Over Him... (Sort Of)

JADA POV

"I can't believe this!" I said.

"Look, we'll be out before you know it. My mom called our lawyer to assist" Chris said. It was somewhat sweet he didn't want me to be alone. But he's also crazy for what he did.

Officer brown had the cell door open "you two follow me". Looking at Chris he nodded. We followed him into a small room. "Are you two crazy?" He asked.

We didn't answer.

"Chris you spat at the cop? You do know that's a crime!" He said.

"Well he shouldn't have racially profiled Jada. That wasn't right at all" he said.

"Exactly, I've seen these things on tv... but for it to happen to me. I was shocked" I said. Officer brown took a seat and sighed "look... at this present moment I have to assume maybe your place wasn't broken into. Maybe it was all you, Jada".

I jumped back in my seat "excuse me? Are you serious?". Turning to Chris "he's not serious?".

"Let's look at the facts... most offenders always end up going back to the place of the crime. And where were you before getting arrested?".

"I was at my place! Making sure I could find something that wasn't trashed!" I said.

He nodded "I don't know if I could believe you. And being with Chris doesn't help your case. He was known back in the day as a house burglar".

Turning to Chris once again "say what?!".

"That was a very long time ago. I don't do that anymore and you know it. So don't even try and bring me into this. The point is... Jada went to her place in which she can it's hers. Granted it's a scene of a crime... we get that. But she wanted to see if she can save something of hers. Now that asshole cop you have should be fired for the way he handled Jada. If you won't do it. I'll make sure to put out a lawsuit when I get home" Chris said.

Officer Brown looked a little uncomfortable when he mentioned the lawsuit "before we do that... I have to investigate what happened".

"My ass you will. Watch his dash cam. It's all right there! Unless he's a grimy cop and got rid of it or it wasn't on. Either way it will be handled" Chris said.

"Let's get back to what's the topic here. Jada did you do this to your place? Maybe for attention. Sometimes you females will do some outlandish things for attention. Or insurance money? Be truthful here".  

I can't believe this. Getting blamed for what happened. This can't be real. Makes it feel like a damn dream. Before I could answer Chris stood up "she doesn't have to answer anything. Jada pleads the fifth".

Officer Brown nodded "if you say so. But I have to follow protocol. Jada will now be suspect number one. And if I find out shes the one behind this... you'll be going away".

You know what you hear how corrupted cops can be on television or through other people. Now I understand... I was hurt. Just then Chris lawyer walked in "stop talking!".

"Thank god you are here. Settle this mess! Get the officer who arrested us fired for discrimination" Chris said. He grabbed my hand and walked me with him out the door.

On the ride to my dads home I was quiet. My mind was wheeling from what just happened back there. "You used to rob houses?".

Chris sighed "yup. I was in my teens when I did those things. Was trying to deal with some things but instead I did bad things".

I didn't answer. I just looked out my window.

"Hence why I have a lawyer on call. Can't shake my past sometimes. As you witnessed" he said.

I nodded "yeah..."

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Honestly? No. I'm not" I said.

"I figured you weren't. Look what you experienced was something that wasn't right by any means" he said.

"I know that" I said.

Holding in tears. I didn't want to cry. Not wanting to show how beaten down I felt. Also feeling very confused as well. So many feelings. We pulled up to my dads home and it was very late. He seemed a little upset and worried. After explaining what happened he calmed down.

Holding Gianna made me feel better. Walking her to the car... Chris opened the passenger door for me. He watched me put her in the car seat. I just wanted to go shower and sleep.

As we got home I put Gianna in her crib and I ran to shower. The dirty feeling of being in that cell I wanted scrub off.

Glancing at the time I saw it was four in the morning. Plopping down in the bed I just closed my eyes and went to sleep.
