Techno had fallen asleep with the book in hand as he slowly woke up, not seeing Wilbur in his bed as he heard talking downstairs. He decided to see what was going on as he quickly got dressed before standing at the top of the stairs listening. "I found him on the street so I took him in and now we're helping him, I don't see the problem here officer?" He heard Wilbur say. *Officer?!* Techno thought before slowly going downstairs. "Ah, pink hair with marks all over their face, just the person we need for this" the officer said as Wilbur and Phil suddenly turned around and looked at him. Techno froze until he saw Wilbur give him an 'it's ok' smile whilst he held his hand out to his side, showing Techno it was ok to stand next to him. Techno slowly moved forwards before standing slightly behind Wilbur. "So, the story is that the 'neighbours' have seen a random kid living here, you, and they're concerned about you" the officer explained. "By neighbours he means the nosy bitch across the road" Phil snarled. "Dad" Wilbur laughed. "What- sorry" Phil laughed back.

They both stopped as the officer started talking again, "what is your name kid?". "Techno" Wilbur answered for him. "Sorry but I'm gonna need clear answers from the kid" the officer interrupted Wilbur. "T-" Techno managed to get out before realising he couldn't speak, it was happening again as he sighed. "Can you speak a bit louder please, I need clear answers" the officer suddenly said. Techno then realised his hands and legs were shaking and he couldn't breathe well. "Can you be a bit more patient" Wilbur argued. "Will" Phil said, looking at Wilbur. "What?! Don't rush him" Wilbur said, looking at Phil before looking back at the cop. "Well I'm sorry but I don't have all day, there have been many-" "I didn't ask now please can I answer everything for him" Wilbur interrupted the cop. "Your son is a bit rude don't you think?" The cop said to Phil. "Excuse me?!" Phil suddenly said, his expression turning from confused to anger. "I mean he's just-" "oh no I heard you loud and clear, you say anything about my kids again and you will be hurt, police officer or not" Phil said sternly to the cop.

"Yes sir" the cop smiled sarcastically. Phil only sighed at him before looking back at Techno, seeing he wasn't doing so well. "Wilbur bring Techno somewhere else" he ordered, "I'll make sure this cop learns some manners without physical violence". "Yes sir" Wilbur said, making fun of the cop. "Come on" he whispered to Techno as he put a gently arm around him before leading him away. "Are you alright?" he asked. "I-I'm really s-sorry I just don't know what happened" Techno said, sudden tears breaking through, *why am I crying?!* he thought. "It's ok don't worry, no one's mad I promise, you're ok, you're alright" Wilbur reassured him, "take a deep breath in" he said calmly. Techno nodded as he breathed deeply in through his nose. "And out through your mouth". Techno did as he was told, suddenly feeling a lot better, "t-that worked a lot" he said out loud. "That's good" Wilbur smiled.

"Are you ready to go back? If not then that's completely fine, we can stay here for slightly longer" he said. "I-I think I'm ready" Techno lied completely, *why did I say that...? I'M NOT READY AT ALL?!* he thought as he unconsciously followed Wilbur back over to Phil and the cop, standing back slightly behind Will. "You're back, good. Now I just need your name and I have some other questions" the officer said, holding a little clip board and pen. "T-Techno" Techno finally but barely managed to get out, *I can't do this without stuttering* he thought. "Ok cool, last name?" The officer said, looking at Techno with an almost threatening look. "I-I don't know s-sorry" Techno stuttered, his voice getting quieter and quieter. "What? Can you speak up please" The cop said. "He said he doesn't know, want me to yell it down your ear?!" Wilbur suddenly said, knowing Techno was using him as a sort of shield since he was behind him. "Alright then" the cop sighed, writing a little cross on the clipboard before reading out the next question.

"Techno do you know these people?". "What kinda questions are these?!" Wilbur laughed. Techno nodded with a small yes, feeling his hands shaking again. Wilbur noticed as he looked down at Technos hands before looking at his face, he was biting his lip slightly from anxiety and he wouldn't look away from the cop. "Wanna hold my hand?" He whispered to him. "N-no it's fine" Techno whispered back. "Ok, you're doing good don't worry" Wilbur reassured him. "Techno is it true that Wilbur here found you on the streets" the police asked again. Techno nodded, finding it a lot easier to nod than speak. "Techno I'm gonna need a clear vocal answer" the cop said. "Y-yes" Techno stuttered, clearly nervous. "Where were you before living on the streets?" The police asked more questions. "A-an orphanage" Techno said, *WHY AREN'T I LYING IM SUCH AN IDIOT!* he thought. "The orphanage near here?" The cop asked, hearing a quiet yes.
