Campbell's POV

I sigh as I walk downstairs and into the kitchen to see Marsha drinking her cup of coffee like usual, I smile towards her before going to the fridge and getting some orange juice

"Hey Marsha" I say nicely as I pour myself a cup and put the carton of OJ back into the fridge

"Good morning Campbell....uh...come here sweetheart, I have to talk to you" She says and I frown but walk to the kitchen table and sit down across from her

"What's goin on Marsha" I ask confused and she sighs

"Campbell uh....do you want the good news or the bad news first" Marsha says and I feel my anxiety build up a bit

"Good news...then bad" I say and she nods

"Well...I would like to say that I have grown to love you as my daughter....your father....well Andrew..was never the parent you needed and I'd like to be that parent if you'd let me...I won't ever try to replace your mother but...I hope I can be a good person in your life" Marsha says and I smile

"You are...what is this leading too" I ask a little hesitant

"Well...I would like to....formally adopt you..as my child....I know your about to turn 18 but....it is wanted by me...and needed...by you" Marsha explains and I frown

"I'd...love to be adopted by you Marsha but....what's going on...can we get to the bad news" I ask as I feel the energy shift

"Campbell uh...your father....uh...both of your fathers were arrested last night...and the charges carry a lot of jail time....and since your mother is no longer with us....I have to adopt you now..even though I was planning on it....now it has to happen in order for you to stay out of the foster care system" Marsha explains and I feel my heart sink

"B-but....how...what happened...I mean cheating and betraying aren't illegal so what were the charges" I ask confused and devastated about Cal

"Andrew was arrested for murder...of a man named Custer....and Cal....was arrested for sleeping with a minor girl....I'm so sorry Campbell I....I just wish that the good news wasn't surrounded by bad" Marsha says and I lean back in my chair

Custer.....WAIT...where's Fez

"Marsha....where did this happen" I ask and Marsha sighs

"I don't know sweetheart...but...just try and take this information slowly, this is a lot and I don't want you to think your alone" Marsha says and I just nod

We talk some more about the adoption and I opt to not eat and just call every friend Fez has and calling the house over and over but to no avail on finding Fez, I even tried Ashtray and Faye's phone

I sigh and drop my phone on the bed defeatedly, I run my hands through my hair and tears stream down my face

Where is Fez...who snitched on Cal.....I mean it's not right but I was just getting my relationship back with him....he apparently didn't know about Jules....but it was still wrong....fuck fuck fuck

My mental rant stops as my phone rings, I pick it up and see it's an unknown number causing me to scramble to pick my phone up and answer it

"Hello" I say over the phone

"This is a call from the East Highland correctional facility....this call is from Fez" I hear an automated voice says causing my heart to jump

"Hello" I hear Fez says tiredly over the phone

"Fez....dear god man....are you ok, what happened" I rant but stop when I hear cries and sniffles over the phone

"Campbell man...fuck...uh....Custer was workin with the feds man....your dad killed Mouse and wanted to frame you...Ash is dead man....i won't see you for a while...take care of yourself man and don't talk to your dad bro...I mean it" Fez says before the line goes dead
