"Hollywood?" "Her number one dream was to go to Hollywood and touch the Hollywood sign." "See the movie stars, that's all she wanted to do." "Well now she's dead, get out of my car." He stopped the car. I picked up Angel putting her head on my shoulder. "Leave the child." "Why?" I sniffed. "I'm gonna get rid of the lil bitch." "B-" "I SAID LEAVE THE CHILD LUH, don't make me yell!" I put her on the seat. Kissing her four head. I take the blood stains rabbit and put it in my pocket. "Can I have my wife?" "No." One of his workers pushed me from the car. They sped off.
They dropped me out in front of the police station. I walked inside,"sir are you ok?" They saw the blood on my shirt. "Arrest me." "What did you do." "They killed my daughter, they have my wife." "Who, if someone else did the crime why are we arresting you?" "I've killed two people in the past two days." He sat back in his chair. "Arrest me before I kill more, I need to be protected." "There's no proof,we have no reason to arrest you." I tightened my grip on the rabbit. I lifted my shirt pulling the gun from my waist band. I aim at the cops head. I pull the trigger, I slightly miss shooting the wall behind him. "Arrest me mother fucker." He gets up from behind the desk. I drop the gun holding up my hands. He comes over hand cuffing me. He tries to take the rabbit. I tighten my grip. "NOOOO!, I can scream like a bitch, and if you don't leave the rabbit in my hands I will scream and fight back!" He leaves it taking my hat, and taking the laces from my shoes.
He walks me to the cell. He closes the bars. I drop the rabbit. "Turn." This isn't my first time being here. I stick my wrist out of the small slot. He unlocks the cuffs. I drop to the floor. I've cried more today than I have all year. I clutch the small. Rabbit in my hands. I here her small voice. Her first word. "Dada." The only word she could. Say for a month. Her last words. "I love you daddy."
