Author note: last chapter for tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to put another chapter on here tomorrow.
A conversation
As Eric left Horatio initiated the conversation: "Do you work in the Shackles?"
"Yes and the Shambles, that is why I am here."
"What do you think about the situation in the Shackles?"
"It is a peculiar situation, but it works."
"Why are youngsters doing the job that in all fairness should be done by adults?"
"The youngsters do it because they can and they feel it is their job. It grew this way, mister Caine." Before Kevin could continue, Horatio interrupted him: "Please it is Horatio."
"Okay, Horatio, I am Kevin. Anyway, the youngsters see how hard their parents work and they are often concerned about their younger siblings."
"So because the adults don't have time, the youngsters take over the job of protecting. What do the parents think?"
"I sincerely doubt whether the adults know. You see there are very few incidents that require the police force there. The knowledge of the parents depends on what their children tell them."
"Don't you think the adults should be made aware of this?"
"Yes, this incident only strengthens that believe. We have been trying to set u p a meeting and telling everything, but the clubs have been trying to postpone it, up until now. Yesterday I got a phone call from one of the clubs, stating that we should have that meeting. It is next week. Oh I have to call the gym teacher, she will have to stop her lessons, until we can guarantee her safety."
"She is more concerned about the safety of the children she teaches."
"Do you know her?"
"Yes, she is called Celesta Mahoney and she wont be doing her teaching, until someone can guarantee the safety of the children."
"Good, I'll make contact with her, so I can tell her when she can start with her lessons again." At that moment Calleigh came in to say that they were going to interrogate the men. "Okay, we'll stay outside the room and listen in." Horatio said as he motioned for Kevin to follow Calleigh.
