Hours later, Jamie paced back and forth. He had wanted to go with Kurt and the others so that he could see the look on his father's face when the police arrested him, but everyone was afraid that the man would try to attack the boy. However, they had agreed to let him come to the jail to finally confront him, although reluctantly. However, Kurt, Greg, and Alex had all understood that Jamie had to face the man to put his mind at ease. Finally, the phone rang. Jamie and Alex both lunged towards the instrument, with the older man being faster.
"Hello?" he queried. He made some attentive noises. Jamie motioned for him to share, but Alex ignored him. Finally, Alex hung up.
"Well?" Jamie queried.
"You can go down to the jail," Alex stated. Jamie took off.
"Oh, this oughtta be fun. I wonder what will happen," Alex muttered. Minutes later, Jamie found himself at the county jail. He parked his motorcycle, and then walked in.
"Can I help you?" the desk sergeant queried.
"I'm here to see Andrew Waite," Jamie responded.
"Um---well---" the desk sergeant stammered.
"You think I'm crazy, don't you?" Jamie asked with a laugh.
"Well---" the man trailed off.
"It's something I gotta do," Jamie told him.
"Right that way," the desk sergeant said. Jamie walked in the indicated direction. Meanwhile, in his jail cell, Andrew Waite was pacing and fuming. How dare Jamie turn on him! He knew the consequences.
"Well, look at you," a voice stated. Andrew turned to see Jamie.
"Do you have any idea what you've done, boy?" he asked.
"Yeah. I've stopped your abuse. And it's about time," was the response. He turned to go.
"Jamie. Jamie, wait. It doesn't---it doesn't have to be like this. I---I can change," Andrew said frantically. The boy turned around.
"I'm going to be asked to be remanded into Alex Freeman's custody. You had a chance to be a father and you blew it," Jamie said.
"Jamie---" Andrew interjected.
"You're done," Jamie interrupted. With that, he walked away.
