RUTHLESSLY

Captured

Karma's pov

I stood frozen in fear staring back at the officer "She isn't here.." I lied through my teeth, I had no other choice seeing as we had no idea where Jade had gone on the property or somewhere else, I just prayed she stayed out of sight as much as my worrying heart wanted to find her. I knew she had to be on the property somewhere I wasn't gone for that long, it felt as though I had turned my back on a toddler for two seconds and somebody came and snatched them up. My eyes fled from sheriff Mark's to Jason's I could tell his mind was working I could feel the gears in his head shifting, steaming, the smug look on his face as he stared me down like a wolf stalking its prey gave it away.

"Where would we find her?" Mark asked me, I knew Mark ever since I was a little girl, he and my father were partners before the world turned upside down on us. I loved my father but, hated hearing mark say he was a great officer he was idiotic in my eyes after he raged out killing our mother. Mark's face had a smug look too, not as intense as Jason but rather in the way that he though he was smart, above me, above everyone just because of his badge. 

"I couldn't tell you." I said almost smart mouth like, he thought that he was smarter and that pissed me off he thought he could come here and dis my family acting like he knew something about our tragedy, well he didn't and I wasn't about to let my baby sister fall into the hands of someone who thought they were doing the right thing. "I took her away from here, after all I have everyone around me threatening to take her away." I spat, staring them both in the eyes "She has two siblings old enough to care for her am I not fit to that role?" 

They both stared back at me silently, Jody hadn't bothered to say a word but why would he? None of what he could say was his place and he knew that, none of this was even his fight but he decided to side with her knowing right from wrong and I was sure as hell glad he was on my side now because he could have been standing over there with the fucking feds Jason decided to bring onto my property, one of which who thought he had a right to be there, place in the picture. I looked at marks face, his dirty blonde hair and gross looking goatee that cut off just at the end, he disgusted me. 

"No? I guess you'd rather her be in the hands of someone who'd make her suffer." 

Jason's brow furrowed into and angry position and he curled his lip. Oh had I just made him angry, he grunted making mark look from Jason back to myself his expression a worried one as if he was scared of Jason's reaction, "Now that's enough. Jason has paper's and he's the signed guardian to that little girl, if you don't like it you should take it up to the court."  He highly stated. "If Jaden isn't here, you wouldn't mind us searching the house, would you?" he cocked an eyebrow bring his arm down almost in a curtsey position across his chest, I hope that he was asking me to dance because I wasn't fucking cinderella and I wouldn't just step on his toes, I'd stick my high heel up his ass.

"Go search as you please," I calmly retorted throwing my hand down and bowing a bit copying his motion except exemplifying it. He scoffed and pushed passed me brushing against my arm I came up from my lowered position and crossed my arms across my chest returning my stern  gaze towards Jason and the rest of the pigs that stood outside my home. 

After a few minutes Mark exited the door and shook his head at Jason, telling him she wasn't there. Jason took his eyes off me then stared a Jody coldly, suspiciously.  "Just as I told you, I have no reason to lie." 

Mark turned around having his back towards me and standing closely to Jason's  shoulder,  reeling his head over his own to look at me. "Right, so where'd you take her?" he asked slyly. 

"Now why would I tell you that?" I almost laughed, he turned and Jason followed behind him never did he utter a single word. 

"You couldn't have taken her far..." his voice was turning to a mumble as they walked away, along with the rest of the officers. "We'll find her, and we'll let ya know when we do" Mark evilly smirked, slamming his car door as Jason slammed his trucks. I watched them clear out as I felt Jody move closer towards me, my back was to him.
