The policeman let go of my arm and left after my foster parent personally thanked him and apologized.
"Running away you idiot!," he screamed at me grabbing the phone, "I've had enough, I'm calling the agency!"
I went to my 'room' and began packing. I didn't have much, just my backpack, a flashlight, a Swiss army knife, and some clothes. I slung my backpack on my and pried at the window.
"Great, he locked it," I said sighing," Now I'll have to add vandalism to my record , again."
I picked up a lamp and smashed it into the window, shattering it and the window into pieces. I jumped out of the window and began to run. I heard my foster parents arguing in my old 'room.'
Five foster homes escaped, wait no that made six. Now to escape the cops, honestly one of the easiest parts.
