Shai prayed for her sisters’ calm. Took a deep breath and did it again. Nothing worked. Lopez was irritating her all the way around. From the way his smarmy eyes roved over her to the way his tone took this edge of disbelief when she gave her responses.

Eva and Tara would remain calm. Not let anyone see them crack. I’m fine with putting forth a strong front, but damn this fucker is pissing me off.

She also had to stay calm and relaxed because the one thing she didn’t need was her father getting a heart attack from the stress heaped on them. The detective tapped the end of his pen on the metal table of the interrogation room.

They could call it whatever they liked, she wasn’t an idiot.

“Are you sure you don’t have any more insight as to who from this list that we’ve interrogated may be behind this?”

Translation— I don’t think you’re smart enough to take a piss yourself and I want to spoon feed you a person so I can stop wasting my time with this case.

Think of your father. Can’t do anything to upset him further. Don’t make this worse. Tara has to work with these fuckers.

Ensuring the smile on her face never slipped, she loosely clasped her fingers before her.

“I apologize that I’m not providing the answers you’re seeking, Detective Lopez. However, as I’ve stated numerous times, I don’t know anything more. Had I any such knowledge, I would surely provide it for I have no wish to continue living like this. I would very much like to have my life back.”

She shifted on the seat, cutting her gaze to her father before accepting that any nicety had vanished like a puff of smoke in the wind. “I realize that my life being threatened is a huge inconvenience for the police department and detectives like you. I’m sure you have much more important things to do like look after people who don’t use their status to demand things from the department.”

Shai slid back her chair and encouraged her father to stand up, never dropping Lopez’s gaze.

“Thank you, though, for stopping all of your daily hard work to keep me safe while I am no longer allowed to go to my day job, because people may die, find a new car because mine had a bomb attached to it, or a house which may or may not have something happen to it at some point. I do appreciate your dedication to protect and serve. You are doing such a wonderful honor to the badge you wear. Come, Daddy, let’s go home. I’m done with all this.”

Silent, her father walked with her, both of them ignoring Lopez as he called out after them. She bit the inside of her cheek as she moved through the busy precinct, needing to find the door before she lost all control.

Not paying much attention, she just dragged her father with her down the street until she reached where she’d said for the ride to pick her up.
