Chapter 47: She looked at me in understanding
"Justin and John are the closet friends of us all" she muttered "How did I not know this? Hell, I knew I should have come out tonight" Then the police came through the door of the pub, they instantly began to break up the fight.
All of the bystanders had dispersed giving the popo the full view of Justin and John. "Now I am going to spend my evening in the local precinct, helping those two idiots" I muttered Hannah laughed at me, "Yep, it sure looks like it" The police finally got a hold on both Justin and John and were dragging them away from each other, and then they cuffed them.
"Ah, shit" I muttered, "Excuse me!" I called out "Can we help you miss?" "Yeah, well I bloody hope so. Where are you taking them?" I asked "Local precinct, about a five-minute drive" "Don‟t suppose you can give me a lift?" "Your family or friend?"
"Well, that one", I said pointing to Justin, "is my boyfriend, and the other is the father of my kids" "Wow, sounds like a drama show" "You have no idea buddy, but can you give me a lift? I don‟t have a car with me." The cops looked at each other, "Yeah I guess, it just means that one of us will sit in the back with these two" "Ok, I will."
"Ah, miss are you sure? It might be safer if one of us sits back with them and you sit in the front." "Don‟t worry, they won‟t hurt me. They don‟t have the balls" Both Justin and John were looking at me like I was mad, but they both knew me well and I was pissed off at them. They knew that I would kill them right now.
Finally, the cops agreed and we all headed down to the station. The ride was short and silent. When we got to the station both boys were put into a holding cell, while I went to make a phone call myself. "Hello Em speaking" "Hi Sophia, its Amelia"
"Hey beautiful, I didn't think that I would hear from you for a while. Having fun?" "If you count sitting in a police station that has a really bad smell a good time, then hell yes" "Police station, just how much fun did you and Justin have?"
"None, that's how much. Justin got into a fight with John so now I am down here because the bar owner called the cops" "Whoa, wait up, Justin got in a fight with John, as in the triplet‟s dad John?" "Yes, the one and only" "Okay, you have had an interesting night. What can I do to help?" "I need that checkbook of mine; it is in my bedside table drawer"
"Are you bailing them out?" "It looks like it. I know that John‟s folks wouldn't and Justin so damn secretive I bet he calls a random stranger to come to bail him out but they won‟t be able to because that will give away his secret identity" I said harshly. I was pissed off. "Ok, we will be there in a few.
Bye" As soon as I hung up the phone, I remembered the last time I was at a police station. Ironically it was to pick up John that time. Now I was picking up John and Justin. Can my life get any easier? I walked up to the lady behind the glass.
"Excuse me could you tell me what the bail is for both John and Justin? They were the guys that were just bought in?" "Sure honey, just let me see" she was searching around her computer for a while before she found it.
"Ok, you are looking at about $300 each," she said kindly. I sighed and did a mental calculation. I think I had $700 in my savings account. I looked over at the woman behind the desk, "I can pay bail for them both, and I just have to wait for my checkbook. A friend is bringing it now".
She looked at me in understanding. It took Sophia about half an hour to get to the station and when she walked in I could tell that she looked tired. "Sorry it took so long," she said as soon as she saw me "Nah, that‟s cool. You ok?"
"Yeah, just tired as hell" "mammy! Sophia said a bad word" called Mae "Yes, she did", I looked over at Sophia who had a half-amused half exhausted look on her face, "Sophia that was very bad of you"
I said concealing a smirk "Sorry Amelia" came the amused reply I took my checkbook from Sophia and went to pay the bail money for both the idiots, and went to sit back down with Sophia and the four kids.
