Naegi waited till his mother's drugs ran out, in case the police decided to investigate his house, which would probably happen.
When his mother's drugs ended, the plan would begin, Naegi would wait till 1AM to be sure his mother would be asleep, then he sneaked into his mother's room, took the key out of her purse, got to the front door and out of the house.
Next step was to go to the nearest police station.
He had to go there himself, for in his house there were no phones, or TV's so there was no way to contact the police, except being there personally.
He did not know precisely where there was a police station; however he did remember that when he went to school, he would always pass by a police station, so he decided to retrace his path to school, to see if he could find it again.
After walking for 6 minutes, he found the police station, which thankfully was open; since Naegi lived in a relatively small city, there was a chance the police station would be closed.
Upon entering the police station, the only thing Naegi had to do was pretend to be an innocent, lost little child, and show the policeman the bruises he had from his mother's constant beatings.
The officers obviously got worried for Naegi's safety, and asked Naegi where the bruises came from.
Naegi did not have to lie; he said the bruises came from his abusive mother.
After saying that the policeman got worried looks on their faces, and started asking Naegi questions such as "what is your name" "where do you live" "who is your mother" so on and so forth.
After answering all the necessary questions, Naegi lead the officers to his house where his mother was put under arrest, and he was put under temporary custody of the state.
Naegi had to stay in a foster home till his mother's trial, which was three days after her arrest.
Those three days in foster care were not so bad, the caretakers did not do much besides give him food and put him to sleep, at least they did not hit him, which was a better than nothing.
The kids in there were not so bad either, Naegi did not make any friends, for he still did not trust anyone, however the kids were nice to him, and he was nice to them.
One kid in particular was very curious though; she always seemed on the edge of insanity, and constantly shifted personalities, as though more than one person lived in her body, her name was Junko.
He did not talk much with Junko, and she never started a conversation with him, so he only knew her as an acquaintance.
Junko's sister however was much quieter, almost never speaking, and when she did speak, it was usually one or two words at max.
Naegi wondered how two completely different people could be sisters.
There was not much to do in the foster house, except read, which Naegi did a lot of, even getting a passion for it, after all books do not break your trust.
And so three days passed, and the day of the trial had come, Naegi's mother had been assigned an attorney, for she did not have the money to pay for one.
He himself was assigned an attorney, which was surprising, for he thought it would be the state against his mother, not him against his mother; the only difference it made on the judgement was that he had to put on a show of how he loved his mother, despite everything, and of how he wanted to stay with her.
Fortunately the judge agreed to his pleads of staying with his mother, as long as he had a panic button, and his mother was put in probation for one year, which was exactly what Naegi wanted.
The plan had gone along smoothly, and now he had the means to bribe his mother into doing whatever he wanted.
AN: Hey there Saito here, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
This chapter was hard to write because I didn't know if it was going too fast, or too slow, could you give me your opinion?
In any case, Happy New Year, Saito signing off.
