Controlling Them
Darius felt helpless. Kayla’s stubbornness and his lack of direct evidence tied his hands. Yet, he knew this guy was trouble, remembering him from station records. The man was known for causing danger, but the cops had never nailed him down.
Darius sensed he wielded control over Kayla’s family. He noticed their fearful glances through a window when he left their home. These folks counted on him. And he resolved not to fail them.
Sleepless Night
Darius couldn’t sleep, restless all night. At last, he rose and went to the police station, bustling with the night shift workers. He started up his computer and thoroughly examined the man’s file. Each time the cops nearly uncovered his actions and nearly nabbed him, he would somehow escape.
The scant details made Darius feel queasy. The thought of harmless women and kids near this man was unbearable. He was resolved to incarcerate him.
