Chapter EIGHT

Harlow

There are things you never think could ever possibly happen to you, so you never plan for them in your mind. Being surrounded by what seem like hundreds of guns pointing at you, unsure because of the searchlights blinding your vision, voices from every side yelling at you to get on the ground. That's one of them.

My hands were in the air but it took a ton of physical effort to keep them there, they seemed to suddenly be as heavy as pair of solid lead pipes attached to my shoulders.

“On the ground. Get to the ground now.”

“I'm trying.” A tiny little voice called out deep inside my head.

Everything was moving so slowly. My body was like an astronaut's, refusing to conform to movement commands. My brain could not compute holding my hands in the air and dropping to the floor at the same time. I was trying to work it out. In the end, my knees buckled and I sank to the floor, barely registering the resounding crack of my knees on the solid concrete.

It's strange how when something goes out of control in your life, then suddenly three things get crazy, then everything is haywire all at once. Like a roller coaster cart. Once it starts rolling, there's no choice but to negotiate all the ripping pinnacles and precarious drops until it reaches the end.

I was pushed into the back of a cruiser, the top of my head shoved down brutally but I barely registered the pain. Every cell was gone from the present moment, refusing to believe this was happening to me. As we lurched away into the dark, surrounded by ten other screeching cars, only one thought occurred to me.

“Please let Cole be alive.”

Because if he wasn't I didn't care one jot what happened to me now. I went to the hit to keep him safe, not for my step father like I told myself. Cole was the only one I was terrified for. Without him in my world, I couldn't imagine how life would continue.

The only thing that prevented me from curling up in a ball like a cat was how brutally I was pushed around and yelled at. You'd have thought that a person would be treated like a human being, at least until they were proven to have done something terrible. But no.

It was as though my humanity had been eradicated the moment they discovered me beside the body. I was shoved around from here to there with more brutality than seemed necessary. Although I was no way allowed to lie down and rest for a second, inside I curled up, tiny and afraid as a solitary kitten.

But I couldn't give up. As the questions kept firing at me, I had to get my thoughts together and tell them something they needed to hear.

“What were you doing at an empty building site in the middle of the night?”

“I got a call to meet my father there.”

“A call from who?”

“I don't know.”

“”You don't know? Come along Ms Sanderson don't be coy.
