Clay's P.O.V
"Let me get this straight. Mr Kain Miles tried to shoot Miss Nyla Camron and you shot him in the chest and head with his own gun, the one you took from his own hand?"
The investigating officer ask for the 10th time.
"Yes! We already been through dis!" I semi yell in frustration.
Nyla and I had been held and grilled for the pass 9 hours and I'm tired and hungry
enough to rip this aggravating asshole apart! The last thing I want to do right
now is answer another fucking question.
ok..
wait...
Breath....
That's just my belly talking. I can get very cranky when I am hungry and right now I am starving.
I know the man is only doing his job. Alright fine but damn, how much longer!??
"Miss Jenner, that just seem a little far fetch to-" The officer was cut off by
the slamming of my fist on the table. My body jolts up with a force that pushes the chair
from beneath me."Do I need a lawyer!?"
The Officer jerk his head back knitting his eye brows together obviously surprise by my out burst but
before he can say any thing, someone knocks on the door. Both our heads snap into that direction.
The door open just a crack enough for a female officers head can poke through.
"May I have a word with you please." The lady Officer address the investigating officer. He looks over at me as I take my seat scowling at him.
The Investigator then nods his head to the lady office, stands up from behind
the table and fellow behind her being sure to close the door as he leaves.
Seizing the chance to close my eyes I lay my head on the table but all I can see is Nyla's face.
God, she must be scared right now.
I trust her to stick to our story but I also know how hard that is because these officers
are good. I have faith in Nyla though. She is much stranger than she th-
The door swing open braking my train of thought. My head snaps up almost immediately.
My heart did a back flip into my chest as my eyes fall on a familiar face. My husband older partner, officer Myars.
Why is he here? did they find Isabel's body? Did he come to take me back home for trial? Why are u here man!
Shit!
"Hello Claydel." Officer Myars gives me a sympathetic look " Am so sorry."
Confusion flash across my face. Sorry? Come again.
"What do you mean?" Urging Officer Myars to explain.
"I am sorry dat it took us so long to find Kain."He explain " We have been tracking him for some time now. Evidence was found connecting Kain to de accident dat killed Xavier and de kids. Officer Kain miles and Isabel Carson sabotaged de vehicle by cutting de brake lines which resulted in de horrific accident dat night."
Officer Myars shifts his gaze a bit as if preparing his self before speaking again." Claydel, We also found dat Xavier and Miss Carson had an affair leading up to his death."
"I knew about his affair." Officer Myars sigh shaking his head in disappointment.
"Hmmm well, she was murdered." Officer Myars stares at me suspiciously." Her remains were found in a pig pen in Buckley's Estate."
Like rat in a trap I squirm under his gaze. It's like he is staring into my soul, peeling away layers to reveal my darkest secrets.
"she was...I-" Officer Myars cuts me off saying "Kain killed her and dumped her body into the pen. he was a sick man and they, umm he deserved what he got."
Officer Myars nods his head slowly in away that was almost impossible to notice, as if to beg an understanding.
My brow furrows as I try to be sure it is a mutual understanding I then nod my head in like manner to show acceptance.
Being satisfied with our mutual understanding,Officer Myars stands up and walk towards the door then stop.
He then turn his head to face me while holding a firm grip on the door knob "Not every one believed dat you were lying about what Kaindid to you claydel. I am just truly sorry that we all failed you." with that he walks out the door leaving it ajar.
5 minutes later the lady officer from before walks in holding a few sheets of paper. She stands in the door way sifting through the papers. "Well it seem like Mr Kain Miles has just been identified as the person that killed Miss Lara Mason."
The Lady Officer sigh looking down at me shaking her head. "This man is some piece of work. Miss Jenner, your free to go."
The Lady Officer escorts me to the front entrance of the police station. Nyla seems to have been waiting for me for a while in the parking lot. God she looks exhausted. By her tear stain cheeks I can tell she had a rough time with her investigator.
Wrapping my arms around her waist I pull her gently into me allowing her to sob silently into the crook of my neck.
I just knew she need it. Nyla had a traumatic night and having to sit with those shark of an investigators did not make it any easier, I will not dear utter a word to her or ask another question tonight.
This is a time when silence becomes the comforter.
Seems like Clay was going to spend the night in jail if that lady officer did not show up. Lol my girl need to calm down lol.😂
And what's up with officer Myar?😕
Is he trying to cover up for Clay?
