Demon Hunter [COMPLETE]

Chapter 41 - Lovesick

*Raven's P.O.V*

Police were swarming all over Mr. Hyde's office.

One of the officers took out handcuffs and slapped them over Mr. Hyde's wrists.

"You're coming with us, you sick fuck," the policeman growled. "You no-good corrupted punk."

"What's going on?" I muttered, horrified at seeing the police trash up Mr. Hyde's room. One of the officers picked up a vase and flung it to the ground, as if it was worth nothing. It shattered into over a dozen pieces, alongside other broken valuables.

Mr. Hyde flinched at that, and then his scarlet face went a deeper shade of red.

"I demand you stop destroying my things, you thundering loonies!" Mr. Hyde screamed. "This is police brutality and I won't stand for it! I will sue off your asses in court."

The officer who placed him in handcuffs simply scoffed. "We had a warrant for your place. You really thought you could get away with it, huh?"

Get away with what?!

It was then that the policeman noticed me.

"Who is that?" The officer said, harshly gripping Mr. Hyde's arm. "Don't bother lying or we'll add obstruction of justice to the list of charges."

"That's my employee. She's new so I can't exactly remember her name," Mr. Hyde hurled out, his face all contorted from the police officer's grip.

"What's your name?" The officer shouted at me.

The other policemen stopped what they were doing to stare at me briefly, before going back to wrecking my ex-boss' office.

Hmm, with the way they're savagely destroying things, you'd think they were thugs disguised as policemen...

"It's Raven Rouge," I informed him. "And I'm twenty-five years old—"

At that moment, Darla walked in.

"What the hell is going on here? I heard commotion in the back so I just had to come and check it out—" her mouth dropped open upon seeing the police.

"Nothing to worry about, ma'am," the officer declared, grimly. "Your boss here is under arrest for murder."

"Murder?!"

"Yeah, he strangled a woman into the afterlife," the officer said, angrily, his grip on Mr. Hyde tightening.

"I called the police, didn't I?" Mr. Hyde yelped. "How many times do I have to say it was an accident?! She wanted me to strangle her during sex and it just spiraled out of control. Yeah, I wanted to take her breath away, but not literally. Mistakes happen. Oops. No big deal."

"No big deal?!" The officer yelled. "You fucking jackass! You took a life. A fucking life. The system will put you behind bars for the rest of your sad, pathetic existence. But if it was up to me, I'd shoot you right here and now, on the spot."

"Let's take him away," one of the officers said, eagerly.

"Darla! Honey, please tell them I didn't do it," Mr. Hyde pleaded as the officers began dragging him out the back door. "PLEAAAAAASE!"

Darla, instead, remained quiet.

"Guess you're the boss now," one of the officers joked. "'Cause he ain't getting out anytime soon."

All of the officers deserted the room, after thirty seconds of breaking more stuff.

I turned to face Darla, with disgust written all over my angelic face.
