He was discussing what they were going to do to the man they had arrested. they had taken him into custody last night. They were returning my dads wallet. They had also come to apologize all the damage this man had done to our family. When the saw me, the conversation stopped. One of the police officers offered to help me to the couch, and he was cute so I said "yes".

Once I was settled the conversation resumed. One of the police officers wondered if I'd like to come give testimony at this mans trial. I wasn't sure, but I said "alright" to please my parents. Everybody wanted to see this man behind bars, and if I could do that I would. It was early evening when the officers left, and they both left well wishing cards for me on the table. I waddled into my room, and took a nap on my bed. I was still having nightmares of Bradin, but I was feeling better after having visited him this morning. Just as I was waking up from my nap, the phone rang. I answered half awake, and it turns out it was Erika.

"hey" I answered.

" Becky" Is that you.. "

"yes" I answered. "what's up Erika? " I asked

" have you seen Bradin lately?" She asked almost worriedly.

" yea… " I stuttered.." I saw him this morning" I replied

" Is He okay?" She wanted to know.

" He's alright" I tried to think fast

" He had a surgery this morning." He was asleep when I left." came my reply.

" I'll pick you up tomorrow, we should go see him when He's awake. " She told me.

" that's great " I replied "thanks."

" I'll grab you the second I get out of school" She said.

" I'll wait for you at 2:15 then…" I replied.

" alright" She laughed.

" bye" I said.

"bye Becky" She responded.

Dinner was quiet and nobody really talked. My brother was happy that dads wallet had been found. He kept smiling at me knowing it was I that had helped all the pieces fit together. In his mind I was hero. After dinner I got a trash bag and some duct tape, and wrapped my leg up and took a bath with my leg over the side of the tub. I finally felt clean, for once. After my bath I stood in front of the mirror, and dried my hair with a towel. I still had Bradin on my mind, I couldn't help but think of him. I knew He was my perfect prince charming, and even the thought of him dying , was one I couldn't bare.
