#1 All We Never Said (A Burzek Fanfiction)

Chapter 52

The chase went into the street and down the road perpendicular to the campground. Adam had to stop for a minute to catch his breath. As he stood up again, he could hear a loud thud. It sounded like the man had fallen or been pushed. When he found him, Kim was standing there, one foot on his back and the other on the ground. She seemed satisfied with her catch.

"How on earth did you get this far out?"

"I heard him running. Do you think I was gonna let him get away? After the condition I saw Nadia in?"

"Get your foot off me!" He screamed.

"What was that? I didn't hear you. Say it louder." She kicked him and he rolled over onto his side.

He wasn't pleased with her reaction. "Maybe she shouldn't have been wearing short shorts and a tank top."

"That doesn't mean she was asking to be raped."

"She was asking for it."

"Yeah, she totally was." Kim said sarcastically. "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Isn't she a call girl? I remember her pretty little face."

"She realized that wasn't the life she wanted. She went to college to be an officer and graduated from the academy."

"Cool story. Tell someone who cares. I'm not saying a word."

"Say cheese." Kim pulled out her phone and took a picture of him.

"Did I say you could take a picture of me?!"

"I don't have to ask."

He looked over at Adam. "Could you tell her to cut the attitude?"

"Nah, I'm good."

They walked him to the town police station, having to drag him inside. He tried resisting, but they were too strong for him. The officer at the desk looked over his glasses at them when they walked in.

"May I help you?"

"We're from down in Chicago." She said.

"What are you doing all the way up here in Minnesota?"

"Family vacation. Anyway, we have reason to believe this man committed a rape."

"On what grounds?"

"Minnesota cops are idiots." She said under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. We have clear evidence."

"Show me."

She lifted the guy's hands up, showing the bloody and bruised knuckles.

"Bloody knuckles doesn't mean he raped anyone. It means he got roughed up."

"He matched the description the victim gave us! Her face is bruised and bloodied. See? There's the tattoo she said he had. Brown hair, blue eyes, same height and weight as she told us. What more could you need?!"

"How about a victim to give a statement?"

Kim leaned on the counter. "Look, today has already gone from great to awful. How about you do your job before I turn you in for obstructing justice?"

"Making threats isn't going to get you anywhere."

"Do you know who I work for?"

"I'm not sure I want to know."

The man rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap."

"Adam, was he part of the conversation?"
