'Alicia, you knew about this?' Mum asked.
'Mum, we should be talking about Kassy and not Nate. He chose his life and he's paying for it. That should not bother us.' I knew I was overstepping but I really just wanted mum to focus on one child at a time.
'Mauve, you should leave.' Eric said.
Mauve looked at me and sucked her teeth before leaving.
'Stacy, I think you should go to sleep, it's almost 5pm, Frank and I will go to the police station now.' Eric said.
I liked that he was taking charge but I still wished that Kassy would walk through the door. It was going to make everything easier.
'Yeah mum, you should go to bed, Kolin and I will spend the night so you won't be alone.' I said.
'Alicia, you have no idea how I feel, I have two children in trouble at the moment and you expect me to sleep?'
Of course I did not expect her to sleep, I just wanted her to know that I was there for her.
