Rene narrowed her eyes as they neared the house and saw the squad car out front. "What's going on?" She asked. Logan pulled up behind the squad car and parked, "I don't know." They grabbed the bags and got out. Rene quickly walked to the house and opened the door.
Mrs. Watson and Mr. Watson looked up as Rene walked in. She was wearing long black pants with a blue plaid corset tanktop. Her hair was no longer brown, it was black and it was nice and slightly curled at the tips like always. "Rene?" Her mom greeted, only with a little confusion. "What's going on, why are the police here?" She asked, frowning. Logan walked in behind her and put the bags down before he shut the door. He noticed a shimmering light from underneath the kitchen table, her dad was handcuffed. Rene followed Logan's stare and narrowed her eyes, "Why is dad handcuffed? Whats going on?" Mrs. Watson cleared her throat, "You father and Danny got into a confrontation and he's pressing charges... but he decided to press charges against Logan as well." "What!" Rene gasped, eyes filling with tears, "No! They didn't do anything wrong!" "Your father hit a minor Rene, that's very wrong.." Her lawyer explained, "And Logan didn't need to go to the extreme he went to with Danny." "He was protecting me!" Rene yelled, he meaning Logan. Logan grabbed her arm, "Hey, it's okay.." "No," She cried, "It's not.. you can't take them from me!" The officer started to approach Logan and Rene pushed him, "Dont touch him!" Mrs. Watson gasped, "Rene!" The officer waved at the other officer, "It's okay." Rene backed Logan up towards the door, "You can't take them..." "What other choice do we have?" Mr. Watson asked, frowning. "Let me talk to him..." Rene pleaded, "I'll get him to drop the charges..." "That'll look really well for your case." The lawyer muttered. Logan turned Rene to face him,"You will not talk to Danny... will not." Rene's eyeliner ran down her cheeks and her lip trembled, "I won't let them take you away...." She went in for a kiss, slid her hand around his side and took his keys from his pocket. "Rene, no!" Logan exclaimed as she threw open the front door and took off running for his car. Thunder rumbled and it started to rain. He ran up to his car and knocked on the window, "Rene , get out of the car.. please." She blew him a kiss, started the ingition, reversed, then sped away. Logan watched as she dissapeared around the corner. He looked back at the house and bowed his head.
Rene's vision was blurred with tears as she sped to the police station. She swerved through traffic and luckily went through a red light and came out alive. A horn blew as a car almost hit her, she slammed on the brakes, did a 360' , managed to straighten the car again and continued driving.
"Can we wait till the girl gets back? Atleast then she can say goodbye to her father and boyfriend?" The lawyer asked. The officers nodded, "We'll wait." Logan sat down and the officer handcuffed him too.
"Ma'm can I help you?" A officer at the front desk asked as Rene came in. She sighed, "I need to speak with a man in custody.. Danny... it's important please." The officer crossed his arms, "What's your reason?" "I still haven't filed a statement.. I think he'll be very interested in what I have to say." Rene explained. "Rene Watson?" A tall man asked, walking over. "Who's asking?" She stepped back. "Easy, I'm just Danny's lawyer, you said you want to speak to Danny about the case?" The man asked. Rene slightly nodded, "In private." He looked at her funny then looked at the officer, "Bring him to the interogation room please." The officer nodded and walked away. Rene nodded and followed the lawyer to the interogation room.
Logan bounced his leg nervously, wondering where Rene went, hoping she didn't go to Danny. Mrs. Watson wiped tears off her cheek as she sat on the stairs. Mr. Watson looked around the room.
Danny entered the room, hands handcuffed behind him and he sat across the table. "Wow... makeover from hell?" He taunted. "Fuck you." She bitterly snapped. "What do you want? I didn't expect you of all people to come see me." Danny muttered. Rene shrugged, "You're lucky if any girl will ever come to see you after what you did." He rolled his eyes, "Get to the point." "You don't have any grounds to press charges against Logan or my father... so drop them." She demanded. "Bullshit," He snapped, " Your father physically assaulted me and defense or not so did Logan." Rene knew he was right but she had to convince him otherwise. "What would you have done?" She asked, "Would you have just sat by as your mother was raped...? Would you have just looked the perp in the eyes and tell me you wouldn't want to tear him apart?" Danny shrugged, "Your reverse psychology isn't going to work on me Rene..." "Then what will?" Rene asked. He sat back and smiled, "One.Last.Kiss."
