Whisper glared at me. “You leave us no choice, Indiana. We need to take you in.”
“Ah, come on, Whisper, please,” I said.
“I’m sorry.” Whisper’s tone softened, but her expression remained stern. “I have orders from Ryder to arrest you.”
“Ryder! What the hell? He knows I wouldn’t do that on purpose.”
“You fired a flare gun without cause,” Jeff said.
“Without cause! That bastard was hassling me!”
“Indiana, we need to do this. It’s up to you which way.” Jeff flicked the handcuffs attached to his belt.
I raised my eyebrows. “You want to handcuff me, big boy?”
“If we need to,” Jeff said.
“No, we’re not.” Whisper scowled at Jeff. “Indiana’s going to come with us calmly, aren’t you?”
“No, I’m not. What about my rights? Huh? That bastard was harassing me. He’s a lying thief and?—”
“Turn around.” Jeff shoved my shoulder.
“Hey! Don’t touch me.” I clenched my jaw.
Whisper grabbed my arm and yanked it up behind my back.
“Stop it,” she hissed in my ear.
“Whisper, come on. Listen, I found something.” I tried to look at her over my shoulder.
Jeff snapped the cold steel of a handcuff over my free wrist.
“What the fuck?” I tried to yank my arms free.
“Indiana Smith,” Jeff said in my ear, “I’m placing you under arrest for reckless endangerment, arson, and resisting arrest.”
“Resisting arrest. No. This is bullshit!”
Whisper’s gaze filled with regret. “Come on.”
She nudged me forward.
The handcuffs dug into my wrists as I climbed the stairs, but my humiliation hurt much more when I saw Kane’s smug grin.
“You bastard,” I yelled. “You’re going to rot in hell.”
“I didn’t do anything, Indiana. This is all on you and your damn anger.”
“Shut up, asshole!” I fought against the stupid handcuffs.
Dad marched toward me with both anger and worry in his gaze.
“Don’t leave him alone here, Dad.”
His jaw dropped, and his expression sank even more.
“What?” I barked.
