Here is the long awaited update! Please enjoy and review for me!
Benny walked into the police station alongside Ethan and Sarah as they made their way up to the front desk.
"Hello, how may I help you?" a kind and elderly woman asked, adjusting her glasses as Benny looked through the glass window at her.
"Yes, I'm Benjamin Weir. Me and Ethan Morgan were called down to identify a suspect who shot me a few days ago," Benny said nervously, Ethan grasping his hand in support as Benny remembered the horrific event.
"Oh yes, we've been awaiting you Mr. Weir. Please walk through that door over there and I'll meet you on the other end." the woman said as she left the window as Benny walked with Ethan to the designated door. He opened it, careful not to strain his shoulder as he pushed it open and met the elderly woman on the other side. She gave him a serious look as she led them down a hallway, officers and detectives working at their stations and filing paperwork before she led them both into a dark room with a see through mirror.
"Please take a seat in here gentlemen. I'll have the officer in charge of this case head your way now," the woman said before closing the door. Benny stared through the dark glass at a white wall with height measurements behind it.
"Hello boys, I'm detective Marshall." came a female voice as Benny looked over at the opening door to see a young detective walking in.
"Nice to meet you," they both said as they sat together and watched the woman lay out some paperwork onto a nearby desk as she skimmed through it.
"So boys, the report here says that a man in what appears to be his late fifties from the description you gave us tried to mug you, but when you retaliated he shot Mr. Weir here through the abdomen at a angle causing the bullet to embed itself in your upper shoulder. Bystanders said he took off running down Times Square afterward?" the woman asked as she turned around and leaned against the table, studying the two.
"Yes ma'am. Are we here to identify the man who shot my Life Mate?" Ethan asked a bit sternly as he held onto Benny's hand.
"Yes sir, I just needed to clarify the report I made. Listen guys, I know how hard this must be. I lost my Life Mate to a shooting many years ago. I know what your going through, and I promise that we will try our hardest to bring this man to justice and put behind bars," the woman said, showing her arm where a now black time clock rested. Benny nodded his head before she pressed a button, watching as men walked into the adjoining room through a door and lined up together. He took in a short breath when he saw him, the mans almost black eyes staring off into space as he held a sign up to his chest.
"None of these men can see you through this glass. So don't worry, you two are perfectly safe in here," the woman said as Benny stood up and walked to the glass. He watched the man, studying his movements as his heart went cold. He could remember how cold he felt laying there on the concrete, his life blood bleeding out onto the concrete as he pressed a hand into Ethan's. He remembered thinking it was over for him, that his life with his Life Mate wouldn't go on after that night. He was snapped back to reality when Ethan came up behind him and pressed a tender loving hand on his back as he rubbed it lovingly.
"That's him," was all Benny could say as Ethan agreed before he turned his face away, tears tugging at the edge of his eyes.
"Are you sure gentlemen? Once I give the word, he's being taken away," the woman asked, grabbing her walkie-talkie.
"Yes...I could never forget that face, or those eyes. He stared right into my eyes when he pulled that trigger, there wasn't any regret or anything...just evil," Benny said, listening as the woman radioed to another cop. He turned around as a cop walked into the adjoining room and took the man by the hands and tried handcuffing him. Suddenly the man broke free as he ran forward and smashed into the glass, only creating a dull thud as he screamed into the glass. Benny jumped back as Detective Marshall drew her gun and pointed it at the window. He watched as a series of cops ran into the room and tackled the man down, his screams and threats echoing into the room as they cuffed him and dragged him out of the room.
"I thought you said he couldn't see us?" Ethan said, holding onto Benny's trembling body as he sat him down and held onto him.
"He can't, but it's common knowledge that behind the mirror is the person putting him away," she said, holstering her gun once more. "I'll need you two to stay behind and sign some paperwork and verify that it was indeed you who picked the suspect out today," Marshall said, nodding at the two boys before guiding them out of the room. Benny could still feel his body shaking, as he walked out into the office part of the building and followed the detective down the hallway with Ethan by his side.
So I hope you all enjoyed this new chapter!
