Detective Mike Lowry sighed as he sat at his with his partner, Marcus Burnett, waiting for his witness to be released. His new task was witness protection, tasked with guarding the life of a young teenage girl who had seen a double homicide committed by some very dangerous men.
“I cannot believe we got stuck babysitting some sixteen year old fucking kid. This is fuckin’ stupid.” Marcus complained, fiddling with the box of donuts they had brought. “Shut your dumbass up. And quit eating them damn donuts, Theresa will have your ass!” Mike snapped, rubbing his neck.
Mike stood quickly as Chief Howard walked in, clearing his throat. This had been a tough case, as the victims had been brutally murdered in cold blood by a sick freak, and a kid was the only witness.
“Here is her file, she’s standing right outside. I want this kid treated like a goddamn family heirloom, you hear me you two?” The chief threatened after giving Marcus the file before turning, motioning for someone to step into the room.
