The Harper Family: Colliding Paths (Wattpad Version)

All hell breaks loose

Dyson

Shit. I wasn't expecting a brawl to break out in the bakery. Odin, Kyler, Brody, and I rushed from the kitchen to help Decker while Pax called the cops. Fists swung as Albert and Decker duked it out.

Odin and I grabbed Decker while Kyler and Brody subdued Albert.

"I want to press charges!" Albert screamed on the floor.

Brody leaned into Albert with his knee on his back and restrained Albert's hands behind his back. "I would rethink that since you started it."

"Get off me!"

"Not until the police get here, you schmuck," Kyler said.

"Don't touch me, you n*****!"

"Boy! You better watch your mouth! My dad is a psycho twin!"

"Odin, you better grab Kyler before he beats the hell out of this idiot," Decker said.

"You good?" Odin asked Decker.

Decker nodded. Odin patted Decker's chest, walked to Kyler, and dragged him into the kitchen before Kyler beat the shit out of Albert.

I turned to Decker. "You okay?"

"Yeah. But that piece of shit needs to get his ass kicked!" Decker yelled at Albert.

The police arrived with a guy walking toward us. Brody released Albert as two cops cuffed Albert, hauled him to his feet, and led him from the bakery.

The guy looked at us. "I'm Detective Frisco Jones. I need to take a statement."

We nodded and sat at a table. Dixon ended up joining Decker and me.

"What are your names?" Frisco asked us.

"Decker, Dixon, and Dyson Harper," Decker said.

"How do you know the assailant?"

"We dated," Dixon said.

Frisco looked at Dixon. "Dated? So, the perp is your ex?"

Dixon nodded.

"Why did you break up?"

Dixon shifted in his seat and rubbed his arm. "Albert hurt me. So, Dyson hurt him."

"So, it was an abusive relationship?"

Dixon nodded.

Frisco looked at Decker and me. "How do you know Albert?"

"I live with my girlfriend and her grandmother next door to Albert. I told Decker about Albert."

"Is there a reason Albert attacked you?" Frisco asked Decker.

"Yeah, he lunged at my girl. Albert confused me with my brother, Dyson, and thought I was cheating on Dyson's girl," Decker said.

Frisco glanced between us. "That's all I need. Thanks for your help." He stood up and left the bakery.

*******
Frisco

I left the bakery, put my notepad inside my pocket, and walked toward an officer. "I want you to take the suspect to the station and book him."

"Yes, Detective Jones," the officer said.

I walked away and texted Evan. Within a few minutes, my phone rang.

What's going on, Frisco?

"I need a search warrant for Albert Bates' residence."

Why?
