22 The aftermath. (1/2)

Logan checked on the mother-daughter pair. Both of them were fine ,not suffered any injuries. They started profusely thanking Logan. Logan appeared to be quiet embarrassed by this. Logan had asked Bella to call their dad in. She was on the phone telling him about the incident and asking him to come inside the store. The shopkeeper had already called the police and they were on their way.

Arthur entered the store looking anxious. He had already felt Bella's fear when she spoke on the phone.He rushed towards her and embrace her.

”Are you okay sweetie?”

”Are you hurt?”

”Talk to me sweetie”

”Where is that bastard?”

Logan on the other hand stood beside her. He coughed twice to get his father's attention but to no avail. Fathers loved their daughters more. He had heard this in his past life.

Bella in her Arthur's embrace said,”I am fine father. You better ask brother. He was the one who fought the thugs.”

Arthur glanced at Logan,” Brat, it anything would have happened to my princess I would have broken your legs.”

Logan rolled his eyes at this:”How can you be so cold to your son,father? Shouldn't you atleast ask if I am okay?”

How there be so much discrepancy in the treatment?

”Aren't you a big boy now? I don't need to take care of you?”

Logan was left with his mouth open. The police had come to take care of the situation. Everyone was taken to the precinct for their statements. The thugs were also taken into custody. Arthur being a criminal defence attorney had quite a few acquaintances in the precinct. The processing went on smoothly. He already was good friends with the captain there. They were seated in his office after the statements were taken.

Captain Simmons was looking at the young boy sitting beside his father. Since it involved his friend Arthur, he had personally handled the situation. From the statements of the witnesses he had found that this young boy had dispatched two armed adults very calmly and meticulously. He was surprised that such a temperament could be found in a teenager. Undoubtedly he was impressed. He had wanted to see how he had done it but unfortunately the camera had been disabled.
