Twenty-three (Late July 1995)
Rebecca Pov
Levi and I were at the police station, (it's not what it sounds like, I was just a witness and Levi went with me), and we were just waiting for me to be called, (as you do I guess), when there was a copper that called Levi, which was weird because he wasn't even a witness for a crime here, so naturally I went with him because I didn't trust the cops.
"We just want to ask him some questions-"
"He's not a witness, I am"
"We just wanted to ask him some questions-"
"It's to do with the break in last week, ain't it, because someone said that the robber was mixed race, well it ain't him as he's as blind as a fucking bat"
"It's just some routine questions-"
"You and I both know that it's not routine questions Officer Brown"
He looked shocked that I knew his name, probably because he purposely didn't give his name so that we couldn't place a complaint against him, unfortunately for him, he was one of Jack's best coppers.
"How do you know-"
"You were a dirty cop for my bio father Jack Addams in London"
"I still need to question-"
"Levi can I have your glasses?"
"Uh sure, you're not going to-"
"No, I wouldn't break them and he better not think about it either"
So Levi gave me his glasses and I cleaned them, (he gets so used to seeing through them that he misses that they need to be cleaned), I did glare at Officer Brown the entire time, daring him to do something about it.
"What, I don't-"
"According to Opal, who's parents house was broken into last week, and she said that the officer on the case was you, the robber winked at her before he left, now tell me Officer Brown, how the fuck is my boyfriend here supposed to have winked at someone when he's squinting because he can't fucking see?, there you go Babe, you should be able to see better"
"Maybe-"
"You were wrong, yeah no shit, especially without a reason to actually question him, if this is how the police treat innocent people, then I ain't helping you lot with the crime I witnessed"
I turn around and go to leave, because I was not going to allow them to be racist and still benefit from me giving them a witness statement, maybe that was petty as fuck on my end, but I didn't care, they assumed that it was Levi that was the robber without so much as thinking about if it was even logical that he was.
"Babe, we can't just leave-"
"Yes we can, if they ask why I changed my mind, I will specifically name him as to why"
"Bex please don't let him change your mind about helping someone else"
"Yeah I was all for it this morning, but if I still give my witness statement, he'll think that it's ok to continue being a racist arsehole"
I don't know if Officer Brown was feeling sorry, or if he was doing it to cover his own arse about a witness not giving their statement because of him, that we'll never know, but he then jumped
"The boys right-"
"So now he's just a boy, where was that when you were accusing him?"
"Look, I might've misjudged-"
"No, if you're going to attempt to apologise, do it correctly, you were racist"
"Your mother wouldn't be so pernickety about it"
"Good thing I'm not trying to be like Rita then, Rita Addams kicked me out when I was 11, why do you think that I'm in Manchester?"
"She kicked you out too?"
There was a short man who I then recognised as 'Catherine', even though that definitely wasn't his name, did I think that he would be in Manchester?, no as the last that I had heard of him was that he was in Glasgow.
"Yeah she did"
"Fucking hell, did she kick anyone else out?"
"Delia"
"Where's she nowadays?"
"Swansea last I heard"
"You with Pat now?"
"No, attempted to find Pat, got lost multiple times, thought I had found Pat's house but I instead found myself a family"
"Jesus Christ, anyway are you going to introduce me to your fella or what?"
"Levi this is-"
"Rory"
So that was what his name is.
"Thank you, my brother, Rory this is my boyfriend Levi, no that doesn't mean that you can interrogate him-"
"I would never, I'm not a cop, I was waiting on Officer Brown to report my car stolen-"
"Yeah sorry about that, he was too busy being-"
"Racist to your boyfriend, I know, you're not exactly quiet, and I know that you don't want to give your statement now, but then you dragged your boyfriend here for nothing and that makes the trip pointless"
"Excuse you-"
"I know that it's seems like you're letting him win by still giving your statement, but you're then punishing some poor fucker for his actions, so just think about it"
"Fine"
