966 I'm Going There Again!

Gary was quickly trying to analyze the situation. He looked at the mother in the back who had deep concern, but her head was also facing the ground as if she was scared.

He had to assume that this was the mother of the two kids, but she didn’t say anything when seeing them, perhaps because of the pressure of the entire situation.

Then there was the White Rose agent. Having seen the marking on the clothing many times, Gary knew what he was looking at was the real thing.

“Let me get a clear evaluation of the situation,” the White Rose agent named Ryan said as he pushed himself between the two groups of people.

“The damage that has been done here, the door is even bent in. That’s clearly the strength of an Altered state. Are you an Altered, and did you attack this man there?” Ryan asked.

“I mean…I did,” Gary said, perplexed. “But the situation warranted it, and I was just defending myself.”

“You were the one who threw the first strike that made contact,” Sir Ken said, still calmly in his seat while the whole situation was unfolding.

“As an Altered, even if this man was to attack you, it wouldn’t have done too much damage. You know being an Altered, one has to take better care of themselves and not abuse their powers.”

“For the attack on two men, and going beyond that of self-defense, I’m going to have to take you in,” Ryan explained.

Ryan was already moving toward Gary, and Sir Ken was just sitting there with a smug look on his face, glancing mainly at the window, not even paying attention to the situation fully at hand.

“But that’s not fair!” the boy shouted. “That big meanie slapped me, and then he was about to hit Erica as well. That’s why the kind man helped us!”

“He was just beating up the big bullies, so why is he getting taken away?”

The mother, now understanding the situation, lifted her hand up to her mouth and was holding back her tears. She wanted to say something, but the guard who had gone to retrieve her stood even closer to her, making sure that she was aware of his presence.

“Listen, there were multiple ways an Altered could have dealt with the situation, yet he chose violence. That is not the right choice; you do not put out a fire with fire,” Ryan explained.

“But then who would have stopped him? When there are bullies in the world hurting those that are weak, who is meant to stop them?” Erica asked.

“You weren’t here, and if he hadn’t arrived, then I would have been hurt even more! It’s because of you that there are people like this all over the world!”

“Hey!” Ryan snapped at her. “I am part of the White Rose. I signed up to give up my life to serve the people, to help them from threats like the Altered here!”

“It’s because of me that people like you can sleep easier at night. You’re lucky that all you guys got was a little slap. What if this man was the attacker and he had sent you flying through the door? This is why I act.”

When coming close to Gary, he took a step back, wondering if he should fight or try and escape, but he felt his back hitting against someone and a hand placed on his shoulder.

“Just go along with it,” Kai whispered. “We are too close to Centerfield to cause a problem; it’s the next stop. With everything that happened recently, we don’t want to cause a mess so close. We will deal with the situation differently.”

Kai didn’t seem too worried about what was happening. It wasn’t like the last time Gary had been taken away.

“Fine,” Gary said as he held out his hands. The White Rose agent had pulled out a set of special cuffs. They were partly metallic with small links that had a visible connecting electrical current running through them.

“I’m happy that you are coming along without a large amount of resistance. When the train stops, you are to follow me,” Ryan explained.

“Will we be going to the underground prison below the White Rose Base?” Gary asked.

“What?” Ryan asked with a raised eyebrow and gave him a look that made Gary feel like he was a madman. “This is a small crime; only the most dangerous Altereds get placed there.”

“It is not a place for someone like you. We’ll take you to the closest station and put you in a holding cell while we gather more information about who you are and what you’ve done before.”

“From there, we will decide further,” Ryan explained.

With all of that, Gary was happy to see that the children were at least safe and had been returned to their mother. Nearly all of the attention was now placed on Gary, so Sir Ken and his guards seemingly forgot about the children.

The train had stopped at Centerfield, and they all went off, with Kai and Austin on the platform watching them take Gary away.

The smug Sir Ken had gone another direction, and it wasn’t long until the mother with her two children came running up to Kai and Austin.

“I’m so sorry for what happened there. Because I wasn’t keeping an eye on my children, because of what happened, now your friend is going to jail just because he helped my children!” The mother said and took out her wallet, proceeding to hand over every penny she had to the two.

“I heard that if you get a good lawyer, you can help him. I don’t think this is enough to cover things, but it should be fine.”

Kai pushed the mother’s hand back and shook his head. “Don’t worry, none of this is your fault. You didn’t force our friend to make the actions he did, and besides, don’t you worry; everything is going to be fine.” Kai said as he took out his phone. While reaching into his inner pocket, he also pulled out a business card and handed it over.

“In fact, if there are any problems you have with them again, feel free to give us a call,” Kai said and was already walking off with Austin.

The mother looked at the card in her hand and read a few words on it.
