Adam Armstrong, chapter 2
Adam they're here" Horatio says. I went out to the front door. They just smiled and I kept quite.
"Just drop him over to my office when ever." Horatio said to them. I got into their car and kept silent during the journey to the zoo. I got out of the car and Billie Joe put his hand on my shoulder. That relaxed me a bit. After a while we sat down on a bench. Billie Joe knelt down in front of me and put his hands on my face. What the fuck was he doing?
"Well Adie he sure does look like me but he has your eyes." He says. Adie just smiled and put her arm around me. We started walking again. I eventually started talking to them. Before I knew it I was on my way back to the crime lab. Billie Joe and Adie walked me up to Horatio's office.
"Listen buddy, if you need to talk to me or Adie you call us. Here is our mobile numbers." Billie Joe says. They both hugged me and left. I went up the stairs and into Horatio's office. Their, he was half a fucking asleep.
"How was it?" He asked.
"It was, O.k."
"Your girlfriend called in here earlier looking for you. She wants you to call her."
"She can go fuck herself."
"That's not a very nice thing to say. Why do you say that?"
"Do you know why I tried to kill myself on St. Steven's Day?"
"You were depressed."
"That and I saw her kissing another guy. She thinks I don't know"
"I still think you should talk to her and tell her what you saw. You might feel better."
I was happy until she was brought up. I went home and called her.
"Adam what's wrong with you?" She said.
"Listen meet me at the beach ASAP" I replied in a pissed off tone of voice. I walked down to the beach and their, she was walking around as if she didn't know what was wrong.
"Why didn't you meet up with me on St. Steven's Day?" she asked.
"You know why" I replied.
"No I don't"
"Let me refresh your memory. I was on my way to meet you when I saw you all over another guy."
"He came onto me. Adam I love you I wouldn't do that."
"BULLSHIT I NEARLY KILLED MYSELF BECAUSE OF YOU, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN"
I felt a lot better. I went home as happy as I could be with a crazy look on my face. God I was going mental.
January 5th:
"DON'T MOVE!!!" I yelled at a running criminal with my light sabre against his neck.
"Cuff him guys" I said to the officers behind me. Another case cracked by me. I went back to the lab. To write a report on the case, it was going to be another long day. As soon as I had finished I met up with my buds.
"Hey, crime-fighting boy." Said Ron.
"Hi guys, what you want to do?" I asked.
"I don't know. But you'll never guess what. I saw Billie Joe Armstrong and his wife today. I was too nervous to ask for his autograph". Said Draco. Then my phone rang.
"Hello"
"Hey buddy, how are you today?" It was Billie Joe.
"Hi, I'm felling fine."
"You don't sound like it. Are you alright?"
"Noh, I'm half left." I could hear him nearly pissing himself laughing.
"Listen I was talking to Horatio and I asked him would it be a good time to ask you to come back to Oakland. He agrees I just need your O.K".
"Are you asking me to come and live with you?"
"You are our child and you can come back here anytime you want to work."
"I'll think about it. I'll ring you tomorrow Billie Joe." God this was a hard decision. My friends were moving to Oakland which is great. But I don't want to leave Horatio and my friends at the lab. I went back home and sat down next to Horatio.
"So, did he ask you?" Horatio said.
"Yah, but I don't want to leave you and the guys at the lab."
"They already know and they want you to be happy and you can come back here anytime you want." It felt like I was ditching them. But I can come back. This is great, I find out who my parents are and I don't know whether to live with them or not. I went to sleep trying not to think about it. It was impossible but I finally made up my mind.
January 6th:
I had rang Billie Joe and told him that I was coming. I was really happy for some reason. I had all of my things packed all I need to do is say good by to the guys. I went into the layout room of the crime lab.
"Come back soon, baby." Alex said while crying.
"Dude, don't forget about us" said Speed
"How could I forget about ye" I replied.
"Lucky bastard" Said Eric.
"Can't wait to see you again" Said Calleigh. I gave them all a hug and went back to Horatio's.
"I'm going to miss you H"
"I'll miss you too. Remember to come back."
"Don't worry I'm resigning anytime soon." I gave him a hug and the two of us waited for Billie Joe and Adrienne. I stood out on the front lawn and hung over the wall to see if they were coming. I took my badge and I.D off my belt. I guess I won't need to wear this in California. I put them in my pocket. I would always keep it with me. I saw a black car coming up the road. I sensed it was them. I went inside and got my stuff. I gave Horatio another long hug and left for Oakland.
Oakland:
I stepped inside the house and it was so cool. Adie showed me where my room was. It was way bigger than my room in Miami. I started to unpack. I pulled out a picture of me, Horatio and Harry on our first day of work. I put it on the locker next to my bed. I took out Harry's badge and it under my pillow. I had also kept the American flag from his funeral. Time flew by, when I was unpacking it was early in the day, now it was close to mid-night. I went to sleep and for once in a long time I had no nightmares.

"WAKE UP!!!!!" Joey screamed in my ear.
"Oh my god I can't believe that one of the famous Jedi's is our brother." I heard Jacob say.
"Hi, guys how are you doing" I said as I fell back asleep. They eventually left. Then I heard somebody running upstairs. Billie Joe came in and put an ice-cube down my back.
"SHOWER OF BASTARDS, COLD, and its COLD" I yelled.
"Last time I checked ice was supposed to be cold" Billie Joe said while pulling me out of bed.
"Come on get up I need to talk to you as soon as you're dressed."
"O.K Billie."
"Adam don't call me Billie Joe. Call me dad."
I went down to see what "dad" had to talk to me about.
"So, what do want to talk to me about?" I asked.
"Remember the day I first called you?" He replied.
"Yah, why?"
"What was that song you were playing on the guitar?"
"Soul on Fire, by HIM."
"You're a fan of HIM?"
"Yah what's that got to do with anything?"
"You are an insane guitarist. Do you have a band?" He asked while standing up and coming over to me.
"Yah. We are called The Immortals, why?
"I have talked to Mike and Tre about this and they agree. Will you join Green Day?"
"What. No. I can't handle being a Jedi, CSI and a rock star."
"Will you think about it?"
"No. I gave you my answer and that's final."
"Why not do something your good at. Don't waste this talent. Why won't you do it?"
"Because dad it's weird enough being the youngest Jedi and CSI ever. I don't want more fame and anyway I won't have time to go working in Miami with the touring."
"Adam please think about it."
"No. I don't want to be the youngest rock star." I went back up to my room. I can't believe he just asked me that. I know it would be cool but I can't handle three jobs. Two jobs is enough. I wouldn't have time to work in Miami. I heard a knock on my door. If that man is going to annoy me over this I will chop of his balls with my light sabre.
"Can I come in?" It was dad.
"Yah just don't annoy me." I answered.
"I'm sorry I asked you. You're right. You don't need any more fame. Especially with what you have been through throughout the years."
"Dad listen. There is another reason why I don't want to do it."
"What is it?"
"In a few months I'm going to go to a competition to try and become a pro skateboarder."
"Oh, that's great. Really happy for you." I could see it in his eyes that I had let him down bad. He walked out of my room with his head down. I knew that he really wanted me to join Green Day.
"Hey Hun, are you O.K?" asked the mother.
"I have let dad down haven't I." I replied.
"No you haven't don't blame yourself. It's just that we have missed nearly 13 years of your life and he just wanted to spend some time with you to get to know you better."
It was a nice thought but I still wasn't going to do it. The lads had moved to Oakland and so I decided to go out to them.
"Hi guys." I said to them. I turned to my left and see this thing running towards me. The person rammed his head into my stomach on I fell backwards onto the grass. It was painful I thought I was nearly going to cry because he hit me right in the muscle.
"ADAM PLEASE JOIN GREEN DAY!!!!!" It was Tré. I was in too much pain to talk.
"Dude I didn't hit you that hard." He said.
"J-just l-leave m-m-e a-lone." I replied. I was lying on the grass curled up into a ball.
"Oh, Christ I'm sorry. I must have hit you hard. C'mon I'll take you home." He said as he picked me up from the ground and carried me home. I was still in severe pain.
Tré knocked on the door and dad answered. He looked at me in tré's arms as if to say "what the fuck."
"Hey Billie your kid had a little accident." Tré said while putting me down on the couch.
"What happened?" Dad asked.
"Well am, am." Tré started.
"I fell over a wall." I said as I didn't want Tré and dad's friendship to go downhill. He looked at Tré as if he was pissed.
"Tré. What did you do?" Why was dad ignoring me? Please say he wasn't still pissed off with me.
"I ran into him and knocked him onto the ground." Tré said
"Haven't I told you to take it easy when it comes kids." Dad said. The two of them walked into the kitchen and sat down drinking beer. Hello was dad out to kill me or something I am still in pain. I stayed lying down on the couch and eventually I fell asleep.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" I roared when I woke up. Somebody had pressed their hand against my stomach really hard.
"Sorry I forgot." Dad said.
"Thanks for forgetting about your son being in pain. Some father you are."
"Wait a second."
"Ever since I said that I didn't want to join Green Day you have been pissed off with me and don't deny it!" I ran up to my room and locked the door making sure that nobody could come in. It would take a few days for a bruise to show up on my stomach. This is great, I'm not even here a week and I'm already fighting with my father. I thought things would get better but they are just getting worse
"Just drop him over to my office when ever." Horatio said to them. I got into their car and kept silent during the journey to the zoo. I got out of the car and Billie Joe put his hand on my shoulder. That relaxed me a bit. After a while we sat down on a bench. Billie Joe knelt down in front of me and put his hands on my face. What the fuck was he doing?
