The Law of Motion (Law Series)

by Di'Nisha Robinson

  "You don't understand. She didn't kill him, she loved him." I protested as calmly as I could.

  Bridges eyed me curiously, "You defend her like you care more about suspect than the victim. Weren't you all-"

  "Don't you dare!" I threatened losing my cool my voice breaking just a bit. "Don't you dare say what I think you're trying to say. He is ¾ was my friend. You can't fathom how much his death hurts me."

  "Then help us put it right." Bridges urged handing me a tissue. "Tell us the whereabouts of Alyssa Marshall."

  I swiped at my eyes and shook my head. "Even if I knew I wouldn't tell you. You'd be wasting your time anyway, she didn't kill him. She's being set up."

  This was a theory that they obviously had never considered, people always had a habit of taking the answer that was in front of them as the only possible way. "So who is setting her up?" Fields asked trying to hide his amusement. "Let's bring them down."

  "If it were that simple I wouldn't be in this chair right now." I chuckled grimly. "We're trying to catch a ghost."

  "I don't get it." Bridges pondered.

  Of course he didn't and I couldn't explain it without sounding more crazy. Gravity was facing it's biggest obstacle we ever faced, and our numbers were dwindling by day. We had no allies, and we were out of tricks because it was literally impossible to fight an enemy that knew all of our moves. This asshole knew everything we were capable of, secret pasts included so he was a step ahead of us every time. No, these idiots couldn't understand that, because I could barely understand it and I am in the middle.

  "We're going to tell you plain and simple Miss Kerrigan." Fields snapped, "If you can't give us the whereabouts of your boss, we're going to charge you as an accessory and that's a shit load of jail time."

  Him calling me Miss Kerrigan annoyed me to no end, and I wanted to smack that confident look off of his face, but instead I squared my shoulders and looked him in the eyes, "Check your file again Sgt. Fields, I'm no stranger to jail."

  "This isn't a few weeks in New Haven Miss Kerrigan," He hissed calling my bluff standing to tower over me. "We have two dead bodies, and a missing person. This is hard time were talking about."

  I needed to be out of this police station, but I had to trust what was left of my team to do whatever they needed. As tough as Alyssa was, being prisoner in Cuba damaged that part of her beyond repair. She barely made it through the few days to get Juan back, and she could have escaped from there. She couldn't make it behind the bars of a maximum security prison. Our only option was for me to sit, and let her put in the work to prove her innocence. I loved her enough to buy her that much time.

  I stood as well, never taking my eyes away from Sgt Fields. "Then you better take me to my cell, Sgt. Fields."
