A Romance Gone Left

Caught

"Its stinks in here Ren, can't we go somewhere better?"

"If we go to a well known hotel they will have some kind of record of wanted people and they will either turn us away or call the police, do you want to get caught?"

"No."

"Then spray some febreeze and shut the fuck up!" Malik was regretting his involvement in this whole thing, he just wanted to go home. It was too late for that now though, he knew he had to protect his sister at all cost.

Back at the police station things were starting to add up about Serenity. Their mom had survived the car accident but later died from what was assumed to be complications from the accident. The only solution was to examine her body to find out the truth and the detectives assumed it would have something to do with a 7 year old Serenity. And they were right, the official cause of death and been from internal bleeding linked to the car accident however looking at the new evidence they had in from of them from the exhumed body it was clear that was not the case, she had actually been strangled by what appeared to be a leather belt. Now they just had to prove it was Serenity and find out why she did it and the only way they could do that was through Malik.

A couple days later a random couple reported a sighting of Serenity and Malik at a gas station. Once spotted by police they were followed for a fews days. Serenity had left the current motel to get food, leaving Malik alone, now was the perfect opportunity to get Malik and bring him in. They knew getting him alone would be the only possible way of getting him to talk and they only way Serenity would turn herself in. They were about Serenity but Malik refused to speak. All he would say is "Where is my sister?" Finally they were allowed to see each other in hopes they would say something the cops could use against them.

"REN!"

"EM!" The siblings hugged, Malik had tears in his eyes.

"I didn't talk, they tried but I didn't say a word."

"Good job, i'll find a way to get us out of this." Their adopted parents walked into the room, with their mother already crying.

"What in God's name is going on?"

"Don't worry about it Mom, I got this we ain't do anything!" Serenity had an attitude she didn't understand why they were here. She thought to herself "If it wasn't for Em I woulda killed them too."

"It's bad enough we constantly had to save you, now you dragged your brother into your mess? You're 19 Ren, you need to grow up because we can't save you anymore. We have your brother to think about. Come on Malik, we got a lawyer for you, we need you to talk so we can help you."

"I aint no rat, especially not on my sister. She was the only one always there for me. She fought to keep me safe. I aint no rat!" Malik was full blown crying remembering all the foster parents that beat him and how Serenity had come to his rescue every time. He definity needed therapy.

Serenity was crying too, realizing what she had pulled her brother into. "Its okay Em, you can protect me by protecting yourself. I'll be fine. Mom and Dad please make sure he doesnt get in trouble." She walked over to hug her brother not knowing when she would be able to see him again. "Im sorry, its okay to talk, im so sorry Em!"
