Chapter 1~ How?
"It's been a long day Mr. Madison, there are three kids out in the back. Keep an eye on them will ya?"
Mr. Madison simply nodded, it wasn't the first time he was on the job. Being a county police officer was hard work and not to mention a thankless job. He peered in the back, his lips curling in its unusual style.
"Hey, Danny is that you?"
The kid picked up his head, the raven colored hair gleaming in the moonlight. He picked himself up and leaned against the bars of the jailhouse.
"One and only , how's the kids? Heard Victoria won first place in her recital."
Mr. Madison smiled in not only an appreciative matter but also one of honor for his daughter's achievement.
"They're doing great! I'm proud of my girl Victoria and Robbie for that manner. They're good kids."
Daniel smiled at this, his hands gripping the bars in an impulsive manner.
"Got any plans after work?"
Danny asked trying to make causal conversation, snickers were heard in the background of the tiny cell.
"Why do you care if he has plans? Sit back down and shut up like the rest of us, kiss ass."
Not skipping a beat Danny turned toward the sound of the voice with a certain hollow tone ingrained in him, "You don't want to mess with me kid, I know people who can make your life a living hell and after your death they'll continue to haunt you."
The kid progressively and intelligently shut his mouth from any further statements. Danny sighed and looked down at the concrete floor. He was used to failing at this point, a long life of robberies and thefts was bound to catch up to him at one point. What would his parents say? Hell if they cared anymore, he was far away from Amity Park and he wasn't planning to go back any time soon.
"Mr. Madison, can I get my one phone call now? I have bail to make."
The previous couple of nights weren't really distinct to him, they all blurred together and made a rainbow of colors in his head. Danny after all, was still trying to figure out exactly why he was here and why his head was pounding. His fight with his girlfriend couldn't of been that bad, right? Handcuffs were thrown on him quite painfully it left him with a slight feeling of familiarity.
"Haven't been here in awhile, had a bad night huh?"
Danny could only nod and smile.
"I'm only human after all"
He was lead to a small telephone booth that looked straight out of England, he dialed the familiar number and waited to here the 'I told you so' speech from his girlfriend. There relationship has been strained recently, but deep down they knew they loved each other. At least that's what Danny thought until he heard the sound of his girlfriends voice reaching the phone.
"What do you want Danny? It's too early in the morning to deal with your bullshit."
Danny sighed, preparing for another fight with his beloved. Peering at his watch, he calmly replied.
"It's 5 pm, Sam. I just wanted to let you know I'm in the county jail and I kinda need bail. I know I messed up and I kn-"
He was cut off with the rambling of his girlfriend.
"Stop, you have know idea how badly you've been messing up lately. First, it was our relationship and now it's your life. When are you going to get your life together Danny? I'm not giving you bail, you're going to have to learn this lesson on your own."
Then it was a click and a dial tone. A sigh was heard and the phone receiver was thrown half hastily, running his hands through his thick black hair his fingers loomed over the keys. He was desperate, but the confines of jail was better then calling home. Lesson's always came hard for Danny, but he never forgot a single one.
"Are you done kid? I gotta get you back to your cell."
Danny turned towards the sound of his voice, and walked towards him.
"Of course, I'll be spending the night in this wonderful establishment."
The guard chuckled, and led him back into his concrete box.
"I like you kid, the judge will see bright and early tomorrow morning."
"It will be my pleasure."
