Maddy was with the 126, talking to them about the raid that happened the night before at Owen and Mateo's place."Okay.. so what happened again Mateo? Tell me everything!" Maddy said insistently.
"So yeah.. they just came in and took shit out of the house."
"Okay.. like WHAT?!" Maddy tried not to snap, but she couldn't help it. She was annoyed, and furious.
"His... the stuff he had for tracking the arsonist I think.."
"Son of a bitch!" Maddy exclaimed.
TK went to to call his dad again, "still voicemail.."
"Well fuck." Maddy started to freak out, and just as she did, Carlos appeared. Maddy and TK walked over to him. "What is going on?" Maddy asked, slightly annoyed.
"We gotta talk in private..." Carlos said to TK. He motioned for Maddy to follow them. Maddy walked up to them, "okay Carlos. Speak.."
"Uhm... your dad was, uhm... taken into custody this morning.. about an hour or so ago..."
"What?!" Maddy barked, as she threw her hands up and did a semi-dramatic turn around."Wait... what does that mean?!" TK snapped.
"Uhm.. it means he was arrested.."
"What?! For what?"
"Arson, and a few other things I think..."
"That's bullshit! Can your dad do anything?!" Maddy asked in a fuss.
"Yeah! Call him and see if he can make sense of this.. he knows my dads not that guy! He talked to him all night!" TK implored of Carlos.
"Uh.. it wasn't all night. And uh, that's the thing. The rangers were the ones who arrested him...."
"WHAT?! You can't be serious..." Maddy rolled her eyes.
"Well I am!" Carlos barked back. He didn't yell at Maddy, so she started to tear up.
"Well what for?! The arsonist isn't my dad... he KNOWS that.."
"Does he?!"
"Carlos!" Maddy was taken aback.
"Are you saying my dads a criminal?!" TK's forehead vein bulged slightly, his biceps getting red from anger. If Maddy wasn't so angry herself, she would've been turned on.
Carlos didn't answer right away. "No... but my dad.."
"MY DAD didn't do ANYTHING! He's NOT a criminal..." TK snapped. "Are you saying my dads a criminal?"
Silence.
"Are you saying my dads a criminal?!" TK raged as he shoved Carlos backwards. Maddy moved closer to them, "Teek.." she said in a firm, yet quiet voice.
