"Open this fucking door right now!"
I kept kicking and banging the door with my fists but no one answered. My mind kept working at a frantic pace, conjuring every possible worse case scenario. All outcomes were bloody and Stephanie ended up dead or crippled in far more than ninety percent of them.
I didn't know who left this message, but whoever it was had access to this police station and that didn't mean anything good.
Finally the door opened and my two favorite detectives sauntered inside. "Getting violent, aren't we?" Reade sneered. "Are you ready to confess to your crimes?"
I cautiously stepped away from the door as they entered. I knew their tricks. The last thing I wanted was to be arrested for alleged physical assault on a police officer. "I need to call someone, so unless you put off that fucking jamming device you have on, let me out of this room!"
