Love and Time

Prologue: Getting Caught


"So, your name is Matthew Williams, correct?"

"Yes."

"And you're from Canada, correct?"

"Yes."

Papers got stacked up and filed in front of a pale, skinny young man. A large dark-skinned man looked directly at Matthew's eyes with intent to squeeze whatever he could get out of him.

"Would you tell us a little about yourself?"

Matthew looked down and sighed. He knew this day would come. "My name is Matthew Williams. I'm 19 years old. I came from Montreal, Canada.. But I moved here in the U.S. after my mother died."

"Is there anything else? What about that tattoo on your neck?"

Matthew gritted his teeth and nodded softly before looking at the man. He knew the other man was curious about his black-inked dragon tattoo on the right side of his neck. "I'm a member of a local gang.. The Demon Spawn."

The black-skinned man nodded, taking note of the details. "Have you got any idea why you're here?"

Matthew nodded and replied, "The fight that got me here was a gang fight. We accidentally went inside their turf and they started a fight. Me and my friends tried to get away but we got cornered. They wanted to kill us. We couldn't let them so we fought back."

A sigh escaped the other man's mouth. "Well, you certainly fought back good. You got three of them in the hospital in critical conditions. What did you use to fend them off?"

"I used a knife, sir. I always have one in my pocket in case something like this happens," Matthew sighed and admitted.

The dark-skinned man stood up and sighed once more. "You know what this means, don't you?"

Matthew nodded. He knew it all too well. The man cuffed Matthew from behind and tsk-ed at him. "Alright, you're going to the Clark County Detention Center until your case is resolved."

Matthew looked around nervously. He was okay with the CCDC thing but.. Did he just hear case? He asked, "W-What do you mean?"

"They just filled a case against you. Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. You better get a good defense attorney 'cause from the looks of things.. You might be facing prison time, kid."

The words just sent Matthew's mind spiraling.

He's going to jail.

And worse..

He might go to prison.


Hey there! Thanks for reading this fic and hopefully you'll keep on reading! :D I'm not too familiar with prisons since I've never been to prison before but I'll do my best. National Geographic shows pertaining to jails and prisons are my main sources of facts as well as some online sources so if I get anything wrong, I'm really sorry about that. :( Also, if you've seen this in Quotev, please don't fret 'cause that's my Quotev account ('Arthur Kirkland' since I love him so much XD). I decided to put this here as well because of my sister's suggestion so yeah. :) I hope you enjoyed this prologue!
