Tanner's P.O.V
I met with Robert and one of the police officers that worked for the New York department. Robert told me that my mother insisted she wanted to talk to me, so I agreed... they led me to a room where my mother was Petula hung back. She thought this was something I needed to do without her.
"Prepare yourself. She has a lot to say."
Robert said, opened the door to the interrogation room. My mother sat there with her hands cuffed to the table. She looked older than she had ever looked, and she wasn't looking as well-kept as she always was.
"I didn't think you'd come."
She said to me after I took the only available seat.
"I need answers. Why would you do something like this?"
"To protect you and Riley"
She said, looking at her hands.
"From whom, Lara?"
"No."
I breathed
