My family Code

Chapter 4| DNA

Lilith's Pov:

We moved to a more private room in the station I'm guessing this might be his office. Do they even have offices in a police station? Dante is sitting on the opposite side of a desk from from me. Pressing a button on the recording device he set up he looks up at me.

"Ready Lilith?"

"Sure." My fingers drum on my legs restless right now it feels like I can't sit still with everything going on.

"alright so I'm going to ask you some basic questions, first just say your name, if you can include your middle name to that would be great."

"Lilith Lluvia Smith." I talk as clearly as possible hopping that he can't hear the numbness in my voice.

"Okay and how old are you? And have you lived here your whole life?"

"I just turned 16, and I've never left town."

"Great now let's go into more detail of your past healthcare and schooling."

Great, we had to go here did we not...

"My healthcare ended when I was four that's the last time I saw any type of doctor, and I went to a public school and was tutored by a librarian after hours named Mrs Richardson."

"Alright pretty short for healthcare information, earlier you stated you don't know why your medical treatment stopped?"

"Correct."

I hope I'm doing this right maybe, one of my parents have a cousin or a sibling anyone that I can live with? If I answer all these right maybe I won't go bouncing through orphanages but I never met the person I'd live with. Is that better or worse?

"Okay just a couple more questions, Lilith your doing great I'm just going to rapid fire them on you okay?"

"Go ahead." I make a small motion with my hand trying not to get my hopes up.

"Alright so your file was vague and short like your answers but everything seems to match that's almost all we got on you, now these questions I would like you to go in more depth, What was your relationship with your parents like?"

"I'd prefer not to answer that you can go off your own inferences and guesses though I'm sure you already made some." I shrug while speaking I really don't like this topic.

"Did that relationship change when your brother died?"

"Yes."

"In what way?"

"Many."

That's all I really want to say.

"Care to elaborate?"

"Nope but thanks for asking!" I feel the sarcasm rolling off my tongue and want to slap myself, what is it with him and not being able to have a normal conversation? Why am I fighting with this guy anyway? How old is this dude he looks a little young but not young either honestly fighting with him is stupid.

"I have a question for you before you finish your rapid fire." He raises his eyebrows. I take that as a yes.

"How old are you?"

"23."

I'm fighting with a 23 year old man.. Really this is stupid..

"I feel like your an inexperienced policeman but go on." Sighing he rubs his temples, before speaking again.

"I'm good at what I do, don't go around questioning my employment status. But that's all the questions I have. Can we run a DNA test to check for relatives you don't have any on your record of any blood testing?"

"Be my guest."

Nodding he presses a button a the recording device shuts off.

"And for your information, I get paid quite well. BeCaUsE i KnOw HoW tO dO mY jOb." He draws out the words in a childish voice the pitch in his voice changing with each letter like a child mocking me.

"Quite mature." I retort rolling, my eyes at him. Before I follow him out of the room.

We sent off a piece of my hair and a skin cell as well as drawing a little blood, for DNA testing things like this take a bit of time, but the department is for childcare, so we should get it back in the next couple hours.

Sitting on the chair I watch the clock tick away each minute.

one minutes turns into two as two turns into four soon four is twelve and twelve is forty then I watch as it turns into an hour then two then three. It's one am by now and still no results. Not sure when they moved me but they couldn't find anywhere I could sleep for the night so I was thrown back into Dante's office and given his reclining chair. I don't think I can fall asleep but around 1:30 I feel my eyelids sag.

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

I wake up in the same office I feel asleep in surrounded by beige walls. Rubbing my eyes to adjust to the bright light I get out from the chair stretching. That was not a comfortable place to sleep. Not sure what to do I take a step out of the office.

No one it's empty.

Walking towards the front of the station I push open the door, leading towards the front office and desk. The woman behind the counter nods her head in recognition. Hanging up the phone, she looks up at me.

"Morning honey, how'd you sleep? If your looking for Dante he made a coffee run why don't you wait a couple minutes in his office and ill send him back when he gets here okay honey?"

Her voice is filled with that motherly compassion I've heard other children get. Her smile is soft and seems genuine. I can't help but wonder if she could have been my mother in a different life and if she has kids they must have won the lottery.

I nod my head once thanking her before retreating into the back making a beeline for Dante's office.

A couple minutes later he walks in. A coffee in one hand and a bunch of papers and a giant envelope in the other. He looks at me in a pointed way. Oh I'm in his chair. I'm not sure what it is but if it annoys him I'm staying. We stare at each other for a couple seconds.

Grumbling, he sits down in the other chair. Looking me right in the eye he says.

"we got your results back."
