Lethal Elite

[23]

"What do you mean?" Keith asked.

"Exactly what I just said!" Pete shouted.

It threw me off guard because I wasn't used to seeing Pete get frustrated or upset.

"Hey don't yell at me I'm sensitive today. Isn't that right Amilia?" Keith yelled.

"I'm not yelling, I'm just slightly raising my voice." Pete mumbled.

"That's yelling." Keith replied.

"It's technically a form of yelling. Anyways, it doesn't matter! You were supposed to stay down at the station and you didn't. So this is your fault, now shut up."

"Maybe you should just take me home." I said quietly.

"I told you earlier you can't go back to your place." Keith replied.

"I meant your house." I said slowly.

I knew Pete's home wasn't home but it definitely felt like it. And I could see in Pete's eyes he thought so too.

"So are you guys having like an I like you moment? Because if so.. I can happily jump out of this window." Keith said with his hand on the window button.

"No little brother, Amilia is just taking interest in the thought that she is now realizing I'm not here to hurt her." Pete said while smiling.

"Anyways Amilia, Even if your house was safe before it wouldn't be safe now, or Pete's house. "

"Why?" I asked.

"If you guys have been camping out there for three days and Detective Mason just blew your cover, then that means anyone can so that makes it no longer safe." Keith explained.

"But why is all of this happening?" I continued.

"and plus ..." Pete said slowly, interrupting me and my question.

"If Dino and his gang escaped jail that means that they are after you."

"Why would they be after me!" I shouted, tired of being ignored.

"Because they're the ones who took Chelsea." Keith answered.

We then began pulling up to the scene and the police blocked off all the roads leading up to the station. They were not letting anyone pass, but as soon as they saw Pete pull in, they all moved the road blocks out of his way. I could see how well respected he was.

"I haven't seen this many police officers since-"

"Since my brother arrested you for stealing a $1000 dollar dress in the mall?" Keith said sarcastically.

"None of this is making any sense," I said as we all got out of the car, ignoring Keith's wack ass sarcasm. 

"Why would Dino Kidnap his own girlfriend?" I asked while chasing behind Pete.

"He wouldn't." Pete answered.

"What do you mean?" Keith asked, disagreeing with Pete.

"I think somebody made him do it." Pete replied.

"There's no way somebody can force another man, a dangerous man at that... to kidnap his very own girlfriend."

As they went back and forth about Chelsea being kidnapped by Dino, I looked across the street at the shop that I saw before. The one where the hooded man was standing across the street from me as he starred. I began reading the title of the shop and it said "A&D's Flower shop since before 1975" I whispered to myself.

"Just like the card attached to the black rose." I whispered to myself again.

"What are you looking at?" Keith said while standing directly in front of me.

"You know you're like that one mosquito that never goes away." I mumbled.

"Well that makes two of us hun bun." He said while grabbing me by my arm and dragging me into the station.

"What took you so Goddamn long!" Detective Lowe yelled while storming down the hall towards Pete.

"I hit a bit of a bump in the road on my way down here." Pete responded uncomfortably. 

"I see you brought the devil along with you." Detective Lowe said while looking towards me and Keith.

"Who her? Oh no she's just hanging around." Keith said while swaying me back and forth.

"No you idiot, I meant you! Now follow me." Detective Lowe said while walking off into the interrogation room.

"She missed me a lot more than I thought." Keith said while nudging me to follow her.

Pete then cleared his throat and said "You two haven't met. Detective Lowe this is-"

"I know who this is." Detective Lowe said while walking towards me.

"This is Ms. Amilia Rose Coveere. Hi how are ya? I'm Detective Melanie Lowe." She said as she reached out to shake my hand.

"You can just call me M-"

"Melanie?" I asked while looking at Keith and Pete, interrupting her sentence.

"Yes..." she responded slowly as she looked me up and down.

"And that is my top you're wearing and my pants and my socks and my shoes and that better not be my bra." she said while turning around and giving Pete a death stare.

"Well this is going to be a good time." Pete said as he started going through files to see who they had in the interrogation room.

"Just peachy." Melanie followed while walking away.

"Alright, who do we got?" Keith asked while walking towards the glass.

"Meet Blaze. Dino's right hand man." Melanie responded.

"Blaze?" I said as I walked towards the glass.

Blaze had a tight black shirt on and he also had those strange tattoos that I'll never forget.

"You know this guy?" Pete asked.

"Know? She was hanging with this guy at the club." Keith responded.

"I wasn't hanging with him at the club." I added.

"I'm pretty sure I saw you two have a conversation." Keith whispered.

"Shh be quiet, we can't hear." Melanie said.
