"Director" the police woman addressed respectfully as she straightened her shirt
"Officer Jean, this was just one simple case" the so called director said sternly
"With all due respect, this is torture. How was I supposed to interrogate an uncooperative hormonal ignorant teenager…?"
"Don't call me hormonal" I interrupted the police woman "you were asking me silly questions, you can obviously see I am of the male gender but you instead asked the question….all that beauty with no brain"
"I will kill you" Officer Jean screamed as she launched herself at me. The two police men in the room managed to hold her before her wrath descended on me.
"Can't you see I'm handcuffed? In fact I'm charging her with public harassment, assault of a fugitive in police custody, hitting a minor, discrimination against the poor, vandalization of private property…she destroyed my shirt. You saw it director, didn't you? I'm pressing charges on Officer Jean and I need a lawyer. The policemen witnessed it and I'm sure that camera on the corner over there caught it all" I said with my nose high
The director's eyes widened slightly as if surprised at how many charges I could make of such a small matter, one that I had indirectly caused.
"Leave us" the director told the other policemen. "Take a seat Officer Jean"
For some moments, Officer Jean and I engaged in an eye battle with the director sitting between us.
"Five charges…and a lawyer" the director started
I slowly nodded my head
"Can you even afford a lawyer?" officer Jean asked
"Are, are you implying that because I'm poor I'm not entitled to have a lawyer speak on my behalf?"
"Director, as you can see he is still being uncooperative and insultive" officer Jean objected
"It's called freedom of speech, doesn't mean you should beat anyone who doesn't answer your questions" I retorted
"You know why you are here?" the director asked
"For escaping the sanatorium for the crazy" I said plainly
"And releasing other patients too…that attracts a …." The director started before I cut him off
"I was being held inside there illegally and I escaped since they wouldn't let me out. Was it legal to escape unlawful captivity? In fact, I would also like to press charges on that facility, they expressed the intention to inject me with doze of drugs not fit for normal people and the willingness to hold me there against my consent… just because I had no one to defend me"
When I finished, both the director and Officer Jean were staring at me like I had grown another pair of eyes.
"What?" I asked "officer director, where is my lawyer?"
"It's director Wellington"
"Officer Director I need a lawyer or else I would also press charges against you for holding me captive yet…"
"Okay, okay" the director raised his arms. He nodded at the mirror and the red light which was on the CCTV camera installed in the room blinked off. "I'm sure we can figure things out Mr.…"
"Now we are speaking and it's Shane Nostra" I smiled
"How about we forget everything that's happened today, call it a day. I will tell an officer to escort you back to school"
"No" I shook my head
"Ridiculous, "Officer Jean rolled her eyes
"I need compensation or else I'm pressing charges on two people and a facility" I said
"What, you forget you are still in police custody for the crime of…"
"Let him finish officer Jean" Director Wellington raised his hand
"For the time I lost I'll need five hundred dollars, a new set of uniforms and…and an apology from the officer here"
"I'm not apologizing for anything" Officer Jean stood up abruptly. She sat after she saw the reproachful look on the director's face.
"Director?" officer Jean protested
"It's part of your reform plan" the director said emotionlessly as he scanned me with a glint in his eyes.
"Time is of the essence" I said pretending to check my wrist
I smiled as I looked at her mad beautiful face. Trying to arrest a thousand year old demon lord? In their dreams. I had a million schemes in my mind and a dictionary of deceit, there was no way I could sleep in a police cell.
"I'm sorry" she said through her teeth
"I…I didn't ..."
"I said I'm sorry" she said angrily
"For?"
"I apologize for harassing you and tearing your shirt" she was really mad at me. If the director wasn't here then she would have already chewed me alive, puke me out then stomp me to the ground. I could see that in her eyes.
"I'll have the money brought to you and the new pair of uniform in some minutes" the director said as he stood up. He uncuffed me from the table.
" Thank you officer director" I smiled
"Again, we are sorry for holding you and for the poor treatment my officer as shown" he said before leaving
"We will meet again" I read Officer Jean's mouth when she followed the director outside the room
"Looking forward to it" I said loudly whilst smiling.
