Chapter 13

Olivia sat on the wrong side of the interrogation table staring at the uniformed police officer as he listed her rap sheet. “It says here that five years ago you were involved with this ‘Black Anvil’ private military group?” He shifted his wide girth in the chair.

“Was. As in no longer affiliated,” she stated. She had been given the dignity of a jail shower. The holding cell’s guards had also been kind enough to provide her with a pair of oversized gray jogging pants, and a similarly coordinating sweat shirt.

“So why was Neotech’s private police chasing you?”

“I told you, because I found out about them using alien tech on that little girl I pulled out of the slums earlier this week. Seriously. Just call Gabe. He will explain it all. I was helping the police recover a little girl. She had a box attached to her, and it turns out that Neotech is experimenting on kids.”

“Well, Neotech is out of our jurisdiction. It’s a mega-block. They have their own police force. I am sure they are looking into the matter.”

“They were the ones chasing me! They were going to kill me and dump my body in the river. Don’t I get a phone call?”

“Nope. You can talk to a court-appointed lawyer after this if you would like.” He continued with little emotion as he read back his notes. “And you escaped by jumping out of a van and running away?”

“Basically,” Olivia said, throwing her hands up. The chains of the handcuffs rattled against the looped ring welded to the table.

The man leaned back in his chair and yawned. “There’s nothing on file about this kidnapping.”

“It’s because it's not in your district. Look, just call up Gabe, and he will sort all of this out.”

“I guess. Meanwhile, I have other cases to deal with. We’re going to put you into holding until we get this squared away. It might take a few days.”

“No, really, call him now. Like right now. I need to get out of here. There’s some serious stuff happening, and I need to tell Gabe about this. It's about his case.”

“Sure. Sure. Maybe later today.”

Olivia pounded her fist on the table. “No! I need you to make that phone call now!”

The man rolled his eyes. “I’ll get to it when I can.”

Anger boiled in her veins as she sat there seething at the underwhelmed cop. She wondered how much it would take to break the chains so she could strangle him with her bare hands. Gritting her teeth, she put her feet against the edge of the table and leaned back in her chair, tightening the links angrily. Pulling hard, she could feel the stainless steel cuffs cut into her wrists until her hands turned purple.

"Are you done?" He stood there, looking at her.

Exhausted, she relented but glared coldly at him.

The man just watched her with a dispassionate eye. She could see that he was working up to saying something snide about her attitude, but she didn’t care.
