A/N: Hey, I'm here with a new story idea. It's called Neverland. This is just a small intro. It's a little different than other stories I've written, and I'm excited to see what you guys think.
"You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting."
― Tinker Bell in Hook 1991
Prologue
"That's him. That's the one who hurt my baby!" The woman shouted. Ryder blinked as a group of officers ran over to the bench where he had fallen asleep. He looked over to where his friend Bryan was kicking the soccer ball.
"Bryan! Bryan! What do I do?"
"Hands where I can see them!" The police officer shouted.
Bryan Hudson watched in disbelief as Mrs. Linete pointed and the young man was forced against the bench he'd been napping at moments before to be cuffed.
"Just, don't say anything!" Bryan forced out the words, the words his father's clients lived by. "We'll get you out."
"I didn't do anything, Bryan!"
"I know Ryder." The boy's voice was a whisper. He wet his lips and run his hands through his hair as he heard the familiar mantra, the Miranda warning. You have the right to remain silent when questioned. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.
This was crazy. This was absolutely crazy. He picked up his bike and pedaled like hell.
A/N: Alright, so this is just an intro, next chapter, we'll go back and be introduced to Bryan, his family and Ryder to learn how it came to this. This will be a bit of a crime and trial fic, but the trial will not be the main focus of the first half. A lot of the focus will be on Ryder's interaction with the Hudson family, and his unique circumstances. Let me know what you think y'all.
