Heartless

Chapter 5

It was 5 a.m and James had just woken up. He felt refreshed after he had finally gotten some rest. He knew he still needed to find his parents killers. But what he needed to do first was go back to the police station so he could see if Sgt.Parker was still alive. He was James' only chance at finding out who the killer was. Sgt.parker was a good friend of the Scott family and he was just as conected to this as James is.

James got all of his things and checked out. Once he left the motel James headed over to the Denny's down the street so he could get some breakfast and have an actual meal. He thought maybe he would think better on a full stomach (his mom had always made sure he had a big breakfast before his finals). Once he had finished and paid for his breakfast he called the police station on his phone, he wanted to make sure Sgt.Parker was still around. James sat there in the car for five minutes waiting for somebody to pick up the phone, to his relief it was Sgt.Parker. The only down side was that Sgt.Parker was pissed, no, more than pissed he was enraged. James was fucked, he had pissed of the Sergeant and that's the last thing he needed right now. Sgt.Parker gave James a chance to explain and he had calmed down a little after he had hear the story and he gave James cudos for thinking on his feet like he did, but Sgt. Parker wanted his car back and still needed to know about the story James had begun telling him before the gunman had come in. So James began his journey back to Lincoln so he could talk with Sgt. Parker. James still had no idea who the gunman was but he decided to start referring to him as "that asshole" it made James feel a little better. For a 17 year old kid this was a lot to process. He lost his parents and he was now the next target for the motherfucker who killed them. It was a 3 hour drive back to the police station where David was wating for him (James and the Sgt. were on a first name basis now according to the Sgt.) So he could hear all that James knows.

James finally got back to the station and it was about midday so to try and kiss David's ass James invited him out for lunch and said they could talk there. David (surprisingly) agreed and they went to the subshop down the street, it was were James and his dad used to go every Wednesday for lunch, it's how James and his dad got their father-son time together and every once in awhile David would pop in and join them. They all ordered the same thing every time, a footlong ham, provolone, and turkey breast toasted with Chipotle sauce. It was always their favorite.

David and James got to the shop and ordered their usual. Once they got their food they went and had a seat. David started out by asking James the same thing he had before "so James, can you tell me everything you know about your parents private life?" James hesitated for a moment, he wasn't sure if he should bring up the conversation he had heard his dad having on the phone with who he had discovered to be Mr.Nygun. David knew something was up so he told James if he didn't feel comfortable sharing this stuff in public they could go back to his office and talk. James agreed, he figured it'd be safer to talk there. They grabbed their subs and their drinks and went back to the station to talk about the only reason James could think of for his parents deathes.
