Chapter 10
John had just gotten back home. He thought everybody was asleep.
"Your late" Adam said. He thought wrong
"I'm not a kid" he said as he tried to get passed him but he grabbed his arm
"well I'm telling you your late"
"And I told you that if you touch me I would punch you in your face"
"Look kid"
"No you look you think you can just walk into are lives replace our dad-"
"I'm not trying to replace your dad"
"Look around you Adam"
"I'm not trying to replace your dad ok" he said a bit louder "You don't get it do you"
"Not really. I'm still confused on why he picked you to be his assistant and I'm regretting it"
"Look I love your mom ok. If you think I'm replacing your dad then your wrong. I'm just trying to make her happy and that's all" they only stood eye to eye until John moved past him heading for the stairs
"You should get up early. I make a mean scrambled eggs"
Noon
Mickie had just got the lead on the case she was working on she just need to ask the another question from the witness
"Ms. Thomas are you in there" Mickie could hear a gruff noise behind the door "Ms. Thomas are you alright" the woman opened the door a little just so she could peak out
"Hi detective I'm fine just have Danny here"
"Danny" Mickie said slowly
"Yes my nephew"
"Oh we'll I hope Danny won't come in between us cause I need to ask you a few more questions"
"I'm sorry detective but can this be another time"
"Ok" Mickie only walked away from the door she didn't make a sudden move she was hopping for the person to open the door and yet they did. Mickie punched him back into the room. Mickie speared the man knocking him over. Noticing her opertunity she pressed the man down in his front she tried to reach for her cuffs but found that they were missing giving the perp enough time to scramble from beneath her. He then lifted up swiftly sending her flying off his back. The man towered over her. It only reminded her of the movie she saw last night. His foot was in full swing but she grabbed it just before it hit her. She twisted it causing the man to scream out in agony. He soon fell to the floor grasping his foot. Mickie was panting as she stood up. She could see her cuffs on the floor.
"You have the right to remain silent"
"Kristen help" the man said as Mickie lifted him up
"You brought this on yourself" she said watching Mickie taking him out of the room
Station
"Why" Mickie was standing in her bosses office
"Cause when was the last time you had a vacation" she was about to answer but soon found no answer "See"
"I'm fine chief"
"You say that but your not"
"Ok look chief let me finish the Calaway case"
"That's it then you take the month"
"The month" he only nodded off "Fine"
"Thats all Mickie you can return to your post"

"Hey buddy" one of the man said pushing him into the wall
"You know you kinda caught me at a bad time" johnn said pulling out his earphones
"We won't take up all your time" the man said causing John to snicker "Whats so funny"
"Your voice man"
"I assure you-"
"No stop man yor killing me" John was leaning on the wall laughing at the man "Ok I'm sorry go on"
"Thank you" John couldn't contain it as he soon busted out laughing "Stop it"
"I'm sorry. Ok go ahead" John said with pure seriousness
"I'm Paul bearer or as some people call me the father of destruction"
"Nice name"
"I have a proclamation for you"
"And that would be" John was then hand a duffle bag "what's this"
"Five grand. We give you this in a token of are gratitude"
"So you basically don't want me to testify is what your sayin"
