Chapter 23: His Faith

Andre couldn't seem to rap the idea that the woman who he wanted to marry was in fact a Police Officer he was dead inside; motionless; he rarely visited his trap houses. He spends his time drinking, visiting strip clubs. It was three o' clock in the morning when he stumbles out the bar after the owner kicked him out. He getting in his car, he was driving way passed the speed limit; he glances through his rearview mirror he notices a police car behind him. Muttering a ton of colorful words Dre pulls over.

He watches as a white male about6'4 approaches his car, he waited patiently for the officer to speak.

"Going over the speed limit their buddy" the officer told him. "Your licenses please?"

Dre search his glove compartment but finds nothing, he glances at the officer who was now engrossed by a phone call. After ending his call the officer returns to the car and asked Dre to step out.

"What?"

"I said step out the car"

"I heard what you said just wondering why?" he questions.

The officer leans closer to the young man who has been identified as Andre Adams. Few weeks ago his partner Angela Basset went missing and two days later the apartment complex which she stayed in engulfs in flames. In the rumble they found pieces of files and burnt papers and pictures there wasn't much to salvage but the name Andre Adams was written on a piece of paper. The security camera opposite the apartment shows Dre car leaving the scene half an hour before it was burnt.

Andre got out and officer then approach him with handcuffs in his hand. "Yo, what's this about?" he asks bewildered.

"Mr. Adams you're under the arrest for arson"

"What, man you tripping".

"You was last seen leaving officer Basset apartment"

"That makes me a suspect"

"Yes it does" the officer said placing the handcuffs on and escorting him to his car.

Queenie was enjoying a wonderful meal that Adrian had cooked for her, she was enjoying the little moments they shared together. She never thought she would enjoy a person's company as much as she were liking Adrian's. Her phone rang breaking her out of whatever spell she was under. It was her mom; she sounded like she was crying Queenie tries to calm her down in order to hear what she was saying. When she had finally calmed down Queenie finds out her brother has been arrested. The phone fell to the floor.

"What is it?" Adrian asked

"My brother..........Andre has been arrested."

Mrs. Eve and her two daughters walked in the police station the next morning looking for answers as to why Andre was arrested. He was in a holding cell for four hours straight and when he had received his phone call he called his mom who would later call his lawyer. He was then escorted to the interrogation room which was a fourteen by fourteen room with no windows not even a ceiling fan. A table and three chairs were in the middle and a light bulb hanging from the ceiling was the only light in the dimly lit room.

The room smelt of mold and was musky he could barely breathe; his hand was cuffed to the table. The door opens and two officers dressed in casual clothes sat opposite him.

One of them asked him his name. "Why am I here?" he asks

"As the officer who arrested you, you are a person of interest in the Angela Basset arson case".

"I told the officer who brought me to this dump I didn't do it" he yells slamming his hands on the table.

The officer shows him pictures of a car that looks like his car. "This your car leaving the scene before the building burns'.

A short bald man storms into the room interrupting Andre from even answering the question.

"My client would not be answering anymore questions without solid evidence to hold him here" with that being said Andre was free to go.

Short but until next time
