Prologue
"All you have to do is say his name Zane, and we'll finish the rest. He'll never have to know that you told, just admit and we'll be done here. You'll never have to see our faces again." the detective spoke in a low menacing and interrogative tone to me
Keeping my eyes locked on him, I remained in the same slump position I'd switch to throughout the 2 1/2 hours I'd been here, with the same bored expression written on my face as he tried to get me to confess to things I was never going to tell him or any other cop for that matter.
"Detective, I've told you a billion times already I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know about any drugs, any shootings, murders or anything, you're speaking about and even if I did I still wouldn't admit to anything. That's betrayal and I'm a loyal person. But I know who you're talking about, I mean who doesn't ?,"I reply letting out a low laugh "but I know not of the things you've said he's done. If you have proof of it you can arrest me but if it's just theory, if like you to undo these handcuffs so I can get home to the person you're trying to get me to confess things about that I don't know, because I'm pretty sure he's waiting on me outside right now. I have dinner to prepare, I haven't ran our bath water, I haven't massaged his sore body." I state "Oh, and we haven't cleaned our guns which we have registration to." I smile sarcastically finish speech
He slammed his hands on the table causing me to burst into a fit of laughter. His once yellow face now completely red, I laugh harder sensing his tension and immediately his chief opened the door signaling for him to exit the room, walking towards me he pulls out the key.
"You know his temper, why do you always seem to make him distraught Zane ?" He asked as he I cuffed me
"Because, I'm not about to let him think he runs me. I chose this life and I'll live it the way I want to, I love this man and I'll protect him no matter what the cost and until you yourself sees him doing anything you're trying to convict him of I'd like for my family to be left alone. If you cared about me at all, you wouldn't have done what you did and forced me to grow up and never have a childhood.. Dad." I snarled as I pushed myself up from the table
"We've spoken about this already Sanai-"
"NO, YOU MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT IT BUT I DONT BELIEVE SHIT YOU HAVE TO STAY." I yell aggressively
By now, I'm sure my light brown complexion was most likely red as it always got when I was angry.
"And my name is Zane, not fucking Sanai." I grit my teeth as I speak the name I was once known by
His face was a mixture between shock and pity, none of which I wanted. I didn't want him to be shocked because he should already know the way I feel- scratch that, he DOES already know how I feel. I sure as hell didn't want his fucking pity.
"I'm done, goodbye Richard. I've asked you one thing which is to leave my family and myself alone, I hope that you at least take my request in consideration and respect when you do."
I left the room before I could hear if he had anything to say, not that I really cared to hear his useless and irrelevant words. He lost meaning to me when he up and left and did the things he did. For me, once you walk out that door, that's it for you. Don't look back, don't come crying to me about anything because I'm not letting you back in. That day.. Was the end of any and everything we ever had.
