Sounds like you've wound up to be more like a babysitter. One with pretty good advice.

[ Teens will do that to ya. ]

It's much worse than babysitting, I'm afraid. I spent 15 years working as a juvie cop.

[ Oooph. ]

That sounds like it'd be really rough. I'm sure you saw a lot of tough cases.

[A pained nod. Though it's unclear if it's more sympathy for the kids, or plain old self-pity. Juvie is hell.]

I was happy to get moved to Homicide in recent years, where I wouldn't have to deal directly with so many troubled youths...

... but now, here we are. In trouble. With a lot of youths.

[Welcome to Juvie Hell........ 2!]

Not sure if that's better or worse than your former situation. Both are pretty bad.

[ He frowns at that. ]

They all seem like pretty good kids, too.

... They do.

[Even some of the punks actually seem like pretty good kids? Damn it.]

I'm not sure what we've all been roped into here, but it's... worrying, to say the least.

I just hope that the ominous feeling doesn't actually prove to be anything more than that.

[ While mass kidnapping is pretty awful, he hopes it's limited to just that. ]
