Chapter 26-Bad News
About a good hour after Brie left the Brooks family, AJ and Punk were anxiously waiting for one of the guys from the FBI to come and talk to them. They knew that the FBI agent was going to come to fix Punk's ankle monitor, but not hearing from Dean was becoming very worry some. Both Punk and AJ knew that back in Portland, the big bust on Evolution was supposed to go down and them not hearing so far.
Finally there was a knock on the door and this time Punk got up to answer it. "Hello can I help you?" he asked the man in front of him.
"Yes I'm Detective Colt Cabana and I'm here to see a Phil Brooks," the man told him as Punk allowed him entry to his home.
"I'm Phil Brooks and what kind of name is Colt Cabana?" Punk asked as they walked into the living room where AJ and Charlie were. If he didn't get a good answer, then Punk would be so fast to throw Colt out on his ass that it wasn't even funny.
Colt just laughed and said, "Colt Cabana isn't my real name by any means sir. I just go by that name in case some of the people that we put away try to come after me. Think of it as a nickname similar to yours Phil or should I say Punk. However I read in your file and heard that you are a very skeptical man, so if you really must know my real name is Scott Colton."
AJ knew that Punk might not like the man in front of him, but she did and extended her hand out to the man, "Nice to meet you Colt and don't worry we won't expose your true identity. We know what it's like to be living in hiding and we don't want to put anyone in danger."
"Yeah I guess April is right, but just know that if you try anything to hurt my family I won't hesitate to hurt you. The only FBI guys that I trust at this point are Dean and Roman," Punk growled at him as he tried to keep his cool with his guard up at all times.
"I know you do and Detective Ambrose told me that you are a little grumpy too. Anyways there are a couple of things that we need to discuss, so let's get started. Now what I am going to do is adjust the range of your ankle monitor to allow you to go to the doctor's office and back. Just remember that if you go to any other place besides that, the FBI and the police will be called to arrest you. Got it?" Colt told Punk as he pulled out his computer.
Punk just nodded and watched at Colt adjusted his ankle monitor. Even though it was something that he agreed too, Punk hated that thing on his leg. It was heavy, it itched, and it was a constant reminder that he made some awful decisions in his life. He was just glad that Charlie is too young to know what it is when he played with it. Otherwise he didn't know how he would explain it to his son.
Finally after a few moments of silence with Colt tapping away on his computer, he looked up and said, "Alright Brooks you are all set to go. Just remember what I said and you should be fine. Now there are some other important things that we need to discuss and even though I elected not to tell you, Detective Reigns is making me."
"What do you mean by he's making you? Is everything going alright in Portland? We know that the big bust on Evolution was going down today and we haven't heard anything from Dean yet," AJ said as she rocked Charlie in her arms.
"Well that's what I have to talk to you about unfortunately," Colt sighed. "You see at first everything was going fine with the bust. Randy did what he was supposed to and everything was going according to plan, but Hunter did something that no one expected. Instead of just giving up or running away peacefully, Hunter ended up shooting back and a whole shoot with the FBI happened."
Both AJ and Punk looked at each other in shock, "Oh my god that's horrible. Was anyone hurt?" Punk asked. He hoped that some of the guys in Evolution were, but not the FBI because they were so nice and good to him and his family.
Again Colt looked at them with a sorrow face, "Unfortunately there were some causalities and injuries. Most of Evolution were shot and killed and only Hunter and a Seth Rollins managed to get away. We think Rollins might have been hit with a bullet, so we are monitoring all the local hospitals. Now with the FBI, luckily no one was killed but Detective Ambrose was shot in the shoulder which requires a non-life threating surgery."
"And Randy, what happened to him? Is he even okay?" Punk said started to panic. He hoped that nothing happened to his good friend, because he didn't think that he would be able to live with himself.
"Look you guys have to know that when I was speaking to Detective Reigns, he told me that Randy knew perfectly what he was doing and that he knew the risks that came with the job that he was doing. With that being said, unfortunately Randy was shot in the neck accidently by one of our FBI agents and is in critical condition the last time that I checked," Colt told them as he watched them start to tear up.
Punk couldn't say anything except for getting up and walking to their room where he slammed the door in frustration. "I'm sorry for my boyfriend's behavior Detective, but you have to understand that Randy is his best friend and they are almost like brothers. I'm just afraid that he is going to blame himself for everything," AJ sighed as she got up off the couch along with Colt.
Colt just put his hand on her shoulder and said, "I understand Ms. Mendez and I understand what he is going through. I lost my best friend in an undercover bust too and it still hurts to this day. All you can do is just be with him and comfort him. I'll even give you my number in case Punk wants to talk to someone else. Also I promise that if I hear anything else on your friend's condition, I'll call you right away."
"Thank you so much Detective and I'll do my best to be there for Phil," AJ smiled sadly as she bid farewell to the man. Once he was gone, AJ looked at Charlie in her arms and with look that he gave her she could tell that he could feel their sadness. "C'mon little man, let's go check on daddy," she then told him as they walked to her room.
Knocking on the bedroom door, AJ waited for some sort of response from her boyfriend. Unfortunately there wasn't one, so she decided to knock again. This time she heard a mumbled voice, so she set Charlie down and slowly opened the door. When she peaked inside the dark room, what AJ saw made her heart stop. There lying on the bed in front of her was Punk in a fetal position and he was crying hard.
Quickly running over to him, AJ got in the bed next to him and hugged Punk as tightly as she could. She didn't know what she could have said to make him feel better, so she just took him into her arms and Punk turned around to cry into her chest. As she was holding him, she noticed Charlie standing next to her with a sad look on his face too, so she broke apart from Punk momentarily to lift up her son and place him on the bed.
For the remainder of the day, the Brooks family just laid in bed together trying to find as much comfort as they could within each other. Excluding Charlie, both AJ and Punk knew that the perfect safe world that they created within each other in there house was now in jeopardy and they just prayed that they FBI found Hunter before he found them.
Oh man I feel so bad for Punk and his family right now. It must suck to know that your best friend is in the hospital fighting for his life and that there was nothing you could do about it. I just hope that AJ does her best to help Punk through this trying time, because he needs to protect his family since Hunter escaped custody. Oh by that way, yeah Colt is in this story lol.
