My story. My life. His death

Chapter 6

Shane quickly followed after me. 

"Mom I'm headed out!" I say as I pass the kitchen

 "But dinners almost ready!" She said clearly disappointed.

 "I'm not hungry. I'll eat when I get back I promise. I say as I run outside before she can find another reason to protest."

 "Isn't this dangerous?" he says as we get in the car.

 "For me not for you." 

"I don't want to put you in any danger." 

"I thought you wanted to find out what happened to you?"

 "I do.. but-" 

"You can't find something out like that without taking risk."

 "Well then lets not do it." He said 

"Too late" i say as I start the car. 

I start pulling out when he says "You always were so stubborn"

 I laugh as I say "We are both really stubborn." 

"True" He says. 

"What do you even plan on doing when you get there? You can't go in there and be like I would like to see the Shane Carson file." 

I laugh "Of course not Ashley's dad is a police officer. I'm just gonna act like I was there to see her."

 "Who's Ashley?" 

Oh right I forgot he's never met her. 

"It doesn't matter." 

"Your way to confident" he says.

 "Yeah probably."

 "I like this side of you. I've never seen it before." He said eyeing me from the side.

"I'm all kinds of shocking." I say as we pull into the parking lot of the police station.

 "Be careful." He said as I opened my car door. 

"Yes, Dad."

 "I'm being serious." I looked over at him and his eyes were filled with concern. 

"I'm sorry. I will."

 As we walk into the police station the front desk lady said "Can I help you?" 

"Yes! I'm here to see sheriff Murphy." 

"And what will you be speaking to Sheriff Murphy about." 

"I just needed to ask him some questions about my case." 

Shane gave me a weird look.

 "Okay just go sit right there and I will let you know when he's ready." 

As soon as I sat down Shane said "I thought you said you were going to tell them you were here to see Ashley."

 "I am but I can't tell her that! He would get in trouble. That's our code he'll know what that means." 

"Isn't that like what anybody could say?"

 "I suppose so. I never questioned how he knew it was. That's just what we've always done."

 "Nicole. Sheriff Murphy will see you now." 

"Show time" I mouth to Shane. 

He rolled his eyes. "Wait where are we going?" 

"The evidence locker duh!" I say as if it should be obvious. Even though I know it's really not. I just want to make him think i'm smarter than what I am.
