Wrong Kind of Love (12 page)

“
Yeah baby it is them fuckers cant hurt you anymore. No one will ever again.”

The police were calling people into the principle
’
s office one by one, every one who was at the party.

“
Lucas, you been called in yet?” Flick asked. Lucas shook his head “I hate fucking pigs interrogated me somet chronic asking me shit like if I had it in for them n if I wanted to kill them. I was like me are you fucking crazy I might be white trash but I
‘
m just one person and I aint no fucking wonder woman.”

“
It
‘
s their job to interrogate you Flick.”

“
I know. So I spoke to Kesha yesterday she told me some pretty interesting goss.”

“
I
‘
m sure she did” Lucas rolled his eyes.

“
Ah ha she tells me your tapping that Amelia lass. You could share stud” she laughed “But no seriously are you guys like serious n shit?”

“
Yeah I guess you could say that.”

“
Well this is a sad day the great Lucas Valentino is off the market many a girls heart will break” Ty and Trey walked over to them.

“
What you two talking about?” Ty asked.

“
Oh nothing just about Lucas and that Amelia lass, there like serious and shit”

“
No fucking way. Since when?”

“
Since I dunno, since when stud?”

“
A few months” Lucas replied.

“
A few months why aint you told me before. She any good you tapped her ass yet?” Trey laughed impersonating spanking Ty
’
s ass.

“
And you wonder why I ant told you!”

“
That would explain why Kesha
‘
s all pissed then” Trey piped in.

“
Hey if your with Amelia that makes Kesha free, you mind if I try it on with her?” Ty asked.

“
Sure, go ahead” Lucas replied.

“
As if you stand a chance Ty” Trey smirked. Kesha and Dena joined the group, Kesha avoiding Lucas she stood as far from him as she could without isolating herself from the group.

“
Where
‘
s Ben” Dena asked.

“
He
‘
s in the principle
’
s office with that Inspector Detective or is it Detective Inspector fuck knows he
’
s with that pig Andy Cole.” Flick replied. The group had all been in now except Lucas, he watching the halls to see if he could catch a glimpse of Amelia, she was walking towards her locker as she put her books in a kid tapped her on the shoulder and passed her a note, she read it and slammed her locker shut. Lucas walked over to her.

“
Hey what
‘
s a matter?” he asked.

“
I gotta go to the principles next”

“
Why you weren
’
t even at the party”

“
I know, I guess its coz of the past you know” her eyes started to tear up, Lucas took her in his arms and kissed the top of her head.

“
You
‘
ll be ok. Don
’
t worry bout it” he kissed Amelia on the lips and she went to face the police and principle, she was dreading this.

“
Come in” the principle insisted, Amelia cautiously entered the room.

“
Amelia this is Detective Inspector Andy Cole” the principle pointed out a man she recognised from the news regarding the two men who were shot and whom one had his head cut off.

“
Hi” Amelia took her seat.

“
Hi Amelia, lets jump straight in I have a long day ahead and I
’
m not even through half of the pupils here yet. Now we know you was not at the party Saturday night can you tell me what you were doing please.”

“
I was at my boyfriends all night, he went to the party, I stayed and crashed at his.”

“
And he would be?”

“
Lucas Valentino Sir” the inspectors eyes sparked open.

“
I see. Now I know that you have had involvement with the two that were murdered. Can you tell me why this was?”

“
I used to go out with Jonathan Bury.”

“
And Daniel King?”

“
He was my ex
‘
s best friend.”

“
Is it true that he raped you?”

“
What has that got to do with anything?”

“
I
‘
m trying to establish a motive, please answer the question.”

“
Yeah he raped me.” a tear ran down Amelia
’
s face the principle passed her a tissue.

“
I
‘
m sorry I understand that this is hard on you”

“
I
‘
m sure you do.”

“
Why don
’
t you tell me about you family Amelia.”

“
My mums dead and I never met my dad.”

“
I thought your dad was Vinnie O
‘
Doud?”

“
He
‘
s my stepfather”

“
Ok so why don
’
t you tell me a little about him then and your Uncle Jimmy O
‘
Doud” Amelia
’
s face was shocked “Yes we know your related to them.”

“
Just because I live with them it doesn
’
t mean I
‘
m related to them sir, I don
’
t spend much time with them.”

“
Ok. Tell me about their work what do they do?”

“
You will know that better then me, like I say I don
’
t spend much time with them and I most certainly don
’
t have anything to do with their business Sir, I live their yeah but at a different side of the estate. I don
’
t bother them so they leave me be.”

“
Did you know that Bury and King worked for your stepfather and uncle?”

“
No” she genuinely did not know this, she felt sick, had they been in the house her bedroom, she felt faint next thing she knew everything went black.

“
Amelia, Amelia can you hear me are you ok?” she could make out the faint voice of the principle “Amelia, honey can you hear me?” she came round, her vision blurry, the principle helped her to sit back on the chair.

“
I
‘
m sorry Amelia I guess you didn
’
t know that, that will be all thank you. Your not a suspect so don
’
t worry ok, go get a drink and have a sit down.” the inspector instructed. Amelia got to her feet and staggered to the door she turned around and looked at the inspector,

“
Did they come to my house, were they in my house?” she looked scared.

“
I
‘
m sorry I don
’
t know.” he smiled.

Amelia closed the principles door behind her, she slumped down onto the seats outside, Lucas had been waiting for her.

“
Jesus are you ok? You look like you
’
ve seen a ghost” Amelia did not reply. “Amelia baby are you ok” he place his hand on her knee but she shuddered under his touch, looked up and burst into tears, “Oh baby its ok, its over with now” he held her in his arms, her tears dampening his sleeve. The principles door opened and out walked the principle, he looked over at Lucas and Amelia

“
Lucas its your turn, is she ok?”

“
No thanks to you guys. Amelia I gotta go in now, I
‘
ll catch up with you in a bit. I love you” she nodded at him, wiping the tears from her eyes.

“
Take a seat, what
’
s your name son?”

“
Lucas Valentino” he glared at the inspector.

“
Valentino ay that wouldn
’
t happen to be the mafia Valentino would it from the east coast” the principle coughed he did not know this.

“
Yeah in the flesh why you gonna hold that against me?”

“
Should I?”

“
I did fuck all to them dick heads.”

“
I never even asked.”

“
That
’
s why I
‘
m in here that
’
s why you
’
ve been hauling our ass
‘
s in here all day.”

“
I met your girl Amelia right. She seems nice”

“
What
’
s your point” he snarled.

“
Lucas I mean no disrespect, it was a compliment. So are you two serious then.”

“
Pretty much”

“
Pretty much is that a yes or a no?”

“
Yeah were serious.”

“
So did she tell you about her past with Bury and King?”

“
Yeah”

“
And how did that make you feel?”

“
How do you think it made me feel?
”

“
Well if I were you I
‘
d of been pissed, some cheap ass thugs hurting the girl I cared for.”

“
Course I was pissed, she was a wreck about it.”

“
How pissed were you?”

“
I was majorly fucked off and yeah I wanted to fucking kill them but it don
’
t mean I did”

“
Did you?”

“
No.”

“
When did Amelia tell you?”

“
A few months ago, so don
’
t you think if I
‘
d of wanted to kill them I would of done it then rather then months later.”

“
You might have been biding your time”

“
Please I aint got time to bide I
‘
m always here at school” the principle coughed “Ok so I
‘
m mainly here during the day or down at the beach hanging out with the gang and on nights I spend them all with her.”

“
You sleeping with her?”

“
What the fuck has that got to do with anything?”

“
She
‘
s a pretty girl i bet she
’
s a good little mover.”

“
Don
’
t you think you
’
re a little old for her” he laughed “I know what you doing trying to goad me into reacting. I aint gonna bite.”

“
Daddy trained you well. What you doing on the west coast Lucas”

“
I came here to get away from home, my father thought it bout time I went to public school”

“
So why not in New York?”

“
I
‘
m mafia you
’
ve already said that, it would have been like sending a lamb to the slaughter and anyway California was my choice, sun, sea and girls why not here.”

“
Good point” he laughed “Ok were done here. You can leave.”

“
Gee thanks”

“
Oh Lucas before you go, don
’
t go leaving California just yet”

“
Why am I a suspect?”

“
Everyone
’
s a suspect Lucas.”

The Detective Inspector did not like Lucas, he was mafia and this to him meant trouble and his family name meant a whole heap of it.

“
She
‘
s pretty” Valentino stated as Lucas answered the phone.
