Hurt

Chapter 14

Casandra P.O.V

I rushed over to Soraya's house. I didn't know what to expect. The only reason I was even going  is because the authorities contacted me. Which I guess means they had no one else to call and I was Sorayas last option. I'm apparently everyone's last option.

I pulled up to her house and immediately seen flashing lights and the ambulance. I got out of the car and started walking towards the house noticing the perimeter was covered in crime scene tape. I turned to my right and seen Soraya sitting with her face in her hands resting on her elbows. I'm assuming she was crying. I turned around looking for someone to speak to considering I was confused. As I was doing so an officer walked toward me.

"Ms. Riley?"

" Yes?"

"We contacted you because your mom o-"

"That's not my mom" I snapped back bluntly

"My apologies ma'am, your sisters mother has overdosed on Methamphetamine, w-"

"Meth ?"  I asked some what worried

"Yes ma'am. We found her with the needle still
in her arm. There was no pulse when we arrived. We tried using a defibrillator to send an electric current to the heart but she still wouldn't wake up."

I looked at him in confusion, not because I didn't understand what he was saying but because I was surprised about this. How could my sis- Soraya, live with her mom like this.

"How, I mean who called, like how did you find her ?"

"Well Ms. Soraya called us, when she walked into the house she seen her mom on the couch with the needle in her arm. She said she assumes it's from a Meth overdose."

"Oh my, thank you guys. But may I ask why I was called ? I mean with all so respect she isn't my mom although I do feel bad for her, I know how it feels to lose your mom. "

He cleared his throat

"Well your sister is 16, she isn't legally old enough to live on her own and we couldn't get a hold to any family members. She said she only knew of her grandma but there was no way to get in contact with her. The only other parent is her dad and she couldn't tell us much about where he lives and didn't know his phone number. She says that you live with him so we contacted you to take her home with you guys before she gets put in the system. "

I was hesitant, I didn't live with our dad. I hated that man. I thought about telling the officers where he lived but then again I wouldn't wanna put her in the same situation I was in with him. He was horrible. But I couldn't let her stay with me. I took in one person already and I'm not a shelter. I can't take care of everyone when I'm focusing on taking care of myself at the age of 17 almost 18.

"Yes sir " I replied without even thinking

With that he walked away and came back with a puffy eye runny nose Soraya. I told her to get in the passenger seat and buckle up. I walked back up to the man who must've been in charge because he was the one doing all the communicating.

"Sir, can I go in and, and get some of her items?"

"That's not really allowed ma'am, people aren't supposed to really step foot on the scene especially during the investigation"

I grew kind of irritated, I just needed some of her things.

"And exactly what are you investigating if I may ask officer ? There's no hidden picture, it was obviously a drug overdose because she went overboard "

"Well, that may or may not be true. That's just the obvious solution. We're trying to find one of the  top drug dealers and this can be connected. "

"How so ?"

"Well she had to get the drugs from somewhere. And according to Soraya this was a daily activity for over 11 years, her mother knew how much to take to get the perfect high. She was obviously a pro. This time it was laced with something at least that's what we believe. We sent it over to the laboratory to check it out and I guess Sorayas mother recently switched to a new dealer. He works for a man that goes by the name king. We still can't get our hands on him yet but we're trying. No ones really ever seen the guy. So we have nothing. Not sure what they wanted with your sisters mother but that's what we're investigating. "

"I-"

I was lost in words. I didn't know what to say

"Also ma'am, there was bleeding from the back of her head and bruises around her neck. The needle was also placed in her arm in a weird position as if she didn't know what she was doing. Which makes no sense considering she's been shooting for 11 years. We believe this may be more than an overdose.  It may have been laced with something to finish the job but This could be a murder and your sister is very lucky she wasn't here at the time.

King. Of course, he's the drug lord of Miami. He's connected to all the crimes that happen here. I just don't know who would even do something like this.
