"You have no righ-"
"I wasNOTfinished talking," I practically growled, and he was forced to shut the fuck up. My patience was so thin that Bria was literally on the border of pushing me to shift, her nose mere centimeters from the wall that kept her at bay.
"Tell me, Officer Ronald. How would my BLIND boyfriend be able to ‘OBSERVE’ the area? Not to mention, I have exact time stamps for when he clocked out of our business, as well as multiple reports that can be easily retrieved on my phone that show him leaving our company in one of our business cars."
This man looked like a fucking fool right now and his "backup" was already lowering their guns and trying to step further away to not get hit by the crossfire of the crowd. More police had arrived, but unlike these men who were in NYPD uniforms, these men in black came through the crowd until the leader was at my side and bowing his head.
"Miss De Luca! Sorry for the delay. What seems to be the issue?! We can handle this."
"Who the fuck are you?" the policeman snapped.
"Secret Security,” the man spat out as he narrowed his eyes at the man, who was practically red with anger.
"It seems this police officer and his backup crew were informed that my boyfriend here was observing the area multiple times in an attempt to bomb this place and falsely accused him of working with a cartel." It sounded so fucking amusing, I had to laugh in an attempt to tame my rage.
"Neo and I left work approximately an hour ago and have been sitting in the heavy traffic. These men stopped their car and repeatedly demanded my bodyguard get Neo's I.D. which I know is against the law here in NYC unless there’s a warrant or legitimate reason like speeding. How would one speed in ten miles per hour traffic?"
There was nothing he could say so I decided to wrap things up. "We have a reservation for the restaurant right there, and my driver was trying to find a place for the valet drivers to take our cars. What a surprise to find these police officers pointing guns at my men and falsely accusing them when I'm pretty sure there's been no reported activity in this area today."
"You're accusing me of lying?!"
"Yes," I replied. "I want a report on this area, now."
There was literally no delay. A secret agent was already waking forward and stating the obvious. "The last official report made in this area was five days ago, Miss De Luca."
The way I smiled had the rest of the crowd cheering, and I noticed the two valet drivers and a female server coming through the crowd.
"Miss De Luca!" the server announced over the crowd. "Is everything okay?! Your table is ready."
"I'll be there in a moment," I declared. "I'm perfectly fine. Please ensure our cars are parked with care."
"Yes, ma'am!" The two drivers bowed and eyed the officers before rushing to our cars, and before the man could say a word, Jayce and Viktor moved to stand at Neo's sides while one Secret Secruity agent moved to stand behind him.
It was obvious we were protecting him, and I could tell his spike of nerves had calmed down. With a defiant grin, I didn't hesitate to take a step forward and look up to the fuming man as I whispered, "You thought you could play smart with me, Officer? You really messed with the wrong person."
He was practically shaking, and I lowered my voice even further, knowing only he and possibly my men would hear my words.
"Mess with what's Forbidden, and you'll find yourself stuck in a venomous trap. Count your blessings, Officer. They're numbered."
I pulled back and looked at the lead agent. "I want all of them arrested," I announced loud and clear. The other officers gasped, but they were already being disarmed and placed in handcuffs.
"You can't arrest me!" The officer moved faster than expected, his fist about to punch my face. It was stopped a second later by Neo's hand, and the low, threatening rumble that vibrated against his throat made everyone freeze while Jayce and Viktor had their guns out, pointing directly at the officer, along with five other secret agents.
"You'll regret that," Neo vowed and twisted the man's wrist until it literally snapped.
"AH!" he screamed. "He broke my wrist! Fucking criminal! Why aren't you arresting him?!" His demands were merely a waste of breath because he was now slammed to the floor and handcuffed - even with his broken wrist.
I let out a sigh while the crowd was cheering us on as they made space for us to go up the stairs to the restaurant. Reaching for Neo's hand, I squeezed tightly, noticing the slight tremble. I tugged him forward as we walked side by side, while the server guided us to the restaurant entrance.
Once we were inside, Viktor stated that he'd make sure to give a full report before the Secret Secruity left and Jayce said he'd sit at the table while I excused us to go to the private bathroom. Once we were in the exclusive space, I locked the door and turned to face Neo.
He didn't let me say a word as he pulled me into the tightest hug ever.
"Breathe, Neo," I encouraged as he took huge breaths of air. "Just breathe, mate. I'm right here."
He did exactly that, and I immediately sensed Dimitris's and Onyx's worry.
"What's wrong with Neo?"Onyx questioned.
