“Le Bete, have you got those new designs for me or what?” Phillip asked, standing up to greet him by sticking out his hand.

This wasn’t the first time Tucker found himself sitting in the detention cell. Because he hadn’t actually done anything wrong, he couldn’t be properly arrested, but he was prepared to be spending the night. He hadn’t taken the offer to call anybody to bail him out because the only person he could really call was Flynn and he didn’t want his cousin knowing he had been irresponsible. He didn’t want to worry him. Honestly, Tucker didn’t want to worry anybody. 

Hearing somebody enter from the other side, he couldn’t help but look up to see who it was. Perhaps a new guard taking the shift. “You shouldn’t be here,” Tucker said when he saw Liliana’s familiar face in the dim prison lighting.

“Stop making me giggle!” she insisted, swatting him on the arm before extending her own out, phone equipped. “I can’t get this selfie right if you keep making me laugh!”

“So, is that a still ‘no’ to movie night?” Ariel asked once more as soon as her older sister had opened the apartment door, rather than greeting her, hoping to catch her by surprise. 

One of the most important people to Ferris was his older brother: Phillip. No his stingy and rather rude father, but the one who had really taken care of him and showed him why family should be considered the most extravagant treasure. Ferris had great respect for Phillip, especially as the other unlike their father had encouraged his music career. He always wanted to make Phillip proud, show him that he wasn’t just a deadbeat spending most of his time singing on the street corners. On one such day though, Ferris visited the big glowing building of Charmant Corporations to see his brother while he was at work. He waited as patiently as he could until after the board meeting was over and all the other members left, before he knocked on the door and peered in at the young CEO. “Hey, how’s it going, Boss Man?” He smiled.

“I’m fine mum, I promise,” he assured the woman with a smile, moving to sit in the seat across from her. “But maybe I can help you? Let me help out in the store whenever I’m not doing classes. I mean I already spend some time volunteering with the animals at the shelter, why wouldn’t I be able to find the time to help my own mum with her own shop?”

Walking up to the counter, Nick greeted the shopkeeper. “Sorry to bother you, Mr. Long. We’re currently looking for a thief in the area and security camera footage picked up this man leaving the store next to yours last night,” he began, sliding a slightly blurry black and white picture in front of the other. “Have you noticed any of your belongings going missing within the last 24 hours?” he asked. “Or maybe even seen this man? We’re trying to find this guy however we can. If you can give us any sort of a hint to where he is we’d really appreciate it.”

“Okay so what do you think? Black or red?” Raegan swiveled around to somebody else in the store, holding up two hangers with her potential choices. “It’s for a staff welcome dinner. I may be an assistant but they’re promoting me in a sense by giving me more hours this school year. I want to make a good impression.”
