"Man, let me out of here!"
"Now you know we can't do that." The detectives sat across from the man.
"Listen, I ain't do nothing, man."
"You sure about that?"
"Oh, why because I'm a black man I had to do something? All yall white dudes are the same."
"It has nothing to do with you being black. It has to with with this." They sat some surveillance camera photos in front of him.
"What that go to do with me?"
"The guy in the photo...you see that hoodie he's wearing? That's your hoodie."
"No it ain't."
"Then why did we find it in the dumpster behind your apartment building along with the boots worn here as well, with the exact same cuts and markings on both?"
"Man, that can be anyone's in that apartment."
"We know, but everyone has an alibi for the time and place."
"Except you." The guy swallowed.
"We can also ping your cell phone at this location during the time of the car accident and kidnapping." He rubbed his face.
"Why were you there, Daniel? Why'd you take the baby?" He kept his mouth closed.
"Come on, man. You're going down for some serious time if you don't talk."
"What reason would you have to kidnap Bishop Jackson's granddaughter?" The guy immediately looked at the detectives.
"Bishop Jackson's granddaughter? What are you talking about?"
"The baby that was kidnapped from this car belongs to the daughters of Bishop Jackson and Michael Braxton. Now you went to school with Jackson's daughter and we know you guys had a issue with you not being able to keep your hands to yourself."
"Wait. Wait." Daniel waved his hands. "Janet. That's her baby?"
"Yes." Daniel immediately got scared.
"Oh shit."
"You didn't know who's baby that was?"
"No. I was just told that this baby was important and needed to be taken. I was under the impression that I was helping her get her baby back."
"So you asked no questions?"
"Listen, someone hands you a stack of cash and tells you to do something, you don't ask questions.
Especially when you don't have any other options. Yall should know, yall looked at my file."
"We did, which is why you're getting a chance here to do the right thing. We know there's someone else behind this. If you could help us, you could be helping to bring down a huge operation." Daniel sighed.
"What I get if I do?"
"No jail time, and a clean record. The sexual assault charge stays a misdemeanor." Daniel sat up.
