Hollie sat on a bench in a police station, handcuffed to the bench while sitting next to Phillip and Ian Gallagher.
"I get convicted, I can't enlist," Ian said.
"What?" Lip asked.
"In the Marines."
"Good. I was planning on knee-capping you in your sleep to keep you out of Kahdar anyway," Lip joked.
Their words went silent in Hollie's mind as she restrained herself from crying. She couldn't help but think of what was going to happen. She knew her family was there.
"Phillip Gallagher," said the chief as he sat in front of the three. "No relation to our favorite overnight guest, Frank Gallagher I hope."
"Son," Lip said.
"Frank's kid? Felony bust. Getting a little late-start for a Gallagher, aren't you?"
"Slow study, I guess," Lip joked.
"And Ian. Another Frank progeny?"
"Afraid so."
"You always let your brother speak for you?" he asked.
"He's mute," Lip said sarcastically.
"I can talk," Ian said in a irritated voice.
"And Hollie Lockwood? You're very late. Lockwood's usually start between ten and anything older. Your father got out four days ago, too. Is this a family reunion?" he asked sarcastically.
She looked up at him from the ground, irritated. "I see, not a fan of the legacy," he said making her roll her eyes.
The next morning, Hollie had fell asleep with her head on Lip's shoulder when the chief came back with news. "Wakey-wakey," he said. She opened her eyes and leaned up straight.
"You got a bail," he told them.
"Really? Who?" Hollie asked.
"Not you. Just the boys."
Hollie's heart instantly sunk. "What?" Lip said. "It was only for the boys. Tony bailed you," he explained.
"I'm not leaving till she comes with," Lip refused.
"You gonna let your brother speak for you again?" "Yes," Ian said. He sighed, "I'll be right back." He stood up and left his seat.
A few minutes passed and the chief came back. "All of you can go," he released them.

Hollie, Lip, and Ian left the station and saw two sets of familys. The worried, caring, and loving Gallaghers. And the brutal, cruel, and upset Lockwoods.
"Fuck," Hollie mumbled. Her breath hitched. Her heart was pounding. Her palms were sweaty. And her stomache ached.
"Get your ass over here, Hollie!" her father yelled.
"That your dad?" Lip asked.
She nodded before slowly walking towards her family. "You ranaway, huh? Well, let's see if you change your mind," her dad said.
They got home and went inside their house. "Everyone go to your rooms. I wanna speak to Hollie," he demanded.
Everyone left, leaving Hollie and Daniel
together. He sat down at the table and signaled for her to sit down across from him. She sat down, feeling very confused and anxious.
