Surrounded. Demon boarder patrol on every side. You glance up from the papers you were reading. "Mm... Does the boarder patrol have permission to roam wherever they please now?"
Setting the papers down slowly. Your pace was almost leisurely. "You're under arrest." One of them says stiffly. You raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Under what charges?"
Don't panic. There is nothing to fear. Everything could be resolved within minutes if you just stall long enough. There was no way Sullivan would allow this.
"Harboring a fugitive. Conspiring to demolish order. Terrorizing the population. And for allegedly being... human."
You blink. Turning your head slightly to look at the one reading the charges. "Do you have evidence for your claims?" If they didn't then you were going to-
"You're son has confessed to being a human in front of several boarder patrol officers and staff members of Babyls." The officer in charge derailed your chain of thoughts.
"Pardon?" He did what?!? Where was Balam? Where was Kalego? Why didn't anyone stop him??? Was he safe? Did he get hurt? Who had your baby??!?
Your mind raced. Several thoughts swarming as you internally panicked. "Your son has confessed while in custody. There was no coercion. Everything said by him was of his own free will."
Oh... oh that child. You sighed. Rubbing your temples for a moment. "I see. I see." It was over. The jig was up.
"I assume everything that was said was recorded?" You asked already knowing the answer. "Yes... it would be best if you came quietly and didn't resist arrest."
You closed your eyes. Technically you could run. But there were a lot of demons here. It wouldn't turn out well. It could make things worse.
Slowly you stood up from the couch. "I'd like to make a phone call." A dry smile painted your lips. "I'm afraid that's not-" "if you're going to hold me to the law, i will also hold you to it. That wasn't a request. That is my right."
"... Two minutes." The officer growls. You pull out your cell phone and dial a number. The phone barely rings when a frantic voice answers. "WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU HURT? I'LL COME GET YOU NOW!!"
Laughable really. How that voice makes you feel so safe even in all this chaos. Swallowing the emotions down you speak up.
"Papa... I need you to listen." The other end goes silent. "I don't have a lot of time." You look out the window. Noticing the swarm of demons ready to snatched you if you tried to run. You smiled a tired smile.
"I just want to say. What you've done... for me... for Iruma. Was everything." You murmured into the receiver. "We had nothing. And then... you swooped in like a hurricane and whisked us away. It was wonderful."
Tears start to fill your eyes. You though back to everything that has happened. How lucky you are to have met so many kind demons.
"You might not understand how much you've helped us. But to me... i don't think my heart will ever forget... you're my savior... my child's support." You're voice grows shaky.
"Dear i-" "Papa." You cut Sullivan off. Swallowing down your tears. "I'm so happy to be your child... thank you... thank you for picking up a stray like me. Thank you for giving me a home. A family."
You turn to face the officers holding the restraints. "But I'm also sorry papa. Sorry iruma and I won't be home for dinner. Sorry you might be lonely for a while... sorry... so sorry I'm human."
