The Chosen Son

Chapter 10

River

The pain that cut into my wrist from the handcuffs was mildly irritating, but what was more painful is the swelling and bruising on the left side of my face, where the bastard cope backhand me. His reason is getting lippy, back taking, and being a stupid kid that need to learn the lesson about authority. He had left when someone came over the intercom telling him to take a break. I sat alone in a small cubical room with one light a two-way mirror and a door.

The door finally opened after at least and hour of me being in solitude, and a new man I had never seen before entered the room. He sat down opposite me with placing two big files on the table and one that looked empty. He smiled as he took a drink of his coffee.

"hello River, I'm office Marin" he said as he opened the two big files and I could see a two mug shots, one of my father and the other of Dante. "It seems you are a good boy, you have no criminal record before today incident, unlike your father, and your girlfriend's father" I scoffed

"that little brat is not my girlfriend" he looked at me surprised

"my apologies for making assumptions about the situation, mind telling me what you were doing with the girl then?" he said in a polite voice, but what he didn't realize was I was trained in the school I was sent to all the tricks and games cop like to do to get information out of you, so I smiled and lend forward the best I could with my hand tied behind the chair

"Mind telling me what I'm being charged with because you can't hold me unless you charge me and if you're going to charge me, I would like my lawyer" I smiled sitting back as Officer Marin smile faded

"You're going to be charged with using excessive forces river, you will most likely be fined and serve some probation time, being it your first infraction, but we could make a deal and none of this would matter, I can make it all go away" I started laughing, classic line not even try to sweeten the deal

"no thanks, I would like to go now, or get me my lawyer" he closed the envelopes

"you're making a big mistake son, the people you're surrounding yourself with bad and dangerous and I'm only trying to save you from spending your life behind bars" I smiled at him not responding as he got visible red in the face and stormed out of the room.

I laughed as I tried to lean back in the metal chair as best I could, but didn't help. I guess I had been there for three or four hours, Dante must be aware of what had taken places at the mall and was probably pissed. My father was probably ferrous that I had screwed this up and didn't handle the situation better. I took a deep breath and closed my eye waiting for the next attempt in getting me to flip on my father or Dante. I must have drifted off to sleep somehow in this really uncomfortable position, but I had been in worse. I was waken when the door slammed open and a man in a classy suit walked in followed by two officers.

"unhand cuff him now" the man said in a forceful tone as the officers that looked younger than the earlier ones rushed around obeying the name "what happened to your face?" he said eyeing me as I brought my hand to feel my now swollen lip
