He was stunned at my sudden outburst but waved it away and turned his full attention to me. “Where was he found and where is he now”
“He was found in the house of Collins, held captive by him and he is now with his mother in her house of course” I replied, shoving my hand into my pocket and resting my back on the wall nearest to me.
“What?…”
“The next time you are going to spit at those words, I am going to assume you are dead and incompetent for your Job and I am going to leave with my criminals and my evidence” This time, I make sure to put more emphasis on the two last words.
“Oh…. I…. How? I mean I will need you to elaborate further while I record your statement.” He addressed me but his eyes flickered from me to Collins, still expecting him to speak up and defend himself.
“Good” I commented and moved even closer to the counter, knowing neither Collins nor Spencer would be stupid enough to attempt running away now in the premises of the cops. “You see, Collins here happens to have a healthy relationship with the boy’s mother but at times, he begins to demand even more. Terra being the mother couldn’t give more than she could offer so she attempted to draw a boundary between them. This boundary worked just fine for some time until the father of this kid came into the picture and the mother for obvious reasons, had her attention more fixed on the father of her kids than some random dude she met at work.” I explained as the two officers listened, Collins not daring to interrupt.
“And Collins seeing this, became really devastated and filled with jealousy and he began to look for ways to get the father out of the picture again. This led him to think, that kidnapping the child would set them apart and he would get what he wanted. He did that but unfortunately for him, the plan backfired and we caught him red–handed, holding the child he had taken part in searching for, Captive. Isn’t that shocking?”
Apparently, both officers didn’t share the same amusement stance as me and they both continued to have their gazes moving between us and speaking quietly to each other. Finally the other spoke up.
“And who is this?” He pointed at Spencer.
“Oh this one, He was a part of Collins’s plan. He aided with everything but at some point decided to opt out of the whole thing and blow their cover. He did that thinking he would be saved but here we are. As the saying goes, the friend of a thief is also a thief” I smiled throughout my speech.
“And do you have any evidence to back up your claims?”
“Oh yes!” I exclaimed. “I do have evidence” I fished out my phone from my pocket and handed it over to him. “You can transfer everything to your system and hand me over my phone, as I am using it”
I believe he could navigate his way through the phone without my help and he did and handed me back my phone. I waited for the voice recorder to perform its job of convincing them and it did.
“Who would have thought” the familiar officer commented after they had listened to the voice record for the second time in a row.
“Yeah right, a friend can be the hidden enemy” I mumbled in reply.
“I am no enemy of Terra” Collins uttered for the first time since he stepped into the station and I was saved from the stress of having to reply to him.
“Shut the fuck up!” the officer yelled. “You are under arrest and have no right to talk until you are permitted to.
In the blink of an eye, both men were reduced to nothing, handcuffed, and thrown in a cell.
Only then did I feel fulfilled..
