"I'm getting out of here."
Rafe frowned at the man sharing a cell with him in the police station he'd been taken to. The guy was dirty, with lanky hair and blood shot eyes. "Why do you mean?" he asked the guy, leaning forward on the built in bench he was sitting on.
Simon rubbed his thumb over his palm, his leg bouncing as his stringy hair swayed around his head and his grey eyes searched the room. "I've got to get out. I can't stay here any more," he grabbed on to a handful of his hair, "No one to bail me out."
"How'd you wind up in here?" Rafe asked. The man's clothes were dirty, ripped. As if he'd been living on the street. Or had been on the run. "What'd you do?"
"Thought I was homeless. Guess I kind of am. Took a hotdog from a stand some guy was handing them out, got caught. Said I stole it. Brought me here." Simon wanted to bang his head back but resisted the urge, barely. "I was so hungry though."
Rafe licked his lips, about to open his mouth when an officer came up to the door of the holding cell and banged a boom stick against the bars.
"Rafe. You're bail is paid," the officer said, putting keys in to a lock to allow Rafe out. "Lucky guy too, hot chick did it."
"Let me out too," Simon spoke up, but didn't move from the corner he'd been in since being brought here.
Rafe rose and walked out of the cell, the officer just ignored Simon and slammed the door back shut behind him. "Who is that guy?" Rafe asked the cop as he was guided towards the front.
The guard snorted, "He's a bum who stole something. Now we have to keep him here. Damn bastards."
Rafe just frowned and glanced back once more to look at the man he had shared a cage with for afew hours. He studied Simon closer. The clothes he wore were nice, which mean they were expensive, they just looked like rags because they were dirty and ripped. Once the cell was out of few, Rafe turned forward once more until he caught sight of Elia. And Damien and Kiyo, all waiting for him.
