Emerge From Your World, and Enter Mine
Well Adjusted?

Disclaimer: I do own the story, but not the characters, well, I do own a few of them, but I don't own Digimon, so fuck off and die (not that anyone would care)

QUICK NOTICE: I have changed my penname to A Fire Inside, officially.

Authors Notes: Well just incase you were wondering, the answers to the rock trivia questions were:

Two bands from Orange County are: Social Distortion, The Offspring (You could've also had, No Doubt)

Benji Levi Madden is the full name of Benji of Good Charlotte

Two rock legends that both died on April 5th are: Kurt Cobain of Nirvana died in '94 and Layne Stanley of Alice in Chains died in '02. (Creepy isn't it? Two of the rocks greatest died on the same exact day, only one died eight years before the other. Both were over dosed, but Kurt shot himself, while over dosed. )

Two famous punk rockers that were both born on March 11, 1979 are: Benji Levi Madden and Joel Rueben Madden.

Authors Notes: So, I'm making this stuff up as I type, so this might be one crappy chapter. Have any of you seen The OC, great series; kick ass series at that too. Back to the story, it will have harder rock trivia questions at the bottom, mainly because I'm running out of easy ones. And I'll be doing all that GC and AFI promotion at the bottom of the chapter from now on, or probably just this chapter. So yeah that's basically all I have to say, so now onto the chapter....

~Next Day at school

"Look at it this way, at least you get to see him part of the day, instead of....Well however long you two use to see each other." Sandi tried comforting her friend. "It's not the fact that I'm not going to see him as much, it's the fact that this is all happening because of my dad." responded Mimi. "So this has nothing to do with you not being able to stop Ian from telling Matt whatever he reads in your diary?" Sandi asked. "Now it is." Mimi answered. "I have a question, why are we at school this early?" Sandi asked. "I have to find all my classes, and because Ian's alarm clock woke me up." replied Mimi. "Well it's 7:05, and class doesn't start until 8:10, what should we do?" Sandi asked as she took a glimpse at her watch. "Maria is always at school this early; let's see what she's doing." Mimi suggested. "Sure." Sandi agreed.

Mimi and Sandi walked out towards the football field where the Leadership, 4H Club and Link Crew members were debating.

"We should not just stand by, while our school is getting destroyed. We all worked hard, doing fund raisers and community service, we are the ones responsible for what the school has today! So let us join together, and stop the drag races, which occur every Tuesday and Monday night in front of this very school. Let us stop the vandalism, which is preventing us from going to the restroom between periods. Let us put an end to the violence, I have here a school statistic, on average 10 students are suspended from school for fighting on school grounds! Let us unite and put an end to this, and save what we worked so hard for!" Announced a young teenage female into the microphone as the crowd cheered at the end of her small speech.

"I didn't know Maria cared so much about the school." commented Mimi. "It's not the school she cares about, it's just that she's mad because she's made over 5,000 dollars for the school in fund raisers, and now that it's getting destroyed, she's a bit pissed." corrected Sandi. "I don't think this meeting, or whatever it is, isn't going to be over anytime soon." Mimi guessed. "Neither do I, hey isn't Gabby usually at the gym around this time?" Sandi asked. "I think she is, let's go." said Mimi as the two began to walk to the other side of campus.

The two approached the gym, and as they reached for the door, they heard yelling.

"Come on! You bums expect to get to into the finals in this shape, you're barley at twenty! Move it!" shouted Mr. Sharp. "We're working as hard as we can." said an exhausted teen with brown hair and blue eyes. "Well too bad then! Just for that you're all going to start all over again! 1! 2! 3! Now you didn't go down the whole way! Start over!" Shouted Mr. Sharp at the students doing pull ups.

"I don't think she has time for us right now." Mimi said to Sandi who nodded in agreement. "Wanna try, Nancy?" Sandi asked, Mimi nodded her head in agreement. "She should be at the quad, right?" Mimi asked uncertainly. "Yeah." Sandi assured as they walked towards the center of the campus ground.

Mimi and Sandi approached a girl with glasses and dark black hair with red tips. "Hey Nancy!" Sandi greeted her friend. "No time for talking. Must keep on studying, GPA must not drop below 4.9." said Nancy her eyes never leaving her book. "Hey Nancy, look it's Anthony." Mimi pointed out to her over worked friend. "OK, studying can wait." declared Nancy. "I was just messing around, what are you doing?" Mimi asked.

~ School parking lot

"Hey Matt do you have a light?" asked Ivan, Matt took his lighter out of his pocket. "Dude, man this sucks." remarked Matt as he shot a rubber band at Deryck. "What the fuck?" Deryck asked as the rubber band hit his cheek. "Fuck up." Matt told him. "You know Matt's just mad, because Mimi's dad went berserk, and switched around their schedules." Jose said as he to puff of his cigarette. "You guys are dumb-asses, who smokes cigarettes before school?" Matt asked his friends in a dry tone. "People who can get away with It." answered Ivan. "I can't believe you guys still go to Spyder." Matt commented. "Not Spyder, he got arrested. We're going to Gino now, shit, at least this guy can cover up his tracks." responded Jose. "And they're not cigarettes, it's cigaweed." laughed Deryck. "Come on Matt, you know you want some. Just take it, it's not like you haven't before." Ivan told Matt as he moved the joint around Matt's face. "Thank you for reminding me." Matt said bluntly as he walked away. "Hey man, where you going?" Deryck asked. "I'm gonna go find Mimi." Matt responded. "You're no fun Matt!" shouted Jose.

Matt wondered around the campus in search of Mimi. He went to football field, the gym, the library; he went to the auditorium, so he basically concluded the only place left was the quad. There he saw Mimi, and was about to reach her, when a person purposely blocked his way. "Where do you think you're going?" asked a large man. "Hey, Officer Hickey." Matt said while trying to stifle his laughter. "Do you still find my last name funny?" the officer asked as he arched an eyebrow. "No, no, it's just what your brother told me about your daughter." answered Matt with a grin on his face. "How do you know my brother?" questioned Officer Hickey. "He's my, well he was my geometry tutor." replied Matt trying to keep a straight face. "What did he say about Anita?" Officer Hickey demanded to know. "It's just that, he told me that you decided to name your daughter Anita." Matt answered. "And?" Officer Hickey asked. "Well doesn't it sound funny to you? Anita Hickey? I need a hickey?" Matt tried to get the officer to see the mistake he made in naming his daughter. "Funny, very funny, look I can't seem to find the strength to stop laughing. Stop it, you're killing Me." the officer said in a blunt yet sarcastic tone. "If you don't mind, I have to get going, so se ya later." said Matt as he walked off, but Officer Hickey grabbed him by the arm. "You better show some respect towards my authority." said Hickey as he let go of Matt.

"Hey, Mimi, Sandi, Nancy." Matt greeted. "Matt!" Mimi exclaimed as she threw her arms around him. "Yeah, nice to see you too." Matt said. "Hey Matt." Sandi and Nancy said in unison. "What did Ian tell you?" Mimi demanded to know. "I haven't seen Ian in two days." Matt responded. "He said he was going to go hang around with you, he just left with Kurt." Mimi said. "Ahh man, come on, I don't think he should be hanging around with them right now, especially right now." Matt said as he pulled Mimi along with him, Sandi and Nancy just decided to tag along. "Please tell me Ian has smoked already?" Matt asked Mimi. "Not that I know of." Mimi responded uncertainly. Matt mumbled something under his breath. "I don't think Ian would give into peer pressure that easily." Mimi commented. "They aren't his peers; peers would be someone in your age group. And we've gotten Ian to do plenty of things he wouldn't normally do." Matt remarked. "Like what?" Mimi asked. "The tattoo, we got him to kiss Kayla, to read your diary, to sneak us some of your dad's wine, and some other stuff. So I'm pretty sure they can get him to smoke a joint." Matt answered. "How did he read my diary? I thought I changed the lock." Mimi asked herself. "Don't you feel left out of this conversation?" Sandi asked Nancy who nodded. "Uh, Matt, Mimi? Isn't that Ian over there with Kurt and Alyssa?" Nancy pointed out. "What, where?" Matt asked as he looked around. "Over there by the tree." Mimi said as she pulled Matt along with her as she headed over to Ian.

"OK they aren't smoking, let's not mention anything." Matt told Mimi. "Ian, you read Matt my diary?" Mimi shouted at Ian who backed away from Mimi and behind Alyssa, his girlfriend. "Not anything majorly embarrassing, I just told Matt that you thought he was, quote, 'an excellent kisser' end quote." Ian responded from behind Alyssa. "If you don't stop reading my diary, I'm going to tell Alyssa, something you don't want her to know." Mimi threatened. "What don't you want me to know?" Alyssa asked Ian who gave her a weak grin. "I don't know what Mimi's talking about.." Ian trailed off as he backed up into a tree. "What doesn't he want to tell me?" Alyssa asked Mimi. "It has something to do, with Ian, kissing one of your friends, during one of your dates." Mimi answered simply. "Way to go Mimi." Ian mumbled. "You kissed someone during one of our dates?" Alyssa asked Ian in disbelief. "Kayla." Ian muttered. "Kayla? Does she know who you kissed?" Alyssa asked. "I thought blondes were supposed to be the dense ones, not the brunettes?" Kurt whispered to Matt, who gave a hopeless shrug. "Not exactly." Ian mumbled as Alyssa thought. "Please, please tell me you didn't kiss Kayla." Alyssa pleaded, Ian managed weak grin. "There's a funny story to that..... You see I got kinda drunk, well, really, really drunk, that one time we were at Victor's party, and I saw Kayla, and since you two geniuses decided to wear the same thing, I kinda thought she was you. And I sorta frenched her, and then she slapped me, hard, very hard, and I don't remember the rest." Ian explained to Alyssa. "I thought you said that you and your friends got him to kiss Kayla?" Mimi asked Matt. "Who do you think got him drunk?" Matt responded. "I don't see the funny part." Alyssa said. "I kissed your best friend, because I thought she was you." Ian slightly laughed. "And if you were so drunk, how do you remember that much?" Alyssa asked Ian. "Deryck has this thing with cameras, video cameras in particular, and he kinda got the whole thing on video." Ian said. Alyssa opened her mouth to speak, but the bell went off, so she just dragged Ian to their class. "See you at lunch." Matt said to Mimi, before he walked off to class.

~ Mr. Zapian's class

"Good morning class, today we're not doing any work, for two reasons, Matt is out of the class. And because after 25 years of thinking, I realized you lazy good for nothing bums, don't learn anything in class anyway." announced Mr. Zapian.

'That's not true, I learned how to fall asleep with my eyes open' Mimi thought to herself.

"But because, all of you have been so ungrateful, you will all have five extra months of preparation for your SAT's, so get into testing positions, and if I catch any of you little hooligans cheating, you will be doing two hours of detention." added Mr. Zapian happily, ruining it for the students.

'At least Matt got out of this.' Mimi thought as she switched desks

~Ms. Moore's class, Matt's new core teacher

"Dude this class kicks ass." Matt commented to Jose. "Kick ass teacher, equals a kick ass class." Jose remarked. "I thought Mr. Zapian said none of the honors teachers wanted me." Matt commented. "Forget about it, all you have to know about Ms. M, is that she's cool about everything, just not about techno music. She idolizes Eminem, if he doesn't like something, she doesn't like it." Jose warned.

"Jose Antonio Martin, did I hear you say techno? What'd I tell you about techno?" asked a tall blonde female teacher. "I said, techno was an insult to music, and that anyone who listens to it is a loser." Jose responded. "Quick question, what is Eminem's real name?" She asked Matt quickly. "Marshall Mathers." Matt answered the stupid pointless question. "Correct. OK class, today we will be starting the poetry section of our langue arts books. So please open your books to page 450." instructed Ms. Moore. "Who was the rose that grew from concrete?" She asked quickly. When no raised their hand, she gawked at them in disbelief. "Come on! Tupac!" She shouted. "Does she always do that?" Matt asked Jose, who responded, "Occasionally." A boy in the front of the class, with brown spiky hair highlighted hair raised his hand. "Yes Gage?" Ms. Moore asked. "I forgot what a vowel is." he admitted, Ms. Moore shook her head sadly. "Gage, I have some bad news for you. First off, your name is Gage, and secondly, some people are born book smart, some are born crafty and street smart, but you Gage are neither. Vowels, A, E, O, I, U, and sometimes Y, you can't have a word or name with out them, unless your name is JJ or something like that." said Ms. Moore. "Oh yeah, I forgot." Gage said.

~After School, parking lot

"Thanks a lot Mimi; Alyssa almost broke up with me!" Ian said. "Your welcome." responded Mimi. "Hey Matt, did you know that Mimi accidentally dropped her key on the hood of your car and scratched it." Ian remarked innocently. "Yeah I kinda figured it was her, and she did tell me, that one time she got wasted." Matt responded. "Well as interesting as you two are," Ian began sarcastically, "I have to get going; Alyssa is making me do her homework. Payback, for kissing Kayla." concluded Ian as he walked off. "So, I hear Zapian is making you guys to SAT practice, which I find very weird because we already took our SAT's. And because there's only two weeks of school left too." Matt commented. "Yes, yes he is, so how's Ms. Moore?" Mimi asked Matt. "She's ok, kinda hot, but weird, very weird. Like every ten minutes, she asks us a rap related question, mainly Eminem, but still, she's pretty hot, for a teacher that is." Matt answered. "I've always wanted to hear my boyfriend say he thought his teacher was hot." Mimi said cynically. "So, do you need a lift home or anything?" Matt asked Mimi. "No, Daddy's picking me up." Mimi answered. "It's not like I had the time anyway, have to go to work, now." Matt responded as they approached his car. "I thought your shift didn't start until 4:30?" Mimi questioned. "My regular shift doesn't start until 4:30. But Ivan and I have to be there at 3:25, to pay off Chuy for the time we flooded the kitchen." Matt responded. "How'd you guys flood the kitchen?" Mimi inquired. "We were doing pull-ups on the water pipe that was in the kitchen." Matt answered. "Isn't that your dad over there?" Matt asked as he pointed out Mr. Tachikawa out to Mimi. "Where?" Mimi asked as she hid behind Matt. "Over there talking to Kevin, now he's looking over here, ok now he's back to talking to Kevin, who's looking over here, and now they're both walking over here." Matt informed Mimi. "Are they still walking over here?" Mimi asked. "Apparently, or else I would have told you otherwise." Matt responded sardonically.

"Hello, Yamato, this is Mr. Taichikawa, Mimi's superb father." said Kevin as he introduced Matt to Mimi's father. "Kiss ass," Matt muttered, "Hey Mr. Taichikawa, Kevin," Matt said as Mimi tried to sneak into Matt's car without her father noticing, but because while she was opening Matt's car door a beeping sound was heard from Matt's alarm system. "Mimi, what are you doing here?" Mimi's father asked as he looked over Matt's shoulder. Kevin smirked in satisfaction, as Matt glared at him. "Hi, Daddy, I... I was just admiring the craftsmanship, which was done on Matt's car keys." Mimi responded. "Really? I thought your name was Yamato?" Mr. Taichikawa asked. "Yeah, well I thought your wife would be hotter," Matt murmured, "Yeah, that's my first name, my middle name is Matt." Matt said. Mr. Tachikawa looked at Matt in strange disapproval, as Matt unconsciously lifted up his shirt sleeve revealing his tattoo. "Come, Mimi.... I'm sorry Mimi, but I won't be able to take you home, but Kevin here has offered himself and his car to you," said Mr. Taichikawa, "That is unless, you would like someone else, to offer you their assistance." he said eyeing Matt, who grinned. "That's ok I'll go with Kevin, Matt has to go to work now." said Mimi as her father nodded his head in agreement, but his face quickly turned into one of great disgust and disapproval when Mimi kissed Matt goodbye.

"My car is right this way." Kevin said once Mr. Taichikawa had left. He turned his head back, and gave Matt a malicious smirk, as he put his arm around Mimi. "That car's gonna be my next target, bitch." Matt said to himself as he got into his car and drove off.

~Chuy's Pizza Place: Where Your Entertainment Awaits, 6: 15 PM

"Table twenty-five; get a room, your scaring the kids at the half pipe." Ivan said over the loud speaker. "Chad, table five's been waiting for their salad for ten minutes, get move on it." said Ivan through the window. "Hey Matt, I need you to take down orders, I gotta go help the guys in the kitchen." Ivan told Matt who agreed. "Excuse me, but I'm currently at table twenty-four, and my kids are being bothered by the people at table twenty-five, is it possible to move our table?" a lady asked. "Yeah sure, here you guys can have table five, right next to the arcade." Matt said as he handed the lady a piece f paper. "Hey, any order for table twenty-four, is gonna go to table five." Matt said to the people in the kitchen. "Table twenty-five; expect to find something gross in your food, if you don't quit bothering people." Matt said into the microphone. "Hey, Ishida," a familiar voice said to Matt. "Hey, Kevin." Matt said in a monotone voice. "Can I have three large pepperoni, no wait better make that one cheese and two pepperoni. No scratch that, one pepperoni, one vegetarian, and one pineapple...... No wait what am I saying, Dusty like's squid, so one squid pizza, and two pepperoni." said Kevin purposely switching around his orders, causing Matt to write more than necessary. "Will that be it?" Matt asked acrimoniously. "Yeah, but is it too late to change my order? Of course it isn't, you better just leave it at two large pepperoni, and one pizza, half squid for Dusty and half pineapple for Jay." said Kevin. "Sure, anything else?" Matt asked. "Two 52 ounce Pepsi's, one 52 ounce Dr. Pepper, and one 62 once Coke. Hey guys, get over here." Kevin called over his friends. "What else do you guys want?" Kevin asked his friends. "Give me a king size Butterfinger, uhh, how many tokens can I get with a twenty?" a big guy in a football jersey. "Twenty." Matt answered. "I know, but how much tokens can I get with a twenty?" the big guy said. "Twenty, two zero, twenty." Matt answered. "I know I'm going to give you a twenty, but how many tokens am I going to get?" he asked once again. "Dusty, you're getting twenty tokens." said Kevin in annoyance. "That's all, you had to say." Dusty said to Matt. "We can't all have the brain and the body," muttered Matt as he handed Dusty twenty tokens. "What about you Jay, what do you want?" Kevin asked the boy with bright green hair and eyes. "I'll have a king size Kit-Kat and a king size Crunch bar." said the green haired boy. "That will be, 4.95." Matt said to him, and Jay handed him the money. "Did Brad want anything?" Kevin asked Jay, who shrugged his shoulders. "Ok how much will that be?" Kevin asked Matt. "Two large pepperoni, one large half squid and half pineapple, three 52 ounce drinks and one 62 ounce that will be 27.50." Matt answered and Kevin paid Matt. "Your pizzas will be ready in 30 minutes, and here are your drinks." Matt said as he handed them their cups. "And you will be seated at table eight-teen." Matt said to them as they all walked away, all except Kevin that is.

"Did you want something?" Matt asked. "Nothing really, you know Mimi's a nice girl." Kevin commented, as Matt looked at him strangely. "I'm sure she is." Matt responded as he switched on the loud speaker. "Table twenty-five, get a room, seriously." Matt said into the microphone, and back around to see Kevin still standing there. "Isn't Mimi a good kisser?" Kevin asked Matt. "Yeah, sure, whatever." Matt said as he walked back into the kitchen. Ivan emerged from the kitchen, to see Kevin standing there. "Do you want something?" Ivan asked Kevin who looked up at him. "Where did Ishida go?" Kevin asked Ivan. "He went to go help out in the kitchen." Ivan answered. "Be sure to tell him that, he should watch his back next Saturday that goes for all you fagots that hang around with him too." Kevin threatened them. "Was that a threat?" Ivan asked Kevin as he pointed his metal claw attachment into Kevin's eye. "In the words of Ishida: 'take it however you want.'" Kevin said as he walked away. "Hey, Chad, get over here, your handling the register." Ivan shouted through the window, as he walked back into the kitchen.

"Hey, Matt, DeWolf's getting a bit cocky, he's saying that we should watch our backs next Saturday," Ivan informed Matt, "He said that it refers to anyone who hangs around with you, so should we call up the others?" Ivan added. "Call the others," Matt said, "Tell them to bring along their 'Black Bags' tell them to bring their 'A' material." Matt added, as he put a pizza into the oven. "We already used our 'A' material, we need someone new, that's the only way we could add some new stuff to the prank." Ivan told Matt. "Your right, call up Ian, and his friend Joker, they might be of some use." Instructed Matt. "Does this go to table twenty-five?" Ivan asked Matt as he pointed to the pizza. "Sure does." Matt said with a smile. "What should we use this time?" Ivan asked. "Don't know, something that won't get us fired, but will still manage to get by with a twenty dollar deduction from our paycheck." Matt said. "I guess, we can mix bananas into the tomato sauce, won't get us fired, but it'll be about a thirty dollar reduction." Ivan suggested. "I won't be able to get that one metal glove I wanted, but I guess." Matt said.

~ Thirty minutes later

"You guys better go around back, we're about to deliver this pizza, and then we're gonna get screamed at. But first, what did you two bring?" Matt asked Ian and Joker, who had just arrived. "I learned to pick locks when I was in the fourth grade, I figured I could break into his car and mess it up from the inside." said Joker. "What about you?" Matt asked Ian. "I made this center punch in welding class; I guess his windows could use a modern touch." answered Ian. "Both very good, but, his car has an alarm, Ivan and I are going to be in here working, so we can't disable it like we did last time." informed Matt. "I know how to disable alarms, but not that we need to disable alarms, he has those number things on the handle of his car. So all we need is some compact, and then his finger prints will appear on the number things." said Joker. "Cool, Ok, so you guys go do your stuff, while we distract them, by keeping them inside, basically." Ivan said. "You guys are going to have to do our parts too, so someone has to spray paint the wind shield and someone else has to do the fish in the rims." Matt instructed. "We don't have any fish at hand." Deryck pointed. "Ok forget the fish and the glue, instead, take the gas out of his car." Matt suggested. "Sure, Ok, Ivan's delivering the pizza, so you guys better get going." Matt said as they left through the back door.

"Hey Matt, table eight-teen wants there food," Chad said through the window. "Five more minutes." Matt said as he spat in the tomato sauce for their third pizza. "I'll deliver the first pizza; watch the second one will ya, Jerome?" Matt said to the junior who also worked with them. Matt took the pizza out of the oven and put it on a silver tray, and carried it out the kitchen door. He approached table eight-teen, only to see Kevin and Jay glaring at him, hatred in their eyes. "Here's your pizza, and because you ordered three pizzas, you guys get seventy free tokens." Matt said as he laid the pizza on the table, and a small bag full of tokens on the table. "Alright!" said Dusty as he grabbed the tokens and ran off to play Marvel vs. Capcom. "Hey, Kevin, what's this about 'watching my back' next Saturday?" Matt asked Kevin who looked up at Matt and spat his gum onto Matt's shirt. "It means, to be careful what you do next Saturday, especially at the carnival. "Kevin answered. "Take the gum of my shirt, or I'll make you take it off." Matt threatened Kevin who just shrugged his shoulders, and smeared the gum around. Matt grabbed Kevin's hand twisted it and used his free hand to take the gum off his shirt and stick it Kevin's hair, he then let go of his arm and went back into the kitchen.

~Outside

"Hurry up, I just saw Matt twist Kevin's arm, he might consider leaving." said Kurt through his two-way radio. "I don't think he will he's not one to waste money." said Ian through his two way radio, as he slammed the center punch into Kevin's car window. Joker was inside the car goin through Kevin's CD's, scratching the ones he didn't like. "Joker, Ian, did you two remember to wear those leather gloves I gave you?" Kurt asked. "Yeah," both Ian and Joker answered. "Hey, check this out, Kevin has a Smash Mouth CD in here." Joker laughed, as he grabbed his pocket knife and made a huge scratch down the middle. Deryck was in the backseat of the car; he took out his knife and slashed Kevin's leather seat covers, and stuck his knife into the CD changer, and then took it back out, as he started to pull out all the wiring. "Hey Jose, be careful, you realize you can get arrested for that." Kurt said to him through the two-way radio. "Well, duh, we can all get arrested for what we're dong, luckily this dumbass, choose to park his car back here." Jose said to him as he peeled the date tag of the license plate. "OK, Kurt we're done here, bring your car back here, and we'll leave, and come back in about twenty minutes, once we get the gasoline smell out of our hair that is." said Deryck on the two-way. "No one's gonna be sniffing us, you idiot." Ivan told him.

"That fag, is gonna pay for this," said Kevin as he removed the gum from his hair carefully, "And I know just how we're gonna do that." he concluded his sentence. "How are possibly going to anything to him?" Jay asked, "Look at his crew, he out numbers us." Jay added. "Next Saturday, at the carnival, if I can't get him, I'll get him to do something so stupid, and idiotic, in front of everyone. It'll get him and all his friends arrested. He's going to act on rage, then he's going to attack a defenseless bystander, and then cops will come, they'll all resist the arrest, and the bystander and his friends will walk away freely." explained Kevin, with a scornful look on his face.
