"Why did you do it?" The voice didn't crack as the man leaned against the table.
"I had my reason," I pause a second to meet the fellow's gaze straight on. "I did it for my little brother, he didn't deserve to be taken like that." My eyes flare as I think back to the time the boy had been taken away, three years ago.
"I couldn't go another day without trying something else to find him, and this was what came to mind." Leaning back in the chair I rake my hand through my hair. "It's your fault for not finding him sooner, you had the man power but didn't try hard enough."
A blaze of anger rose in my voice. My blue eyes raging like a sea being turned over by a storm.
"If I didn't kill that Officer you never would have looked." I am cut off by the intense look that sparks in the Interrogator's dark eyes, a smirk lifts my lips.
Good I struck a nerve.
"You are an idiot! You will be going to prison for years now because of what you did, and what good does that do for your brother? He will still go without you to raise him. You will be in a jail rotting away and he will be put into fos..."
I rise from my seat as my hands rest along the table. "You can't let him go into foster care, I did all this to have him found, to be safe again, not so he would be put into a system where he will be miss treated."
The man merely shakes his head. "You put yourself here miss. Your little brother will fall right along with you." He begins to turn but then stops. "You really love your brother enough to throw your life away?"
Without hesitation I nod, my eyes betraying my need for composure as tears glisten in their depths. "I would do anything to keep him safe, anything. Please sir don't let him suffer when I tried so hard to bring him back to safety!"
The man looks back at me for a moment. "I will see what I can do." With that he leaves me alone in the room, to think about what will likely happen next. My thoughts are so engulfed in the possibilities of what I can do to keep my brother safe that my life punishment is the furthers thing from my mind.

Wanted to play around with writing something other than a poem, and this was sprung up from the end of this show I watched.
I may (if given the time and desire) start writing more short stories, but we'll see.
