Screw the System

"Take her inside for questioning," the older man ordered.
The younger officer who Hayley had been introduced to as Mark, nodded and gestured for her to follow him. Hayley gulped and followed. She tried to remain clam on the outside, but this was terrifying to her.

"You can take a seat," mark said, opening a thick grey door.
Hayley looked in and saw a pale room with a single window. In the middle was a metal table and faux brass chairs were around it. She sighed and obliged. He left for a moment, so she sat tapping her fingers impatiently.

They were gone for what seemed like hours and she was getting angry. How dare they wake her up at such an absurd time in the night, bring her here, and ignore her. She was getting anxious about the twins too. She just wanted them to be safe.

Finally, mark and the older man entered. They took a seat.
"Hello there dear," the older man smiled, "would you like anything to drink,"
Hayley looked away, "no,"
She didn't understand why the man who was being so mean to her earlier was now trying to be nice. It only made her even madder.

"Okay," his smiled faltered for a moment, "why don't you tell us about yourself,"

She stared at him for a moment. He was getting more impatient by the second and she could tell he by the steady increase of the folds between his fuzzy gray eyebrows. Mark watched cautiously. He felt bad for the young girl, assuming she was just an innocent girl who, Calum had knocked up and dragged into his world. He had part of it right at least.

"Cat got your tongue, yeah?" The older man asked
She looked down at his nametag: Officer Walt.
"Well Walt," she spat, "I think you would be a bit upset too if you were dragged to this dump at 3 in the fucking morning,"
His eyes widened for a moment before they narrowed accusingly, "look, I tried to be accommodating to you, but I see that is not going to work."

She snorted and looked out the window. She could see the city lights of the shy scrapers in Sydney from here. What a nice view.
"So let's keep it simple," Walt stared seriously, "how did you get involved with. Hood?"
She looked over to him, her eyebrow quirked a bit. Her lips were sealed once again. She wasn't planning on giving him an once of information if she could help it.

"Okay, well come back to that one," he folded his hands, "so can you tell me about what kind of person Calum is?"
She tilted her head to the side.
"Is he nice? Controlling? How does he treat you?"
"He treats me well," she answered, deciding that what she just said would hold no weight against either of them.

Mark frowned at this. His eyes were sad and sympathetic. She was angered by this, because she could tell just what was going on inside of his head.
"Stop looking at me like that," she growled
"Like what?" He asked
"Like I'm sort of mental patient," she shook her head, "Like I'm crazy for loving him,"
"You do know the things he's been accused of right?" Officer Walt asked
She took a breath, "I've heard, but they haven't been proven, and I believe that he is a good person,"
She couldn't recall a time where he killed anyone. All she knew about was the dealing, and he was doing that to support his family.

"That is all," he sighed.
They both left her alone in the cold room.
Outside Mark asked what the next move was.

"I want to have watson speak to her," Walt answered
"Watson?" Mark sighed, "sir I don't think that is a good idea,"
"This girl clearly needs a psychiatrist, she's completely brainwashed," he answered, "she thinks that minster actually cares for her. Lord knows he's not capable of feeling,"

"She seems upset," mark said thoughtfully, "bringing a psychiatrist in will only make her more stressed and angry. She won't say anything to us then,"
"Are you in charge here?" Walt snapped.
"No, sir," mark shrunk back nervously.
"Then do as I say and bring in Dr. watson,"

Mark nodded feverishly and scurried off to find the police psychiatrist.
"You seem a little frenzied Officer Wahlberg," Dr. Watson said.
Mark spun around to face the doctor.

"Oh doctor, I've been looking for you. We have a new person we would like you to speak with,"
"Okay," the rather young man nodded, "show me to the room,"
Mark gulped and lead the doctor to the interrogation room.
"She's inside," mark mumbled, "and look, she's young and she's really upset already, so please go easy on her,"

"I'm here to help," dr. Watson smiled.
Mark sighed in relief and finally backed off the door so the doctor could enter.
Hayley looked over and watched a man enter. He was wearing a simple sweater and pair of slacks. He didn't look like a police officer.

"Hello miss," he greeted, "what's your name?"
"Hayley," she mumbled, "who are you?"
"I'm Dr. watson, I'm here to talk to you," he explained.
She stared at him blankly.
"So dear, let's start from the beginning. Tell me about your family,"

~*~

"What the fuck have you done to my family?" Calum snarled.
"Your girlfriend has been taken into custody for questioning," the random officer replied through puffed breaths.

The officer groaned and grabbed his head which was bleeding profusely thanks to Calum. Calum growled, frustrated with the results he was getting, and turned go leave.
He heard a gun click into place from behind him and turned go see another officer standing to the side, gun raised.

"Put your hands up," he ordered.
Calum turned, planning to run, but there was another officer infront of him with a gun.

"Calum Hood you are under arrest for assaulting a police officer," he heard as a man grabbed his hands and slapped cuffed around his wrists," you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attourney, if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?"

He grunted a response.
"Watch your head,"
Calum could hear the smirk in the officers voice as he ducked into the cruiser.
