Life After Death

Chapter 2

After about 25 minutes we pulled into the Police Department's parking lot. When the car stopped I looked in the mirror on the dash. I saw Sheriff Kahert looking back at me. His eyes were filled with hurt, sadness, and anger.....

I try to grasp Danny's hand but all I grabbed was his sleeve. He then realized I was trying to grab his hand, so he clasped mine. Mr. Kahert slowly opened his door and got out. Danny went to open his door but it was locked.

"Of course it's locked." Danny said with a slight smile.

"Well I mean it's a cop car."

He laughed and kissed me. After about a minute Mr. Kahert opened our door. Danny climbed out with me following behind.

"Have a seat right here and wait to be called back individually." Mr. Kahert glared at us.

"Wait, we aren't gonna be questioned together?" Danny replied.

"No, so you better sort out yawls story now."

"That ain't happening, she has anxiety and I'm the only one who can keep her calm." I herd him stand.

"Well I apologize for the rude awakening." Mr. Kahert said with a smirk.

"Fine then we want a lawyer."

"Did you just say a lawyer?" Mr. Kahert repeated in shock.

"Babe, I'll be fine, I promise." I jumped in before it got any worse.

"Are you sure?" Danny sat down and looked me dead in my eyes.

"I'm positive." I said with a smile.

The questioning room is dark, small, and it smells like mildew. I've been sitting here wondering if Dannys okay. Also I'm wondering if we are gonna get sent to prison; even thought it wasn't murder. All of a sudden Mr. Kahert and an older officer walked in.

"Ms. Lemente, how old are you?" The older man asked.

"16" I replied trying not to lose it.

"Do you know why you're here?"

"Yes, no, i don't know." I'm about to lose it.

"Stop playing shit." Mr. Kahert got in my face. I suddenly feel tears brimming my eye lids.

"Kahert, keep it calm." The other officer grabbed him by his broad shoulders.

"Sweety, please tell us everything you know." The officer said while sitting across from me.

"First tell me where Danny is." I directly said to Mr. Kahert.

"He's in a cell waiting for you to join." He smiled

"How 'bout you wait for me to join you in my office?" Said the other police officer.

"Sir I-"

"NOW!" he screamed.

As he open the door Danny had him pinned on the wall across the room. The cop sitting across from me was pulling Danny off of if Mr. Kahert. It was so loud. I heard yelling, all I could hear of it was, 'Don't you ever get in her face and yell at her again.' and ' She has already been through a lot.' and ' She watched your son killed himself.' After that Mr. Kahert punched him in his lower jaw.

I jumped out of the chair and curled up in the corner crying. My knees were in my chest, my arms around my knees, and my head was in my knees. After I felt someone pull me in their lap and cradle me, I opened my eyes and looked in my head. I saw Danny. His lip was bleeding and is jaw bruised.

"I'm so sorry you had to see that." He kissed me and kicked me up.

We walked past Mr. Kahert getting yelled at by the chief. Everybody was staring at us. We left the department and headed home. When we got home we walk in on his parents. Or that's what we thought...
