Robbie its okay.
Glanni hugs him like their mom would and sings and it calms him down.
It beeped.
I know its okay, your headphones must have metal in them
Do you mind if we check the headphones.
Yes thats fine, robbie cover your ears.
Glanni takes robbies headphones off and robbie covers his ears from the noise. The guards inspect it and it beeps meaning there is metal inside.
Okay thats fine theres metal in it, dont stress we just need him to stand up so we can do a quick search.
Yep thats fine.
Glanni stands robbie up and holds him while he's being searched.
Okay all clear. Sorry mr rotten, hope you are okay.
Robbie pushes his face into his brothers shoulder.
Thank you, say thank you robbie.
T..t..thank you…
Thats alright.
Glanni walks with robbie to the visiting part to meet jake, when they get there jake is sitting at a table waiting.
Hi jake.
Hi glanni, hi robbie.
Robbie pushes his face more into glanni.
What happened?
Robbie had a meltdown going through the metal detector.
Oh robbie, its okay do you want to give me a hug?
Uh huh….
Come on then.
Robbie ran over to jake and gave him a big hug.
Its okay robbie.
Mhm
Robbie wiped away his tears and sat next to his brother and lied on him.
Anyways we're here because mom passed away this morning.
Oh.. moms gone?
Yeah.. she told me to tell you that she is really proud of you she wrote this letter for you.
Hey she didnt write a letter for me.
Oh.. ah… mom left something for you that ill… give to you later.
Oh.. okay.
Anyways heres the letter, you can read it in your own time okay.
Thanks glanni.
No worries.
Their dad walks in and robbie went straight for him.
Dad!
Woah! Robbie! Are you excited to see me.
I love you dad.
I love you too. I have good news and i have bad news. Who wants to hear what first?
They all say good news.
Alright good news is that jake is allowed out of prison.
Wait really?
yes , and the bad news is…..there is no bad news boy youre getting out of prison.
OH MY GOD REALLY? FOREVER?
yes , you'll have to see a parole officer once a month and if you get caught doing something bad you'll have to come back, the officers are letting us go in and help you pack.
Wait i get to go today?
Yes lets go.
Jake takes his brothers and dad to his cell. Everyone are in their units because its visiting times and usually everyone who is not having visitors have to stay in their cell, so no one is near, they get to Jakes Cell, an officer handed him a clear bag.
Thank you, come in robbie you can sit on my bed.
Okay.
Robbie sits on his brothers bed and looks at the pictures on the wall.
Jake?
Yes robbie?
Why do you have a picture of me on the wall?
To remind me of what an awesome brother you are.
Oh…
And also it reminds me of home.. I missed you robbie, i miss being your big brother protecting you all the time.
Why is this room so small?
Because i was in trouble robbie, and there's only one of me living here i dont need a big room.
Oh..
Hey robbie i have a special job for you.
Yeah?
I need you to take all the pictures and drawings off the walls and put them in this bag.
Okay.
Robbie got right to work and took down the drawings and photos. Glanni and Jake started clearing out everything.
Hey glanni?
Yes?
How has robbie been?
Hes been okay.. I guess.. Hes been having a bunch of meltdowns which isnt really like him. I mean yeah the odd occasion here and there, but this week he had about ten which isnt like him.
No not at all like him.
I dont know what to do, i dont know if i can look after him and manage work at the same time…
How much care does he need?
Well he lives alone now, when you went to prison he lived at home with mom and dad, but mom got him a place, she used to go over every day to see him. It must be tough to live alone with autism.
Well… i can move in with him.. I mean i can work at the town he lives in and i can also take care of him.. Get his groceries and deal with anything he needs.
That could work you know.
I know.. That's why i suggested it.
Hey robbie?
Yes glanni?
How would you like to live with jake?
In here? No way, i like my home.
No silly i mean jake could live with you at your home.
Oh.. well sure.
He'll take care of you and clean your lair.
Yes i like that.
Right its sorted then, jake will live with you.
They all finish cleaning up and its time to go back through the metal detectors.
Nooo not that again.
Robbie holds onto glanni for dear life.
Robbie relax, we just have to take your headphones off before we go in.
O.. okay.
Glanni takes robbies headphones off and robbie walks through.
Hey sir we need to do a random strip search.
Oh….
Um.. officer he has autism that wont go very well.
Well too bad, he has to do it its policy, fine well can i go in too he needs me there.
Fine but ill strip search you too.
Thats fine. Now robbie, we have to go with the officer, he has to see you naked.
But i dont want him to see my doodle.
I know but he has to check its the rules okay, ill do it too.
Robbie covers his face and walks in.
