Colby goes back to his normal face
The rest of the group allows Tarron and I in
We stand with them
And I know both Tarron and I
Feel protected
Colby opens the door
No hesitation this time
He casually opens it up
On the other side
Are the same police men
From the last time
How ironic?
They glance once at Colby
And then back to Tarron and I
And sigh
"I don't know what's gotten into you, son. But, this just ain't right." The officer shakes his head
And both push further in
Pete following
My assumptions are that Kate will come in later
The officers look around
Looking at everyone
To analyze the scene
He turns to Colby
"You have a restraining order." He reminds him
"And you have two little boys that are in the wrong hands." Colby snaps back
The officer is more confused than offended by the comment
I can't blame him
"Yeah, I can see that." The officer responded
Motioning towards everyone who lived in the Safe House
"You know what I meant." Colby's voice softened
So did his eyes
The officer sighed once again
"Son-"
"I'm not your son." Colby interrupted him
The officer took a second to restart
"Cole? Right?" He asked
"Colby." Colby narrowed his eyes
"Colby," The officer said, "We can talk about what you think you know when we get these boys back home."
"Answer me this, Officer. What is the purpose of a home?" Colby asked
This confused all of us
Even the two officers
Perhaps even Colby himself
"Shelter." The officer replied proudly
"Couldn't you say, safety?" Colby asked
"Of course." The officer nodded
"Then why are you taking them back?"
The room went silent
Colby was getting his point across
And everyone knew he was serious
I've never seen him like this
I'm not sure if his friends have
But this is new
"Sir, this boy is crazy! He has no idea what he's talking about!" Pete stated
The officer snapped back
"Alright, alright!" The other one cleared the room of thoughts, "We just came here because we got a call that Mr. Ross had lost his son and suspected he had been abducted. Ironic enough, we find the boy with you." The second officer sent glances at Colby
He send some back
"I wasn't abducted." I blurt out
I don't think
I just say it
I can see the fire burning in Pete's eye
And I regret it
I regret everything
I regret living
"Listen, Sir. There is a reasonable explanation for all of this, just please give us time to explain." Colby offered
He was trying to be mature
"Sorry bud. Can't do that to the point. According to law, I've gotta take you in. But, I promise you can start talking when we get to the station." The officer told Colby
Everyone's face dropped
As we stared
He can't arrest Colby!
That's impossible!
Stuff like this only happens in movies!
Not to us!
"Wha-What?! You can't-" Colby started to protest
"Turn around please, hands behind your back." The officer said
He started walking over to Colby
Taking the handcuffs out of his pocket
"This is bull. Freaking bull." Colby shook his head
He complied
He turned around and held his hands behind his back
"You have the right to remain silent. What you say can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to a lawyer and to have that lawyer present during any questioning. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you if you so desire." The officer spoke of his Miranda Rights
No one moves
As we heard those two sounds
Clink
...
Clink
Colby was now
Officially
Locked in
Helpless
We related far too much Colby Brock
For
I am good at being helpless
