"Depends if you make more trouble and how bad a mood we're in." The officer clicked the cuffs shut. Grasping Darvel's arm, he dragged him down the streets towards the nearest jail.

Darvel bit his lip, wondering what he was going to do now, and what Bryin would do without him. Looking around, he also wondered if Angel was still somewhere close by or not.

Angel watched, frowning to herself, as Darvel was dragged off. She didn't move to help- because everyone knew that taking on the PC was one of the stupidest things an orphan and a thief could do- but for some reason, she didn't leave. She should leave, she knew. This was none of her business anymore, and it was good that he was out of her hair.
But . . . he had a brother, didn't he? A brother he was trying to take care of. A brother who should at least know what had happened . . .
Well. She could find the brother. And she could tell him. And then she'd decide where to go from there. How hard could it be?
~~~
Reaching the jail, the officer handed Darvel off to another officer. The second officer regarded Darvel wearily and dragged him to a stark sort of anteroom before the actual cells. "Turn around so I can see your number, boy."

Darvel did as he was told, hating himself for letting things get to this point in the first place. And he couldn't stop thinking about how helpless Bryin would be on his own. Not to mention Bryin wouldn't have any idea of what had happened either.

The officer copied Darvel's number down onto a form, then onto a chart in the corner. "First time in here?"
-------
It didn't take long- relatively speaking- for Angel to find out about Bryin. He'd run into trouble with a gang, one of her friends said. And then another added that the boy had ended up with the former Prince- Cale Freeson. Which, Angel supposed, was good. It meant that Bryin wouldn't expect her to do something about Darvel, and he wouldn't need her to get him out of some sort of trouble. And it meant that Bryin would be easy to find- most street children, after all, knew where Cale Freeson lived.
Still, that didn't mean she had to like this . . . So she approached the house warily, and knocked on the door with equal care.

Cale's head swiveled at the knock on the door and he set Jo down gently. "I'll be right back, hon."
Making his way to the door, Cale made sure his knife was where he could reach it. As soon as he opened the door though, he relaxed. "Can I help you sweetheart?"

Darvel nodded, looking very uncomfortable. "Yeah..."
--------
Bryin glanced at the door, looking pretty bored. But, he wasn't bored enough to actually go over there. So instead he just watched Cale open the door.

"Ya can not call me that," Angel retorted automatically. She tried to peer past Cale. "Is Bryin here? I got somethin' ta tell 'im."
----
"Guessed." The officer turned back. "You're lucky. Found a cell with only one other person in it already." He grabbed the chain of Darvel's cuffs again and steered him towards the door into the cellblock.

"Mmm. There's a Bryin here." Cale squinted at her, moving to block the doorway with his large frame. "You his girl?"

Angel gave him an utterly disgusted look. "I never met 'im. But 'e might wanna hear 'bout what 'appened to 'is brother."

Post by Idk323 on Jan 12, 2016 2:29:07 GMT
Darvel rolled his eyes. "Oh, yeah. Lucky..."

Bryin stared at the doorway curiously, but still stayed where he was.

"Jus' making sure, doll. I ain't gonna have no lovers tiff in my 'ouse." Cale laughed at disgust and then frowned. "What's with his brother?"

The officer huffed. "Could be plenty worse, boy. I have cells with three or four men in 'em." He reached the cell in question and banged on the door. "Back against the wall in there!"
----
Angel crossed her arms. "'E's in trouble. Lemme in an' I'll tell ya both."

"Whatever..." Darvel mumbled. He couldn't stop thinking about all the places he would rather be, and as a result, it was making him more irritated than normal.
------
Bryin sighed and made his way to the door. Attempting to peek over Cale's shoulder, he tilted his head. "What's going on?"

The officer unlocked the cell, letting the door open, and pushed Darvel inside. "There. You two try to get along." With that, he pulled the cell door shut and walked off.
-----
Angel eyed him- or what she could see of him. He did look like Darvel . . . "Are ya Bryin? Darvel's brother?"

Cale stood aside, his screening done. If Bryin wanted to talk to her, he wasn't about to stand in the way. "Alright, alright."

Post by Idk323 on Jan 12, 2016 2:58:52 GMT
Darvel frowned, and glanced around. "Guess I'm really stuck here..." He muttered to himself.
------
Bryin nodded to Angel with a small frown. "Yes... Why? How did you know our names?"

Angel stepped inside- not that she wanted to be inside, but she wasn't going to stand on the street to deliver bad news. "'Cause Darvel told me 'is and 'e told me yours. That ain't 'mportant. 'Mportant bit is that Darvel got caught by PC, and they dragged 'im off, and I thought ya might wanna know."

At the mention of the PC, Jo crept closer to Cale, and slipped her hand into his, leaning against his wounded leg.
(It was the leg right?)
Eli's attention shifted from the sleeping Ella in his arms to focus intensely on the conversation at the door.

Cale winced and glanced down at Jo, but he didn't move her. Instead he tried to comfort her as best he could. "The PC got him?"

Bryin stared at Angel, frowning deeply. "Are you being serious? What happened?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Leilani Sunblade on Jan 12, 2016 22:09:14 GMT
Angel nodded impatiently. "Course I'm serious. I wouldn't joke 'bout somethin' like that. He was tryin' ta nick some food-" Never mind why- "An' an officer saw 'im an' grabbed 'im an' dragged 'im off. Sorry."

Jo looked hopefully up at Cale, holding up her free arm to try and get him to pick her up.

Cale picked Jo up, shifting his weight to his good leg with a wince. Then he turned to Bryin. "He a first time offender?"

Post by Idk323 on Jan 12, 2016 23:10:46 GMT
Bryin nodded at Cale, still frowning. "Yes, but..." He glanced back at Angel. "Why was he trying to steal food?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Leilani Sunblade on Jan 12, 2016 23:20:34 GMT
"'Caaaaauuuse food's a good thing to have?" Angel suggested, edging back towards the door. She really didn't want to answer that question- because if the answer was "Because I stole his money", then that meant this was her fault. And if this was her fault . . .

"Should've just come here. Everyone knows I have food." Cale scratched behind his ear with an absent frown.

Bryin shook his head and crossed his arms. "But... I just... I don't understand..." Huffing, he glued his gaze to the floor. "And why did he think he was allowed to get himself caught like that? Didn't he even realize he was going to be leaving me all alone?"
|

Post by jliessa44 on Jan 12, 2016 23:47:58 GMT
"I'm not sure his intention was to get caught there, little sir." Cale chuckled lightly.

Angel huffed back at him. "'E couldn't really stop it. 'Appened pretty fast, and 'e didn't know what ta do really. An' 'e was doin' th' thing in th' first place for ya- kept talkin' about 'ow 'e 'ad ta take care a' ya."
