Chapter 1782

The trash can sailed through the air, scattering its foul-smelling contents across the police station, filling the air with a pungent odor.
Several young officers flanked Kieran from both sides, trying to grab hold of his arms.
But Kieran thrashed wildly, his surprising strength allowing him to break free from one officer’s grip. With a sharp elbow strike, he hit another officer square in the stomach. The officer grunted in pain, stumbling back a few steps but gritted his teeth and held his ground. The scene in the reception hall descended into chaos. Civilians seeking assistance huddled in corners, some shrieking in fear.
Mrs. Stone stood to the side, wringing her hands and stomping her feet in desperation. Her voice, pleading and panicked, was drowned out by her son’s shouting.
“Kieran, stop this! Calm down!” she cried.
But Kieran was too far gone, consumed by his manic performance. He couldn’t or wouldn’t hear her.
The situation was teetering on the brink of total chaos when the precinct chief arrived on the scene.
Tall and imposing, his authoritative presence immediately shifted the atmosphere. His sharp eyes took in the pandemonium, and after a deep breath, he bellowed, “Everybody, stop right now!”
The sheer force of his voice startled Kieran, momentarily freezing him mid-action.
Seizing the opportunity, the chief lunged forward with impressive speed. Grabbing Kieran’s wrist, he twisted it behind Kieran’s back in one swift motion, pinning his arm firmly.
At the same time, the chief placed his other hand on Kieran’s neck, pressing him to the ground with controlled precision.
Kieran struggled and mumbled incoherently, but his resistance was futile.
With Kieran subdued, the officers collectively exhaled in relief and began tidying up the disheveled station.
Mrs. Stone, seeing her son restrained, rushed to the officers, tears streaming down her face as she wailed, “Officers, please, you have to save my son! He’s only like this because of all the suffering our family has endured!”
She broke into hysterical sobs as she recounted her grievances.
“Ever since Karina came into our family, we haven’t had a single peaceful day. She caused the death of my precious daughter, Tara. That girl was the light of our lives, and now she’s gone!
“And then my son, Kieran, was left
disabled because of her. These tragedies were too much for my family to bear. Kieran hasn’t been able to move past it, and his mental health started to deteriorate, But we don’t have the money to get him proper treatment!
“My husband and I have worked hard our entire lives. Why did this have to happen to us? Why does this disaster keep following us?”
The officer calmly recorded her statement, his expression neutral but professional.
Once Mrs. Stone finished her Stone
emotional plea, the officer looked up and spoke firmly. “Mrs. Stone, please compose yourself. We will thoroughly investigate everything you’ve said to verify the facts
“However, based on the evidence provided by Miss Karina, your son’s behavior constitutes harassment, which is a clear violation of the law.”
Mrs. Stone’s face twisted with even greater despair. She dropped to her knees and crawled toward the officer, her voice rising in desperation.
“Officer, I’m telling the truth! Karina is a curse to our family. She’s the reason for all our suffering, and now she wants to take Kieran away. This is unjust. There’s no justice in this!” The officer frowned slightly, taking a step back to maintain an appropriate distance.
“Mrs. Stone, the law applies equally to everyone. We cannot take sides based solely on your words. For now, we ask for your cooperation in our investigation.”
