Realizing Each Other's Love

Chapter 12

Dustin's P.O.V

       Yesterday was crazy. I never thought that a shooter would come into a buffet restaurant and shoot innocent people. Before Marie and I went under the table, I saw the shooters face and I know him. His name is John and he is my brother. I knew he was after me. He knows all of my whereabouts, so I'm not surprised, that he came after me. He has always hated me, but the reason why he wants me dead is because I took his long-time girlfriend from him and he was planning on marrying him too. He was beyond pissed and all he wanted for me was to be dead. I told my parents and they told the police. He had to go to jail for two months and then rehab since then. It has been about one year since the incident and he has not stopped looking for me. 

      I'm really scared that he found me. I know that the police took him away, but he can get out of jail easily and come and find me. I didn't tell the police that he was my brother because I don't want to freak out Marie and let her know about how much of a prick I am, but today since it's Sunday, I'm going to go to police. I told my parents at dinner last night and they said that they are both going to take the day off today and come with me. After we talk to the police, we are going over to Marie's house and tell her.

       Right now, my parents and I are going to drive over to our grandparents house and ask them to watch my sisters, since we don't want them to come to the police station with us. When we dropped them off, my dad went to the door with them and told my grandparents what is happening. They were happy to take my sisters and told us to be careful. After that, we drove down to the station.

       I got extremely nervous when we stepped into the station. There were officers going in all different direction; into room, to the main desk, outside to their cars. We walked up to the front desk and my dad started talking to the main clerk. 

        "Hello, I am Mr. Locks and I came here with my son because he was involved with a shooting that was yesterday at the buffet restaurant a few blocks from here. We have some things that we need to talk about with the police about." my dad told the clerk.

        "Oh okay, I will send Officer Smith down and you guys can talk to him." the clerk said and the picked up her radio to call him down. A few minutes later, an officer cam over to us.

        "Hello I am Officer Smith. Oh I remember talking to you and your girlfriend yesterday. What news do you have." Officer Smith said.

        "Well the shooter that was at the scene is my brother. He was trying to kill me because of an inciendent that happened about a year ago." I told Officer Smith.

        "If you don't mind me taking you into a room and you can tell me the whole story?" he asked. I nodded and then followed him into a room.

        I have been in one of these rooms once before for the same situation. Officer Smith told me to sit and then asked me to explain everything.

        "Okay, it started about a year ago. I was at home one afternoon and the doorball rang. I went to get it and it was my brother's girlfriend. She was coming over to hang out with him, but he wasn't home yet. So she stayed and we sort of...." I trailed off and looked at Officer Smith. He knew what I was talking about and then told me to go on, "And at theat moment in the universe, my brother decides to come walking in the front door and catch us. He started yelling at me that he was going to kill me and I will never see the light of day ever again. Then he was yelling at his girlfriend saying he was going to propose to her, but she was just some sort of slut and whore. Well she left and my brother left shortly after her. He didn't come back for a while. That night at dinner, I told my parents and the next morning we came here and told them. He was in jail for two months and rehab since. I guess he got out and he wasn't any better becauseof what happened yesterday." I finished and saw Officer Smith writing things.

        "Okay, well he is in custody and now from what you told me, he is going to be in jail for life now. He will be held in a maximum prison that he can not escape from and we will make sure you and your family is safe. Thank you for coming in and talking to us. If you or your parents have any other questions, please if you need anything, call me. I am willing to help you." Officer Smith stood and shook his hand and he showed me out. 

       My parents and I left to go tell Marie about what had happened. On the way there, I told my parents about what I told the officer and what the officer told me. They are very glad about where John is going to be.

       We got to Marie's house and that's when I realized her and I most likely won't be together after this. It would be because I never told her and lied. This is the most nervous I have ever been in my entire life.
