SELENA
“If you keep this up, you’ll be out of a job. I’m doing you a favor letting
you work here! Selena!”
Like the screech of a gull, my boss’ words followed me out of the store as I
wrestled with my bag with one hand and hurriedly ordered an Uber with the
other.
It was a risk, leaving three hours before the end of my shift, but when the
Los Angeles Police Department calls you and requests you down at the
station because your car was involved in an accident, it’s not the sort of
thing that can wait.
My first thought was my father.
All sorts of horrible car-related accidents flooded my mind as I sprinted full
pelt down the street, confirming an Uber two blocks away. My car wasn’t in
the greatest shape, so the keys were buried somewhere at the bottom of my
purse after I’d left it parked outside my apartment before work. But my
father was resourceful and his mind wasn’t in the greatest of shape
anymore. Drugs would do that to you. Being an ex-cop, he knew of at least
five ways to get into my car without the keys, and I wouldn’t put it past him
to have camped out, waiting for me to leave.
Fuck.
I need that car.
Cramming a handful of dollars into the hand of my Uber driver, I thanked
her for getting me here swiftly and safely, then hurried through the glass
doors into the Station of the LAPD. The familiar cold smell of stale air
mixed with sweat and antiseptic hit me like a punch on the nose.
I’d spent the better half of my childhood here, hanging off my mother’s
every word about how cool and brave my father’s job was. It was exciting,
having a father in the police force, and nothing made summer better than
the BBQs with his friends on the force or the fancy dances that would
follow the awards given out for bravery.
As a child, all of that was magical.
The reality was much colder. I didn’t know that his absences as I grew up
were because he was an Undercover Officer. I didn’t know that his years
around drugs as a Vice Cop were what led to his out-of-control drug
addiction until I woke up one morning and my mother was gone. She’d had
enough.
The absences, the weekly disappearances, and the lies were all too much for
her, so she left, and I took over caring for him. As exhausting and draining
as it was, I still held hope in my heart that one day, things would change.
Maybe a car accident would be the thing to do it.
“Hi, sorry, excuse me.” I placed my hands on the front desk and stood face
to face with an elderly Officer whose chin trembled underneath a wiry
mustache. “My name is Selena Hartley. I received a call about my car being
involved in an accident?”
