Scarlette's POV
"You know cops aren't bad people right?" Officer Charles asked shoving his fists into his pockets.
"Some of them. Quite a few of your cops are bad people." I answered keeping my focus on my feet.
"No not quite a few, just a few and they aren't my cops. Those are the racist cops and we make sure every cop here does not have any problems with a certain sex, race or religion." Officer Charles stated and I just rolled my eyes.
"That's not what I meant by 'your' cops. I just mean there are bad ones out there so I don't exactly like any of you." I replied with a small frown.
"Well we are the ones who keep you safe. Without us you probably never would've been found and your dad would've never gone to jail." he said looking over at me to make sure I was paying attention.
"Do you seriously have to bring him up?" I asked in disgust.
"It was just an example Scarlette." he questioned but it sounded more like the start of an argument.
"Well use a different one. I don't think you understand exactly what happened. My dad killed my mom that I only knew for about 3 weeks. I will never forgive him for that so I want him out of my life and never brought up again." I said starting to get mad at the thought of him.
"I need you to calm down Scarlette. I understand that he committed a murder and the victim was someone you loved dearly but don't take that out on the people trying to keep you safe." Officer Charles said holding me in place to look him in the eyes.
"Just take me in for interrogation." I ordered wiggling away from his grasp.
He sighed before grabbing my arm lightly and taking me inside.

Grayson's POV
"Last thing we need before you can leave is we need your mom." the officer who just interrogated me said.
"Why?" I asked a little annoyed from all the questioning.
"To see if she wants full custody over Scarlette or if we need to find another relative for her to stay with." the officer answered packing up some of his papers and taking out new ones.
I tried not to scream when he said this so I quickly replied, "Can I call her and tell her?"
"We've already got that handled we just figured you would want to be here for this." the officer answered and I nodded my head.
"Yeah of course. Can I go wait outside until my mom gets here?" I asked sitting up more and fixing my shirt.
"You can go to the hallway or the main waiting room but not outdoors. We cannot allow you to leave the building until you are in adult hands." the officer answered opening up the door for me to walk out of.
"Okay that's fine. Oh um what room is Scarlette in?" I asked before he could close the door.
"She is two doors down on the left side. You cannot enter the room but you can-" he started but I butted in quickly.
"But I can sit in the hallway. Yeah, yeah, I get it." I said waving my hand for him to go away.
A few moments later the door opened and Scarlette walked out of the room.
"Hey!" I said happily and I pulled her in for a huge hug.
"Hi!" she replied just as happy sounding.
"How long were you waiting for me?" she asked sitting down beside me.
"Just a few minutes, not long at all." I answered with a smile.
"Did they tell you too?" she asked noticing the huge smile plastered on my face.
"About you maybe being able to live with me?" I asked and her eyes widened.
"Wait what?" she asked excitedly. "I mean't they weren't taking me to jail. Are you serious?" Scarlette asked sitting up and hitting my arm lightly.
"Oh my gosh!" a voice said from the other end of the hallway. My mom was standing there with Ethan. I got up and ran over to them along with Scarlette.
"Don't worry we will do as much as we can Scar." my mom said rubbing both of our cheeks before going into the room followed by her lawyer.
"God don't ever fucking do that again!" Ethan said hitting my arm.
"Eh - hem." an officer said from down the hall. "Watch your language please."
"Sorry." Ethan replied before turning his attention back to me.
"Ow." I said grabbing my arm tightly.
Ethan smiled then pulled me in for a huge hug. We hugged for a good minute then he surprisingly did the same to Scarlette.
"Next time ask before you steal my brother." Ethan ordered and we all giggled.
"Don't worry I will." Scarlette replied with a smile.
We waited for about half an hour then finally my mom and the lawyer walked out of the room. Scarlette, Ethan and I rose from our seats waiting for someone to say something.
"We are going to court next week." my mom said.
-Sorry this is a shorter chapter but I want to explain more in the next chapter and I like cliff hangers. Trust me you don't know what's about to happen, mostly because I don't either.-
