Carl looks up at you. His eyes are bright red. Either he's been smoking, or crying. "I-i-i'm sorry." he says nasally. He's been crying. "Carl.." you grab his hand. He pulls away. "I wanted to surprise you and I thought I could pull it off, Dior." he sighs. "Carl.." you repeat. "Huh?" he wipes his face and groans. "I'm not upset. I came to bail you out." you say. He looks at you with disbelief. "How'd you get 3 grand?" he asks. "I know a guy." you smirk. "Delacruz?" he says sternly. "Don't worry about it." you smile and pucker your lips. "I cant." he tries to tug but he's hand cuffed to the table. You look at the camera in the corner. "Well, Fiona wants to talk to you..so see you later Gallagher." you wave goodbye. Carl slightly smiles and tries to wave bye. But, he's cuffed to the table.

You walk out of the questioning room and signal Fiona to go in next. She slightly smiles and walks in. You watch through the window. Fiona touches Carl's face and wipes his eyes. He starts to tear up. He's telling her things he didn't tell you. You sit back in your chair and continue watching. You can see the anger and concern in Fiona's eyes. She just wants the best for Carl. Fiona stays in the room longer than you do. You start to get impatient. Hurry up Fiona you can talk to him when he gets out.

Fiona finally finished talking to Carl. She motions for you to follow her to the front desk. You look back at Carl. He looks like a puppy in a pound. "Last name?" the front desk lady says. "Gallagher." Fiona says. "Carl Gallagher, 17, charged with possession of marijuana. What else do you need to know?" she asks Fiona. "We're here to bail him out." she pulls out the envelope. The lady starts typing. "I'm going to need to see ID." Fiona doesn't hesitate to pull out her ID. She shows the lady and the lady nods. Fiona puts her ID away. The lady asks Fiona "Okay, Ms. Gallagher you are Carl's...?" "Legal Guardian, um sister." Fiona replies. "And you confirm you are over the age of 21 and a legal US Citizen?" Fiona nods. The lady walks over to the printer and comes back with a stack of papers. "Sign in all the marked spots and i'll take the money." Fiona pulls out a pen and starts signing. When she's done. She hands the lady the envelope. Fiona looks at you and mouths, "Thank you." you nod. The lady counts "...900,1000,1100....2700...3000...would you like a receipt Ms. Gallagher?" Fiona nods. "Have a seat over there we'll bring Carl out in a second." the lady hands Fiona the receipt and points to the waiting room.

"Hey." Carl says as he walks up to you. You stand up and hug him. He hugs you back. "What happened?" you ask him. "Long story.. can we get some food?" he asks. Fiona nods and you all walk out of the police station. You catch the L down to a McDonalds. You're not hungry and neither is Fiona. You two let Carl order and find a table to sit at. "What did he tell you?" you ask Fiona. She shakes her head no as Carl comes back with his food. He sits down and begins to eat. Damn, it's like he hasn't eaten in days. After he finishes he leans back. "What happened Carl, tell me why you did it." you say seriously. He adjusts himself and looks at Fiona. "Fine...I started selling again because..I wanted to buy you something. I wanted to show you how much I loved you and thought about you, I was lovestruck and wasn't thinking of the consequences. The guy I was selling to tried to cheat me and I might've maybe.. I don't know they wanna call it assault but he deserved it." he says. "What did you do to the guy?" Fiona asks. Carl clenches his teeth. "Broke his arm and left him there.." Fiona sighs. " I thought you killed someone. They were going to lock you up for breaking someones arm over weed?" Carl nods. "Well that doesn't matter anymore. Please Carl, don't try to do anything without thinking anymore. I don't always have 3 grand laying around. Next time, i'm leaving you. I don't care if i'm about to have your child." you say to him. "Thank you Delacruz. Seriously, I owe you big time." Carl says. You smirk. Fiona looks at you two. "Stop it."
