The ambulance had arrived quickly and departed even faster with Clint and Jane on board.
Right behind it there was a police car with two policewomen. Jane had to be questioned about the incident but since she did not want to leave Clint, the two policemen had called two of their colleagues to escort Jane.
Dario noticed that these two women were the same ones who had beaten Upchuck during the homecoming parade and a small smile appeared on his face for a moment.
But it lasted only for a moment. While Dan was playing the usual spiel, you have the right to remain silent etcetera, Nathan pushed Dario into the police car.
The ride to the police station was short and silent. When they arrived at their destination, they brought Dario to an interrogation room.
Nathan and Dan stayed with Dario and soon after came a third cop who, summarily informed of what happened, had the task of interrogating him.
"Name?" The cop asked.
"Dario Morgendorffer." he said, his voice more flat then ever before.
"Age?"
"17."
"Well. Dario, now tell me why you beat up that poor boy."
A bitter laugh came out from Dario's mouth.
"What's so funny?" The cop asked, with barely restrained anger.
"Clint is not a poor boy, he is an arrogant bastard."
"So you know him."
"He's my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Unfortunately."
"You have reduced your own brother like that?"
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Because he was having sex with my girlfriend, or rather my ex-girlfriend. He deserved it."
No one spoke for a few seconds and then Chris, the third cop, said, "Bring it in. We're done here."
