i get pushes out of the car and into the station. i get sat in a room with just a table and chair. there's a mirror on one wall, which i know they're coppers watching me from. my hands are still handcuffed behind my back and my wrists are killing. they put the handcuffs on so tight. after about ten minutes a man enters the room. he places a coffee and file on the table and stares me down.
"i'm gunna need to ask you a few questions.. that okay?"
i nod my head.
"what's your name?"
"harley miller"
"age?"
"seventeen"
"we tried contacting your parents but no response"
"mums dead, dads an alcoholic"
"hm. now who set you up to this? i mean stealing from the cameron house isn't a very smart choice and you look like a smart girl"
"my dad. he said-" i pause, taking a breath.
"he said that if i didn't he would beat me"
the officer frowns.
"now does he regularly do this to you"
i nod my head, feeling ashamed i let this happen. i look back up to see the officer staring at me. i can see he's debating two options.
"i can't do much about your crime but i can your fathers, you let me know where he is or might be and i can go arrest him" he gives me a smile.
"h-hes probably at our house" he nods.
"how long will i be locked up for"
"right now we can only take you in for a night, seeing as your seventeen and haven't committed that big of a crime since you didn't break anything."
i breathe out a sight of relief.
"but at the same time, your messing with the cameron's and ward didn't seem that happy when i last seen him. he wants you locked up for life"
"bu-but that's not gunna happen right"
"nope even if he did get the court involved, your a minor.. meaning nothing can really happen to you. now i'm going to take you to your cell for the night."
i nod, standing up. he grabs my wrists and leads me out of the room and down a hallway. he takes me to a cell and uncuffs me.
"now this is your home for the night" he slightly laughs. "have fun kiddo" he locks the cell and walks away. i feel glad having such a nice officer deal with me since i'm already frightened to death as it is.
