"What are you doing here?" I asked. I immediately recognized the man as a police officer. Wait, the police officer!
"Raymond?" Esther gripped my hand tightly. I looked at her face for a half second, and it was whiter than the hospital sheets.
"It ain't none of your business, boy. Just let me face the girl, and you'll not get hurt." The man stepped towards the bed. I shook my head.

"Why do you want her?" I started stalling.
"'Cause her brother-"
Esther broke in then. "Don't you dare mention him!"
