Chapter 3
"What's your name, young lad?" a tall doctor asked me. "Falco.." I replied. He nodded to me and then tured around. He began talking to a colleuge of his, i just looked down, the sun began to rise, it was now 8am. I was beginning to worry, what if they found out that it was me? I can't face jail, it's too scary.
He turned back around to me, looking at me very strangly. "Do you have anywhere else where you can go, any family anywhere" he asked me. I slowly shook my head. "Right, well then.... looks like we are going to have to put you in care." As soon as i had heard him say that, i suddenly went back into shock. I have heard of these care units, they are horrible. Everyone in there are mean. I don't want to go there, i'd much rather stay on my own than go into care. "No..." i whispered. "What was that, Falco?" He asked me, i just had a blank look on my face. "Nothing.." I replied. He gave me a stern look, as though he was angry with me. "Hmm, well ok then, how old are you boy?" The way he said that to me, it was almost like he was intimidating me, treating me like a little child. Ok, maybe i was, but i don't like it when people do this.
I turned to him with a sly look on my face. "I'm 10, and you don't need to patronize me like that, sir." His face suddenly turned dull, he knew right then that i would be a handfull to deal with. "Don't get cocky with me, boy, you will show me respect." There he goes again, yeah, i am cocky, but that is just the way i am. Usually i would argue back, but in this case, the sensible thing to do is just agree with him. "Yes, sorry sir." Still with the sly look apon my face.
"Right, our work here is done. C'mon boy, pack your things and get in the car." The doctor said. This is it, i have nothing here now. I am being taken away, forever. I packed all my things, clothes, games, and my one special stuffed bear that my grandma gave to me before she died. I got into the car, we began to drive. I looked in the back window to see my house, all the police tape around it. This was the last time i would ever see it again. I faced back, with my head down, but i had no regrets for what i did. After all, i was trying to protect my mother. We stopped at a ship, i did not understand why. "Where are we sir?" I asked. "Oh, i thought you knew... the care center is on the planet Corneria, so we are taking you there."
I could not belive it, me, leave Zoness! I had been here my whole life, it is my home, my life. They can't take that away from me. Surely. But i guess i had no choice. What was the point of me even arguing, i would still have to go. "Hurry up, get on the ship, we are running short on time." I picked up my bags from the back of the car, walked over towards the ship. Took a last look back, knowing that i wont see the beauty of Zoness for a long time to come. With my head down, i boarded the spacecraft, the engines started up, we began to hover, the we took of to space.
Sorry this chapter is only short, i kinda ran out of ideas for this chapter, but fear not. I will be back hopefully longer chapters to make up for this short one! Hope you enjoyed it though ;)
