“Officer Inouye, if you and Scotts wouldn’t mind giving us some privacy I would appreciate it.”  He said not taking his eyes off of me and my sister.  The two men shrugged and made there exit leaving us here with him.  This scenario and feeling felt very much like Animal Planet.  When the Lion is stocking that poor Zebra.  I can now relate.

“I will give you two girls one minute to start confessing everything about LA that you may have forgotten.”  He announced in a firm voice.  The walls of the police station caused him to echo.  As if saying this in my face wasn’t enough.

Kyla sent me a scared look.  She was clearly frightened.  I didn’t know what to do so I just stayed quiet.  

“Thirty seconds.”  He announced to us.  When Kyla and I still stayed quiet he looked ready to burst not that I blamed him.  he obviously knew something.  I just didn’t know what that something was.  And with the very large possibility of revealing something that he doesn’t know, I choose to stay quiet.  He did tell me my rights while I was being cuffed.

“Fine!  Don’t tell me.  I’ll tell you!”  He said in a growl.  I actually cringed.  “When was the last time you two saw your mother?”  His tone was challenging and he obviously knew the answer.

“A while.”  I answered.  I wasn’t being respectful but I really didn’t give a damn.  I was pissed at him!

“A while?  Thats great.  You know we called your house in LA, and her voice mail is full.  We checked whatever records we could find anything that has to do with you and your mother.  She somehow just stopped having to pay expenses for you girls on day.  I find that very interesting.”

I rolled my eyes.  On the inside I was sweating but on the outside I kept my composer.  I’ve had practice.  I know how to keep my cool and appear like I have no care.  The worst he could do is send me to Juvie.

“See the reason we bring this up is because when a kid gets arrested you call their parents.  Paula is coming to pick up Glen and Spencer, while aunty Lisa is coming to get Aiden.  So do you know who has to come and get you two?”  He asked.
