Trouble

03

The next morning I wake up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. I roll out of bed and throw my hair up before walking downstairs.

"Hey, good morning Iz" my dad says throwing pancakes on a plate for me, and He was in his cop uniform.

"Morning" I say sitting at the counter. "When are we leaving?"

"20 minutes. Better get ready." He says. I put my plate in the sink and the back door swings open.

"Hey, sorry I'm late I had to work a double last night" a lady says walking inside. She had long ginger hair, wearing some nurse scrubs and was caring a tray with 3 coffees.

"Vivian, this is Isabella. And Izzy, this is Vivian. My girlfriend." My dad says taking a coffee.

"Girlfriend?" I ask with wide eyes.

"Yeah, girlfriend."

"It's really nice to meet you Izzy. Your dad has told me a lot about you" Vivian says handing me a coffee.

"Nice to meet you too. I'm going to go get ready" I say running back upstairs. I take my hair out and brush it into a high ponytail. I do some light makeup and sit down on my bed. I pull out my laptop and google "Miguel Diaz", like Robby said earlier.

A link pops up, showing a article about west valley high, and the school fight. It sounded awful, one kid is in the hospital.

I close my computer, waiting to read more later and I walk downstairs.

"Are you ready to leave?" My dad asks.

"Yeah, where did Vivian go?" I ask.

"She left for work. Like I need to" he says. We both walk outside and get into the car.

The drive was long and quiet. When we got there we went straight in.

"I need to go, Ill meet up with you after lunch?" My dad asks.

"Sure" I say walking down to the same room as yesterday. I walk in and see someone slam Robby into some lockers and onto the floor. Everyone starts kicking him, I don't know what to do. Suddenly a bunch of guards come in and pull the boys off of Robby.

"Robby are you okay?" I ask as I kneel next to him and help him sit up. He was panting hard and holding his side.

"I'm fine" he says looking up to me. We lock eyes for about two seconds before a officer comes in and grabs Robby. I stand up and walk outside the room when I run into my dad.

"Izzy, are you okay? Where you there at the fight?" He says frantically.

"I'm okay dad, I just saw the end of the fight." I say storming away.

"Izzy, Isabella!" My dad yells.

"What, dad?" I ask sarcastically.

"I'm working here late tonight. You can stay with me, I can show you how it is on this side, or you can go home. Vivian is staying the night with me." My dad says calmly, and walks away.

I quickly run up to him and walk in front of him. "It'd be fun to talk with you for a little bit"

"Okay Iz!" He says a bit too excitedly "I'm getting Taco Bell, want anything?" My dad asks as he takes out his phone.

"S-sure"

"Same thing?"

"Yeah" I say walking away.

"Wait, Izzy. We're on lockdown right now, stay with me until the tacos come" my dad says waving me over.

"Okay. But dad, can you do me one favor?" I ask.

"Sure sweetie, what's up?"

"Can we also get something for this one guy in here? He's getting a lot of shit and he's going through-" I start but my dad cuts me off.

"A boy? Is it that one guy from the fight earlier?" He asks.

"Maybe..." I say trailing off.

"No way"

I stand there trying to think of something, then it hit me. "I'll tell mom about Vivian."

"Are you trying to threaten me?" My dad asks crossing his arms.

"Depends...Is it working?"

"Yeah a bit maybe"

I smile and walk back to the wreck room with my dad. We both sit down at a table and my dad takes out his phone to order food and I take mine out to check some messages.

I see that I got one from my mom, which I instantly replied too.

Mom- how's it going up there?
Me- good, I'm with dad at work rn
Mom- you're at the detention center?!
Me- yeah but it's fine. I'm just observing
Mom- Okay, be safe and Call me later okay Iz?
Me- of course

My phone then shut off. Shit, it died. I sneak out of the room I was in, and walk over to the back room. I wanted to explore. I swing open the door and see a bunch of filing cabinets. I look at each one, G, H, I, J, K. Here it is. I open the drawer and look for the name Keene. It didn't take long to find it, but when I did, I didn't put it down until I was done.
