PREVIOUSLY ON CALEB'S MIND:
Mother Vanessa says I am blessed.
"let's let him...", ....., "but..", Mrs Vixus uttered still seeming to not like the Idea.
"Mr Patrick, how do you know about Caleb?", ........."before taking him to the church, I and several others were asked to house a gifted child....
the government is unaware of Caleb's existence.....he was kept a secret, a very dangerous one.........they did this because of their last experience.......Caleb wasn't the only special child.
Mrs Jones's car pulled up behind us, as its horn was honked repeatedly.
****
We arrived at Mrs Jones's house after a short while, "sorry guys I just have to make a quick stop, she said as she pulled over.
While she and her daughter came down from the car and approached their cute looking bungalow, I just sat there in the car thinking.
So I have a brother? someone just like me, I see what mother Vanessa means when she calls me the favoured one, I wasn't the one given out "so there's another you?", Merylin asked breaking the silence she had worn since we left the principal, " apart from your skin color what makes you different?, I mean what are you capable of?, what did Mr Patrick mean?", she added more questions, "...it's complicated", I said to her, and after a while of silence Mrs Jones came back, " am so sorry guys!, I was really pressed ", she added as she started the car.
"Caleb right?", she said looking at her car mirror, "yes?", I replied, "where did you learn how to fight like that?", she asked, "....I didn't fight", I replied, "...if you say so, Pinocchio!", she said and continued driving.
"what now!", Mrs Jones said on seeing the long line of cars on the road, a holdup ostensibly caused by cops on the way, "this is a bloody highway!!", Mrs Jones exclaimed seemingly p_ssed;"ma'am where are you coming from and where are you headed?", one cop asked as the other searched, "are these your kids?", he asked, looking at us, " no; they are my friends, I picked them up from school", she replied as I heard the car's boot open, the cop searching exclaimed in shock, he had obviously seem something, "cocaine!", the cop behind said aloud to the one in front, "step out of the car ma'am!!", the cop asking questions said as he pulled out his gun, "what's the problem officer?", she asked surprised as her heart skipped beats; on seeing the gun Merylin too became terrified.
"Step out of the car madam!", he added as he held the gun firmer and Mrs Jones carefully stepped out of the car, "are you sure these kids are even yours!", he added as he looked into the car once again, still pointing the gun at her, "I have told you officer!, they are not my kids!!", she explained; "what are these?", the officer who was behind asked holding the bag of cocaine in his glove clothed hand, " I swear I don't know", she added, "step out of the car kids!!", he commamded.
We got down and stood there, as Merylin's legs shaked non stop, " who is she to you?", he asked us as the other cop stared at me, "she's my friends mom!", Merylin replied, "officer I swear I don't know how that got there", Mrs jones explained about to cry as she brought her phone out and began to dial a number...."honey please pick up", she said shaking the phone as though her husband would pickup faster if she did, or wouldn't pickup if she didn't, "I have a question!", I abruptly intruded getting slightly irritated, "yes?, the officer replied looking at me from head to toe, " if you used such drugs, or are trafficking such, would you put it in such an obvious location?", I asked as they all kept quiet; "I'll let that slide because you are a kid and you kinda look mentally deranged; but don't ever talk to an officer like that ever again", he added as he turned to Mrs jones, "who is the owner of this vehicle!?", he asked, " it's mine", she replied.
The officer obviously ran out of questions to ask so he turned to me, "smarty pants, why are you dressed like a girl", he asked, "mentally deranged; remember!", I replied and kept quiet; "you!", the staring cop said pointing at me!, "you look like you abuse drugs, your skin obviously testifies to that!, you've successfully killed almost all your skin cells, and at this young age; now you look like a vampire, "we are going to run a urine test", he said, " on all of you!", he added.
We were soon taken to a van, where they gave us cans and asked us to pee in them, the van had enough room for toilets, when we were done, we were asked to wait for the results.
We were put in a part of the van which found a way to partially mute the outside world, I could faintly here them talk, "this is the girl's", I heard them say, seemingly to the nurse, " they've found the gun man and the missing kids, a cop said as he entered the van, "thats great!", the cop on our case replied, " what you up to?", the cop who had just entered asked, "we found coke in a woman's car......", I heard him say as the cars began to drive passed the van in great speeds, this affected my eaves dropping because we weren't far from the road.
Soon after the two cops came to where we were with the result; Merylin was first, hers was negative, and then Mrs Jones, which also came out negative and finally mine. "Put your hands behind your back", he said to me, "the cocaine in you, can knock out almost 10 men", he said to my greatest surprise, "but I don't do drugs!", I tried to explain as they pulled me out of the van, Merylin and Mrs Jones followed speechlessly, obviously not sure what to believe.
I don't do drugs, why am I always being punished and maltreated for no reason.
I didn't do anything to those kids, they just don't like me and prefer I stay locked up like an animal,
I respected and obeyed mother Madeline; but she wanted me transfered, I stayed alone not disturbing their private lives yet they kept transfering me, I did absolutely nothing to deserve this; I did nothing to Merylin's mom, she just doesnt like me and still wants me transfered; and those boys at school, I didn't even say a word to them, they just picked on me for no good reason, and now; this has to be the first time I am seeing cocaine on ground, and I am about to get arrested for consuming it just because of my abnormally pale my
skin, am tired of all of this.
We got to their car and they tried to put me in it, in anger I resisted, "do you want to get shot!?", one officer said as he pulled out his gun, Merylin and Mrs Jones's heart skipped beats as soon as they heard and saw this, "Sir please don't shoot!", Merylin pleaded crying, "Caleb please!, go with them!!", Mrs Jones added, but none of those moved me, I've had enough, if this is how I die then so be it, the officer continued struggling with me, and the small transparent nylon bag of cocaine fell on the floor, bursting open as it covered the atmosphere, the officers began to cough, "now look what you've done!", he said covering his nose, "young man if you don't go into this vehicle right now, I'll blow your knee caps, you are obviously more than 18 so I won't be penalised for this, and even if you aren't I can always say I didn't know you were, after all you kinda like the n_ggas, so I doubt they'll take your case seriously; now get in before I blow a knee cap!!", he said not seeming to be bluffing , "I am innocent!!!!", I yelled p_ssed pulling my hand away from the other cop holding me.
There was a moment of silence after it all, " he is innocent!", the cop who held me said like someone with post traumatic stress disorder!, "yes he is!", the one holding the gun added, "why was I so angry?", the one holding the gun asked seemingly making a realization, "he's innocent!", a nurse from the van ran out saying, "that young man is innocent", a cop who had witnesses this said on getting to where we were.
And one by one they continued coming, the majority of them that came were from the van, they all came proclaiming my innocence, as Merylin and Mrs Jones stood there confused; they were seemingly the only ones in that radius not involved in this zombie like behaviour, " what's going on?", Mrs Jones asked as Merylin continued looking around, "you can manipulate minds!!?", Merylin asked staring at me in awe.
To be continued......
