Roles Reversed

The Shades

We walked through the town, and everything still seemed so gloomy and quiet, we saw some of the Officers in the distance walking, but they didn't seem to care to see us three together. We didn't know exactly where we were going but we just knew our objective was to find Aileen's boyfriend whatever the cost. We passed by many stores that were now destroyed, windows shattered, and roofs caved in, I truly wondered how far the storm traveled because we didn't see anything on social media about it being worldwide, but it doesn't help it seems like social media is at a standstill as well, it's very creepy.

"Wait hold on stop," Aileen says as she stops and Blaize and I do as well "What is it, hun?" I ask her as she looks down and right at her feet lay a pair of shades that she bends down to pick up and instantly you see tears welt up in her eyes "These are his shades... I know that they could be anyone's, but I know these are his because he wrapped a piece of my charm bracelet around the wings of his shades." She holds them up to show the red and black threaded braces looped around them and I frown a bit and walk over to comfort her.

"Hey now, no need to cry, we are going to find him, okay? He would want to hold onto something like that so he either dropped them trying to fight off the guards or he left them there as a sign that he was alright" I say as I rub her shoulder and she nods "Yeah... I just hope that he is okay because he isn't one to forget items that hold some form of sentiment." She sniffles and wipes her eyes then folds his shades up and puts them in her jacket pocket. "But I have faith he is okay, I mean it wouldn't make sense to kill him but spare me."

Blaize's eyes light up and he walks closer to us "So if they didn't kill him, which I don't believe they did, they probably started taking over a jail for the people they want to lock up, so we need to check our city jail" Aileen and I nod in agreement then we just kind of stand there looking bamboozled. "Soo... where is our city jail exactly?" I ask with a slight chuckle, and he chuckles too. "I know where it is, follow me, lovely ladies," he says high and mighty and starts to strut down the road lifting his arms high with each step Aileen, and I start to laugh as we walk behind him.

After walking for a bit, we came close to the city Jail, and we stopped walking. "So, what's our plan here? If he's actually in there we all can't walk in and say, hey there, do you mind freeing my friend's boyfriend from the cell?" I say and bat my eyelashes as if pleading cutely and Aileen and Blaize laugh. "Well obviously not, but if the roles are reversed then I guess I'm stepping up to the plate and putting my acting skills to the test," Blaize says and cracks his knuckles then rolls up his shirt and ties it up. "Hey Blue, do you have a hair tie in your backpack?" He asks and I nod taking off my backpack and reaching in to find a scrunchie that I hand to him "Ah yes a scrunchie, it adds even more to the flair" he says and ties his hair up into a high ponytail.

"Oh, also what is your boyfriend's name by the way?" Blaize asks Aileen. "His name is Jackson, but you can also call him Jack or Jacky so using a nickname may make whatever you come up with more believable as it may establish a history between you two, my poor baby may not even know what's going on, so I hope he plays along with it for the sake he gets out... hoping he is in there that is, I hope he is," Aileen says as her voice cracks a bit and I rub her back to comfort her. "Don't worry, I'll do my best to get him out if he's inside... actually hey just in case can I have the shades because if he sees that I have them maybe he will know you're with us?" Blaize asks and Aileen nods and reaches into her jacket pocket to hand him the shades which he holds in his hands.

"Thank you kindly, alright well, wish me luck," Blaize says as he approaches the entrance of the Jail and opens the door.
