《My Quirky Love》Chapter 42: Cockroach and Mold
Advertisement
I was in the middle of my meeting when my phone started to ring.
🎵🎶
The voice of precious rang throughout the whole room.
My board members and staffs are all looking at me strangely.
I bring out my phone and check who's calling.
It was an unrecognized number.
I stood up from my seat and press accept.
I walk towards my office for privacy.
Captain Soriano? I have a bad feeling about this.
I sat on my chair and brings out my stash of M&M's because I feel that I need chocolates if NYPD wants to talk to me.
"This is he." I replied.
"
I stop eating halfway when I heard the name of precious, Gabriel and shoplifting in one sentence.
I nodded even if Captain Soriano can not see me.
"Okay. Thank you." I answered.
Captain Soriano ends the call. I put down my phone on the desk and sigh.
I really don't think I'll even reach my 27th Birthday at this point.
Since I don't want to waste my M&M's, I brought it with me. For good measure I grab 2 more bags.
I saw the MIB on my way to the garage. I look at them suspiciously. "Why did you let this happen?" I ask.
One of the senior MIB shrugged and said "They are in no danger sir. In fact, we all know that Master Gabriel enjoyed getting arrested."
I gave the MIB a side eye and sigh. I imagine how scared precious at this moment. After I bail them out, I'm gonna kill Gabriel and bury him on the crater that he created this morning at the estate. He thought that daddy and I doesn't know what he did this morning.
We arrive at the station in no time. I was surprise to see my father waiting for me in front of the station.
He's in a casual clothing in contrast of my black suit. A group of women from a distance was eyeing my father and when she saw me their eyes widen.
You have no chance woman and forgodsakes my father is old! Old enough to be your father! I shakes my head internally.
My father removed his black aviators when he saw me approaching.
I greeted him with a hug and kiss on his cheek and ask "Where's mommy?"
Daddy saw the opened M&M pouch on my hand and ignore it. I offered him some but he just thank me.
"She's at home. I don't want her to come with me. I am afraid that your mom might decide that getting jailed was fun and get herself arrested just to experience it."

I agreed with him.
"Are you briefed on this case?" Daddy ask.
I nodded. "I don't even understand how precious got involve. I am warning you right now that you might lose your third child."
Daddy sigh. "Please don't. Gabriel's still one of my good sperm and it's a waste if you kill him, But your brother's like a mold. He still grows back even if you destroy him multiple times."
I shook my head laughing. My mommy describes Gabriel multiple times as a cockroach, now my father calls him a mold.
My poor brother.
We entered the station and went to the help desk.
The officer look at us. "We are here for Gabriel Rosen- Hower and Sunshine McBright." Daddy said.
"Yes! I remember you! Your the eldest brother of Gabby!" The officer exclaimed.
In my peripheral vision I saw daddy smirks.
That's literally bullshit. Why do they always thought that I am older than this geezer beside me?
What would Captain Soriano say if he got one less officer in his troops? Would he mind?
I have an urge to kill.
"No. I am his father. Beside me is Gabby's oldest brother." Daddy corrects the officer.
The officer's eyes widen in fright. "I am so sorry sir! I got confuse for a second because you look really alike! Like twins!"
I glare at the fucker in front of me.
Yeah right twins 35 fucking years apart.
Still gonna kill him.
"Can you direct us to where my son and daughter-in-law got detained?" Daddy ask.
We are guided at the end of the jail. We passby multiple jail cells. All of the prisoners are looking at us curiously.
One prisoner even shouted "Greyson! Your brother's at the end of the hall!"
I nodded at him in acknowledgement.
"I don't even know what to react that a prisoner knows your brother by name." Daddy muttered.
Gabriel's taste in friends are unique, one even offered his service to Gabriel. He said if Gabriel wants to whacked someone just tell him.
We have MIB and James Rosen-Hower if we want to "whackedsomeone.
I finish my remaining M&Ms because I know Gabriel will take it if he saw it. We reached the end of the hall and saw Gabriel and Sunshine sitting on one of the bed. Precious is slepping. Sunshine's head was leaning on the crook of Gabriel' neck. While her whole body was supported my Gab's side.
My precious must be so tired. I bet her back and neck will ache after she woke up because of her sleeping postion. I'll prepare a warm bath for her and massage her once we went home.

Gabriel was casually eating a bag of Lays while staring at the wall.
"Gab." I called.
Gabriel glance at us. When he saw us, he smiles widely.
"Big bro!" He whispered loudy, mindful at his sister-in-law sleeping beside him.
"Are you settling in okay? Comfortable?" Daddy ask sarcastically.
"They could use a good mattress daddy and this bed are creaky so they need to also change it. The wall needs a new coat of paint, but overall I'm good."
Gabriel replied enthusiastically.
I want to bang my head on the wall. Gabriel's the only person who enjoys being jailed.
"We'll talk to the Captain now. We'll be back." Daddy said.
Gabriel salutes us.
We went to the Captain's room and once we entered, Captian Soriano stood up.
"We meet again Mr. Rosen-Hower!" Captain Soriano greets us enthusiastically.
"Please sit down! I would like to discuss something."
My dad and I sat down, we are both curious on what Captain Soriano wants to discuss with us.
"So this is Gabriel's I believe 8th time visiting us and it is still considered a misdemeanor. Gabriel knows our law at the back of his hand so he know what offense that can put him in jail without having any record. He can be a good lawyer if he wants too."
A lawyer who was fascinated in explosive devices and blowing up things as a hobby.
"For Sunshine McBright." I suddenly got attentive when he mentioned Precious name.
"She has a previous record in our station. She's about 14 at that time. She has a charge for shoplifting and assault."
Assault? My Sunshine assaulted someone?! I can't believe it. She can't even hurt a fly!
Daddy and I look at each other in surprise.
"Can you explain more about Sunshine's case?" I ask.
Captain Soriano scan the documents he was holding.
"It says here that Miss McBright steals a bottle of water and a pack of biscuit in a convenient store. The clerk who was manning the store tried to assault her and in self-defense Miss McBright hits back. The clerk files some charges against Miss McBright and went to court. The jury decides that it was self-defense and gave their sympathies to Miss McBright because she was a minor at that time and homeless. Her parents was not contacted in the insistence of Miss McBright even if she is a minor because she's a special case. She still got in prison for 60 days instead of 1 year on the grounds for shoplifting."
I want to cry.
My father was also misty eyed. You can clearly see the emotion playing in his eyes.
To think that Precious experience that. My heart aches for her. I just want to hug and love her forever.
I'll be more clingy as heck starting today.
Daddy clears his throat and says "Our lawyer will be in contact with you for my daughter-in-laws case. I know that record was private but if you could provide a copy to my lawyers I'll be grateful but off the record Captain, I'll still get a hold of that record even if you don't agree."
Captain Soriano nodded. "No problem. The charges that was filed against Gabriel and Sunshine was dropped after some on my part because it easy clearly a misunderstanding. I don't think a son of a billionaire will shoplift in a duty free where you can buy that whole place hundreed folds."
"Please don't get tired accomodating my son here in your station. He's really a good kid."
Captain Soriano chuckled. "We already treat Gabriel as our family so don't worry. We even sometimes miss his presence."
My dad and I shooks our head.
We shakes Captain Soriano's hand and we went out off his office.
One of the MIB approach us. Daddy stare at him and said "Find out which prisoner here deserves their bail to be paid. Pay it. Buy everyone even the prisoners some food." The MIB bow his head and went on his way.
When we arrive at Gabriel's opened jail cell, this time Sunshine's awake.
"Grey Grey!" She shouted. She run towards me and jump to my arms.
I did not say anything. I just hug her tightly and I bury my face to her neck.
Sunshine pats my back gently and murmured "Are you okay Grey Grey?"
"Yes. Now that your in my arms." I replied.
Our moment was cut short when Gabriel wailed "Oh my fucking God! That was so sweet! Daddy hurry carry me also. And do you have handkerchief with you? I need to wipe my preciously handsome tears."
I roll my eyes at Gabriel and leave him with daddy.
I heard Gabriel shouts "OW that hurt! This is child abuse! Officer arrest James Gideon Arthur Rosen-Hower for abuse!"
I carry Sunshine back to the car and mentally plan the pampering that she will recieve that was fit for a Queen.

The Kiss of Two Moons
The last year is upon us. The world is ending, but you already knew that; everyone does. Spring has come, and the flowers have bloomed here in this small town with no name. Thousands of different colours now paint the field that had been coloured by frost alone just yesterday. The townsfolk have gathered by the field to celebrate the beginning of the last spring with so many smiling faces. Tears too. I can’t help but wonder whether the flowers will bloom again before the sky falls upon us. Others must be thinking the same. There are moments when the smiles fade and their eyes glaze over as they realize just how near to the end we are. They forget it again in moments. They make themselves forget. The children aren’t like that, though. They don’t seem to understand, or they’ve come to accept it in a way that their parents just can’t manage to. This one boy actually asked me why I was sad. I had to wonder whether he was actually aware that the world is ending, but it seemed wrong to mention it. I ended up just telling him that I was waiting for someone, and he scampered off, wearing a silly smile. I can’t help but feel jealous of him. The beginning of next spring; the day that the world ends. It seems so far away, yet so close. Wherever you are now, I have to ask, how are you spending your last spring? Did you get to see the flowers bloom? Did you smile? Did you cry?
