Fifteen minutes earlier
I hated leaving Sierra behind to deal with the CPS worker alone. This is the
worst thing that could have happened. She is so close to her eighteenth
birthday. Granted, she would’ve still had a hard road to get custody of Sam,
but at least she would be a legal adult.
“Let’s take this outside,” the officer orders, gesturing for us to head to the
stairs.
Guess he didn’t want to risk us going at it again in the elevator.
I take one final look back at her battered and bruised face, her eyes
begging me not to leave. The apartment door closes and I have no way of
knowing what fate awaits Sierra. How did they even find out? Who made
the complaint? I need to tell Rico what’s happened. He’s a different person
with her, compared to how he is with the other girls at the club. That’s
something I need to look into. Is he waiting until she’s of age?
The three idiots in the front hit the landing first and turn around to glare
at me.
“Okay, so Ms. Jones said none of you were to blame for the state she is
in, but I need to know why you all are here?” The officer takes a moment to
look each of us in the eyes.
“We don’t know why he’s here, but we’re her classmates. Our father is
the guidance counselor at the school and knows we’re friends with her. He
asked us to bring her homework over,” one of the twins says, and from the
red mark on his jaw, I know it isn’t the one who was calling me a pimp.
“I’m just a friend and I was here visiting.” He doesn’t need to know I was
here helping to take care of her. That would just drum up more questions
that I don’t want to answer, at least not without talking to Sierra first.
“And what was the altercation about?” the officer asks as he scribbles on
his notepad.
“Honestly, sir, I have no clue. There was a knock on the door. Sierra was
in the restroom so I answered it, and when she walked in the room, they
attacked me.” Fuck, it’s the truth. I’m just being kind and leaving out the
slurs they threw at me.
“We saw how she looked and assumed he hurt her,” the dark-haired one
says.
I hold my hands up in the air. “It wasn’t me. Am I being accused?”
“No, not yet. We will be investigating this incident.”
“You’re just going to let him get away with it? We showed up and he was
here and she looked like that,” the carbon copy who threw a punch asks,
pointing back to Sierra’s apartment.
“I’m not going to let anyone get away with anything.” He turns to me.
“Sir, I need your name and a contact number, then I need you to leave. We
will be in touch. The three of you wait over there.”
The boys comply, and I quickly give him the information before heading
down the stairs. When I look over my shoulder, two of the three amigos are
glaring at me.
