What if Angela's scenario happened to Lucy?
Holding Haillie and Zoe's hand she walked down the street.
Haillie was skipped ahead and Zoe caught up to her.
Haillie and Zoe giggled about a pigeon they saw that stole someone's sandwich and Lucy checked her phone.
Tim
How are the girls?
Fine, heading to the playground.
Sounds fun, for the girls.
They are skipping ahead.
Of course they are.
How's work?
This goddam influencer is pissing me off.
Who? Brayden?
Yea, he's so fucking obnoxious.
Wow, he must really piss you off if you're swearing over text.
Sorry, but he does, and his fucking 'fanbase' isn't helping, they attempted to break the window to let him escape.
Oh god, what was he arrested for anyway?
Walking around pointing firearms at pedestrians and their children for a 'public prank'
Was it real?
Yes, and loaded, the DA's office is looking into it.
We're at the park, got to go x
Love you x
Love you too x
'mummy we're here!' Haillie screamed, jumping up and down while Zoe held her hand, a big smile planted over both their faces.
'go knock yourselves out.' Lucy said, the girls screamed in excitement and ran into the park.
Lucy sat down on a bench facing the slide and watched as the girls played.
'mummy watch this!' Zoe shouted and climbed on top of the climbing frame.
'Wow, that's impressive baby!' Lucy shouted back, smiling
|Tim|
He crossed his arms and sighed.
The station was surrounded by screaming fans demanding Brayden's release.
'i can't deal with this shit anymore.' He said to Celina, who nodded in agreement.
'If only they saw the REAL Brayden, not the internet one.' Celina said and rubbed her forehead.
'We have police officers trying to get them away from the windows, but we need someone intimidating and a loud voice to scare them off.' Angela said, she turned to Tim and smirked.
'you.' she said and poked his arm playfully.
'This is you getting back at me for not buying you that burrito, isn't it?' he huffed
'Of course it is.' She said, grinning.
Tim walked towards the exit but heard someone shouting for him.
Grey.
'Tim, come here!' He yelled and signalled to his office.
He walked into the office and leaned against the doorframe.
'What is it?' He asked.
'We found this at the front desk.' Sargent grey said and passed Tim the piece of paper he was holding.
It was Lucy, Haillie, Zoe and him, posing for a photo, and a message saying.
'Release Brayden and we leave them alone.'
'What the fuck is this, a threat?' He asked, but fear rushed through his veins.
'Don't know, that's why we sent backup,.but the park they are at is secluded so it takes 10 minutes for backup to arrive.'
'when did you send them out?'
'4 minutes ago.'
'That's 6 minutes too long.' Tim said, and walked towards the shops.
|Lucy|
She was watching Haillie slide down the slide, while Zoe was on the swings, letting out little yelps of excitement when she got high in the air.
'Mommy watch this!' Haillie said and came down the slide on her stomach, she giggled and ran back up the stairs.
'So this is the corrupt cop's wife, Lucy Chen, or should I say Lucy Bradford.'
Lucy whipped her head around and saw a crowd of young girls, all recording on their phones, walking towards her and her children, a young blonde woman in skinny jeans and a white crop top leading them.
'the only person that is corrupt is Brayden.'
Lucy said and stood up.
'Mommy watch this!' Haillie yelled from the top of the slide.
'What would you kids think for this actually?' the blonde said and switched the camera towards Haillie.
'You don't have permission to record my child!' Lucy yelled and jogged over to Haillie and held her behind her back.
'Oh it's fine, we'll cover up her face.' The blonde said, rolling her eyes.
'What are you even here for!' Lucy yelled at the crowd.
'We want you to admit that Brayden is innocent and doesn't deserve this!'
The crowd cheered and threw their free hands in the air.
•|Zoe|•
I was on the swings while mommy watched my little sister,.Haillie, on the slide.
I was swinging really high when i heard yelling come from where mommy and Haillie were.
A large group of girls surrounded mommy and Started shouting at her.
They noticed Haillie on the slide and started to point their phones in her face, that made me angry.
'i have to protect my little sister.' I muttered
I got off the swings and Tied my shoelace, so I was prepared.
'Hey I found another one!' Someone yelled behind me.
I jumped up and my braid smacked me in the face.
The girl had 4 other girls behind her, she leaned over while recording me.
'what age are you?' she said, and she sounded mean.
'Im 4!' I shouted and crossed my arms over my denim overalls.
'you're 4?' She laughed.
She reached and pulled on my braid and I screamed out.
|Lucy|
She heard Zoe scream and whipped her head around to the other side of the park.
5 girls were surrounding her, pointing phones in her face and laughing.
'Zoe!' She yelled and ran over with Haillie beside her.
She tackled the girl that pulled her daughters braid to the floor and cuffed her.
The young woman screamed and kicked around.
'let me out! This is corruption!' She yelled.
'You assaulted my child!' Lucy yelled back.
Finally Lucy heard sirens from a. Distance and it got closer.
She saw Tim running up followed by 3 other officers, Angela and Celina included.
'you okay?' Angela asked.
'i am, but someone's going to jail for assault.' Lucy said and pointed to the floor.
Celina picked the young woman in cuffs up and put her in the police vehicle.
'Is everything okay?' Tim asked.
'it is now. But the girl in cuffs pulled Zoe's hair.'
'Thats fucking bitch.' Tim sneered and started walking towards the shop.
Lucy grabbed his arm and shook her head.
'Don't make things worse.' She said.
He rolled his eyes and oucked Zoe up.
'you okay ZoZo?' He asked.
'yea! I punched that bitch in the face!' she giggled.
' language!' Lucy laughed.
Angela and Tim laughed too.
Lucy lifted Haillie up and her Tim and Zoe were walking towards the shop to. Go back to the police station.
They got in the car and Lucy buckled Haillie and Zoe's seatbelt.
'That was interesting.' Lucy said, and trurned to Tim.
'yea, and tiring both the girls are sleeping.'
Lucy turned around to see Haillie and Zoe, sleeping, she giggled and snapped a picture of them.
'one tiring day.' say said.
'one tiring day..' Tim repeated.
