JOHNNY AND CHARLIE ARRIVED AT THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTRE, waiting for Robby's release. Charlie couldn't contain her excitement, practically bouncing up and down the entire journey.
As they reached the entrance, Johnny leaned forward and attempted to open the locked doors. When he realised they wouldn't budge, instead of leaving it be, he tried pulling them harder.
"I don't think that's going to wo-" Charlie began with a small laugh before someone behind interrupted her.
"It's locked. They'll buzz it open when he's on his way out," Daniel informed them, joining the pair.
Charlie furrowed her brows in confusion as Johnny retorted, "You've got to be kidding. They called you?"
"I called them," Daniel clarified. "With Shannon still in rehab, I just wanted to make sure someone was here to pick him up."
"Well, I'm here, aren't I?" Johnny replied with a harsh tone.
Charlie shot Johnny a warning glance. "Dad . . . "
"I'm not looking for trouble. I'm just here for Robby," Daniel explained, trying to diffuse the tension.
Charlie decided she didn't want to listen to them bicker on and on so tried to distract herself by looking around. She adjusted her bracelets and searched for something to occupy her attention when she heard a familiar voice.
"Seriously?" Robby scoffed, his face clearly showing his anger towards the two men standing before him. However, when his gaze met Charlie's, her face instantly lit up.
"I told you I don't want you here," Robby said, addressing his father directly.
"You're my son. I wanted to be here for you," Johnny asserted, but his words seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Daniel nodded in agreement. "And so did I."
Robby turned to Daniel this time, "Don't do me any favors. It's your fault I was here."
Charlie remained silent, just watching the attempts of Daniel and Johnny trying to get through to Robby. Though, she couldn't blame him for his resistance.
"I know you're upset. I was doing what I thought was best for you," Daniel expressed, but Robby averted his gaze with a dismissive scoff. "Now that you're out, i just want you to know that I'm here. You'll always have a home at miyagi-do."
"Or with me," Johnny interjected.
Despite their offers, Robby showed no interest and he made sure they knew it by the look on his face, "Both of you stay out of my life."
Robby walked between them, ignoring their calls, and headed straight for Charlie. She enveloped him in a hug and he whispered, "Can we go?" To which she nodded in response.
