Chapter 5

There was just one word that could describe the atmosphere at the station: tension. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The way Ernest Davenport looked at the detective and then at Taylor…there was no telling what would happen next. He took a step forward and roughly pulled the detective aside. The detective angrily broke away from his grip.

“Whatever you have to say to me, Mr. Davenport, you can say it in front of everyone here,” she said. Ernest looked at Taylor and then turned his attention back to the detective.

“Catherine, you cannot let this man walk out of here. He needs to pay for what he did to my son!” Ernest said angrily. Detective Jones shook her head and gave Ernest a smile.

“Why, Mr. Davenport? Why should I hold an innocent man when all he did was defend himself?” she asked. “You do know that the man who throws the first punch is usually accountable for everything that goes down - in this case, your son’s unfortunate quote unquote accident,” she said in a somewhat condescending tone.

From where they stood, Desiree, Cynthia and Rochelle could see Ernest’s cheeks flaring up. He was obviously not used to being undermined especially by a woman. He was a man who ate, lived and breathed power. This, being put down like this, was all too new for him.

“Catherine…” he started before the detective put her hand up.

“Detective Jones to you and that is the last time I will make that correction, Mr. Davenport,” she said as she looked into his eyes.

“You are making a mistake,” he told her before turning to look at Taylor. “You are all making a mistake!” he yelled. Detective Jones took a step forward and smiled.

“Do you remember when I was a little girl and you used to come home just as we sat down for dinner? I never knew why but as much as I enjoyed your visits thanks to the small gifts you brought with you, my father was always unsettled when you came home and then one day I heard my parents argue. That was the first time I heard them argue about anything and it was simply about you and guess what you won then but I am my own woman now. I will not be your patsy so you can tread upon my precinct as you see fit. I am not my father and you may have had him bent over a barrel but I will not be your bitch, Ernest Davenport,” she said in a voice low enough for only him to hear. Ernest’s face looked like he had seen a ghost as he looked at her.

“You are right, Catherine. You are no longer the little girl I used to know,” he said before he walked out.

Detective Jones took a long deep breath before she walked towards Taylor and Tony. She flashed them a smile as she stood in front of them.

“Should we be worried?” Tony asked. She smiled and shook her head.
