The man in a black suit, and a woman in a white shirt and a black pencil skirt, stepped out of the navy blue Subaru. They rambled thought the station and sat down in front of the personnel's desk.copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3qcqALcYf
"Good afternoon, officer," James Fyers greeted. "We're Yaya Anne Fyer's parents."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWXsnc3WjE
The personnel placed a pile of papers and handed them a pen. "Sign here," he yawned. "Your daughter is currently with Detective Ryder."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74QYEwxcHH
Anong let out a sigh and signed a few pieces of papers. "This paperwork is unnecessary," she grumbled. "No wonder there's too many corruption within the system."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmLXybyjow
Yaya appeared and embraced her mother in a hug. "Are you okay?" she asked, frantically. "Did you hurt yourself?"copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtx6QJaN2
She shook her head. "I'm totally fine, mom," assured Yaya. "Just a few scratches, that's all."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU7FTLbqYS
James sat her down and put his hands on her shoulder. "What happened?" asked James. Yaya replied, "I got in a fight, with Ezekiel."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8veTsN517u
He shook his head. "God said to us in the Bible to love our neighbour," he preached. "Violence is never the best option."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG80dfRWqE
"Even Buddha wants his followers to maintain peace," Anong joined in. She nodded. "I understand, mom," she sulked. "But Ezekiel annoyed me to the core."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡZez6TtS5UQ
A woman in her early 40s entered, with a bubblegum pink dress and kitten heels. She went to the counter and placed her business card on the desk. "I'm here to see my son, Ezekiel Blythe."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2mcWP02Q7
The officer nodded. "I'll let Detective Ryder know about this," he stood up. "In the meantime, fill up all of this," he slapped a folder in front of her. copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnNFo1VgYl
As he left, Deborah unsealed the folder, revealing copies of forms, each containing empty spaces to fill up. copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXzv3tYWyS
She raised her hands. "Officer, should I fill up all of them?" copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwV8JRXKTO
"They looked the same," stated Deborah. He walked away as if she wasn't there. Anong tapped her shoulder. "Just fill up the first few forms," she offered her help. He faces lit up.copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpcF5AH0RF
"Toda Raba, sister," she thanked her. "But isn't this bureaucratic?"copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMCUhGofCW
James acknowledged her, and her expressions turned sour. With an officer escorted, Ezekiel looked at Deborah and took a step forward. copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pt3ydVwXP
"Hey mom," his voice trembled. "Sorry about that cut on my face."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPfwuk7ckY
She felt his cheeks, and her eyebrows curved downwards. "Oh my baby," she cried. "What happened?"copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFLuz2aYiN
Yaya got up from her seat. "My apologies, Madame," she bowed, with her palms glued together. "We both fight with each other."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrcouKBqhz
Deborah's lips sealed together and stared at Ezekiel. "You know better to not to pick on a woman, no matter what."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBou7TOf58
"Our Rabbi even taught you that every Saturday," she continued. "Worse-to-worse, both of you got yourself patched up."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXNZrn1Cmk
Ezekiel gave a nod to his mother. Then, a bulky in a coat entered and signalled both parties to meet him. He gave them another piece of paper and two pens. "Sign here and they're free."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgLCFgnhHE
James raised his hand. "Wait, what is this for?" he pointed out. "There's no need for you to pay the cash bail," explained Chief Morrison. "So you need to sign this to remove their criminal record."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWffrn8fCe
Deborah sniggered. "Yaya and Ezekiel are still underage."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQbcPDARfW
"Which means any criminal record they have when they're 16 won't be seen at all," she lectured.copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEdYhTeEaW
Anong pushed the paper forward. "Mrs Blythe has a point," she agreed. "This paperwork we were given just to released our kids is too much."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1SygkVpAy
"No wonder there's too much corruption within the system," Anong said to Chief Morrison. He slammed the table with force, leaving everyone in the room still. "Just signed this God damn paper and leave," he barked. "I don't want to see your jaundice ass again."copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpPbesL6H
Anong bowed and signed it. She dragged her husband and Yaya away to their Subaru. Deborah did the same.copyright protection164ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimVgDOvhZ
