Chapter 21.
Angelina’s pov
We reached the police station and Officer Payne brought me into a office that belonged to Captain Derick Presley. The Captain stood up from his chair when we entered the room.
He came towards me with his hand out to shake mine. “Nice you meet you Betty, my name is Captain Derick Presley, but you young lady can just call me Derick.” He said looking into my eyes with a smile.
And I could see Officer Payne was shocked at how he want me to address his captain. I took his hand and gave it a little shake before answering, “Hello Derick, nice to meet you” I gave him a small smile in returned.
“Please have a seat, and if you want anything to drink, Officer Payne here will get it for you.” He said nodding to a chair in front of his desk. I turned around looking at Officer Payne.
“A glass of water if that isn’t to much to ask for?” I asked with my polite smile still on my face. “Coming right up Betty” Officer Payne said with a smile while he headed out the door and closed it behind him.
I looked back at Derick and walked to sit down on the chair in front of his desk and Derick sat down on the chair behind the desk. Then his expression turned a bit sad before he started.
“Betty, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news” he started with sadness laced in his voice. I looked at him with a confused expression on my face.
“Early this morning a call came in that your house was on fire. The fire department was not able to extinguish the fire before it had burnt down. And two remains were found inside it and we have identified them as your parents Margarethe Anderson and Victor Anderson.” He got interrupted by a small knock on the door and Officer Payne came in with a glass of water to me.
“Here you go Betty” he said with a small smile on this face. I looked up to him still in shock after the news Derick have just given me. But I forced a small smil to Officer Payne “Thank you Officer Payne.” And I took the glass of water from him and took a sip.
Officer Payne was on the way out before Derick stopped him. “Officer Payne, hold on a second.” Officer Payne looked back at Derick. “Yes Captain?” he asked questionably.
“Betty we will need to take a dna test of you to see if you have any relative that can take you in. So Officer Payne will take you to a office not far from here and there we will have one of our lab technicians do the test, then Officer Payne will bring you back here to me” Derick said in a sweet and comfortable tone, I just nodded in shock still processing the loss of my abusive parent.
Am I sorry they are dead? No. Am I gonna cry for them? hell no! Am I gonna miss them? FUCK NO! Am I scared of where I gonna end up? HELL YEAH! What if I end up with people worse than those two. What if I end up have to live with ‘him
I won’t survive that. Why can’t I just stay with Kai and the rest? I can join the mafia work with my brothers

Chapter 21.
and sister. It’s less than a year till I turn eighteen, six months two weeks and 5 days to be exact but who’s counting.
I followed Officer Payne to the tech lab technician, they took the test by swabbing inside of my mouth,. then told Officer Payne I could go back to Derick it would take a while before the answer would be ready.
So Officer Payne followed me back to Dericks office, I sat down on the chair and decided to do some reading for upcoming school topic, I ended up reading for my history lesson.
Officer Payne left the room and closed the door so now I’m just sitting here reading. Derick is keeping a light conversation. “So Betty, how is school, any boys giving you any trouble?” He asked trying to lighten the mood.
I look up at him from my history book, “No sir, I have more problem with the ladies, the schools queen bee to be precise, but nothing I can’t handle.” I tried to keep my voice as steady as I could. I’m just so anxious about where I will end up.
“It’s Derick to you dear, and what is it this queen bee is doing exactly and what is her name?” he still kept a smile on his face but for some reason he also seemed a bit mad.
Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut, he is a grown adult and not interested in school drama. “I’m sorry Derick, and nothing to worry about, I don’t want to bother you with my problems.” I said as sweet as I could trying to cool down his anger.
I don’t want this grown ass man turn into Victor. “Betty it is no bother at all, lay it on me, tell me maybe I can help put thing into perspective and lighten the situation for you” He said leaning back in his chair.
I took a second to think about what he said, maybe he can help, maybe he can point out something I have done wrong so the situation between me and Scarlette. But at the same time, Scarlette is the principals daugther so I’m more sure it have something to do with Victor and not me.
But now that Victor is dead, I guess it don’t hurt to say anything about it. Not that I can get a beating from him beyond the grave.
