Ansley’s office,” Trina said.   Reno looked beyond her.   The school’s resource officer, a local cop,
was guarding the principal’s door.   “They’re questioning Dommi, Reno.   They wouldn’t let me in.   I
contacted Vic Vereen and he’s on his way, but he said the police and social
workers have a legal right to question Dom out of our presence if we’re the
ones being accused of abusing him.”
    Reno frowned.   “Abusing
him?   How the fuck are we abusing him?”
    The receptionist and others behind the desk looked at Reno,
as if the F word were foreign to
them.   But Reno didn’t give a fuck.
    “You wait here,” he said to his wife as he hurried toward the
principal’s office.   But Trina was right
behind him.   When the officer saw them
coming, he stood erect.   “You have to
wait out here, sir,” he said.
    “I want to see my son,” Reno said.   “They have my son in there and I demand to
see him.”
    “I don’t care what you demand to see,” the officer said.   “You aren’t going in this room.”
    Reno’s anger flared.   “And who’s gonna stop me?” he asked.   “You?”
    “That’s right,” the officer said confidently.   “You may play gangster in that casino of
yours, but you aren’t getting away with that behavior at my school.”   Then a voice laced with contempt came out.   “Now sit your ass down and wait your turn,”
he added.
    Reno couldn’t believe this clown was talking to him that
way.   Trina couldn’t believe it
either.   And when Reno defied him, when
Reno pushed his arrogant ass aside and went into that office anyway, Trina was
right behind him.   She knew they were in
trouble now, defying a cop like that, but she also knew the stakes.   Once those social workers got their child in
state custody, there would be mountains to climb to get him back.   If they ever got him back!   Reno was right.   They weren’t about to let some misguided
strangers take their son away from them.   Not without a fight.
    When Reno and Trina barged into the office, Dominic, who had
been sitting in a chair against the wall, being drilled by some female and what
appeared to be a plainclothes detective, ran to his parents as soon as he saw
them.
    Principal Ansley rose to his feet in umbrage.   “What is the meaning of this, Mr.
Gabrini?   We already told your wife we
had to do this outside of your presence!”
    “I don’t give a fuck what you told my wife!” Reno
blared.   “What right do you have
interviewing my son like this?   He’s a
kid!   You can’t just take him in some
backroom and question him like he’s some got damn
criminal!”
    “Actually we can,” said a tall, thin woman with an unusually
long face.   She rose to her feet.   “I’m Sharon Blum, and this is Sergeant
Crowston.”   He rose too.
    Reno didn’t care who they were, and wanted to tell them so,
but he knew he had to get his anger back under control. But before he could get
there, the disrespected police officer barged in.   “You’re under arrest, Mister,” he said
angrily, his fat face beet red as he grabbed Reno’s hands to cuff them behind
his back.   “You are so under arrest!”
    But the cop’s superior, Detective Crowston, called him
off.   “Just hang on,” he said.
    “Hang on?   But he
manhandled me, sir,” the officer decried.
    “A man with a gun let a man without one manhandle him?” Reno
asked.   “I don’t think so.”
    “I do,” Crowston, who couldn’t stand those gangster Gabrinis,
replied.   “I know my officer is not
lying.”   But he also knew, if they were going
to ever get their paws into this wise guy, it wasn’t going to be because he
manhandled some beat cop.   “Wait
outside,” he ordered the cop.   The cop
looked hard at Reno, seething with anger, but he obeyed orders and left the
office.
    “Now will you tell me what this is about?” Reno asked the
long face woman.
    “The Abuse Registry received an anonymous
