Tears I Cry

Chapter 4: Condemmed To Death

The agent took me to a small office with comfy chairs and a coffee table. The lady and I just aat in our own places until she broke the silence.

"Well dear, being a mother, I want to protect you from the truth, but I can't."

"What?"

"The FBI don't believe your story. They have dealt with criminals who have said they were framed before, and they think you are doing the same."

"If I wanted to kill someone," I said angrily with tears in my eye "I would have killed everyone in my house!"

"Oh dear, I am so sorry."

"I doubt it."

"Darlin-"

"Don't call me that, only my mom can call me that, and she's dead, so no one can call me that!" She blurted.

"Okay... Barney... I will let you talk to your buddy Sam for a while, but after that we gotta talk more.

"Okay..." she said weakly.

She only had to wait a minute before Sam came in. His eyes were watery and his cheeks were puffy. He had been crying...

"Why were you crying?" She questions as he hugs her tightly, "Your squishin me!"

"They... uh, they..." he starts to cry again.

"What is it?" but she can already tell. "death row..."

"Yeah..."

"Sam... we have to solve it!"

"What? What do we have to solve?"

"My parents murder."

Sam stares at me with a questioning look.

"We can solve the case Sam."

"How can we? You will be in a jail cell until you get... you know..."

"Sam, I don't know..." I think about it for a while until a flashback happens.

*Flashback*

"...being a mother, I want to protect you..."

*Present Time*

"We ask the woman who talked to me, she is a mother, and I am most certain she would ask her higher power to take pity on us and let us solve the case."

"How do you know?"

"They think we are dumb kids who can't do anything, they would say why not, they won't be able to solve it." She says using her best adult impression.

"Then lets solve this case Ms. Holmes."

Then, laughing for a minute, leaning against each other on the couch, Barney thinking about her first case, and Sam thinking about Barney.
