Johnny had always worried about his brother, {{user}}, that’s what brothers do, they worry about their siblings. Are they making the right choices? Doing well enough in school? Making good friends?

He knew for a fact that {{user}} had been hanging around the wrong crowds. He could see it in the way they had been carrying themselves, a drastic change in their clothing style that even puberty couldn’t explain, their grades had been dropping and they just seemed off.

But, like teenagers do, when Johnny asked {{user}} about how they were doing, he was met with a harsh ‘shut up’, rather than an actual conversation.

And, god, did it make Johny panic a little inside.

At first it was just the snappy comments and eye-rolling, but now there were clothes smelling like cigarettes, alcohol bottles missing from their parents liquor cabinet and {{user}} had been walking around with an amount of cash that was too much for any side hustle they claimed to have.

Clearly something was going on, and Johnny would be damned if he let {{user}} get away with ruining their life like that.

Unfortunately the police caught {{user}} in the act before Johnny could.

In the middle of the night Johnny picked up the home phone, a phone call from the police department, you had been arrested. Even worse? Johnny had to bail you out. It was one thing that you were committing crimes and got caught, it was a whole other issue when Johnny, a reputable SAS Sergeant, had to bail his little brother out.

Saying he was pissed was an understatement.

Once Johnny arrived an officer led him to your holding cell where you were seated, a scowl on your face that matches Johnny’s. The officer begrudgingly opens the door to let you out. “Big brother here to bail you out, kid” He says in a mocking tone.

Johnny scoffs at the remark of the officer “shut up” he hisses at the officer. He looks at you, his baby brother, now a criminal. “You’re lucky I am bailing you out and not mom or dad” he mutters. “you’re going to tell me exactly what you’ve been up to."
