Chapter 66 Legal Maneuvers

• The dim lighting of the room and the walls of the small space were penetrating deep into my feelings, along with the feeling of a heartbeat in my ears. It felt like I had been handcuffed, and I hadn’t even realized until now that my wrists were painful where the cuffs had been only moments before. The occurrences of the last few hours were spinning in my head like a roulette wheel and I still could not grasp what was truly happening.
• Detective Reeves disappeared from here nearly an hour ago, leaving me with nothing more than a brief round of questioning, which just served to enfeeble me further. I tried to tell him about The Raven, about the USB drive, about the danger of the city in the near future. The detective sighed at every word, but I knew disbelief was rising from his face with each word I said. Without proof, I was an illusion of the guilty party’s hustle, making tales that no one wanted to listen to.
• The door of the interrogation room opened with a loud sound which snapped me out from my thoughts. I glanced up thinking that perhaps Reeves was coming back in for his second round of drinking. Rather, my heart violently soared to my throat once I registered to enter the room with my parents alongside a rather large woman dressed in a formal black and white business outfit.
