*if you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything*

--------------------
I ignored the pain and glared at the people who had to catch a glimpse of what had happened, 
Some one had killed dad, no matter how many times I replay the message in my head it still didn't seem real to me,
I admit we've never gotten along so well but wouldn't have wished him dead ..not in this world ,,

Already the scene of the crime had taken on a ghoulish circus atmosphere ,,
Every rube in the county with a police scanner had came to gawk,
At a glance , I sighted sheriff scot as reporters about fifty of them heading his way with bright eyes, raised voices , and cameras,

"Sheriff scot we heard late garret was a friend of yours , does this came as a shock"

"Did he have any enemies"

"Do you have any suspect "

I watched as he ignored the questions been hurled at him ,what in world was he thinking ,, I heard on to  Theresa's hand who kept giving me words of assurances ...

"Its gonna be alright Dane"

" how the hell is it gonna be alright when your dad kept looking at me as if I murdered my own father Theresa" I whispered back at her but she only parted my arms instead...

" just what do you mean by that crack sir" I said an hour later after the BCA arrived, I ached a brow , my temper in grave danger of boiling over 

"Your finger print is everywhere ,Dane...none but yours" sherrif scot said 

"Are you implying that I had something to do with my father's death"

" I'm inferring that you may not be telling us the truth Dane "

Anger flashed in my eyes like quicksilver and I took a deep breath   obviously intending to tell him just what I thought about him and his theory..

" I can never murder my father don't you get it  why don't you just investigate further , my dad has so many bitches at hand, one of them could have murder him "

" finger prints are saying other wise Dane ," he said moving away

" why the  f*ck would you believe on mere finger print ,I didn't do it sherrif, I might have not gotten along with him, but I can never murder him"
I shouted impulsively grabbing qhold of his arm so I could catch up with him

"Dane , have been friends with your father for many years , and I've watched you two fight like cat and rat, You've said so many time you would have wished he died instead of your mum, you are a prime suspect , and to me and what I've witnessed so far, you murder your dad,"

"What the f*ck is the meaning of this sheriff , you can't just come to the conclusion that I murder my dad"

"Dad Dane is innocent " I watched Theresa following her dad here and there just to convince him, but the piece of shit wouldn't listen 

" John take Dane back to the station and wait for me there" he ordered

" yes sir" the young deputy turn towards me expectantly 

"Mr Dane"

I ignored him and wheeled towards sheriff scot , grabbing his arm again as he started to walk away from me 

"Are you arresting me or what  ,,what the hell is the meaning of this huh"

"However it means Dane , you are under arrest , now move "

*********
I choke at the smell of manures and opened my eyes only to meet up with a blinding light , I stare up at a young girl about eight staring down at me with an huge eyes the touch light she was holding fell at the very instant ....

"Grand pa" she screamed

"Damn" I brought my head up and coughed at the manure smell, gosh how the hell was I able to survive in this shit, 
I swung my gaze around , lights reflecting into the barn made me realise it was morning , 
Gosh ,,did I really break out prison and survive the police clutches  ...or are they still locking around waiting for the slightest moment for me to make a dash out 
In an instant I heard voice of a man , an elderly one coming towards the barn

"What is it kiddo" 

"Did Tammy scattered the bale of hay again" I stare at the cat in her hand and realise it might actually be whom the man was referring to as tammy..

I stare up at both the man and the little girl's face as they gasped out ... 

"Who in the devil" the man shouted as he reached out for a stick . 

"Who the hell are you and how the hell did you got here" he demanded again,

"Sire wait please" I stretched out my arm to hold his attack 
I got out of the manure and dusted my body , Gosh I stink so bad,

" I emm emm"

" you are a thief" he shouted

"No I am not" I cut his words hurriedly

"Actually sire, would you mind offering me some shelter so I can calmly disclose how I got here ,"

"No , never I need an explanation on what the heck you are doing on my property,, now , I mean now young man" he demanded again ....

"Or I will call the cops right this instant..

The sound of cops made my system go disrupted ,,if he had a good listening ear I was sure he was gonna hear the thudding of my heart

I stare at him and nodded ...

" Alright sire actually the truth is I broke out of prison "

"Sarahhhh" he suddenly ranted through the air

*****yaay ****
