Chapter 8

The Cellar

Carly sat at her desk staring at Jason. She wanted to know what was going on. She always did.

"What," Jason finally questioned. He was feeling uncomfortable under her watchful eye. She wasn't going to like what he was going to say. Riley was like a son to her, and some brunette had just gotten into some trouble with him.

Jason returned her questioning stare, still determining whether to tell Carly or not. Carly always got pissed when any of "Her Boys" got into trouble for a girl. She usually yelled at the girl scaring her to death, and then drag the "troubled one" away.

Realizing Carly wasn't going to give up Jason reluctantly spoke...

-.-

They sat in the room. Emma didn't say a word; Riley was just as silent, except for his occasional comment.

"Would you tell your little girlfriend to talk Johnson?" The man stated in an annoyed tone. This girl wouldn't answer a single question it was like he was trying to talk to Morgan.

"If she don't wanna talk she don't gotta," Riley replied

"Fine. Here's what I think. She's some new threat or employee and you were getting her used to the fact that if she crosses you or your bosses she will pay with her life. All I want to know is where are the drugs?"

Riley didn't reply. He was getting angry. Not a sound out of this girl, and little to nothing out of Johnson. He decided to take another route to get some info.

"Alright you both want to play the silent card," He paused. Still getting no response he started to scream, "Alright you stupid kids, I just want the drugs you're trying to move," still getting no response he turns to face Emma.

He looked at her she looked so calm, like she wasn't even there. As he looked into her eyes he swore that he saw Jason except for the obvious difference in there eye color.

"Alright princess what are you, who are you? Give me a name and hopefully you can be out of this room and in a cell in no time," no response, "Why don't you tell your girlfriend to answer my question, NOW!"

Once he was finished yelling at the two the door opened to reveal an officer, "Sir we need to process these two."

"Fine," Ric stated walking out of the interrogation room.

Riley and Emma, whose name they still didn't know, were led out off the room in hand cuffs and asked to sit wait while they started to process them. Riley turned to Emma and looked at her. He didn't get her it was just a name they wanted.

"Why didn't you answer his question, what is your name anyway," Riley asked only to be met with more silence.

They were standing in the middle of the station when the two walked in. Riley looked at the door. He didn't need this. He was sure that this girl whatever her name didn't need to deal with her either.

"Here comes a whirlwind," Riley spoke.

"What," Emma said

"She speaks. My best friends Mom, Carly, she just walked in."

At Riley's last comment Emma's head shot up. She looked like a deer caught in headlights.

Across the room Carly saw Emma's head pop up. When Jason had told her that Riley had gotten arrested with some brunette she had thought it was Lila. Upon entering the station and seeing Emma she was furious. What had they gotten her into? Slowly Carly approached.

"And the whirlwind approaches," Riley stated one last time.

"You have no idea," Emma added barley above a whisper.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Carly screamed causing both to shudder, "YOU GET YOURSELF ARRESTED AND DON'T EVEN CALL."

"Carly give her a break," Riley stated

"She's not yelling at me," Emma stated barley audible.

"What are you..." Riley was cut off by Carly screaming.

"YOU. I'M YELLING AT YOU RILEY! MY GOD DO YOU GET EVERYONE WHO CROSSES PATHS WITH YOU IN TROUBLE," Carly questioned both Jason and Riley.

"Yes," Ric stated answering Carly's.

Carly looked around most of the station had gone quiet and was listening to her yell at the two mob men. Unaffected by the stares she continued.

"Shut up Ric. What did you do now? Shoot someone? God this is crazy."

Emma had tried to slowly back away from the group she knew she was next, and she was gonna get it. She had been arrested before, but that was all in good fun. Her and Cassie were always in some sort of trouble and knew most of the cops in their town. No one would every really charge them unless they really did something wrong.

"Where do you think you're going," Carly questioned the retreating form of Emma.

"Nowhere," Emma said as she inched forward and stared at the ground.

"Carly you don't even know her," Jason broke in.

"DON'T KNOW HER, DON'T KNOW HER," Carly was fuming, what would Courtney think. Brushing that thought aside Carly continued her rant, "What did you think you were doing. Do you want to go home that bad as to get yourself arrested?"

Emma just looked down. Jason felt bad for the girl. Carly never yelled this bad at anyone, even Sonny. Carly just stood there looking at Emma.

"I didn't do anything," Emma said with force after finally finding her voice.

It took both Riley and Jason a second to grasp what had just happened and they were both shocked. Not many people messed with Carly and yet here stood a girl who was almost yelling at her.

"EMILY CAROLINE M..."

Well ain't that pretty...a wonderful ending to keep you all on your toes...
