The Storm

[Callie]

Micah

"Oh," I said, picking up the phone.
"Sir, you're going to need to come to the police station. We have a minor by the name of Silas that says you're his guardian," someone said.
I grimaced. "I'll be right there," I said, hanging up and exhaling. It didn't take a genius to figure out why they had Silas.

[Emmy]

Holly
"....what did he do now?"

[Callie]

Micah

"The cops caught him. Probably for stealing. I don't know why they really need me down there, though. He's only fifteen, so he should just be sent to juvie," I said with a sigh, looking between Brianne and Holly. "Either of you want to come?"

[Emmy]

Holly
"Duh, I am..." I looked down at my clothes. "I guess I'll have to make do with the hospital gowns." I muttered with a sigh.
Bailey
"You think you're going somewhere?"
Holly
"yes. I am." Bailey smiled. "That's all you need to do. Stand up to me. Go ahead.."

[Callie]

Micah

"I guess we'll get going then. If you wanna come, Bri, just catch up to us," I said, starting off out the door.

[Emmy]

Holly
I slipped on those scrub things they were at hospitals so I'd have something on my feet and followed Micah out.

[Callie]

Micah

Once we got out, I realized that there was no car unless Silas drove, which I wouldn't put past him, but even if he had, he probably would've driven off with it anyhow, so I walked downtown.

*Later...*

I walked into the interrogation room, where the officer was looking frustrated and Silas was wearing his trademark smirk. "We can't get any information out of him," the officer said, looking tired and irritated.

[Ashley (;]

Brianne

I eventually caught up to Micah and Holly, staying quiet.

Edit:

[Callie]

OOC: Micah and Holly, you mean? XD

[Ashley (;]

Ooc:

[alex]

ooc: *slaps Callie* I posted last page, silly xD

[Emmy]

Holly
I looked around Micah and at Silas. I gave him a You're-a-complete-idiot-you-know-that? type of look, but let Micah do the talking.

[Callie]

OOC: Oh. OW D:

Ian

My eyes widened and I got down on the floor next to Selena. "D'you need me to call an ambulance or something?" I asked, concerned. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if she wanted to go to the hospital; Selena was probably afraid it was some sort of mutant baby or something. Well, I was too, but I'd rather her not be in pain.

Micah

"Yeah, he does that. What's he in here for?" I asked calmly, sending Silas a look to shut up and not speak. His mouth wouldn't do us any good at all in here.
"He broke into a house and almost set the alarms off, and some more of the force is follow - hold it," he said, listening to something that only he could hear. An earpiece or something. "Well, they were following an address he had written on a piece of paper in his pocket, and they found it. It's some old, abandoned warehouse. There's a whole bunch of stolen goods in there. Mostly jewelery."
"Alright, alright. So I had the address and everything, and there were stolen goods. Ever think that maybe I was carrying around the address because I got it from a friend or something? Maybe my friend stole the stuff," Silas pointed out.
I almost hit my head on the wall on purpose. I should've known Silas could keep his input in.
"Oh? And where is this supposed 'friend' of yours now?" the officer asked pointedly.
"Apparently you didn't get the gist of it, officer, but I was speaking hypothetically, and pointing out that you and your squad are jumping to conclusions," he said, serious for once.
The officer looked thoughtful, but then he snorted. "Sure, son. Whatever you believe. I've gotta talk to the chief," he said to me, "I'll be back in a minute."
Then he left. "What the fuck were you thinking?" I exploded quietly.
Silas raised an eyebrow at me. "That I felt like breaking into some fancy-schmancy house and setting off the alarm. What do you think I was thinking, Micah?"
"I don't know what the hell you were thinking. You don't need to steal anymore."
"I don't know why you automatically assume I'm the one who stole everything," he retorted, casting a covert glance farther up the wall. "I need to talk to you - in private. Away from Holly and Bri and the goddamn 5-0 with their noses all up in my motherfucking business!"
I put my head in my hands. "Silas, you're not helping your cause."
"They're gonna put me away, anyways. All the stuff they think I've stolen, they're at least going to send me to juvie. Not to mention they'll be dead pissed when they find out about school," he said with a roll of his eyes.

Silas

If I was being honest with myself, I didn't know why I was even doing all of this overreacting. I just wanted to get the three hundred dollars and be done with it. The cops were not helping in the overall grand scheme of things. And I had to talk to Micah about it. Maybe he'd try harder to help get me out, instead of agreeing with the cops in front of the fucking cameras!


OOC: Wow. o.o Big wall of text.

[alex]

Selena

"No, no," I mumbled and cringed. It felt like contractions though it was impossible, I was only seven weeks pregnant. "I don't know, they'll know there is something wrong with it," I said between the pain.

[Callie]

Ian

"We're gonna have to take that chance," I answered, grabbing my keys and helping her up. "It's hurting you, and I don't want that to happen."

[alex]

Selena

"But... but," I begun to protest but then came another contraction. "Oh okay then!" I stood up by pulling myself up from the coffee table.

[Callie]

Ian

Once she was up, I picked her up in my arms and carried her outside, setting her gently down in the backseat so she could lay down, where it would hopefully be more comfortable. Then I got into the drivers' seat and started driving as fast as I could to the hospital.

[Ashley (;]

Brianne

'Getting anything out of the conversation?' I asked Holly with a frown. Sometimes my powers seriously sucked.

[Emmy]

Holly
[i[Not really. I get the vibe he has to pay someone back though, for what I'm not sure...[/i] I sent back.
ooc: *feels need to correct Callie it was only 300 bucks*

[Callie]

OOC: I fixed it. xD

Silas

"Silas - "
"No. Come on. I'll talk to you outside," I said firmly, heading for the door. It wasn't locked, but there was an officer outside.
"Son, you can't - "
"Oh, the hell I can't. I'll be right back. Deal with it," I retorted, dragging Micah outside. Once we were out of earshot from anyone, I started to talk. "Okay. So I met my dad for the first time the other day. I'm not going over the lovely details. Then today, he shows up with some girl that I apparently stole from and pawned her stuff, so she wants the money back. Three hundred dollars, and I have a week to get it to them, or they're gonna kill Holly," I informed him in a bored tone.
"What? Why did you have to bring Holly into this?" he asked incredulously.
"You think I did it on purpose?! Micah, really, do you think I'd put up with giving them the money if it wasn't for Holly? No. I'd either kill them or pack my shit up and run, but I'm not going to let them fucking lay a hand on her. I have to get this money."
Micah sighed and ran a hand through his hair - a sign that he was thinking. "I'll help."
I shook my head. "No. The best you can do is keep me out of prison, jail, juvie, whatever. This is something I need to do on my own."
"Silas, don't be so pigheaded!" he exclaimed crossly.
"I'm stubborn, Micah. Like Mom. You'll have to deal with it," I said with a tired smile.
Micah looked taken aback - whether it was from my non-sarcastic smile or the mention of Mom, I couldn't tell you. He hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Fine. I'll do my best to keep you out of the slammer. Mind you, this is not something I should have to say to my fifteen-year-old brother," he said pointedly.
"I'm not a normal fifteen-year-old," I pointed out dryly.

[Emmy]

Holly
When they went outside, I pressed myself up against the wall to listen. I couldn't hear their actual voices well, but I could hear it all through Micah's mind. He...was risking this...for me? I stepped back since I did not need to push against the wall to hear his mind. I went back to Brianne, biting my lip, finally biting it a bit too hard and I made myself bleed. I was so nervous for him I couldn't even begin to explain.

[Ashley (;]

Brianne

I smiled slightly to myself, listening to Holly's thoughts. "You okay?"

[Callie]

Micah

"True enough," I said, smiling slightly. "Wanna go face your fate, then?"
He shrugged. "Why not. I have a few smartass remarks saved up for just this occasion, actually."
I rolled my eyes as we walked inside. I had the feeling Silas had some smartass remarks saved up for just about any occasion.
"See? I'm back, just like I said. Sorry I didn't bring any doughnuts," he told the officer in typical sarcastic Silas fashion. I rolled my eyes, but couldn't resist smiling.
The officer appeared to have a different opinion. "It's been decided you're going to trial," he said.
"That was surprisingly quick."
The guy didn't say anything, just slapped some handcuffs around Silas's wrists.
"Now, the handcuffs might be a problem. I'm not into the kinky shit. Or guys."

[alex]

Selena

I frowned and gently stroke my stomach. "Please me okay, baby," I mumbled to it.

[Callie]

Ian

I stopped in front of the hospital and threw open the door to the backseat, helping Selena out of there and carrying her up to the hospital, then told the people at the front desk that she was going into labor and we needed a goddamn doctor, thank you very much.

[Emmy]

Holly
I said nothing, just went over the conversation again so Brianne could read/hear it.

[alex]

Selena

They rushed me in to one of the rooms and laid me down on the bed. "How far along are we?" the doctor asked as he entered the room.
"Ehm... seven weeks," I said quietly.

[Callie]

Micah

"Hold on just a minute," I said, making a face. "You can't convict him or... keep him in custody. Whatever."
"Yes we can. The things at the warehouse had his prints all over them," the officer retorted, dragging Silas off, who was just smirking. What did he have up his sleeve?

Ian

I sighed and reluctantly sat down in the waiting room when the nurse wouldn't let me come in quite yet. She said once the labor had started, I could come in.

[Ashley (;]

Brianne

I walked over to Micah, "I'm in on this helping Silas thing too."

[Callie]

Micah

"I'm not sure if he needs help," I said slowly. "You saw that look, didn't you? I think the kid's got a plan."
