Opposites attract - Dally Winston

Chapter 21:

"You know what I want Gracie" she says as I turn around "you'll have to remind me" I say buying me time. She took a deep breath before taking out her heater, taking off the safety, and pointing it at me, "give me the money," she says in a demanding tone. 

I take a deep breath and a step forward "I don't have your money" I say through clenched teeth. "That's a bummer" she says, but before she could do anything else I lunged at her and punched her in the face.

I heard a cracking nose as she stumbled back dropping the heater. I quickly picked it up before she could make a move on me. I then pointed it at her. "Now look who has the gun" I say with a smile as I hold it up to her.

I heard the sound of sirens and the sound of an engine. I turn around to see a cop car coming up the driveway I was in. I look at back at Reid who has a huge smile on her face then at the gun I am pointing at her.

"Drop it!" one of the cops yell as they come out of their car I turn around and place the gun on the ground and hold my hands up in surrender. This did not look to good.

"Oh thank goodness you officers came here when you did! She was about to shoot me!" Reid yells shakily from behind me. I scoff at her acting skills and watch as the cops walk up to me and forcefully bring my hands behind my back.

I winced in pain as the cold handcuffs are tightened around my bare skin. One of them started talking on their radio as the other pushed me to the car.

They searched me and then pit me in the back seat. I was sure in a lot of trouble now.

On the way to the police station the officer driving spoke up "so first you don't pay for your meal at the Dingo, then you go to shoot some poor girl?" he asks. I didn't answer. I knew I didn't have to and I know if I did I would probably get into even more trouble than I already was in. 

"You people disgust me" I hear him spit out as he looks at me from the rear view mirror. I looked him in the eye through the mirror "you don't know me" I spoke harshly, he looks away "yeah well I know enough" he says as we pull into the station.

They weren't gentle taking me out they kept tugging, pushing, and pulling. I knew they were doing their job, but they didn't have to do it so gosh darn rough. 

We were turning a corner and the officer ran my shoulder into the wall "watch it!" I say in pain that was going to leave a mark. The officer didn't respond and he just brought me into a cell with a few other prisoners in it.

My breath hitched and my heart started to pound as I looked around in the cell. One smaller guy with an evil smile plastered on his face sat in the corner, one muscular guy who's muscles were bigger than my head was staring at me strangely, and the one sitting beside him looked like he wanted to kill someone.  

"Have fun" the officer says as he closes the cell door behind him leaving me alone with the other prisoners. 

I knew I would get a phone call soon, but I hoped it would be real soon, so I didn't have to stay in that cell any longer. 

I took a seat in the middle of small, long hair, creepy dude and bigger muscles than my head dude.

They all watched me and I just tried to ignore them.

*Officer Derche POV*

That was the first time I have seen a teenage girl go into a cell with adult men. I have seen many girls get in trouble by the law, but none of them actually wound up here. That's why I was so proud of myself for being the first officer to bring in one.

I hated people who broke the law especially to try and harm others, it disgusts me, so I wasn't going to be taking it easy on the prisoner.

I started looking through her file, but not much was there. Her name is Gracie Rose Striker, she is sixteen years old and lives with her grandma and grandpa, her mom passed away when she was thirteen, and her dad is living in New York. 

She had no other family members that were living her Aunt and Uncle passed away when they were very young and her god mother and father are in no condition to take care of her. 

I looked through the last few pages and found one at the very back. It says that Gracie Striker has a half brother named Mikey Keller. I decided I would run a back up check on everyone on her family and found out that her half brother Mikey had a huge criminal record. Arson, theft, assault, treason, attempt of kidnapping, and attempt of murder.

I got up from my chair to go get Gracie for her one phone call. I was waiting to see her scared face as she coward in the cell with some of the scariest, creepiest men we have brought in.

When I reached the cell I was completely and utterly surprised to see that Gracie was sitting in between 'skull crusher' and 'kinky mouse' (that's what they call themselves).

She didn't even look scared. In fact she was talking to them making them laugh. I stood their in disbelief as I watched. She looked up from skull crusher and over to me. I shook off the fact that she was being all buddy buddy with them and opened up the cell door "your phone call" I say harshly as I open the door.

"Sorry fella's, I got to go. It was nice meeting ya," she says as gets up from her spot and walks over to me, "bye Gracie!" they all yell as she steps out of the cell and into the phone call room.

*Gracie's POV*

Those guys weren't as bad as I thought they would be. Turns out they all just needed someone to talk to and someone to make them laugh. Turns out that someone was me, but I wasn't sad when I had to leave them for my phone call.

When I got into the phone room I was instructed on what would happen. I already knew who I was gonna call, but I knew they weren't gonna like it, I just couldn't go to my grandpa with the current position I am in with him.

I grab the phone and bring it to my ear and mouth and dial in the numbers. I hear the ringing go through and I grew more anxious as I waited for someone to answer "hello?" I hear. I couldn't make out who it was "is this Darry?" I ask "no this is Steve, who's this?" Steve asked "Steve. Steve this is Gracie can you put Darry on the phone?" I ask, "yeah, yeah sure just gimme a sec" I hear him say before everything went quite for a bit.

"Gracie?" I hear from the phone, "Darry?" I ask just to make sure it was Darry "yeah, what's up?" he asks. I take a deep breath and look at myself through the reflection of the glass windows "I need you to come bail me outta jail. I know I'm in no position to be asking you this, bu-" I was cut off. 

"Sure, yeah, I'll come get ya. What did you do?" he asks "well I went for breakfast out at the Dingo and didn't have money, so I ran, and then I got caught holding up a loaded gun at someone" I say ashamed of myself.

I hear a sigh on the phone "I'll explain more when you get here. I promise" I say playing with the curly cord of the phone there was a long pause before I heard him speak up again "you ok?" he asks. I immediately smiled "yeah... yeah I'm fine. Thank's Darry" I say, "ok, I'll be right over"he says, and then he hung up.

I hung up the phone and put my head in my hands. What was I gonna tell the gang?
