Ryan Atwood wandered the dark streets of Chino, he wanted an escape – anything to get out of this town.
He turned around and saw an old school abandoned camero.
He walked up to it and smash the glass with a piece of metal that was lying around.
He jump started the car and started to gain some speed, he had done this many times before but had always been caught.
Ryan was pretty damn proud of his self, he had never gone this far before.
Just as he was about to turn a corner he saw red and blue lights flashing. "Oh shit!" ryan mumbled to himself.
Sandy Cohen and his wife Kirsten were in their mc mansions lounge watching a movie.
Sandys cell phone buzzed in his pocket, he fliped it open and answered it.
"Hey josh..oh right...yep okay ill be there soon...yeah its no problem...ok bye." "what did Josh want?" his wife asked.
"Theres a kid down in chino that needs my legal help" sandy explained. "why does he need you?" kirsten asked as politely as possible but sandy could tell she was pissed off at the fact they couldnt finish the movie.
"the court has appointed me his public defender. I have to go kirsten ill call you when Im on my way home" he said in a rush. He really needed to go.
"Ok then we'll finish the movie another time" "bye sweetheart, I love ya" he rushed out the door and hopped in his car.
Ryan was sitting in a white room waiting for his lawyer to arrive. He heared voices behind him and assumed it was his public defender.
"Hello ryan, the courts appointed me your public defender. Are you ok, they treating you alright?" sandy asked with sympathy.
Ryan looked him up and down. He didnt have time for his stupid fucking questions he wanted to get out of here.
"fine" ryan answered coldly.
"okay" sandy ruffled through some files until he found a rather thick criminal record.
Ryan recognised immediately that it was his mug shot attached to the file.
"Okay" sandy repeated. "definitely not ya first time in lockup, im assuming you dont plan on coming back even though did the first few times"
what the fuck does this stuck up lawyer know about my life? The stupid fucking guard watching me like a hawk is the only thing keeping me from kicking this guys ass!!!"
"Your grades are not great..truancy, getting into fights, talking back to teachers..." sandy kept on reading.
Ryan gave him a look. A look that intimidated sandy quite a fair bit. He didnt know what had gone wrong with this kid. He stopped reading and tried to connect with this boy on a deeper level. But what the hell was he going to say to this 17 year old boy?
"ryan I get it, we are cut from the same deck. I grew up in the bad part of the Bronx my father was gone and my mother worked all time. And I was pissed off. And I was stupid"
ryan could not believe this guy. Does he seriously think we are cut from the same deck? Whatever the fuck that means!
Ryan stared at sandy and laughed. "well look at you now" he said out of spite.
Sandy was taken aback. "Smart kid like you, youve gotta have a plan some kind of a dream"
"yeah right!" "let me tell you something ok" ryan said in a deep intimidating voice. sandy was frightened and he didnt know why. This was a teenage boy for gods sake!
"Where im from having a dream doesnt make ya smart. Knowing it wont come true. That does!"
Sandy liked this boy for some random reason. Ryan reminded him a bit of himself.
"so I guess yor wondering when you can get out of here" sandy said
ryan gave him a look that said "what the hell do you think"
"well lets state the obvious. You stole a car, you had a gun in your pants and an ounce of pot in your jacket. Just a couple of priors" sandy read from the file.
Not long later ryan and sandy were outside waiting for his mother. They heard a old ratty car pull up.
"should have known you'd end up here again!" dawn said as she let out a little angry chuckle. Ryan looked pissed off and embarassed.
"dawn atwood? Im ryans attorney, I was wondering if I could have a few words with you?" dawn looked at him and agreed.
A few minutes later sandy and dawn emerged from the side of the building and dawn looked at ryan and then hopped in her car.
Ryan was totally confused but also really happy. He was on his own he was free.
Sandy turned to him and guided ryan to his billion dollar BMW. He finally spoke up "you will be staying with me and my family for the weekend. Your mother is clearly unfit to take care of you – no offense" "none taken" ryan said truthfully.
