Jasmine's Day Off-Chapter 58

Neurologist: *groans and wakes up* "Ugh, where the hell am I and why is it so dark in here?" *hears something rattling, then feels around her hands* "I'm handcuff to a table, really? This better not be an interrogation room." *tries to move her foot up, but it is caught by something; irritated* "On my feet too? Whose stupid idea was this?"

Female cop: *turns on a flashlight in the room* "Mine. I'm here to ask you a few questions."

Neurologist: *struggles to break free* "Why the hell won't these things break already?"

Female cop: "Heh, those are specially designed chains made to hold psychos that enhance their strength with drugs. You couldn't break those handcuffs if you chained them to 2 trucks and sent them full speed in opposite directions… the chains would be more likely to break." *smirk* "So good luck breaking free cutie. Let me know when you're ready to talk." *starts walking away*

Neurologist: "… W-wait… if I talk and I'm not saying I will, but if I do can I go see my daughter?"

Female cop: *looks back*

Neurologist: "Please?"

Female cop: "Okay, just tell me what happened back there with all the bodies on the floor." *walks towards the neurologist and sits down* "Be honest with me and I'll take you to go see your daughter."

Neurologist: "Not much to say. I ran up a few flights of stairs to get an aerial view because I heard my daughter, but couldn't tell where her voice was coming from… I… I heard her scream." *slams fist down on the table* "Damn it! I should have been there for her! I-"

Female cop: "Whoa, calm down." *rubs her shoulders and gives her a massage; soothingly* "Just tell me what happened and I promise everything will be fine."

Neurologist: "… By the time I made it to the top of the roof and reached the ledge… the scene that I saw didn't fill me with hope that everything would be fine… my daughter was lying on the floor in pain… that idiot probably put her in danger in the first place… he did look rather beat up though so I think he learned his lesson by now."

Female cop: "Okay you can quit talking about your boyfriend and get back to the story, cutie."

Neurologist: *turns her head back and glares at her with an angry expression* "After you take me to go see my daughter, you better drive away like your life depends on it."

Female cop: "Why?"

Neurologist: "Pass me that flashlight."

Female cop: "Okay?" *passes her the flashlight*

Neurologist: "This is going to be your head." *the neurologist crushes the flashlight in her hands and the room goes dark* "Get the picture?"

Female cop: *backs away wide-eyed* "Don't mention the b-word again and drive like my life depends on it… got it." *taps on glass* "Can I have another flashlight please? Remember the batteries this time."

Male cop: "Got it… umm, give me a moment." *puts batteries in the flashlight and hands the flashlight to the female cop* "Here you go!"

Female cop: *turns on the flashlight* "Carry on. You were at the part where he looked beat up."

Neurologist: "Yeah, I think it had something to do with all the morons that were dumb enough to surround him. The 37th one was the only one left standing and victory would have been a breeze… except that creep had a gun and was pointing it at my daughter. I climbed over the dumb railing on the roof."

Female cop: "You mean the one that was designed to prevent jumpers from going over it? How the fuck did you manage that? The horizontal bar is higher than 3 of you combined and that railing was made to prevent people from climbing over it. This sounds like bullshit." *crosses her arms over her chest and leans back into her chair*

Neurologist: "I could demonstrate what a mother will do to protect her daughter just let me loose and I'll-"

Female cop: *sits up and starts waving her hands from left to right nervously* "Umm, that's not necessary… I believe you okay?"

Neurologist: "Why so scared?"

Female cop: "I don't want to be transferred to again. This precinct is filled with people I could date as opposed to the last one which was filled with jerks."

Neurologist: "You are not supposed to date in the workplace."

Female cop: "Implying that's going to stop me." *smirks*

Neurologist: "I think we finally agree on something."

Female cop: "Here's something we agree on: Laws are meant to be followed, but rules were made to be broken."

Neurologist: "Laws are like bones. They can be broken, mended, and even bent a little, but they will always be around… they're not perfect, either."

Female cop: *takes out a slip of paper out of her pants* "If you're feeling lonely one day, call me and we'll spend the day doing whatever you like, 'kay?"

Neurologist: "I'd be more moved by your words if I wasn't being treated like a prisoner."

Female cop: "It won't be long, just tell me what happened next."

Neurologist: "I jumped down and landed on the creep with the gun, he fired off a shot and the other idiot fainted. I walked to my panicking daughter who soon coughed out blood and passed out."
