Chapter 2: The Aftermath
Red and blue lights flashed on the houses nearby. The scene resembled a carnival, with the lights and the amount of people walking in and out of her house. She would have never guessed in a million years that she would be in the back of a police car wearing handcuffs while her mom, in a body bag, was being placed inside an ambulance. Officers called her Dad, any moment he would be here to witness this nightmare. Tonight would be the first time she would be happy to see him, she was certain the police would release her under his supervision. Why wouldn't they?
Her world came crashing down when a police officer stepped into the driver’s seat, slammed the car door and took off. She wasn’t being released to her dad, her mind quickly traced back the memories of when the police came in and placed handcuffs on her. Megan’s heart was beating rapidly, pounding like the drums like at a rock concert. So loud almost like all she could pay attention to was the beating. Then bam, all of a sudden she was thrown into the back of the police car. The police officer in the front was on the phone and she could only decipher enough to know that he was on the phone with her dad. Other than that, it was like the officer was speaking a foreign language.
Megan watched outside as stores and witnesses whizzed by the window. Everything was flashing before her eyes. She wanted to scream out and hit the STOP button. Not like it would help any, ever since the moment she was aware the world has been jabbing pins in her. Now all she could focus on was some stupid imaginary button that would magically make her life better, gees, that shit only happened in fairy tales. The real world had only one motto: be the shitter or be the one being shit on. Obviously, she was the one chosen to live her life in hell, partially buried in shit.
“Hey back there, how about I stop the car and let you go?”
What, was she imagining this?
“Are you awake back there? I’m offering you the freedom to at least answer me.”
She sat perfectly still, not muttering a peep. Was this in her head? Was he really willing to let her go like this? Megan didn’t want to be rude, but she had no clue what to do. Act like this in all her head and watch as she’s taken to the next path in her life. Or answer him and figure out if she’s going insane.
Clack! Clack!
The officer struck the cage separating the front seat from the deviants. The nonconformists that have one paved path to the swinger. And now she’s one of them.
“Yes! Let me out I want freedom.” she yelled out.
“Like hell I will, Murderers like you don’t deserve freedom.”
Yep she should have known better to stay silent. Without thinking Megan slammed her body against the door, pulling hard at the door handle. The police officer gave her a dirty look and stopped the car. His hand pounded on the steering wheel. He opened the door and mumbled something. The police officer made another gesture before opening the back door, attaching her handcuffs to a metal bar on the seat to stop her from moving. Before shutting the door his hand slammed her head hard against the seat.
“You try that again and I’ll hit you harder.” He said, before spitting at her.
Megan stayed silent, wishing this moment would end. Her handcuffs dug into her skin, her mouth slammed shut like a vice. She looked up noticing the cop staring down at her like she was a pile of shit. Why wasn’t the car moving already? She couldn’t bear to look at the man anymore, her eyes fell to the floor. Megan could still feel him staring at her, his hatred was like knives stabbing into her.
“You mention this to anyone, and I’ll make your life in the clink a living hell! You hear me?”
Still no words or even a peep came out of her lips.
