Earth Year 22XX ; Age 14
The officer lead her up the driveway by her shoulder, the metal biting into the skin on her wrist. "You're lucky I brought you home, Miss Orlov, instead of putting you behind bars tonight." She rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth. It had only been a bit of trespassing, it's not like it was vandalism or some shit.
"Yeah, sure Mike. Keep on saying that, but lucky is a relative term..."
"That's Officer Beckert." But she had already tuned out. He already knocked on the door, he was irredeemable at this point. His words meant nothing to her; something about recklessness, or bad influence, or some shit. He had sent her to hell. 'I wish you had just taken me to jail.' The door snatched open to a half-drunken woman with a cigarette in hand and a screaming baby on her hip. Her mother almost seemed surprised to see her, and then any emotion got pushed aside; Her face contorted to rage as she stared down Natalya. "Evening Ma-"
"Where the fuck have you been?!" Natalya felt the officer flinch back at her mother's shout, just barely making it over the decibel level of her youngest brother. "I take my eyes off you for one instant-" Her finger jabbed at the air in front of her. She wouldn't dare touch her while a police officer stood there. "And you're acting like a fucking disgrace and getting arrested!" Her shouting only upset the baby more, which in turn only made her shout louder.
He straightened and cleared his throat. "She was found amongst other delinquents trespassing in private property-"
"It was an abandoned building, who the fuck cares." She snapped.
"-Shooting fireworks-"
"I didn't bring those, I didn't even set any off, It wasn't my idea." She tried to pull away from the officer, but his hand tugged at her with more force.
"-Which set off multiple car alarms and almost started a brush fire."
"I'm telling you, I didn't fucking do it-"
"Hey!" Her mother pointed at her with the cigarette, "Watch your fucking mouth! Or I might just let him take you to jail, you ungrateful brat!" She scowled at her mother. 'Irony at its finest.'
The officer's eyes flicked between them. "But...." He started cautiously, "My partner and I decided to let her go with a warning. She claims not to have been in possession of the fireworks and says she didn't set any off. Since we have no proof of either, and since she's so young, we think that jail time would be unnecessary." To her dismay, he went behind her and uncuffed her, sending her to her fate.
"Thanks for bringing her back..." Her mother grumbled, still glaring at Natalya.
He nodded. "Of course ma'am. You ladies have a nice night." And with that, only her punishment awaited her as he walked away, and she was yanked inside - once out of view, of course.
