Taking CHances, Learning to Love--Chapter Six
**Please review! I promise the story will start devoloping more!**
Russ was at the firestation when TC approached him. "How's it going, Granger?" he asked. Russ shrugged. "Better than I thought. I helped a kid get some friends," he said proudly, biting into an apple. "Nice, and I'm glad and all, but we think Damien Holtzclaw may be using Jonathon to sell drugs, and someone said they sawa little kid being beat up, but when we got there no one was there." Russ's face fell. "You think it was Jon?" he asked.
"Yeah, we do...We don't think he's being abused, but he's in definate danger, so I think instead of you trying to get in good with some of the kids you concentrate on your job." TC instructed. "But TC-" "No BUTS, Granger, Jonathon and Daniel Holtzclaw are in real danger if we don't bust their father." TC interupted, shaking his head. "Okay." Russ answered.
The next day Russ walked into class and found Jon's arm in a sling. "What happened, buddy?" he asked, noticing that Jon was the only one there, and he wasn't his usual self. "Nothing, I mean, I fell out of a tree, you know me," he answered quickly.
"Yeah, so what's been up?" Russ changed the subject. "Nothing, I guess." he answered simply.
The kids started filing in, so Russ took his spot. He noticed Cole joking around with a few kids, not like he was yesterday at all. Russ noticed he had a black eye, and that when Hailie walked in she, too, had a bruise on her face, but it was lower on her cheek.
Russ made a mental note to follow Jon around, he knew it wasn't right, but he also grew up around drugs and stuff, so he knew how dangerous it was for a little boy to be selling them.
It was during math that Cole began to get on RUss's nerves. "Cole, what's the answer?" he abruptly said as Cole was whispering to Andrew. Cole grew red but quickly recovered. "I dunno." he answered. "Well, if you had paid attention then you WOULD know." Russ snapped, "this is the fifth time I've caught you not payin attention, next time it's detention for tomorrow, got it?"
"I got it." Cole mumbled back.
Cole then realized that, if he got detention, then he knew he wouldn't have to go home right away. He smiled at his 'sudden lightbulb' and waited until the last few minutes of class. He got his test paper back and grinned. He knew what to do. "I'm the smartest person alive, I know it!" he screamed and jumped on his seat.
Russ gave him an un-believing look. "Are you NUTS?" He exclaimed. "Maybe!" Cole answered gleefully. "MAYBE I'll be seeing you tomorrow after school!" Russ answered. "Maybe that, too!"
