Janelle POV
I wake up to my phone ringing, of course its dad.
Me:Hello?
Dad:Meet me at the police station, your mom was arrested.
Me:Here I come.
Dad:Don't just pop up here either, Jan.
Me:I know, see you in a minute.
I get up and brush my teeth before grabbing my mother's car keys and heading out.
I see my dad and Hassan standing at the door, I walk to the lady at the front desk but Hassan calls me back. I walk around to them.
Me:Why was she arrested?
Hassan:They're saying she was going against peoples civil rights .
Me:Not Lynn Stewart she barely wants to kill bugs let alone harm people.
Hassan:Well it doesn't help that the name Jefferson Pierce is trash in Freeland right now. People say you betrayed the entire city. But I trusted Bill Henderson with my life. And apparently he trusted you with his. So you got five minutes.
Me:Why am I here?
Dad:I took a cab here, and I don't need the other two acting out here.
Me:Okay, I'll-
Hassan:You can wait with me.
I look to him and nod before he let's my dad in the room. It's silent for a minute before I speak.
Me:I'm sure you know who Tobias Whale is.
Hassan:Yes, he's running for mayor. What about him?
Me:He's the one doing this.
Hassan:... Why would he want to do that?
Me:*sighs* Long story short? My grandfather was killed by him and he's determined to ruin my dad's life and ours.
He folds his arms and I look at him.
Hassan:Can you prove any of this?
Me:I mean I'm sure I can, but seeing how Tobias works it's nearly impossible to get him caught up.
Hassan:Then why are you telling me this?
I've already told this man why. He don't listen.
Me:Because, Hassan, you're probably the only good cop here, Mr. Henderson was but he's not here anymore. All I'm saying is if you hear his name being involved in anything, don't get in it. Because it's nothing but trouble.
Hassan:And why would I trust you, it seems like your whole family is doing nothing but bad.
Before I can speak I see someone walking towards us. He states he's representing Lynn and Hassan let's him in.
Hassan:Look, if you can prove to me what Tobias has done, I'll try to do something.
He walks into the room and tells my dad he has to go. Once they leave out I follow. Once we're back in the front my dad leaves out and I turn to Hassan.
Me:Look, I wasn't telling you that because I wanted a favor. I was telling you that because I don't want to see another good person, good cop die at the hands of this crap. Just stay away from anything dealing with Tobias.
