Chapter 292
“Madeline!” It was Yerick, and the grin he flashed me was nothing short of feral delight.
My lips curled at the sight of him. It truly was my lucky day. “What? Did you get in trouble or something?”
It was unlikely Yerick had come to the police station for the fun of it.
He nodded and said without shame, “I got caught driving without a license.”
This reminded me of the birthday party he had invited me to. He was still underage. I drawled
sarcastically, “Congratulations.”
“Thank you,” Yerick replied graciously, unaffected by my withering tone.
Unlike him, I had bigger things to worry about. Dropping the conversation altogether, I cut a look at the administrator in the midst of retrieving the case file for me.
The administrator stared unblinkingly at the computer screen, still searching. I wondered if it took so long because my father’s case had happened over a decade ago.
Yerick leaned close to me and asked curiously, “What are you doing here, Madeline?”
*Just running an errand.” I humored him.
He took it as an opportunity to play hero. “What kind of errand? Is it a tough one? If it is, I could hook you up with someone and have them help you.”
1 scoffed. “You’re better off looking for someone to ball you out.”
He was fortunate he hadn’t injured anyone while driving without a license. If he had, I reckoned he would be behind bars for a while..
Yerick smiled smugly. “I’m already in the clear.”
I suddenly thought about Chris‘ appearance earlier. From the looks of it, he had come to save Yerick.
The next second, I felt a nudge against my shoulder as Yerick inched closer. He said in a low voice, “My brother–in–law and the captain are pretty close.”
I was right, but hearing him refer to Chris as his “brother–in–law‘ irked me to no end. I knew he said it on purpose, too.
“It’s fine. We’re pretty tight. I’m sure I could get him to pull some strings. I’ll go and talk to him right now,” Yerick offered, my affronted reaction only spurring him on.
