Chapter 118- Chicago Tension
ARIANA'S POV
We were in the police station as we waited for them to bring the woman who started everything.
Stealing the Emerald eye put me in a position that I've never been before, she almost drove me crazy and I swear if the police can't make her talk, I'll do so myself.
The police finally opened the door as they brought a woman and the first place my eyes went to was the tattoo on her missing thumb. It was indeed her.
She was about five feet tall with short bob hair and an oval face. She had sharp black eyes that could stare deep into your soul like she was trying to do now but she didn't know the woman sitting in front of her couldn't be intimidated.
“ Oh, I finally meet the princess," she said, her English not so clear, so looked Asian, I'm guessing from China.
“ What's your deal with me?" I asked her and she just scoffed before she pulled the chair in front of me and sat down.
“ Nothing really, you just have enough money and I wanted to share," she said with a shrug and I looked at her with a glare,
“That's exactly what she has been telling us, she thinks we're here to play, when ever we ask her why she went to steal a certain property, she'd say they have enough money and she wanted to share,” the police officer in the room with us said,
" Because that's exactly what the case is,” she said as she turned to him with a smile,
" Tell me everything about her,” I said to the officer,
" Oh I can do the introduction myself,” she said, this woman didn't know how she was pissing me off, it was taking everything in me not to jump over the table and drag her fucking head.
I looked at her with eyes sharp enough to shoot daggers and she raised her hands up in surrender.
" I was just trying to help,” she said,
" The only fucking help you can give is to tell us who sent you to steal my jewelry and who you gave it to, is that so hard for you to do?” I asked and she looked at me with a ‘duh’ face.
I was about to jump over the table but Hardin's hand on my thigh stopped me.
“ That's exactly what she wants you to do, calm down," he whispered and I took deep breaths and regained my calm.
“ Her name is Yinxue, twenty eight years old from China…” I was right all along,
" She has been accused of multiple charges, theft, impersonation, attempted murder, perjury, fraud and to name a few, she was caught here in Chicago on her way to steal, and guess what it was she wanted to steal?” the officer asked and I shook my head,
" She wanted to steal a government document containing important information but she was caught,”
“ Don't I deserve to be given an award, I have a lot of accomplishments," she had the audacity to smirk,
" Well, I hope you have fun in prison,” I said,
" And I hope you have fun looking for something you'll never find,” that did it for me, I couldn't control myself as I reached for her over the table but Hardin held my waist and pulled me back,
" You bitch! You think this is funny?! I seat here and talk about something important and you fucking sit in front of me and spill fucking bullshit from your mouth, are you insane?!” I asked as I looked at her in anger but she just kept her handcuffed hands on the table as she looked me square in the eyes,
The officer knew that soon enough this room was going to turn into a battlefield so he asked for someone to come take her away.
And she still had that nerve to wave at me.
Bitch!
“ Miss Miller you have to calm down," the officer said,
“ Calm down? I flew all the way from Las Vegas and came here expecting to get good news and it seems that I just came here to see the annoying face of that woman, nothing, there's no news of where the Emerald eye is and that makes me mad and you know what's even annoying? I'm right in front of the criminal and I have no fucking information, I need to breathe,” I said as I walked out of the investigation room.
I closed my eyes as I tried to calm my beating heart, I felt like a raging volcano, at any moment I was going to blow up.
We followed the officer to his office and then he walked to his chair and sat down as he offered us to sit down
“ So what's the way forward because it looks like that woman is messing with us?" Hardin asked,
" She looks happy to be in prison like she has nothing to lose,” I said,
This was giving me a headache.
“ We're going to keep questioning her till we find something," the officer said,
I wanted to scream to his face that what has happened all this while, what have they been doing? But I controlled myself.
“ So can't she be transferred to the prison in Las Vegas?" I asked,
“ You see, she has a case here and we can't send her anywhere until she give us the information we're looking for,” he explained,
“ Alright, thank you officer,” I said, as I leaned on the chair feeling already exhausted.
“ Thank you officer, just let us know if there is any other information, anything would help," Hardin said,
“ They're just playing with us, and I swear it's pissing me off,” I said,
" Thank you officer, we'll take our leave,” Hardin said,
We walked out of the police station as I got into the car while Hardin got in after me,
I couldn't believe this, I just wasted my time to come here, it's been one story after another and just an indication that;
We were going nowhere.
