"Who is that guy?" Scott asked, not to anyone in particular.
"I can't believe it." Cole said, loud enough for those around him to hear.
"Yo, you know him Cole?" Auggie asked.
Cole cleared his throat and replied, "Uh, yeah, you could say that."
Peter noticed the Cliffhangers had stopped, "everything okay guys?" he asked.
He and Sophie noticed everyone looking at the man standing by Roger. "Who is that Peter?" asked Sophie.
"Cole knows who he is." David obnoxiously told Peter and Sophie.
"Is that true Cole?" Sophie asked, looking away from the man to Cole.
Cole rubbed his head, feeling uneasy he mumbled, "Thanks a lot David," then he spoke loud enough for Sophie and Peter to hear, "Yeah, I do."
Peter could tell that Cole was uneasy; he could tell by the way he was talking and the look on his face. "Cole you don't have to see him if you don't want to. He didn't call ahead and get the proper kind of clearance to come visit you."
"Thanks Peter, but I think I need to, if that's okay." Cole told him.
"Sure man whatever you want;" Peter told him, "I'll go over with you."
"'k" Cole responded, and then he and Peter started over to Roger and the man.
"Alright, the rest of you, get showered and get something to eat and then I believe we made it back in time for History class." Sophie instructed.
There were moans and grumbles from everyone.
"Alright, alright, let's get going guys." Sophie instructed.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
The girls were on their way back to the dorm when Juliette asked, "So, who do you think that guy was?"
"I don't know, but he wasn't that bad looking if you ask me." Kat spoke up.
Daisy, Shelby, and Juliette were all surprised at Katherine's comment.
Katherine smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "I know you guys can't tell me you think different."
The three of them didn't say a word, all of them laughed instead. They opened the door to dorm and started to get ready.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
As the guys walked back to the dorm, they were less talkative than the girls were. They were all tired and didn't want anything more than an endless sleep.
"Any guesses on who that guy was?" Ezra piped up.
No one acknowledged his comment; they all just walked back in silence.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Peter and Cole walked up to Roger and the man.
"Hey Roger," Peter acknowledged, and then turned towards the man, "Hello. I am Peter Scarbrow, director of Horizon." He extended his hand out.
"Hello, I am Officer Brian Nicholson" The man responded shaking Peter's hand.
"Hey Brian." Cole spoke up and gave him a small wave.
"Hey Cole, long time no see." Brian replied, giving Cole a small pat on the back.
"Is Cole in some kind of trouble?" Peter asked, worried because there was a police officer here to see Cole.
"Oh no, I am just here to talk to him if that is okay." Brian answered.
Peter looked at Cole, leaving it up to him to decide if Brian could stay.
Cole saw Peter, Roger, and Brian looking at him, he realized that he had to speak up, he cleared his throat and said, "uh-yeah, sure. Can I take a shower and get cleaned up first?"
"Yeah man," Brian replied, "is there somewhere I can wait?"
"You can come to my office and we can talk." Peter told, more than asked, Brian.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Cole turned around and headed towards the dorm, he was due for a much needed shower. He walked into the dorm and saw that everyone was already out of the shower and was finishing getting ready.
"Yo Cole, who was that?" Scott asked as he sat down on his bed and started tying his shoes.
"He's the cop who arrested me the times I got arrested." Cole told them as he dropped his bag down on the floor
"How many times you been arrested?" Ezra asked bluntly.
"Four and I am on probation till I am eighteen, plus instead of getting my drivers license at sixteen I have to wait until I am eighteen." Cole told them as he took off his second shoe.
"Whoa." Auggie said, "That sucks."
"Tell me about it," Cole said as he slipped off his jacket and let it fall on his bed, "I will see you guys in class."
"Wait, you're telling me this guy arrested you all four times?" David asked.
"Yep, I never was the luckiest person." Cole said as he headed for the bathroom.
"You not eating?" Ezra asked as he followed David, Scott and Auggie out the door.
"Nah, I have to go talk to this guy." Cole informed, then he went into the bathroom and shut the door.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
As Cole stood in the shower and let the water run down his back, he thought about the first time the he and Brian met.
*Flashback*
The car sped along with the four young men in it. Cole was 13 at the time, he was in the company of three 16-year-olds whom he 'became friends' with. It was about 2:30 in the morning and the four were far from tired.
"What are we gonna do now?" Cole asked as he took a hit of the joint that was being passed around.
"Let's go 're-decorate' some cars." One of the guys suggested.
No one disagreed, so they got together the empty beer bottles that they were done with and looked out for easy targets.
Cole took the last swig of his beer and chucked the bottle out of the window. The bottle landed on the windshield of a car that they had just passed. The windshield shattered and drunken laughter erupted amongst the teens.
As the teens drove around, Cole threw another bottle, but this time after it landed on the ground beside the car, the red and blue siren lights went on behind them.
"Shit!" The driver said as he looked in the rearview mirror and stepped on the gas pedal.
The car speed escalated and the chase began. Two other police cars appeared, so now it was three against one.
The police car closest to the car that the teens were in, bumped the back of the car which caused the driver to lose control of the car and the car started to skid out of control. The car smashed against the wall of a local building, the driver's side was pinned up against the wall, lucky for Cole he was in the front passenger's seat.
Cole opened the door and got out; a sudden wave of dizziness came over him. He had smoked enough weed and drank enough beer to give him a buzz, he was not totally stoned or drunk, but he was affected.
The police cars all skidded to a stop and the officers got out.
"FREEZE!" The officer closest to Cole yelled.
Cole turned towards the man and could see that he had his gun drawn. His first reaction took over; he took of running towards the nearby housing subdivision. As he was running he heard the man yell, "I'm after him! Call for backup and secure the other three."
Cole knew that he couldn't run for long, in the state that he was in. He had to find a place to hide. He darted into a nearby yard and got only five feet before he felt a strong force on top of him.
"When I say freeze I mean it! Hands behind your back son!" The officer barked.
Cole was struggling like crazy to try and get out of the tight grasp that the cop had on him, but the cop worked out and it showed.
"Stop fighting me and it will hurt less." The cop instructed.
After the officer managed to get the handcuffs on, he stood Cole up. Cole faced the cop and spat on his shoes, keeping up his 'tough guy' image.
The officer walked Cole back to his car and read him his rights. That officer was Brian Nicholson.
*End Flashback*
Cole was shut the door to the dorm and walked towards Peter's office. He put on his jacket halfway to Peter's office. He walked into the administration building and headed towards Peter's office.
He reached the closed door to Peter's office and knocked lightly.
"Come in." He heard Peter call.
He slowly turned the knob and entered the office.
Peter was behind his desk and Brian was sitting in the chair across from him. Brian stood up as Cole came in.
Brian was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a white striped red polo shirt on. The 'USMC' tattoo that was on his right bicep showed. Brian was a part time marine. When Cole first saw him he was a bit intimidated by him because of his muscles that could be seen through his shirt and on his arms.
He was 6'4 with a dark brown marine crew cut. He had hazel eyes and a strong face. He was holding his black leather jacket in his left hand.
"Can we walk around campus and talk Peter? Or do we have to stay in here?" Cole asked.
"Whichever you are more comfortable with." Peter replied.
"Okay, come on Brian." Cole said.
"Good talking with you Mr. Scarbrow." Brian told Peter as he put on his black leather jacket.
"Please, call me Peter." Peter instructed as he saw Brian and Cole out of his office.
Cole and Brian walked down the steps of the administration building and started their walk.
