After hearing about Lip and Ian getting arrested, Gwen and Pete rushed down to the police station and met up with Fiona, Debbie and Jasmine. They sat in the waiting room, Debbie sitting in between her two older sisters, Jasmine sat on Fiona's other side, while Pete sat on Gwen's other side, holding her hand, squeezing in reassurance, as she and Fiona bounce their legs, anxiously waiting for news about their brothers.

As they waited, Debbie took both of her sister's hands and held them, in an attempt to comfort them, making Gwen smile, gratefully as she kissed her little sister's forehead, softly.

Jasmine came back, carrying a tray of coffee in her hands, "No lattes or anything, but they did have hot chocolate for Debbie." She said as she handed each of them their drinks.

"Thanks." Fiona thanked her, while Gwen and Pete just nodded their heads in 'thanks', "And thanks for driving, but you don't have to stay." Fiona told her, as Jasmine sat back down, beside her, shaking her head.

"Oh, it's cool. I'll hang for a bit." Jasmine said.

Gwen noticed Tony walk by, trying to avoid their gaze, as he approached the front desk, "Tony! Did you see them?" She questioned as they all stood up and walked up to him.

Tony signed as he turned to face them, "They're still in the back."

"When can we see them?" Fiona asked.

"If Lip's not charged as an adult, you can see them in court tomorrow." He informed them, making Gwen even more anxious as she felt her boyfriend squeeze her hand, in an attempt to reassure her that everything's gonna be all right, even though he wasn't so sure himself.

"Charged as an adult?" Jasmine questioned.

"he's 17, they may charge him with felony grand theft auto." Tony explained, making Gwen shake her head, anxiously.

"Th-there's no way that Lip would steal a car. He's smarter than that." Gwen stuttered out.

"And Ian doesn't drive." Fiona added.

"If they didn't steal it..." Tony started.

"They didn't steal it!" Gwen and Fiona cut him off.

"If they didn't, then they have to tell the detectives who gave them the car and agree to testify." Tony continued in a grim tone, "If they don't give up a name, Lip could do five years." He walked away, this made Gwen even more worried and anxious, knowing her brothers would never give up a name. Gallaghers don't snitch, she thought, as she started to bite her nails, an old habit of hers, and Pete noticed and tried to help calm her down.

----------------------------------------------

Gwen, Pete, Debbie and Jasmine sat back down, while Fiona walked away, saying she needed to make a call. Gwen suspected it was Jimmy-Steve, he must have been the one who gave Lip and Ian the stolen car. It's the only logical explanation.

"That fucking Jimmy-Steve has become nothing but trouble to our family." Gwen grumbled, quietly, so only her boyfriend could hear her, as he nodded his head.

"I know. If I ever see that weasel again..." Pete whispered back but was interrupted when they saw Fiona walking back over to them, shaking her head.

"No luck?" Gwen questioned as Fiona sat back down.

Fiona shook her head, "No. He won't answer."

---------------------------------------------------

After an hour or so of sitting in the waiting room, Jasmien checked her watch and signed. Fiona and the young couple were half-asleep, while Debbie laid across her older sisters' laps, as Pete, gently, stroked her hair as her head rested on Gwen's lap.
