“So are
you ready to confess?”
“Cameraman…..!”
They just stared at me in confusion.
“What
did you say?”
I looked
at them and repeated, “Ask Justin about the cameraman, I think he might have
caught something while recording.”
They
looked stunned, one of them left the room while the other remained.
I
couldn´t stop smiling, but my heart was still beating so fast, all that was
going through my head was that I wanted to go home.

“I will
lead you to your detention room until
further notice…”
“Detention
room?....Why?...I..”
“You are
still a suspect, you will get to see your parents before that but you will have
to wait in there for them to pay the bail money.”
And with
that, I was escorted out of the room and to the waiting section to meet my
parents who were anxiously waiting for me. The officer explained what was going
on.
My mom
was the first to answer with tears in her eyes, “We don´t have that kind of
money sir.”
“Then
I´m deeply sorry but then you will have to stay here until we are done with our
investigation. She is one of the suspects you know.”
I didn´t
want to watch my parents, especially my mom cry.
“Mom,
I´ll be fine.”
“Fine! Fine!.....You
are in a police station, this is not fine. And furthermore, we can´t afford to
bail you out. I knew we shouldn´t have trusted that Justin kid……He looked like
trouble!”
At the
same time, Justin was also escorted by and he heard what my mom had to say.
“Mom!
You can´t talk like that, it´s not fair. You raised me well and you of all
people should know that I would never possess something like marijuana!”
“I
raised you well……..well, nobody ever thought you would run away from home, but
you did…..so what does that tell us……should we even trust you?!”
I was
both embarrassed and angry, I was boiling with disappointment and dislike. I
slowly turned back to the officer that was standing by me, “Take me to the
detention room, I don´t want to be here anymore, I don´t think I want to go
home either, maybe I won´t mind spending a week here if I could.”
There
was no response, it was just awkward silence. Justin was now ahead of me, I
screamed back, “maybe I´ll run away again, and this time you will never find me
again!”
Justin´s
room was right next to mine, we were just separated by the bars.
“I´m so
sorry you had to go through this on your birthday.”
“It´s
not your fault and I´m very sorry for what my mom said back there…...” I said,
still a bit angry.
“It´s no
big deal, I know she was pissed off, my mom does the same thing too sometimes when
she is upset.”
“She
does?”
“yeah,
but it´s very seldom, she gives me my own space to make mistakes and learn from
them, I mean, I´m growing every day and I will make mistakes right!”
“Yeah.”
It was silent for a while, “Did one of the officers ask you to contact the cameraman?”
“Oh yeah
they did…and I called my lawyer too but I wonder what they could possibly get from the cameraman.”
We were in the midst of talking when someone
passed by with cuff on and with two police officers by the side. On taking a closer look I
thought I was going dreaming. Justin and I looked at each other, What was she doing here?
