“My mom….she cut me off.” He rubs his eyes while more tears fall.
I can feel my limited patience begin to drain away. Turning to Callagham, he merely shrugs. I gesture for him to follow me from the room, closing the door behind us.
“Did he have money on him when he was arrested?” I ask.
Callagham flips through the log but shakes his head.
“Just a phone, his wallet and cocaine. But there was no cash.”
“Why was he arrested?”
“Anonymous call came in last night; someone was complaining about a drug deal outside their apartment. Brent was picked up by patrol a little later.”
I look back through the window, Brent pacing the room, scratching at his skin, but it’s not the scratching and continued picking that draws my attention. It’s the numerous track marks that mar his skin, some older and some new, but he’s covered, which are the signs of a constant user.
Snatching the file from Callaghan, I continue reading through the reports of each arrest, my eyes scanning page after page. He shoots me a questioning look, leaning in closer, trying to read, but I just take a step back.
“Shit.” I mutter.
Moving with a purpose, I storm through the office and back into the captain's office without knocking. As the door swings open, he holds his coffee halfway to his mouth. Ignoring the anger blooming across his face, I slam the report down onto his desk.
“It’s a setup.” I protest.
“What?”
“The arrest, the whole thing, someone wanted Harry dead.”
“What makes you so sure?”
Opening the report, I slide it over to the captain. His eyes scan the pages for a moment before he looks at me. His eyes are wide, he leans back in his chair, running a hand over his stubble.
“Cocaine, he’s a heroin user. But could he be selling?” He asks.
“Why have cocaine in the first place if you can have heroin instead?” I ask. “Because they wanted Harry dead, they knew he was here. They knew the junkie kid was an easy target. All they had to do was get him arrested.” I protest.
Captain Dean slumps into his chair.
“But the blade wasn’t on him. He was searched?”
My blood runs cold. Straightening up, my gaze roams across the busy office, watching everyone go about their day.
“Someone here gave it to him.” I mutter.
“Grey, you can’t be fucking serious. Do you have any idea what you’re accusing somebody of?”
“Luca.” I let out a heavy sigh. “Harry has been arrested, and if the right deal is offered, he may spill his guts. Tell us everything.
“Shit.” The captain mumbles, leaning back in his chair he studies the ceiling for a moment.
My phone begins to ring, immediately sliding it from my pocket, I see Summer’s name fill the screen. For a moment, I just stare, but I can’t answer her call here. Tapping ignore, I slide it back into my jeans and turn to the captain.
“I need the security footage from the office captain.”
“Fine, I’ll call down now.”
Nodding, I leave the office. Keeping my head down, I step through the main office and head towards the main doors and outside. Glancing around first, I pull my phone out and hit call. Holding it to my ear, I let out a heavy sigh when it goes straight to voicemail.
“Come on, answer baby.”
