Chapter Twenty
As soon as I hit the bricks, the alarm starting going crazy, but I didn’t care because I was out of there. Without looking back, I ran like my life depended on it, and before I realized it, I was three blocks away and barefoot. In my haste to flea, I’d totally forgotten to grab my flip flops from the side of the pool chair. ONK! ONK! ONK! I heard the police sirens before seeing the squad car roll up on the side of me. “Shit!” I tried my best to appear normal but being barefoot in a bikini was a dead giveaway that something was up. “Where are your shoes?” The white officer asked.
“Oh, I got locked out of my apartment.” I lied and kept on walking.
“Where is your apartment? Maybe we can help?” They pulled the car over and parked.
“Really officers, I’m cool.” I rolled my eyes.
“It’s not a problem. Protect and serve is what we do.” The black driver pointed to the words that were printed on the side of the car. I wanted to ask these men where was all of that protecting and serving when someone was in a real life or death situation but I played cool.
“Honestly, I’m good. My brother is on the way with my spare keys.” I politely smiled.
“Janelle the gig is up.” He unfolded a piece of paper and turned it towards me. The photo I’d taken for my school ID was blown up as big as shit. Instantly, my stomach turned and I almost wet myself. I knew we’d been found out and I was about to go down for grand theft auto. I looked from side to side to see if I had an escape route, but the white cop peeped my game and called me on it. “Go ahead and run.” He laughed. “I was the star on my track team.” He began to stretch his limbs.
“Look I aint gone run, ya’ll got me. But first tell me what I’m being arrested for?” I turned around to face the wall and placed my hands behind my head.
“You’re not under arrest.” One of them laughed. “Somebody reported you as a missing person and led us to the Marriott with reason to believe you’d been shacking up there.”
“Are you for real?” I was relieved yet annoyed. The only person in the world that would report me missing is Gran. I’d checked in with her every week and had even made the mistake of calling her from the hotel phone.
“Come on girl lets ride.” The white cop held the back door open and gestured for me to get in.
