season one ; episode four { Spy Games }
chapter sixteenTHE ROUTLEDGE TWINS arrived at the Château. Their heads hung low with disappointment after not finding the gold they thought would be with the shipwreck that was the Royal Merchant. Brooklyn tried to rake her brain to figure out if there's any other place it could be but she was clueless.
John B pushed open the door, throwing his and hers bags on the ground and throwing himself down on a chair with Brooklyn who turned her head to see Cheryl, the DCS worker. "Hey, guys."
"You know, Cheryl, it's kinda of a bad time for a check-in." John B told her, snatching some left over food from a few nights ago.
"Not a check-in. We're here to take you both."
The twins shared a look. This woman really did have the shittest timing. "Today? Really?"
"It's just for a few weeks until your hearing."
"No, no, no. Cheryl, look, we are not going into foster care, okay?" Brooklyn stated, running her hand through her hair annoyed. "We are not gonna go be a part of your little system."
The sound of a radio beeping made their heads turn. Behind them was a police officer. "Guys, this is Deputy Thomas." The two siblings stepped away from the scary officer. "He works with juveniles for the sheriff's department." The two walked over to Cheryl. "Look, I know Uncle T is down in Mississippi working at a casino. He hasn't been here in months."
"What?" John B scoffed. John B attempted to run past the officer but he caught on and stepped in front of the boy. "No, see, that's my nightmare right there. Look, I- I- we want emancipation."
Brooklyn shot her brother a look. Did he even know what emancipation was? "Emancipation from who? There's nobody here but you two."
"Uh... asylum, then."
"On what grounds."
"On- on solid grounds. On holy grounds. Look, I feel real- real prosecuted right now by you and... especially Mr. Big Head over here." Brooklyn punched his arm as he clearly had no idea what he was talking about and it was just embarrassing.
The officer shot the twins a look. "What are you lookin' at, bro? What're you gonna do? You gonna tase us?" Brooklyn scoffed.
John B attempted to run off again and again and again but each time the officer caught him. John B threw some old cereal at him which only resulted in him grabbing John B and lifting him up.
