The Cartel Part 2: A Thin Line

40

Kelsey sat alone in the cold interrogation room, she didn't even know why she was there .. they had already confessed to the charges so they didn't have shit else to talk about ..

It was just as she had seen in plenty of crime movies, the brick walls, a cold steel table where only a tape recorder and a glass of water sat, the metal chair she kept adjusting herself in, and last but not least the two way mirror that was right across from her which she was more than positive hid a few people as they waited for her to show some kind of emotion.. They waited for her to say something ..

But she wasn't gonna give them that, instead she kept a straight face .. she had been in the same room for about a hour but no one had yet to step foot in the room..

She had asked for her lawyer the moment she walked through the door and she was surprised he hadn't shown up yet ..

It wasn't like him.. because she knew if it was up to Shane and Shamar they'd have a whole law firm inside of that interrogation room ..

Glancing up at the door, Kelsey watched as a bald Caucasian detective entered the room, cheap suit, and fake alligator shoes on with a Manila folder tucked under his arm ..

Rolling her eyes, Kelsey sighed as she folded her arms across her chest and slumped down in her chair .. "Here we go!!" She thought to herself

"Where's my lawyer ?" She asked

"Finishing up some paperwork, he'll be in soon .. I'm detective Lance Marshall .." He replied as he sat down, reaching out his hand for her to shake ..

"Well I don't have nothing to say to you .. Lance " She said, looking at his hand in disgust she frowned ..

"You don't have to say anything .. just listen .." He said, placing his arms back on the table .. Kelsey watched as he hit record on the machine ..

"We both know who your husband is, what he's capable of and the things he's doing not only in Miami .. but around the world !!" He began, pausing to see if he had Kelsey's attention ..

But her face never moved ..

"We don't want you, or Paris .. we want the real culprits of this operation, and let's be honest, as brilliant as you two maybe .. you're not who we want !!" He said, getting straight to the point

"Your speech is boring detective .." Kelsey replied

Smirking, he sat back in his chair "It's no speech Kelsey, is it really worth it ? What you and Paris is doing is stupid .. is it really worth it ? Your risking 10 plus years behind bars for your husbands mistakes .. That's years taken away from your kids, maybe even your life once those women find out who you are in there .." He said

Sighing, Kelsey chuckled as she glanced at her AP on her wrist .. She was legit tired, her butt was hurting from that chair and she wasn't in the mood to be questioned .. plus, she knew he was baiting for a reaction from her, they weren't gonna get 5 years let alone 10 .. and nobody in their rabbit ass mind had the audacity to touch a hair on them inside that prison and if they did they knew how to handle them accordingly..

"That's a nice watch .. Audemars ? Correct ?" He asked ..

Staring at him, Kelsey still stayed silent ..

Smiling, "We're going to get them and there's nothing you nor Paris will be able to do about it.. we're offering you something Shane and Shamar can't .. a prison free life.. because I guarantee you if you keep this charade up it won't only be them behind bars, we'll have you two too !! Your kids will be put into foster care, because let's be honest .. it's not looking too good for Mrs. Justine .. stage 4 breast cancer, am I right ?" He asked
