‘Kissing You’

Des’ree

As we entered the motel I saw a man shooting drugs into his arm in the park across the road. I felt trapped, and terrified. We walked the flights of stairs and entered the officers’ room, where they explained that they couldn’t take me to a police station because they needed to keep our meeting private. They locked the door and told me to sit down at the table, where they opened the laptop and asked for my details. Despite my fear and confusion I could feel that this was about to become a good-cop–bad-cop routine, and I was determined to tell the truth: that I knew nothing.

The detectives still didn’t believe me, and they were annoyed when I told them I needed to make a phone call. As soon as I got out of the room I ran down the hall as quickly as I could and almost tripped down the stairs. When I burst through the front doors I collapsed against a brick wall and called Hugh. I couldn’t tell him where I was or the predicament I was in but I went off at him anyway. I yelled at him, telling him how horrified I was and that I couldn’t believe I had been dragged into his mess, especially when I didn’t know anything. He apologised profusely but I couldn’t take in another word. I hung up as my mother called me, and after I told her what was happening my father called emergency services. He repeated their instructions to me: stay put and under no circumstances should I go anywhere else with the two detectives. Legally they had to tell the local authorities that they were interstate, but they hadn’t done this, which made the whole episode feel even stranger. Seconds after I hung up from my mother, emergency services called me and told me they were sending local police officers to check on me, and that I should stay on the phone with them until that happened.

In the worst possible timing, my phone cut out as one of the detectives came downstairs and told me to come back to the room with him.

My mother called me back and began to scream at me not to go near him as the detective demanded I get back upstairs. I was utterly confused and panicked.

‘Ava, if you do not come back upstairs and finish your statement, then this is going to get much worse. We can do this the easy way or the hard way!’ he shouted.

‘I’m not coming back up with you. I told you I don’t know anything,’ I said as I tried to tune out my mother’s panicked voice in my ear.

The detective glared at me. ‘Fine, have it your way. Stay here. You’ve chosen the hard way,’ he spat before turning around and running upstairs.

I lit a cigarette and forced myself not to cry. Within a minute the detectives returned with their diaries and stern looks on their face.

The first detective handed me a piece of paper that was a summons to a secret hearing.
