The cruiser screeched into the muddy lot of the 14th Precinct, a crumbling brick fortress that smelled perpetually of cheap bleach, stale cigarette smoke, and despair. Jenkins threw the car into park, stepped out into the freezing downpour, and yanked the back door open. He grabbed Maya by her injured shoulder and hauled her out without a shred of human decency. She stumbled, her sneakers slipping on the slick pavement, but she caught her balance before her knees could strike the ground."Keep moving!" Jenkins growled, shoving her forward toward the heavy metal double doors.Inside, the precinct was a chaotic symphony of ringing phones, shouting suspects, and clacking keyboards. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed with a headache-inducing frequency, casting a sickly yellow pallor over the cramped space. Jenkins paraded Maya through the bullpen like a trophy, his chest puffed out. Several officers looked up from their desks, their eyes lingering on Maya's bleeding face and torn, coffee-stained hoodie, but not a single one said a word—they simply looked away, complicit in their silence.At the front booking desk sat Sergeant Miller, a heavyset man with bags under his eyes and a half-eaten sandwich resting on a stack of incident reports. He looked up as Jenkins slammed Maya's shoulder against the booking counter."What do we have here, Brad?" Miller asked, his tone bored, completely unbothered by the blood dripping onto his clean counter."Armed robbery suspect," Jenkins lied smoothly, entirely unfazed. "Matched the description of the Starlight convenience store hit. Resisted arrest; had to use necessary force to subdue her."Maya lifted her chin, her eyes burning into Miller's. "That is a categorical lie," she said, her voice remarkably steady despite the tremor of pain in her chest. "I was assaulted, unlawfully detained, and falsely arrested without reasonable, articulable suspicion. I am invoking my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, and I am demanding my Sixth Amendment right to legal counsel immediately."Miller paused, a piece of lettuce hanging halfway out of his mouth. He looked at Maya, genuinely surprised by the flawless legal terminology, then looked back at Jenkins. "She a lawyer or something?""She's a nobody who watches too much television," Jenkins sneered, yanking on her handcuffs. "Process her, Miller. Put her in Holding Cell 4. I'm going to my desk to write up the felony resisting charge."Timothy stepped forward, his voice cracking slightly. "Sarge, maybe we should get her to holding... first, get a paramedic down here to look at her shoulder. It looks dislocated."Jenkins turned and glared at the rookie with absolute venom. "She's fine, Tim. Stop acting like a coward. Go make us some coffee while I write this up."Miller sighed heavily, grabbed a set of keys, came around the counter, and grabbed Maya by the bicep. "Come on, kid. Let's go."They walked her down a narrow, damp corridor lined with cinder block cells; the smell of urine and rust was overpowering. Miller shoved her into Cell 4, a barren, freezing cage with a single metal bench bolted to the floor. He didn't uncuff her. He slammed the heavy iron door shut, the metallic clank echoing down the hallway like a death knell.Maya stood in the center of the cell, shivering violently in her soaked clothes. The adrenaline was finally beginning to wear off, leaving behind a profound, agonizing pain. But beneath the pain, the cold, calculated fury remained. She knew her father. She knew the SOS had gone through. She just had to wait.
