Bosco stood in silence. Faith put her hand on Bosco's shoulder.
"Ma'am you just assaulted a police officer." Faith said.
"I don't care. He has ruined my family. I had the perfect daughter, I raised her since she was a baby. I loved her, her father loved her, and you are responsible for ruining it all. I hope you're happy." Mrs. Smith yelled at Bosco and then abruptly turning on her heel and stomping up the stairs.
"Wow…. You think it was me who kidnapped a child and kept her from her family for 18 years." Bosco joked.
Ashley came down the stairs. "I'm ready. I have most of my stuff, at least the important things I need."
"O.k. let's go." Faith said.
Bosco, Ashley and Faith walked to the cruiser where Bosco held the door open for Ashley as she climbed into the backseat. They drove in silence for a bit.
"Mo…" Ashley started.
"Yes?"
"What's going to happen with my "adoptive" parents? Are you going to arrest them?" Ashley asked.
"I don't know. There's paperwork to be filled cause the case is now closed. You were found safe, healthy and alive. I guess it depends on how things go. Why?" Bosco replied.
"Well…. I was thinking that well, I mean yes she did a bad thing by kidnapping me, she did provide me a good, loving home. I don't think she should be punished for wanting a family. I mean, I would've rather grown up with my real family, if I had known the truth, but the thing is, is that I was happy there." Ashley said quietly.
"I'll put a good word in. Hopefully that works." Bosco said, pulling up to the station. "Faith and I have to get changed and fill out paperwork. Come on."
They walked up to the station and through the front doors. Ashley sat on a bench and waited. To her left, she noticed a man walk in and sit down.
"Hello. What are you in for?" The man asked.
"Nothing. I'm waiting for Bosco." Ashley replied.
"Oh. I'm waiting for him too. How do you know him?" The man asked.
"I'm his long-lost sister." Ashley replied.
"Oh really?" The man said, beginning to smirk. "Interesting."
"What's so interesting?" Ashley asked.
"I'm his father."
"Ma'am you just assaulted a police officer." Faith said.
