"she ain't even buckled up right." she said and i looked down.

"oh...can you show me real quick." i said sitting the car seat on the couch.

she moved in front of me and bent over a lil to unbuckle it,"okay look..." she said and i zoned out as my eyes roamed her body.

"and then you buckle up these." she said making me snap back into reality.

i watched as she finished,"okay i got it now," i said.

"i'm here to see...luxor." i said and the police officer nodded.

he lead me to a room with two chairs and a table between them.

i sat down and waited for him to come in, the door opened and he came in with a orange jumpsuit and hand cuffs.

"30 minutes max." the officer said before walking out.

nigga it ain't gonna be 5-

"hey son." he said.

"hey luxor." i replied fully sitting up.

"so...what brings you by?" he asked and i shrugged.

i did know but i wasn't gonna tell him.

"just thought to pay you a visit.."

"well...you have grown a lot."

"i mean you haven't seen me since i was 4 so that would explain it." i said and he sighed.

"i know...and again i'm sorry...i'm getting out ina few years."

"okay...uhh i have a daughter now." i said and he looked shocked for a second.

"how old are you?"

"18." i replied and he nodded.

"okay.." he said and we sat in silence for a moment.

"okay well it's good seeing you again son." he said and i nodded.

i watched as his face changed for a second and he started rubbing the side of his face.

he's gotta be switching right now,"luxor-" i said and he didn't move but stared in space.

"shit..." i mumbled getting up.

i knocked on the door,"yes-" the police officer said.

"i think-" before i could finish she rushed to him.
