Rodney, you guys kicked in my door. Did you have probable cause? A warrant? No, I never saw a warrant. You can’t use the drugs as evidence because guess what, you have violated my 4th amendment rights.”
The look of shock is written all over his face.
“Oh didn’t you know? I was pre law before I changed majors and became an architect. So if you are going to spit the law at me, I guess your ass better make sure that you are on the right side of it. I do believe what you guys did was an unlawful entry and guess what, you can’t do jack shit, but just for shits and giggles I will go with you, not because you are making me, but because I am not in the mood to argue with you any longer.”
“Babe, I will see you at the house.”
“Okay, see you there. I love you.”
“I love you too babe, and please listen to him. He’s only trying to help you. He loves your mom, or Patrice as you are calling her. Think about her during all this. I am sure it’s twice as hard on her.”
He leans down and kisses me on the forehead.
“Come on Kayla, we need to talk.” Rodney states.
“Okay, so what do you want to talk about Rodney?”
“Well first off, I think you owe Patrice an apology. She was scared shitless. She had went into your room and you were gone. She was coming down the stairs panicking when Garrett got the call from your friend Damon.”
“He’s not my friend. More like a frenemy.”
“Anyway, whatever he is, his phone call most likely saved Seth’s ass because she was sure that someone had taken you.”
“Rodney, I know you are only looking out for Patrice, but I really don’t owe anyone anything.” I cross my hands over chest and let out a loud breath.
“I’m sorry that you feel that way. Because regardless what you think, Patrice loves you and she is hurting just as much if not more than you are.”
“How in the hell do you figure that Ace?”
“She has felt guilty for over twenty-five years. When she walked out of that hospital, she had the best of intentions. She wanted what was best for you. Do you think she would have packed up and flew across the damn country for just anyone? No, she has a bond with you. There was something inside her telling her that she could help you. And why you do you think that is?”
I shrug my shoulders and gaze out the window and watch Seattle pass us by.
“Kayla, you are not dumb. I know that you feel the same bond she does. She loves you and I know deep down you love her too. Yes, you have a right to be upset, but have a little compassion for her. She is hurting just like you. So if you can’t find in your heart to show her you care enough to simply apologize for acting like a spoiled brat who didn’t get a pony for her birthday, then you need to tell her to go home. She deserves a chance Kayla.”
“Rodney, I will think about it, okay? That is the best answer I can give you right now. I will be civil and respectful of Patrice. I can’t offer anything else right now. I am sorry. ”
“All I ask is that you try. Walk in her shoes for just a minute. Imagine giving up a child then finding out that the child you gave up was raised by monsters. Don’t you think she has enough guilt?”
With that, I get out of the police car and I see the beast parked in her spot so I know Garrett is home.
“I will be up in a minute, Rodney.”
“Kayla no offense but can I have your purse? “
“You know, I’m too tired to even argue with you. I only want to gather my thoughts before I walk into my house, but if it’ll make you feel better, take my damn purse. You won’t find anything else. Hell, you already have all the damn dope.
“Kayla, believe me when I say I don’t want to be the hard ass. I have really grown to like you. You remind me of myself when I was younger—stubborn and very hard headed but in the end you will do what is best.”
“I’ll be up in a few. Please allow me to stand here and look at the Seattle skyline.”
He nods his head and
