I'm Still Here: Sequel For 'Step Daddy No'

Chapter 55

Don't mind the mistakes, but don't be afraid to point them out.

I want to ask the detective if Craigy told him anything else, but I'm smarter than that. I don't want to give the detective any ideas. Especially that Craigy demanded to see me and me only.

If the detective has a good memory, he'll remember that Raymond was nowhere to be found, during the time of the John situation. I don't want him to link anything together. So I'm gonna stay quiet until necessary.

"Are you certain that you haven't met Craigy before?"

"Positive detective. What's the matter?"

"We have an old interrogation room here that we stopped using many years ago. He demanded to speak to you there and that was this morning. We didn't have the time to set up any device so we could secretly listen. I was thinking of attaching a device on you but he assured that he'll know and he won't say a word to you and that we'll never find out what we want". I raised an eyebrow.

"I can assure you detective that I've never met him before".

He nod.

"It's up to you to keep us updated". What could be so important for Craigy wanting to keep this so private? A part of me prefer it this way though. It's obvious that he know that my father was the one who killed his. I don't want him to say it for the detective to hear. That's gonna cause the file of Raymond to be digged up and I don't want that.

The detective might be on our side, but he isn't a dirty cop.

He gave me a suspicious look.

"What?" I asked faking a confused expression. I remember the place quite well. There's just minor changes. We already passed the interrogating room I was in. We also passed the wall phones then turned a corner. I don't have time to observe the criminals. All that's on my mind is what the hell Craigy have to say to me. My wife is at Leon. I'm sure she's safe there. There are plenty bodyguards protecting the place. Leon is at work at the moment. I'm sure he'll head straight home when he's done working.

"You will tell me everything Craigy told you right?" It all depends detective.

"Of course detective". I assured looking down at him. He's lost a few pounds but he's still fat and I'm taller than he is.

He smiled at me and I frown.

"What?"

"I remember when you were younger. You were smart, strong and determined. Nothing could ever stop you. You need to be careful Michael. You have a family to look out for". I nod smiling, feeling good within myself.

"I will detective".

He smile then opened the door for me. I stepped in, closing it immediately after.

I searched the dusty old room. My eyes stopped when I see the face of Craigy Sinclair. His hands are in cuffs on top of the table in front of him.

I can't tell what he's thinking because he isn't showing anything. He's wearing just a simple expression. His face is well groomed and he looks as young as I am even though I'm just three years older than he is. He's wearing a casual red t-shirt. His chest is broad as if he did a lot of working out.

Without a word I walked to the other side of the table. I turned the chair I'm supposed to sit on the other way, so the back of it is in front of me. I sit on it then rest my arms on top.

"Well..I'm here". I remarked. I keep my focus on him. Not smiling or frowning, waiting for his response.

"I think you know the reason your here. That is, if your smart as I think you are of course". My emotionless face forms into a frown. I swallowed the tip of anger I felt after remembering he almost killed my wife and babies.
