"I'm innocent I tell you." Phineas said as he got pushed by the officer
"Keep quiet." The police officer said
Phineas was forced to sit down on a chair next to the head's table.
"Okay what happened this time?" The head asked
"Attempted robbery,"
"But, but I didn't." Phineas said
"Shush."
"How will I get out now?"
Isabella reached the jail and saw that Phineas was behind the bars.
"Isabella what am I going to do now?" Phineas asked
"Phineas, I'll help you. I promise." She said as she held the metal bars, "Just stay put, and I'll look for a way to get you out of here."
"O-okay."
No POV
Ferb sat on the couch and flipped the TV open. He changed from one channel to another.
Ferb said, "Nothing's good on TV nowadays."
He was about to close the TV when he accidentally hit the channel up button instead of the off button, then the channel showed Phineas in jail.
"What made you do something like that?" One reporter asked
"I didn't-."
"Stop! Go away." Isabella said
Ferb watched in full confusion.
"Why would he do anything like that?" Ferb himself
"Who would Ferb?" Candace, who apparently didn't know anything about Phineas in jail, asked
"Phineas, he's in jail." Ferb replied
"Phineas is in jail!" Candace yelled catching the attention of the whole family who were in the dining room
"What did you say
Candace?" Lawrence asked
"Um, mom, dad, Phineas is in jail, in Mexico, as in right now." Candace said in a concerned tone, "So now could you bust him?"
Linda groaned then said, "Candace, you already busted Phineas and Ferb four years ago."
"Anyway, why is he in jail?" Lawrence asked
Ferb read the words typed down on the lower portion of the screen.
"It says here that Phineas attempted robbery at the Garcia-Shapiro's, trespassed, and he was said to, somehow, kidnap his daughter." Ferb paused, "I'm surprised he wasn't arrested for stealing."
"What did he steal?" Linda asked
"Isabella's heart." Ferb replied
Candace put an annoyed frown then said, "Not the right time to say cheesy pick-up lines Ferb."
Anna's POV
I woke up from the bad dream I had, though it seemed too real for a dream. I pushed the memory out of my thoughts and decided to go to Grandma for a talk.
I crossed the street then saw that the lights were still open. They must still be up. I knocked on the door twice then grandma opened it.
"Oh my,"
Her expression was as if they were hiding something from me. I entered then all of them looked at me.
"Um Ferb, you take this one." Aunt Candace said
"Why me? I climbed the house." Uncle Ferb complained
Grandma brought me to the kitchen then spoke.
"What's going on grandma?" I asked
"Well your father, he's in..." she paused, "jail."
"What's he doing there?" I asked
"The reporters said that daddy attempted robbery, trespassed, and he could've kidnapped his daughter." She replied
"But I'm his only daughter... am I?" I asked
"Yes, yes you are. And you were the one they were talking about, the trespassed house was yours too." She added
"I don't believe the media, they always lie to people to make someone look bad." I said with my arms crossed
"Yes, that's true. Now what are we going to do about it?" Grandma asked
"Why me?" I asked back
She put a hand on my shoulder then said, "Because you're a Flynn. Let's see what you can do. And maybe you could win a Nobel Peace prize like your father."
We went back to the living room only to find Aunt Candace and Uncle Ferb still bickering.
"Ferb, Candace, stop now." Grandma groaned though nobody listened.
She walked over to them and put one hand on their mouths.
"Listen."
I turned the TV's volume up and listened at the current news report.
"Look, Phineas didn't do any of that. I swear. And how will he kidnap his daughter if we don't even know where she is? Here's the proof for that." Mom showed the note that I left in my bedroom, then after being read by the reporter, she seemed to believe a bit
"Hm, and you know that because?" The reporter asked, "And why were you with him in the first place?"
"Well I was looking for my daughter. She, uh, ran away." Mom replied
"But I didn't, I went here to get help." I said
"Get help about what?" Uncle Ferb asked
"Well first of all, I need to get dad out of jail." I paused, looked at the TV then sighed, "second, mom's a battered wife."
