Gun

The boys were in school and everyone else was working.

I was sitting at home, typing.

I had started with at least six different ideas but nothing seemed to match.

I was taking a break when the doorbell rang.

Immediately, he was suspicious.

Either the person was a curious neighbor, or a joker and, I really didn't want to deal with either one, but I opened the door anyway.

"Earth? What are you doing here?"

Regardless of what it was, he didn't look happy about it.

"Sorry, Gun." He pulled on his handcuffs. "I have to take you."

I laughed. "Very funny, Earth."

Was this White's joke? Get me arrested? I have been there, I have done that.

"Gun, please don't make this more difficult than it already is," he replied solemnly, he was a very good actor.

"Okay, I'll go along with you," I replied. "What did I do wrong, Officer?"

He turned me around, putting the handcuffs on my wrists behind my back.

"You have an assault charge. I have to read you your rights, okay?"

The hell, he sounded so damn serious.

"Attack on whom?" I asked.

"A man claims you attacked him at his son's soccer tryouts," he replied, leading me to his car.

The Sorrowful James.

Shit.

"But that was ages ago," I argued. "Why is he pressing charges now?"

Could I really get arrested for lashing out at a bitch? I needed to call Mike.

Earth proceeded to summon my Miranda Rights as I got in the car.

Shit! I was really being arrested.

Earth didn't say much as we drove to the station.

I went through the fingerprinting process and my photos were taken for the record.

I even had to change into an orange jumpsuit.

I'm not sure that was necessary.

"I'll put you in the holding cell," he said sadly.

I could tell that he hated doing this.

Damn that James.

Gently, he pushed me into the cell and closed the door.

"Hey, Ladybug." White was sitting against the wall, wearing similar overalls. "Why the hell are you here?"

"Assault attack," I replied. "And you?"

"Theft," he replied. "Apparently, just because Earth let me go to steal his car doesn't mean his superior will."

This did not make sense.

I sat down next to him. "Doesn't that sound a bit suspicious to you?"

"They can't do this to me! I'll end up being someone's bitch!"

We were both surprised to see Krist being pushed into our cell and he looked just as surprised to see us.

"What are you guys doing here?"
