Crystal looked taken in the police presence, and despite her aches, pains, and humiliation, she couldn’t help but smile.
All of the exits were blocked, and several officers had drawn their weapons. A tall man with a slim build stepped forward, showed his badge, and said, “My name is Detective Elmer Grayson. I need everyone to put their hands in the air. My officers will come around, cuff you individually, read your rights, and lead you into one of the vans waiting outside. If you cooperate, we will go easy on you. If you resist, you will regret it.”
Jessica had been standing apart from the crowd, gloating, but she was blocked by a strong police officer when she turned towards the elevator. “You heard the detective,” he said, “Go over there.” He pointed to where everyone else was. “Raise your hands and wait for som
Apart from Jessica, everyone else that had been involved in the altercation at the hospital was brought to the police station. And that included Crystal, Amy, and the rest of the news crew. Of course, these last few were not cuffed, nor were they forced into the back of the vans.As chance would have it, Crystal was driven to the station by Officer Parks, the man who’d let her stepmother get away. It wasn’t his fault, though, and Crystal didn’t hold him responsible. He had treated her like a gentleman, and he hadn’t once remarked on the stench that clung to her.When they arrived at the station, Officer Parks led Crystal to his desk to get a statement from her. Once she was seated, he told her that he wouldn’t be able to talk to her for about a half-hour, but he got her a bottle of water and an egg salad sandwich, ensuring she had
Officer Parks looked at Crystal. There were tears in his eyes. “I am sorry,” he said, “but I have to do my job. You understand, right?”“Please,” Crystal begged. “This isn’t right. I didn’t do anything!”“I’ll make it quick,” Parks promised as he stood up and walked around the table. He pulled her out of her up by her hair with his left hand. Then he punched her in the gut with his right hand, and when she grasped her stomach, he reached into her pocket and swiped her phone.Chief Oskin chuckled and said, “Like taking candy from a baby.” Then, he turned to Officer Parks.“Get her out of my sight. She makes me want to puke. Stubborn criminal like her has no space in this
Nathan passed through the officers’ line and parked his sports car in the handicapped space by the front of the Police Station. He stepped out, saluted the soldiers, and then turned to face the two chiefs standing in the station’s entrance.Nathan was tall, he had a muscular build, and in his black suit, he exuded an aura of strength and power. No one could look at him as he was and not feel at least a little bit intimidated.James rushed to meet him halfway, offered his hand to shake, and said, “Mr. Davis, you honor us with your visit. Is there anything we can help you with?”Nathan gave an outstretched hand a disdainful look and refused to touch it. Then, when James pulled it back awkwardly, he smirked and said, “I’m here about a video I saw on YouTube earlier. Do you know what
Nathan ran the key card across the scanner that opened the Interrogation Room’s door, and Crystal pushed it open. The couple walked into the room together. The woman who’d supplied the eggs was on one side of the desk, while Officer Parks was sitting opposite her.When the woman saw Crystal, she turned to Parks and said, “She isn’t supposed to be here. Aren’t you going to do your job and lock her up?”Parks nodded and said, “I’m on it.” He had no idea what had happened between James and Nathan, so he got up and went around the desk. Before he could get to Crystal, though, Nathan stepped in, grabbed his arm, twisted it, and forced him to the ground. Then Nathan kicked him in the head, and he lost consciousness as he fell to the ground.By the time Parks woke up, t
Crystal looked at the woman who’d provided the eggs. “What’s your name, anyway?” she asked.“M-Mary,” the woman replied. “My n-name is Mary W-Wiggins…”“Well, Mary,” Crystal said. “If you don’t have any more information for me, it’s time for you to start eating the eggs.” As she talked, she took the glass of water on the table and poured its contents over Mary’s head. Then she cracked the two eggs she’d brought with her and emptied their contents into the cup. Finally, she handed the glass to Mary. “Waste not, want not,” Crystal said, and the grin on her face was not unlike that of a shark. “Drink up.”Mary looked at the glass, and her expression could see her feeling of revulsion. She
It wasn’t until Nathan had finished putting away the blow dryer, the portable table, and the chair that he realized it had been a while since Crystal had spoken.He frowned, “What are you thinking?” he asked.Crystal had been staring at the scratches on her arms, and she hadn’t been thinking about anything. Nathan’s question startled her, and she looked up. She thought for a moment, and then she said, “I was trying to think of how to thank you for acting as my hero today.”Nathan’s hand suddenly froze. Crystal’s unexpected politeness and obedience brought a trace of displeasure to his heart. He wondered if she treated other people the same way. The thought bothered him, and he momentarily lost interest in her repayment. He preferred the difficult, stubborn girl t
Instead of answering, Crystal lowered her head and gave Nathan a soft kiss on the lips, and she spoke to him with her eyes, saying, I’m being gentle. Can you be gentle, too?Nathan kissed her back slowly, and as he did, she opened her robe for him. She had just gotten out of the shower, so she was naked, and her breasts were like cupcake tops with pink cherries on top.After a few minutes, Nathan pulled away, and he rolled Crystal over so that he was on top, and she was on the bottom. He placed his left hand on her right breast and then kissed her entire body. He started at her earlobe and worked his way down, but when he got to her neck, he was startled to discover the black leather collar she was wearing. He pulled away and gave Crystal a dirty look. “What the fuck is this?” he growled.Crystal b

She’d said, “Oh, God... Wake up, Carlos! Are you blind? You’re just taking her side because you still love her.”Carol Watson: “Hey, Skater. Was Crystal still a virgin when you dated her in high school?”Skater Deiter: “Oh, stop it. You guys are too much. You guys are going to scare her away from the get-together this weekend.”Jack Elfman: “If I were her, I wouldn’
