"Now Jase, calm down" Joe reasons. How can he say that? I murdered him. I begin to scream. "JASON" Joe shouts at me; I still continue to scream, why can't I stop? "I'm sorry Jase" Joe says before smacking me across the face; I stop screaming.
"I had to do that, I'm sorry" Joe reassures me. "Right everybody calm down. Lets think, what are we gonna do with the body?" Freddie reasons "I am calling the police" Joe says firmly. Shit, is my own brother gonna turn me in? am I going to prison? "WHAT! what are you thinking Joe, we'll all get banged up" Freddie shouts at Joe "yeah Joe, Fred's right" Ziggy tries to reason "no we wont, anyone can see that it was self defense, if we cover this up then we'll be banged up, but if the police see the state that we're in then they can clearly see it was self defense, we may be in for questioning of what happened, but other then that we should be fine" Joe reasons with us.
"Yeah. You're right, i'll call em" Ziggy said and got his phone out and began to dial 911 I presume "hold on a minute" Freddie began "the police will never let this off, they'll keep going until we're all banged up, how can you be so stupid" Freddie snapped at Joe, I begin to panic, what if Freddie is right? Ziggy is now on the phone to the police "hello? I need the police over here, there's been an incident" Ziggy started talking to the police over the phone, Freddie tries to pull the phone away from Ziggy, Joe blasts over to them and pushes Freddie away "what do you think your playing at" Joe shouts at Freddie "he can't do this, we'll go down" Freddie replies, Ziggy has now given the police our address, also asked for an ambulance and put the phone down "They're on there way" Ziggy tells the room.
"We have to run" Freddie frets "we are not running Fred, we're facing this together, as a family" Joe tells Freddie. Freddie kicks the cupboard door; this is Freddie's way of saying Joe's right in a weird sort of way.
A short time after that there was a knock at the door. "Last chance" Freddie asks Joe "we stick it out as planned" Joe tells Freddie and goes and answers the door. This is it, my life is officially over. The police come into the kitchen after Joe spoke to them, one of the officers come over to me, he puts my hands behind my back and locks them in handcuffs "Jason Roscoe I am arresting you on suspicion of murder, you do not have to say anything but anything you do say will be given as evidence in court" The police officer tells me, I well up, I am scared.
I comply with the officer and let him take me to his car, he opens the back door and edges me in, I obviously comply and climb into the car, he shuts and locks the door behind me and gets into the front seat, he then proceeds and drives me to the station.
Once there I am immediately escorted to a room for questioning, I sit down and the officer sits opposite me, he turns the tape on "now Jason, tell me what happened" The officer asked, I figure now is the time to explain everything.
"My dad" I begin and wipe my eyes "a short while ago" I pause "take your time" the officer reassures me, I take a deep breath "he beat me up; bad," I sniff my snot back and wipe my eyes "he also force me to be sick. and today" I pause recalling everything that has happened "he hurt my mum somehow, I don't know how, he also did something to Robbie-" Robbie? what happened to Robbie he was bleeding, no, no, he can't be dead.
Without me even knowing I start crying and screaming. Next minute I know Joe is sitting next to me holding me, was I really that hysterical that I blacked out? "Jase, it's okay, just tell the officer everything, it's gonna be okay" Joe reassures me and rubs my shoulder.
I take a deep breath after calming down "he was bleeding, Robbie was" I look to Joe for reassurement, he looks at me with worry in his eyes, I know somethings up with Robbie. "I kinda blanked out after that, and when I was alert I had fainted" I finish telling the officer "do you have the information to fill in the blanks Mr. Roscoe?" the officer asks and looks at Joe "yes sir" Joe begins and rubs my shoulder "once Jason had come down stairs, he went extremely pale, he looked like he was going to faint, Rick was going to lash out, so Jason grabbed a pan and hit him sir" Joe told the officer honestly.
"On purpose" the officer questioned "by defense" Joe corrects him. The officer turns the tape off and stands up and goes towards the door "I will get someone to analyze this, I will be back shortly to tell you whats going on" The officer said and left the room.
Some time later the officer walks back into the room and doesn't shut the door "you're free to go. There will still be an inquiry, but for now go home and we'll see you here tomorrow" the officer told me and left the room. Me and Joe get up and leave the station with Freddie and Ziggy. We head to the hospital.
