Little Liar.

Connection (6)

A hotel maid burst into the room screaming frantically at me, she knew Miles was dying, but how he was dying wasn't her top priority. "Sir...I'll have to do it, I'm sorry." She screamed before noticing it was all set up. His bare chest. No wait! His scarred chest. "Alright you may find this upsetting sir..." She whispered seriously as she went to shock him. Nothing. Matt came in by this time and his eyes glistened with tears. "Shit...I didn't think it was serious." He muttered when I hugged him and knew as a Sargent guilt was all I felt. I felt I could paint walls with it. Maybe even make it into a cheese and put it into sandwiches. The maid shocked him again. His heart began beating again. It was weak but he was finally alive again! "He's gonna be just fine, sir...wait sirs." She smiled before his pulse grew stronger. Matt had faint and happy tears rolling down his cheeks Miles will be okay.

She stopped defibrillating him and unattached the kit before her eyes widened. His chest scarred with old cuts and bruises "ma'am we don't wanna sound harsh but I'm Sargent Turner, that's Officer Helders and the lad you saved is Officer Kane. You must not tell anyone about this. You must forget the scars you see. Now go!" I explained nervously before leading her out the room. "He can't have this many...I'm sure he was fine last week...maybe even last month when he had that pool party at Gene's and Dino's." Matt sniffed while he stroked his hair. I nodded as Miles slowly awakened. "What happened?" He groaned seeing me and Matt's worried face.

BACK TO MILES'S POV
I rubbed my face and felt so sick. I felt so exposed, shirtless and on a bed. Anxiety kicked me multiple times before I sat up, Alex and Matt helped me to sit up "You had a heart attack Miles..." Alex snarled before Matt gave me a glass of water. "You took drugs, what the fuck made you think that was safe?" Alex yelled. I knew he was upset, angry even. I tried to stop shaking so I could drink my water. "I guess it made me forget who I was for a bit." I blurted out. Alex gulped before looking back at Matt. "Alright trauma king, explain that last blurt." Matt ordered. I knew I couldn't. Everything seemed like a story. Maybe a cheap ass film. It just was playing on loop. To pester me. To get some chat. "I can't Matt...you'll never forgive me." I muttered before getting a shirt to cover my scars. He tuttered and shook his head before mumbling, "This is important to the fucking case you could get arrested for!" Alex was horrified and pinned Matt to the wall. As both were officers, well Alex was a Sargent they fought for dominance "FUCK YOU HELDERS! IT IS OBVIOUS WHAT HE MEANT!" He snapped before Matt pushed him hard to the ground. "What the hell Matt!" I gasped as Matt stood over him breathing heavily. I struggled to breathe as panic rolled over me. "Just leave Helders. I don't think Breana loves you either." I hissed before Matt glared at me. Daggers were raised. "What you saying about my Breana?" He asked with tears in his eyes. I didn't repeat it knowing I'd be out cold before he could cook me for his dinner. "Exactly. Get on with this fucking case!" He spat before leaving.

Alex and I were in shock. Alex helped me calm down before seeing under the collar of my shirt was scars. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened during this case? 8 years ago." Alex asked making me flinch and memories poured in. I coughed a massive coughing fit as I struggled to breathe. "Calm down Miles. I am your boss, a friend even and you're the best officer I know!" He soothed as tears ran down my face. "I didn't go with them. I was left with Tim, Tim Woodhedge. I remember he beat me and starved me. I tried to stop him. I tried escaping but he got worse day by day." I mumbled. Alex mouthed a curse in shock and hugged me. I was still breathing hard. Yes I was afraid. After all what could I be? "It got so bad I vomited any food that I smelt or ate. It took me 2 months to get over that." I sighed as my breathing calmed. Alex nodded and watched me get up and grab my photo book. "What are you doing showing me?" He asked as I shoved a page to him. It was photos of me and Alfie. Happy. Confident. Free. Wild. Punky. Cute. "Is this that cousin?" He asked pointed to an image making me nod and zone out.

I ran up to Alfie's door and smiled excitedly, rubbing my hands as it was cold. "Bleeding hell Miles, you look so much more thinner! Is Pauline making you vegetarian?" Aunty Alice asked jokingly making me laugh. "No no, is Alf in?" I replied laughing. She nodded and turned to yell up the stairs,"Alfred, Milano is here!" I heard him shout back, "Tell him it's too soon, tell him next week" this made me sick as he needed teaching or worse events would occur "You heard 'im Miles, hop it." She sighed pushing me into the street. Jay had seen me and ran up to me and grabbed the back of my coat. "Fucking useless, aren't you?!" He hissed before I began to cry out in pain. My chest felt warm. It felt wet almost, yet sticky and dry. "What the fuck?!" Jay choked as I turned to face him and began to tremble. "I-I-I h-h-h-have b-been s-s-stabbed..." I wheezed making Jay freeze up as I lost colour in my cheeks. My body was about to fall and kill me when Aunty Alice came out and saw me. "I'll call an ambulance. Miles, Jay inside now!" She ordered as I felt my body shut down on me. "Miles, stay calm, please!" Jay begged as he went to pull the knife out making me sob louder. "Hush hush hush, the funeral will be quick." He whispered coldly before I lost consciousness.

Alex was now infront of me with keys and jangling them like Christmas bells. I rubbed my face and caked smiled on and whispered "Quick Funerals are cool." Alex stopped jangling the keys and led me outside and when we got outside he smiled, "Time to bust this crime further." Making me have a thousand questions and a million thoughts "We are going to Jay Sharrock's house. He's in the area, a tad concerning if Albarn lives here too?" He said when we met Matt. I went cold. Jay was the reason I was still alive. He probably believes I betrayed him. "Does he still do crime?" I asked numbly as a car pulled up. "I'm afraid we don't know the answer but Officer Dawes might." Alex sighed as we got in. Officer Dawes turned to me and glowed a warm summery aura. "Yes he does still do crime, his 4th Wife recently helped him escape jail to rob a bank." He added making me stunned. 4th Wife...surely not. "Thank you sir. You smell of summer. Might be off-putting to this case." I blushed as we drove into the city. He responded "Better than that! I am Mr Summer." Laughing brightly. Alex turned on the radio and The Coral - Bad Man came on. We were ready to tred the earth to fix crime. No one could bring us down.
