STATION*

Beautiful, he'd be sentenced to life improvement for sure, even his father won't be able to do a thing.

The investigators opened a case file for him, and they were about to start filling it with shenanigans when their general appeared.

General McCall, Hyce's father.

"Banks?" He leaned over to his desk.

"Hey, Mr. McCall" Roonie smiled, looking humourless.

"What are you doing here?" The man frowned.

"The murder case at Forte, involving five students" a cop replied.

"No, no it can't be. Banks is my son's friend. Tell me how he'd be involved in that shit. Isn't one of the top 3 students in his year?" Mr. McCall argued.

Roonie almost laughed, how gullible can people be?

"He's the leader of a frat club, sir" the cops respectfully said.

"And that gave you all the effrontery to arrest my son without a solid evidence?" Master X's voice boomed throughout the station as he entered.

Almost all the cops stood as the man strode smoothly towards the middle table with his walking cane.

"Xavier?" General McCall drew his brows.

"Yeah, so you better think twice! Show me the evidence indicating that he killed the students" Master X sneered.

"Evidence?" General McCall faced the cops.

"We received an anonymous report" the cops replied, and he frowned again.

"Anonymous report? And you decided to arrest him without further investigation? How dare y'all!" Master X confronted loudly.

"You're a known criminal, Xavier. It's normal to feel suspicious towards your son" General McCall said.

"I am the criminal, not my son! It's either you let him go now or I take action, and y'all won't like it!" Master X fired.

From the door of the station, uncle Edward is standing with Pearl, and they've both been watching since the start.

They arrived at the same time actually.

"You love your son so much, Xavier. Why then are you always pretending? Why?" Uncle Edward muttered.

Pearl looked at him with mixed feelings before looking back into the station.

"Have him released, but we'll make sure to get to the root of all these" General McCall said.

"Do anything you want, just let my son go!" Master X glared.

The release was guaranteed, and without waiting for his father, Roonie stormed out of the station.

Pearl and uncle Edward quickly hid as Master X came out too, catching up with Roonie outside.

"Stop right there, Roonie!" He gritted, and Roonie turned back sharply.

"Why did you come?"

"I was called! You could have easily handled them at the Loft, you knowingly let them bring you to create a mess and congratulations, you successfully created the mess! I lost a deal before coming here to get your arse!" Master X yelled.

"The deal you lost is much more important than your son?" Roonie walked fast to him like a surreal entity.

"Yes! Everything around me is much more important than you, cursed child! My wife would still be breathing if you didn't come alive! Your sister would still be alive devil! You ruined everything!" Master X yelled again, and Roonie grinded his jaws before scoffing.

"You disgust me, Xavier" he muttered, and Master X's hand tightened on his walking stick, unable to say a thing.

Roonie knowingly bumped his shoulder on his father, and the man nearly fell as he walked away, down the road.

Master X got in his car and drove off the opposite road, then uncle Edward and Pearl came out of their hiding places, going after Roonie who has gone very far on the tar.

They had to take uncle Edward's car, chasing till they stopped behind him and came out to block him.

"You walk pretty fast" uncle Edward smiled, and Roonie's eyes darted to Pearl who tightened her lips.

"Hyce and Axel weren't picking, had to call your dad and uncle" she said, but that didn't make him stop staring at her.

She held eyes with him, and uncle Edward had to cough to make himself visible again.

"Xavier will come around" Uncle Edward assured.

"Not interested" Roonie replied.

"You can drive with me in my car, I'll take you back to the Loft" Pearl quickly offered.

"Will you be fine?" Uncle Edward asked immediately.

"Should be" Roonie said.

"I'll come make dinner for you guys again one of these days, and you're invited" uncle Edward faced Pearl who smiled.

Edward left in his car, then Pearl and Roonie journeyed back to her car in front of the station.
