"don't you kids know that this isn't a place for you guys to come and play around. if this whole thing is a prank, I swear, I'm going to arrest the both of you."
officer Jefferson said. he was having a bad day and didn't had time for two teenagers who claim that one of their dad was a killer.
Theodore wanted to complain but he restraint himself, it was the man job to listen to them, he wasn't supposed to bring his personal feelings to work.
"what is going on here." one the officer, mike. at the station ask.
"we are here to make report of 3 murder case." Theo said as he handed out the evidence.
"it my Dad, Richard Wyatt." Layla spoke out.
mike thought to himself as he repeat the name out loud. "wait are you talking about Mr Richard Wyatt the owner of that famous restaurant, (&&&)?"
"yes he's my Dad. you need to arrest him, you can't let him get away with all he had done."
"is that not the restaurant you have been investigating lately because you thought the event surrounding it was fishy?" officer Jefferson ask Mike.
"yeah the incident that happened about his wife and then the strange attack of his second wife, his son is also missing. the whole thing feels weird."
Theo hold Layla hand in reassurance that she wasn't alone, he was with her.
Jefferson went through the evidence that Layla and Theo brought. he asked them for their names and question them on how they got the evidence.
"go get the arrest warrant for this man, mike.
"yes sir."
*******
Layla was sure that her father already suspect that she knew something. she followed the police to her house and watch them as they approach her dad with a arrest warrant, Theo was by her side.
"it's okay." Theo said to her.
the looks of betrayed and hatred she got from her Dad who was still recovering from his drunk state hurt her heart. but regardless of her love for him, this was what was right for everyone. her father was too evil, he took too much away from her. Layla wanted him to pay for everything he did to her and Liam.
"Layla you bitch!" her Dad struggle against the strong hold of the police.
the commotion around the house made the neighbors to gather, mrs stella couldn't believe what Mr Richard was being accuse of. to her Mr Richard was like an angel, he couldn't even hurt a fly.
"is this how you are supposed to treat your father? you know Liam had always hated me you couldn't even ask me if all his accusations against me was true."
Theodore wish he could punch Richard hard in the face. how could he says horrible things about Liam like that and think he could get away with it. all he wanted was to contaminate Layla mind.
"we have given the police evidence against you, isn't it funny that the same Liam who you thought you have gotten rid of was the same person who still brought you down after his death." Theo said to Richard who glower at him.
"you can't believe him Layla, you can't believe any of them, I have been set up. this is what they want. Theodore is a bad influence for you, he's_"
"just stop it!" Layla shouted. "please take this man away, I don't want to ever see him again."
"check the house." Jefferson order to the officer around him.
he had prepared both warrant, but with the investigation officer mike had been doing, he doubt he he was going to find anything. officer mike had filled him in on his investigation. it turns out that Richard past life was looking too good to be true.
somehow he had erase a lot about himself, but no matter what, Jefferson was going to make sure he find it.
Richard was drag out the house and into the police car. stubbornly, he stuck his head out through the window and shouted at Layla, "I have always hated the way you act so much like your mother. you're not my daughter, I refuse to accept the fact that I have a daughter like you who is nothing like me, hope you are happy now that you have that you have gotten your father arrested."
"someone please shut that man mouth." officer Jefferson said.
he knew his type, who wanted nothing but to make those that got them into jail feel like they can't live without them. officer Jefferson walk to Layla and Theo.
they were both standing together watching Richard in the car.
"don't worry so much and him." Jefferson knew that he wasn't worth it. "do you need any help with a lawyer or something?" he asked, not sure about what to say to Layla.
Layla shook her head.
"don't worry officer, I will take care of her." Theo said.
the police drove away. Layla stood in front of her house.
mrs stella and her other neighbors offer her a place to stay incase if she was afraid to stay alone.
Layla rejected all of their offer and pretended like she was okay. Layla told herself that she was okay, she imagine Liam being infront of her, telling her that everything was okay now, she was going to be fine. she thought to herself that Liam would finally be happy because Layla had not just help him but also their mom to get justice for all Richard had done to them.
"come on," Theo said. "let's go."
"no." Layla reply, "I don't want to go into that house ever again. I don't want to be in this neighborhood."
"I know. I wasn't talking about your place when I said, let's go, I was talking about mine."
Theodore took her to his house. as usual his parents wasn't home. he was going to call his dad later tonight for Layla sake, and ask if she could continue to stay with them. but before any of that he needed to go back to Layla house and bring in some of her clothes and belongings over to his house.
