Chapter 8

That evening we told the rest of the gang the events of the meeting. Our laughter was interrupted by both a knock on the door and the phone ringing.

Alex?

Whichever Darry

Fine, you get the phone and I'll get the door. Explained Darry

Okay Darry. I said with a smile.

At the door

Hello….

Mr. Curtis. Mr. Scott said casually

What the Fuck are you doing here? Darry snarled

Nice to see you too Darry. Mr. Scott said coolly.

This is harassment. Darry yelled

Well aren't we touchy. Mr. Scott said with a sarcastic tone

Get off our property you ass. Darry snapped

Meanwhile in the space between the kitchen and living room.

Hello Curtis residents. I answered

Yes I need to speak to Mr. or Ms. Curtis. The voice asked.

This is Miss. Curtis. I said

Okay, oh where are my manners I'm Detective Daniels. The office said.

As in Detective Daniels that was at Tulsa high school during the arresting of Dan Scott the principal. I asked inferring the facts that I already knew were true.

Yes ma'am and I'm afraid I have terrible news. He paused Dan Scott escaped from police custody……..Ma'am are you still there? He asked

Yes. I managed to choke out. Will you send the police over now? I asked now little afraid.

Why ma'am? He asked confused

When you called there was a knock at the door my brother Darry answered it and now he's yelling and swearing. Plus he never does that unless he's pissed… I explained. Could you hang on a minute?

Sure thing Miss. He said politely

Thank you. I said

Johnny came here for a minute? I asked

Coming Al. Johnny replied

Whose here? I asked now dread the answer.

Mr. Scott. Johnny said grimly.

Thanks. I replied. Detective Daniels…. I paused to take a breath Dan Scott here. I said fearing for all of my family.

Officers and I will be over in a sec. It will be okay ma'am we're on our way. Daniels told me.

Bye. I said into the phone and hung up.

I walked outside to find Darry and Mr. Scott stand on the lawn. I went down there and whisper to Darry the Police are the way. Darry whisper Good. With that I went back up onto the porch and waited.
