging! So you're The Gifter that everyone is talking about?

“What? No way, I have no idea what you are talking about?”Jerry told the volunteer.

“Sure you do. It's all been aired on YouTube. Everyone you've helped. It's all on YouTube.” the volunteer informed him.

“What do you mean, it's all on YouTube?” Jerry asked.

“Here. Here's the link. Go see for yourself.” the volunteer told him, scribbling the link on paper for Jerry.

 Jerry took the piece of paper from the volunteer, who took Robert Truman in and helped him to a warm bed and meal. Jerry couldn't believe all his hard work was blown. His identity as The Gifter had been exposed. How could he do good for others now that his identity had been blown? Who could have exposed his secret? Jerry intended to find out just who blew his anonymous identity and posted it up on YouTube.

Chapter 5

When Jerry arrived home, Sarah left a letter for Jerry laying on the dining room table along with a note explaining that she was out shopping. After Jerry read Sarah's note, he picked up the letter and opened it. He was shocked when he saw it was from his ex-fiancee, Cathie Strickly. He thought he would never have to hear from Cathie after she was convicted of second-degree attempted murder for trying to kill him. The judge handed Cathie a life sentence of 25 to life with possibility for parole. He was sure she would never get parole. It was shocking that Cathie was getting parole after just ten years in prison. Her letter had mentioned that she was getting time off for being a model prisoner.

Jerry tossed the letter in the trash. “How could she get out so quick?” Jerry thought to himself.

Cathie Strickly is decorating her new apartment after getting out of prison. She knew that all she had to do was be the model prisoner. She went so far as to work whenever she could, be it, in the kitchen, laundry, she even got to work in the infirmary a few times. She knew it would be worth it if she could get early parole. And sure enough, it paid off. She managed to convince those stupid fools on the parole board that she was a changed person. Damn, she was good! She knew she had it in her to be convincing.

Now she was decorating her secret room in her new apartment: photos and clippings of Jerry, past and present. In fact, one wall was devoted to his work as The Gifter that she managed to get via her trusted henchman, Rusty, who was such a dear to her. Rusty would do anything for Cathie, so it was no problem when she asked him to find Jerry and paid him for his work getting proof that Jerry was The Gifter.

 Now, all Cathie had to do was put her next plan in motion. Kill Jerry's wife, Sarah, so she could resume her life as Jerry's rightful wife. And she would stop at nothing to get what she wanted!
