On the drive back I had a feeling that this was where everything ends, that today was when my whole life would change and I was completely fine with that, I accepted what I'd done. I accepted that I had a fucked-up past, and I dealt with it in a fucked-up way. I accepted that I was in pain and build a reputation to keep people away, and with every atom of my being I hoped someone would be able to see through it, to who I was, someone who could push past all the walls and the wrongs, and the pain. To the scared boy that I was protecting from the outside world.
Turning the corner, I saw the red and blue flashing lights and crept up to my driveway before pulling up to the garage of my townhouse, which luckily Aria had left. She didn't need to see all of this. There was about a dozen vehicles parked with officers standing outside their cars. Doing my best to be unbothered I opened the garage, and left it like that before going up into the house and getting all of the keys for the vehicles before setting them out on the vehicle that they belonged to.
Logan then walked up to me dressed in a bulletproof vest, and in his eyes, I saw that he didn't really want to be here doing this but that was family for you, we never wanted to hurt one another. However, I understood why he was here and simply knelt then lied down with my hands on my head.
"Do you have anything that could stick, poke, or harm me on your person?"
"No, I do not, my phone is in the cupholder of my 458 though, and my house key is in the right-side coin pocket of my jeans," I say remembering that this was how all of this would have to go, and that regardless of how this went I'd done what I knew was right. It might not have even happened how it should have but I wasn't really one for doing things how I was supposed to.
"Thank you," Logan says moving me so that he could retrieve both my key and my phone from both me and my car, and pocketing both.
"Adrian Leo Winters you are under arrest for illegal activities in the state of New York, we have a warrant for a search of your house and seizure of your automotive fleet. You have a right to an attorney, if you do not have one, or yours isn't available, one will be provided to you. You have a right to remain silent, anything you say or do can and will be used against or for you in a court of law that depends on your level of cooperation. Do you understand the rights I have read to you today?"
"Yes, I do. I'd like to be off the wet ground Officer," I request and Logan helps lift me before leading me away towards his cruiser, while the rest of the officers finished gearing up, and walked towards the house to collect my cars, and whatever they deemed evidence in the house.
Getting into the cruiser Logan shut off the camera and audio before looking up into the mirror as he started the car.
"Where are all your guns?" he asks putting the vehicle in drive
"The Hamptons in secure gun vaults," I reply as he drove off towards the precinct.
"That's good illegal possession isn't something that the court easily would forgive, doesn't matter if the lawyers or judges are on payroll or not. Legally they are unable to ignore evidence based on employer."
I had been in the middle of several illegal activities, I doubt I would be getting the easiest sentence.
"I know that Logan, now I just accept what I've done because this is no one's fault besides mine which is also why it's mine to put an end to it," I sigh looking out the window as we got to the edge of the street and he looked around.
"A judge will see that you're young, and psychologically your reaction is often common, I don't believe that it will be bad, and if anything, they will grant you bail, and cooperation with the intent you had won't be ignored, even if it's not how we typically do things," Logan says glancing up into the rear-view mirror.
