A soft grin met his lips at her quip. Well… at least she was still joking around which meant she wasn’t too banged up… as far as Jordan could see, that was truly the only benefit to the situation they were in. Jordan was trying to look on the bright side… he always did with Mariana. However now that he knew she was okay, the thing that remained was a subtle disappointment in her actions and reactions. There was no excuse to the way she was acting right now - avoiding the issue of what happened. As Annie Williams often did, she attempted to change the conversation onto an unrelated topic - to avoid talking about the issue at hand. It was her go to method of avoiding confrontation - to just not talk about it. A trait that both Sadie and Jordan caught at a young age and although they let certain things pass, this was not one of them. [color = orange] “Mariana Williams… we are not done here. For one - the party isn’t the issue. Your mom and I didn’t mind you going to the party - it was the burning down part of the forest and almost getting hurt in the process part that’s an issue.” [/color]
Jordan sighed, walking so he could face his daughter once again. “And as for “Spontaneous Combustion” I talked to the officers and it seems that’s a far stretch from the truth. They aren’t sure yet what started the fire, but they do know it wasn’t the car. So do you want to elaborate, Annie? Because I rather hear what happened from you then hear it in two days when I get a call from the police station with updates.”
Jordan waited a second, attempting to see if his daughter would say something… anything. Though it seemed even if she was; the two were interrupted as Officer Montoya approached them. “Mr. Williams? The fire department just finished stopping the fire. The good news is no one got hurt. The… other news is it seems that the start of the fire was a joint. Traces of Cannabis was also found in remains of the car. I’ll send over a full report tomorrow I just wanted to give you a heads up for the court hearing.”
Jordan raised his eyebrow at Mariana before thanking the officer and looking back at her. “Mariana Williams… for the love of god please tell me you were not in the woods smoking weed at 10:00 at night on a Sunday.” Jordan’s eyes closed for a second as he rubbed his eyes. “Who was with you this time?” Yes it wasn’t the first time his daughter had done something of the sort and it was likely that she hadn’t done it alone.
