Bryan couldn't believe what he was seeing.
His big burly beast of a step-dad... on the floor, with a at least 3 police officers pinning him down. One on each of his broad shoulders, while the 3rd struggled to keep get Max's thick greasy hands behind his back so he can be handcuffed, only to realize that Max's thick wrists were too big for the standard set, so he had to struggle with zip-ties with his greased up hands...
Several other officers hovered around him, guns drawn and aimed right at him... though Max didn't seem to put up much of a real struggle at all.
From the doorway, the head officer was reading Max his rights, as well as list of crimes.
"... smuggling various drugs and narcotics, aggravated assault, destruction of private property, and a dozen or so stolen identities. Take him away."
The three officers who had their hands on Max struggled to lift the hefty-felon. After the trio's 2nd effort made the gun wielding officers to put away their weapons and try to help them. It was a group effort to get Max on his knees. All of them groaned as they lift all at once just to make the bear-bod dad to fully stand. It was somewhat embarrassing, as all of the officers present seemed rather lean, fit, and professionally looking for law enforcement.
The head officer, Nick Hoppins, took a step aside from the door to let his boys walk the perp and then approach Bryan. He asked the teen his age. Being of age, Bryan will be on his own once Max is fully convicted for his crimes. He would need get a job just to cover food, home utilities and insurance, resulting in roughly thousands of dollars a month just for standard living... but the bean-pole young adult didn't care.
"It is rather odd though... he is usually careful and well to avoid me attempts to arrest him. Been on his trail for years... it is almost like he wanted me to find him..."
Max was going to jail! Bryan's mind tuned out all other details the officer told him, Max is gone. He WILL be locked up! BRYAN IS FREE!
The officer tipped his hat to the boy, having ready to take Max to the county jail.
From the window, Bryan looked at Max, hunched and cramped into the backseat of the police car. For the years of being abused and threaten by his stepfather, the big brutish oaf will now be behind bars and be under police surveillance. Bryan was smug and happy with this thought... but right as the police car with Max began to pull out of the yard, Bryan saw Max look RIGHT at him through the window... with a HUGE toothy smile beaming RIGHT at his stepson... with him licking his lips with a mixture of lust and hunger.
For that moment: Bryan sense of security was gone. He now KNEW Max let himself be arrested... he had something BIG planned... and Bryan, for the sake of his own life, didn't know what his monstrous step-father has planned.
Especially when it came for him to...
