The big house

Jun 28, 2003 09:38

Thank goddess Faith showed up, but I didn't have time to really sit there and get with the thankyous because the lovely Security at Disney showed up.

"Everybody freeze! Hands up!" This cop was like standing right in front of us with his guns pointed right at us.

Tori stood frozen and Faith well she put her hands together above her head and sighed. I knew she was worried about this guy kind of hauling herself back to prison. No way was I going to let that happen.

I did as I was told and then I spoke up. "Excuse me Officer, I can explain."

The security guy wasn't exactly convinced, he did put his gun down and he walked over to Tori. "Yeah well by the looks of it, you girls have been not having very much fun here in Disney and you're all under arrest for breaking, entering and well this too."

He went to pick up Tori and start handcuffing her. I walked over there and Faith's eyes shot at me, like I better do something. Tori tried to struggle. "It wasn't me! It was them! They brought me here!"

Faith smirked. "Yeah right blame it on us. That's gonna look real good when they throw you in the slammer for the rest of your life."

The other cops swooped in. "All of you be quiet. Now, I'm not sure what kind of stunt you girls were planning on pulling but you're all coming down to the security so I suggest you all be quiet and actually start telling the truth," the one officer said. "Take them away. And clean this other girl up." One of the security guys looked at me.

Oh boy I had never been in handcuffs well not like in the kind of criminal sort of way and ouch, those things hurt. And let me tell you I already had enough pain. And then they went to grab Faith. Oh boy. Not a good idea. She wanted to bust on those guys. Before they handcuffed or even tried to handcuff Faith I gave them a heads up. "Might want to go a little easy on her," I said as one of them led me out. "Why?"

"Oh just trust me," and he threw me in the van. "Right ok."

I looked out the window and sure enough Faith was not happy indeed to be thrown back in cuffs. But she did the smart thing and not put up a fight because really they might get suspicious. "Damn it Red," and she actually was handcuffed and thrown in the van with me. "That's the last time I ever try to hug, care and share and grow with anyone."

I blinked. "Faith you did the right thing."

I looked out the window and I saw Tori really struggling with the cops and trying to be pulled away. "Yeah right, that chick ain't exactly going with the flow ya know?"

The security finally managed to put her in another van and we were off driving to the security place that is just outside of Disney. I'd be lying and say I wasn't nervous. I mean who knew what they did with people that did this, I mean what if they found I hacked! And what if they found out about Faith. And if it wasn't for us, Disney would be blown up by now. I didn't know why they were being so mean and ridiculous.

So we got into the security place and it was like some detention hall. Those guys were so happy to see their cop friends and everything. I guess you know they don't get much action around here. At least not this. The security led us into a holding area. I had no idea what I was in store for. Faith looked like she had seen this all before. And really she had. I bet she was having real bad flashbacks right about now. Finally I was uncuffed, and they separated me from Faith which I didn't want to be. "Wait, no, you can't do that!" I could still feel the blood kind of parts of me. "She didn't do anything!"

The cop pulled me away. "Look you're hurt, you have to be cleaned up before we can talk. I can assure you she's not going anywhere so don't worry."

Faith shrugged as they pulled me away. "Chill Red, I'll be alright."

But I could tell by the look in her eyes she wasn't.

They took me to some place in the back where they could clean me up. Antiseptic, ointments the works. Ouchies. Big time ouchies. The one security guy looked at me, "You've had some action here, where have you been? Hell?" he asked applying some bandages.

I looked away. My big concern here was Faith. "You could say that. What are they going to do with Tori and Faith?"

He shrugged. "Don't know. Have to talk to the chief about that."

"Sir she didn't do anything! And neither did I! We were saving Disney. Tori was going to blow it up and.." I realized at that point that no matter what I said wouldn't matter. And this guy didn't look convinced. But he actually did a good job of cleaning me up. He then led me to a holding cell where of course I was put in with Faith. Faith was already sliding down and looking at those bars. "We'll be back soon," the cop said and he slammed the bars and locked them.

I looked at Faith. "Are you ok?"

Faith shrugged. "Kind of ironic don't you think?"

I swallowed. "I guess," and I sat down next to her on the floor. "That's not what I asked Faith though."

"I'm five by five Red," she looked away with her knees kind of pulled up. I took my hand and put it on her shoulder. "Hey we're going to get out of here, I promise."

She turned her head. "Maybe this is where I belong, ya know? I wasn't supposed to get out in the first place. Those guys already probably have a whole lead on me and crap. I knew it was too good to be true. You bustin' me out, livin' this life." She sighed, laying her head back on the wall, looking up. "I bet you anything they're gonna believe her than us."

"Faith, you don't belong in here. And neither do I. And I don't regret breaking you out that night. I never have, because dammit I love you." I looked her right in the eyes. "Look at how far you've come Faith, don't you see? I mean if it wasn't for you that girl would've probably blown us up and everyone else by now. And if these silly guys can't see it then they are missing out. Because I do. So we're getting out of here and you're not going to worry about something that hasn't happened, ok?"

She nodded quietly. And I'm not sure how long we sat there for but finally the guard came back to get us and he unlocked the bars. I got up and so did Faith. "What's going on?"

He shrugged. "You girls are free to go."

I blinked. "Really?"

The security guy nodded. "Yup." He opened the bars and we walked out.

"Not that I'm gonna complain and all but why?" Faith curiously asked.

The security guy led us to the front desk. "That girl that we brought in, confessed."

"She confessed?" I couldn't believe it.

"Sure did. Chief started talking to her and she went on about how it was all her fault and then she mentioned how you," he looked at Faith, "Talked her out of blowing everything up to kingdom come. Said she also didn't have parents or anything."

Faith's expression went to relief to just shock. First time I ever saw her kind of speechless from something other than well, you know.

"What's going to happen to her?" I asked. "She doesn't have parents or anything. I mean real parents."

"She's only 15, so she's going to have to stay in juvenile detention for awhile. The Florida State judicial system will probably put her in a foster home. It's a good thing you girls found her," he smiled.

"Can we see her one last time, before we get out of here?" Faith from out of nowhere asked.

"Sure but make it quick, Chief doesn't like long visits," he pointed. "She's just around the corner, not far from where you guys were."

Faith led me down the hall. "Faith why are we going to look at her? I mean she probably doesn't want to talk to us."

She stopped me before we walked any further. "Because I know how this goes, and she's got to know she's not completely alone. Girl probably feels like her whole entire world ended."

So we approached her cell and she just had her eyes shut. "Hey," Faith called from outside the bars.

Tori stood up, I guess kind of shocked that someone came by. "Hi, what are you guys still doing here? Didn't they tell you?"

I nodded. "They did."

She paced around her cell. "Yeah well, I guess then I won't be blowing up anything any time soon."

"No, but I hear they are going to find somewhere good for you to go," I softly tried to smile. "I mean I bet you can do some other things with that brain of yours. I mean you thought of blowing up Disney and look you even planted those bombs, I bet you could do something else."

She looked at me with distrust.

Ok going for the whole reassuring thing its going to be ok by bringing up the worst things. Not good Will.

Faith sighed, "Think what my girlfriend's tryin' to say here is that you kind of are on your way. I'll check up on ya."

Tori's eyes softened. "Yeah right. No one else does."

Faith tilted her head. "Yeah ok, so that happened but no one else really knows what you're about to go through 'cept me. I'm not sayin' it's gonna be easy. But if you want to, you can do something about it instead of pissin' on everyone else ok?"

She nodded. "Ok."

We left her soon after that and left the security. I think Faith couldn't wait to get out of here, neither could I.
