- Y'all, go in the store. A'ight? It's okay.
- Daddy-
- Oh. Maverick Carter.
- See? My ID is in here.
- Daddy keeps his eyes on the officer.We don't move though.Daddy removes his wallet, the leather one I bought for Fathers Day with his initials embossed on it. He shows it to them.
- Get on the ground, hands behind your back.
- On the ground face down! Now!
- But-
- His voice never sounded so small.the black officer takes the wallet and opens it.
- Sir, go inside
- Now wait a minute, Officer
- Boy, go inside
- Me and him were just talking.
- But he didn't do anything
- No! Thats my father, and-
- Larry
- He exchanges a look with his partner (the black cop). Both of them look at me. My heart stops. They've realized i'm the witness. There must be a file that lists my parents' names on it. Or the detectives blabbed, and now everyone at the station knows our names. Or they could've gotten it from Uncle Carlos somehow. I don't know how it happened, but it happened. And if somethings happens to Daddy...
- Daddy looks at us. His expression apologizes for the fact that we have to see this. He gets down on one knee and lowers himself to the ground, face-down. His hands go behind his back, and his fingers interlock.
- Even though he is lying on the concrete, there's enough authority in his voice to make seven shut up.The black officer checks Daddy while his partner glances at all of the onlookers. There is quite a few of us now. "Everyone go about your own business," the white one says. "No sir," says Tim. "this is our business."
- Seven!
- The black cop keeps his knee on Daddy's back as he searches him. He pats him down once, twice, three times, just like One-Fifteen did Khalil. Nothing. The black one, who must be Larry, looks up at him, then at all the people who have gathered around. "Get up," Larry says. Larry takes his knee off Daddy's back and stands.SLowly Daddy gets to his feet.
- I'm keeping an eye on you, boy. Remember that.
