Kierus P.O.V

I've been in this room with Khari for almost thirty minutes and he has done nothing but irritate the hell out of me and hasn't been answering none of my questions.

I sat down in the chair across from him and look into the file.

I looked through the photos and came across the photo of a lady.

I shook my head and couldn't believe it.

Mrs.Kasey, was in this photo hugging Khari but it wasn't any type of hug, it was like a motherly hug.

Mrs.Kasey knew my mom and I, she practically raised me when my mom went away from attempted murder.

So, that's like my other mother but I didn't know she had a son.

"Is this your mother?"I said, showing him the photo that I had in my hand, his facial expression went from smiling to deadly expression just like that.

That gave me the answer that it was his mother.

"Yes that's my mama, what do you want with her?"He answered.

"Nothing, nothing at all."I replied.

A tear slipped from my eye and I quickly wiped it away, I didn't know that Mrs.Kasey was his mother at all.

He looked at me weird for a second.

I cleared my throat. Back to doing my job.

"Anyways, where were you the night of when bunky got shot.",I said as I pulled out a photo of a big black man laying in the ocean half dead.

"Easy, I was at my crib."He replied.

"Not likely Mr.Taylor, seems like when you were so called home, we checked that night and your sister Kylie says you we're out with the boys."I said, making my connection.

Seems to me he told his sister he was out with his guys to hide the fact that he was doing something that he had no business doing.

Coincidence? I think not?

"See what you're failing to realize Agent Torres, When bunky got shot and killed it was ten o'clock at night, when I went out it was eleven and the body has to decompose for over twenty-four hours, so you need to get your facts straight before you start accusing."He replied winking at me.

He is so good.

But not good enough, I arch my right eyebrow at him.

"So, how did you know the time when Bunky got shot?"I asked, leaning forward.

"National news ma, when the news announce it, that  makes it public.

I nodded, I was agitated as hell and I want to be done with work. I put the photos and the evidence back into the manilla folder.

"No further more questions, since you've been in here for almost an hour now you can get your phone call."I said giving him a mean mug look.

I exited out the room and went towards my office, I put his case file onto my desk and plopped down in my chair.

I exhale through my nose and out through my mouth.

I was beyond frustrated, just a few minutes later my boss William knock on my door.

Fuck, here comes his douchebag ass ready to bring the I told you so train.

"Listen Torres, you've done a good job but you should've left it to Phil and I."He said as he sat in one of the two chairs across from my desk.

"Listen, you and Phil weren't getting anywhere he was sitting up here taking y'all for a joke, that man is smart he knew those questions you we're gonna ask him. He isn't DUMB."I said, yelling at him.

Honestly he was making me mad, cause he was making it seem like he was getting somewhere with him

"If you want to keep your job? Don't ever raise your voice at me."He replied.

I nodded and he got up and left out my office.

Great I need to learn how to control my temper especially when talking to white people that are ignorant.

And William is that person that's ignorant.

My phone ringed and I looked at the caller id, it was my momma calling.

I looked around to see if it was clear to answer.

They get real mad when you answer the phone and you're at the job.

"Yes mama."I answered, holding the phone up to my ear.

"Hey baby, Mrs.Kasey son got taken into custody today, do you happen to know about that?"My mom said sounding worried, my eyes got bucked wide.

"Who's her son?"I replied.

I furrowed my eyebrows together.

"Khari Taylor."She said, my heart instantly dropped to the bottom of my stomach, I knew something with this feeling was off.

"Momma, I will talk to you and Mrs.Kasey as soon as I get home."I said as I hung up the phone.

I processed this information in my brain and picked up my things and put them in my bag.

I grabbed my purse and keys and turned the light off in my office and head out to the main lobby of the police station.

"Torres."Phil said, stopping me from exiting the building.

I was already tired and I don't need anymore lectures from somebody else, and I sure as hell don't need anymore stress.

"Yes Phil."I replied back.

"They are letting go Mr.Taylor but since is your case you get to decides if he spends overnight in prison."

I thought about this long and hard, as much as I wanted to put Khari in bars I thought about Mrs.Kasey and what she did for me and how she raise me.

I can't take her son away.

"Tell Mr.Taylor that my car is in the front and tell him to get in I will escort him home."I said, as I walked away not giving him much to say. I cranked up my car and pulled around to the front of the entrance.

As I waited for him I went through some of my comments on instagram, a lot of people were calling me fine and pretty.

He came outside and into my car in the front seat and strapped his seatbelt in. I put my seat belt on and pulled off.

The drive was awkward and quiet but where I worked versus where I lived, this was a forty-five minute drive.

"So, this is weird, but can I ask you a question."He asked looking at me. I looked at him from the side of my eye.

He had tattoos around his neck, two gold grills in his bottom row of teeth, a creased slit in his right eyebrow.

Two nose piercings, two rose gold stud earrings in his ear, his waves were so deep and oceanic you can really drown if you wanted too.

His Caramel skin tone complemented his big juicy lips that were plump and pink.

He also got a rose tattoo on his hand and ugh let's not forget the hazel-green eyes.

This man was a whole sex symbol foreal.

"So, you're just gonna stand there gawking?"He says, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I chuckled at myself just realizing he used a line from fifty shades darker.

"What's your question Khari?"I replied, keeping my eyes on the road and not at him.

Literally he is very distracting in a way.

"So, how do you know my mother?"He says, leaning my seat back.

"Well, I know Mrs.Kasey cause she practically raise me."

"Raise you? How?"

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, one thing about me I hate opening up to people cause it always comes back to bite me.

"Let's just say, my mom did something and had to go away for a bit and Mrs.Kasey took me in."I replied.

"What did your mom do?"

"You ask a lot of questions don't you?"I said getting agitated.

"Coming from the sexy cop lady."He replied.

I hate when people called me a cop, I'm not a cop I'm an agent.

A cop and an Agent are two different things.

"It's my job, I have to."

"I guess, how old are you?"He said to me.

The questions were really starting to irritate the kid.

"21."

"Mmm, interesting."He said clenching his jaw and staring at me through the side of his face.

I made a left turn getting off of the highway and onto the street my mom's house was.

"What's interesting about it."I said curiously, I really wanted to know deadass.

"You're 21, a C.I.A agent, and the normal years to take to get to that point is six years."

"I went to the police academy, and went to many other places, so I was able to become what I wanted to become at a young age."I replied to his question.

I pulled into my mom's driveway and I seen Mrs.Kasey's 2014 all white Cadillac.

"Oh shit this Mrs.Torres' house."He said as he unbuckled  his seatbelt.

How does his know my mama?

"Yeah this is."

"Ooo, you must be her daughter, no disrespect but your moms fine as hell."He said licking his plump pink lips.

I got out the car and grabbed my keys and went towards the other side of the car.

I pushed him up against the car as he was getting out.

His eyes turned from a hazel to a chestnut brown, I must've struck a nerve, but I don't care.

"Listen don't you ever to speak of my mother that way you understand me."I said pressing up against him.

I'ma solid 5'6 but he is a solid 5'10.

His tall ass compared to my short ass but he doesn't scare me.

"I got it Torres."He said, in a huskily way.

His voice the way he talk and his dominance. Ooo man oh man.

"Good."

I walked away and knocked on my moms door, Mrs.Kasey came to the door.

"Hey Kierus Baby, it's so nice to see you."she said pulling me into a warm hug.

"You too Mrs.Kasey."I said to her hugging her back.

I stepped aside letting her hug her son, and I sat down on my momma's couch.

After they got done hugging Khari came and sat down next to me.

"Mrs.Kasey you know I love you but at the moment your son here is on a case down at the station, and right now I'm violating my license by doing this but i'ma try and get him off the case and proven not guilty."I said to her.

Khari's eyes light up and he looked at me and grabbed my hand. I don't know why but I had some tingles.

"Oh thank you Kierus."

"Kierus? Is that your name beauty."He said smiling showing one dimple in his cheek.

Here we go, now he knows my name. Thanks Mrs.Kasey.
