As the officers walked me down the hall to the interrogation room where Frank was being held. I could see him through the one way glass window with his hands cuffed in front of him on a big wide metal table and a cup of coffee sitting beside him looking hungover as usual. I had to fight everything in my power to remain quiet cause my self conscious was telling me to barge into that room and slam his face against that metal table without even hearing his side cause I knew it was going to be another sorry pitty excuse. When the officer finally caught my attention making me snap out of my daydream. "Well here he is"" The officer said with his hand on the door knob which only opened from the outside. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" He asked me before opening the door. I sighed for a moment and shook my head "yeah.... I just need answers" I said.  I had to find out what possessed him to be so stupid what made him mess up more than he ever had before and why after finally gaining not even an ounce of my trust back he had to ruin it in an instant. With that being said, the officer opened the door and let me in. As he shut the door quietly behind him, my heart weighed heavy as i thought about Clarissa who was still at the hospital with Brayden cause she couldn't bare to leave him and I felt better her not being here cause honestly I'm not sure what is going to happen after I confront the man who has claimed to be my father all these years but would a true father allow this much pain apon his own children or better yet his grandchildren.
I walked into the room Frank hung his head low until he realized someone else was in the room with him. He turned his head around just enough to see who it was when he looked at me I felt sick, there was something in the pit of my stomach that made me feel queasy not sure why but I had a pretty good guess it was a mixture of anger, pain and guilt I couldn't help but feel a little guilty okay a lot guilty for what happened to Brayden. If I hadn't of let my guard down with Frank then none of this would have happened, I should have known better.
I took a deep beathe and moved forward to the chair that sat across the room from Frank. He wouldn't look at me, the more I sat there being ignored the more angry I became. So I started to yell his name "Frank!" I screamed while waving my arms in a criss cross motion to get his attention. Not being able to keep my silence about what had happened to Brayden, or waiting until he spoke up I uncontrollably let loose on him. Once I did I couldn't stop myself "what the F**k Frank!!" I yelled as he blankley stared at me. "What did you do?!" "Why did you do it?!" I shouted repeatedly when an overwhelming hot sensation filled my face and body. I was hot with anger and hatred towards this man that I unfortunately share DNA with. "How could you!" I said my body trembling From being so steamed I was raising my voice so much I had to wipe the spit away from my own mouth to continue to speak. He just looked at me like a lost puppy in the middle of a rain storm mumbeling and trying to find words to save his own ass as always. The more he kept trying to save his self the more I had to watch my actions as I could see the police officers standing outside the window watching me so I did not do anything stupid. Which at this point I could care less if he walked out of this police station conscious or not. "I....I...I'm sorry" Frank muttered I don't know what happened I can't remember he said stressing himself out but not once has he even brothered to ask me if his grandson who he left for dead in a truck flipped upside down was okay or not. Before I could control myself I had made myself black out cause I couldn't remember anything that had let me to this moment when the police officers were pulling me off Frank who I had almost choked to death. Moments later I woke up in the main lobby cuffed to the chair I was asleep in. Ratteling the cuffs as I tried to move it freaked me out so I began to shout but before I had the second chance to raise my voice an officer came running to me. "What the f**k is this shit!" I asked him "what happened?" I repeated. As the officer un cuffed my arm rubbing my hand around my wrist where the cuffs had been I thanked the police officer for letting me loose as he shook his head. "You're lucky Frank is one of the most wanted sorry ass people on our hunt list at the moment or you could've gotten yourself into some serious trouble back there" he said to me with a stern look on his face. I must have blacked out cause I couldn't remember what I had done but I didn't want to feel stupid for asking what my own actions had been so I dropped the subject when I seen them walk frank out of the police station with a bloody face and cuffs in front of him. I must have kicked his ass good I just wish I knew what I had done or said. As I walked out of the backdoor so I would not waste my time with Frank any longer I lit a cigarette and started to walk around the block so I could find a ride back to the hospital when my phone began to blare a heavy metal ringtone out out of the side of my pocket. The screen lit up with Clarissa and Braydens photo on the front of my home screen which made me smile. As I swiped the phone over to the green side to answer I heard tears but this time her spirits were up way more than they had been since this had all happened I couldnt make out what she was trying to say "babe?" I said to her trying to get her to breathe and slow down so I could understand. "What are you trying to say?" I asked her when she blurted out the best thing I could ever hear after what all I had dealt with today. "He's awake!" She said repeatedly crying tears of joy! I paused for a moment and kneeled to my knees almost dropping my phone but dropped my cigarette instead. "Lip? Lip?"she said in the background. " I'm here!" I replied wiping the tears from my eyes as a smiled stretched from one ear to the other. "I'll be there soon baby!" I said as she hung up with joy in her voice as I ran to the roads to catch a ride to my son and wife as fast as I could! Lord be with me I whispered to myself as I entered the entrance of the hospital and caught an elevator upstairs.
