I jumped over the short, cheap, metal fence. My sneakers making a splashing noise as I landed in the puddle, besides the curb. I ran down the street, hearing the rain, but not feeling it. My breath came out in a fog like on most winter days.

I really really wasn't in the mood to get caught, not today. I heard the shriek that was a police siren and I darted into an alleyway. The police siren roared past my hiding spot. I stayed crouched behind the dumpster in till the sirens faded out. I slowly stood up, flattening my back against the brick wall of some butcher. I jumped the tall fence at the end of the alleyway, when I felt a cold barrel press against my neck.

"Freeze!"The officer shouted.

I let my gaze slowly drift towards him, giving him the look that has gotten me slapped countless times, by my so called mother.

"Over the hood."I stared at him for a few more second, before bending over the hood of his card. I didn't want to get shot in the throat.

He kicked my ankles."Spread me."

I spread my legs, feeling the man pat me down. He stopped at my back pockets, removing my house keys and hands felt around my hips, before moving up to my jacket. After emptying one pocket which contained 9ounces of weed, a pack of cigarettes and a pocket knife, he simply removed my whole jacket. He moved my hands behind my back and locked the handcuffs. He opened the door to his cruiser and shoved me inside. The seat was separated by a metal divider, and I nearly died when a dog barked at me.

I jumped in my seat, my back slamming against the car door. The officer grinned looking back at me."Aw,

Don't worry spike won't hurt."

I glared at him and he laughed."Sit properly."

I rolled my eyes and adjusted myself in my seat. The cage that separated criminals and officers shook as we drove down the street. An idea sprung into my head and I waited in till his attention was off me,

Before slamming my feet against the cage, shaking it.

The overweight officer jumped and I laughed."Don't have a heart attack now!"

"You brat!"He sneered.

I stuck out my tongue and slammed my feet against the other cage again. Spike whimpered and I did it a few more times.

"Knock it off, kid!"

I kicked his cage."Make me."

The man glared at me and I started kicking his cage rhythmically."We will we will rock you!"I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Spike started howling with me and soon the car was filled with loud banging, shouting and howling. I could tell the officer was yelling at us, but I just screamed louder.

When we arrived at the police station, the officer opened my door."Get out."He ordered.

I turned my head and spat on me, continuing to kick the cage. The officer grabbed my arm and roughly yanked me out. I stumbled out and almost hit the ground but the fat ass pulled me up, before I hit the ground.

He dragged me into the police department and the other people who had been caught hollered."Nice to see you!"

"Damn dog, you got caught by a pig!"

I grinned and allowed myself to be led to the front of the processing line. I immediately recognized the guy behind the counter.

"Hey bean pole."I greeted.

The officer in question looked up at me. He was this tall lanky guy, who had no business in police work,

Which is probably why he always got stuck behind a counter?

"C-Cedric."He greeted, typing my name into the computer.

I watched him for a few seconds, before barking. The guy flew back in fear, stumbling over a chair and landing on the floor. His eyes were wide and I laughed. Here I was at 14 and I could scare a 25 year old.

"That wasn't funny!"He said, standing up.

I smirked."Maybe not to you."

He began typing away on his keyboard again, his fingers moving fast from years of playing World of War craft.

Bam

I kicked the rickety wood under the desk, my foot easily breaking the fiberboard. Bean pole jumped again and picked up the phone. I briefly wondered if he was calling the police.

"Smooth move kid you broke it."Officer doughboy said.

"Well if my hands weren't handcuffed then I would've hit the glass...oh sorry, plastic instead."I said, truthfully kicking the wood again.

"Kid, knock it off."Dough boy ordered.

I rolled my eyes and started kicking the desk again.

Each time I kicked the counter I broke another piece of fiber board off.

"Seriously kid."Dough boy warned.

I ignored him and started humming. I kept kicking it in till it was almost missing a whole panel.

"Listen kid I don't want to have too..."

"Ok,Cedric has a hearing at 4:30,which is then last hearing of the day."Bean pole said.

"Thank you Alex."Doughboy said, leading me back outside.

I had just been shoved into the car, when Alex came running out."Greg, can I come with you."

"Why?"Greg/doughboy asked.

"Well I..."I can't tell you what they said next,

Because my door was slammed shut. I huffed and waited for the fat ass to get in his clown car.

Alex slid into the passenger seat, smiling."Thanks, I really need to take a breather."

"Or you want to suck his dick."I mumbled under my breath.

Greg glared at me."No problem, but you probably picked a bad time."

I slammed my feet against the cage, making beanpole jump. I started slamming my feet against the cage again and Greg groaned, taking his eyes off the road."Would you stop?"

I stopped kicking for a second."Will you let me go?"I asked.

"I have a duty as a united states..."As soon as his mouth started spewing shut-in started kicking the cage.

The drive to the courthouse was quick, but it must have felt like an eternity to the two officers. I watched the pair gets out of the car and beanpole walked to open my door.

I smirked big mistake. As soon as my door was open I exited the car. I stood next to Alex for a second, like I wasn't going to pull anything. Then when I felt his grip on my arm shift I took off down the street.

I was notoriously fast. I sped down the sidewalk and headed towards one of the few places I knew in Manhattan. The first place that came to mind was the empire state building. It was probably only a mile away from the court house, which wasn't a problem for me. I've run farther.

I sprinted in front of cars. It was a miracle I didn't get hit. I could hear dumb and dumber's police siren in the distance. I pushed the door to the empire state building open and walked inside.

I immediately noticed how cold I was. The building was warm and I almost wished I could live here. My house didn't have heat or air-conditioning, so the concept of not having to wear a winter coat inside was foreign.

I sat in one of the chairs along the wall and waited. I heard sirens blare by and I sighed."Hey,half-bloods are on floor 600."Someone said.

I glanced up and saw a security guard looking at me."What?"

The security guard sighed and moved from behind his desk. He walked up to the elevator and pointed to the door."Half-bloods are on floor means you."

"I..."

"Look, if you're not here for the trip get out. I don't need anyone wasting my air."The guard said opening the elevator.

"But..."

"Go!"The security guard growled out.

I stood up and stepped into the elevator, looking at the buttons. The guard reached in and pressed a bottom I swear hadn't been there on my 5th grade field trip.

As soon as the doors closed, the elevator hurtled up. I knew I was going fast, but I didn't want to think about how fast exactly.

Ding

The elevator doors opened to reveal, a city. I mean a huge city .I slowly stepped out of the elevator. It was beautiful. I was standing in a plaza with a fountain, public bathrooms, lampposts, benches and shrubs(Yeah I know what a shrub is).I slowly took it all in, but then I notice a building. It almost reminded me of a courthouse, but it was much more regal. I don't know why I ended up walking all the way through the city, towards that building, but my motivation defiantly increased when I turned around and saw my two favorite officers and their dog racing up the hill. Spike was ahead of them and was probably my only real threat.

I opened the door to the court looking building and slipped inside.
