The 13 year old Lea sat on the passenger seat of Bianca's car, glaring at the cop.
"Would you at least put your seatbelt on? It wasn't cheap to get human sized ones insta-"
Bianca started, but Lea finally talks.
"Why am I here?"
"What?"
"Why. Am. I. Here. I only just got out of Juvi when you randomly picked me up at the place. What, you hoping to find something on me as soon as I got out? I haven't had enough time to get into trouble." Lea sounds annoyed. "What, just decide you need to make sure I go right back into Juvi as soon as I get out?"
"Oh. I uh..."
The heavyset macro sighed. She was under the impression someone there would of fucking told the kid what was happening. Fuck it she might as well get it out of the way fast.
"I'm your legal guardian now. Had a lawyer buddy get me custody of you. So we're going home"
"You cant do that!"
"Yeah, actually I can"
"My parents are still alive! Don't you have to turn me over to them?!"
"McMurray's Exception: Any Macro who has reason to believe that a human child is being mistreated by their current guardian and can provide sufficient evidence to legal authority, such as say, the fact the human child is in ANOTHER STATE than their guardians, can appeal to social services to get legal custody of them"
Bianca shrugs
"Technically of course your parents can contest it and they have to be informed before hand but apparently neither of them wanted to try. Which kinda adds to my theory that-"
"Yeah, no they suck I know" Lea waves a hand dismissively. "But I have a place to live and everything alre-"
"You mean that Shoebox Duke had you staying in?"
"...how did you know abo-"
"Weaselton got busted last week. We found out all about his little "human pickpocketers" scheme."
Using kids to steal for him. Just when she thought Duke could sink no lower.
"Entire operation got busted and a few of the kids named names"
"Well...double jeopardy a-applies there!"
"Just calm down, I'm not trying to arrest you. Think of this as a fresh start you're finally getting."
She stops the car.
"Come on, I'll show you the room I got set up for you"
