Every system has its corruption, even the most beloved of systems has a grain of salt worth of corruption. Danny was starting to realize it, albeit very slowly but surely. The trial was coming along interestingly to say the least. Danny's attorney wasn't really helping, maybe she wasn't being paid enough or she didn't have enough motivation. She wasn't helping Danny's case and as a result Danny was certain he was going to be visiting the county jail. The judge looked like he was nodding off from the monotone voice of Danny's lawyer, and Danny couldn't blame him.
" do you have anything to say to refute Mr. Fenton's claims?"
Vlad nodded and Danny couldn't help but stare at the way his head moved. His face was sullen and lacked the smile he saw when he came in the courtroom.
"Well Judge Canary, I have video evidence of the suspect in question vandalizing my car."
The CD was taken from his perfectly sculpted hands and slid into the CD slot. The video skipped not once but twice almost like an old VHS tape before a blurred image of Danny appeared. After a couple of seconds, the image clarified with Danny himself holding an empty beer can passed out on the floor. Danny grinned and waved the beer can a couple of times before turning over on his side on the concrete floor.
"Heyyyyy, you haaaave such a nice car."
Danny slurred another smile sweeping over his face. Standing up he moved towards Vlad in the drunken walk of shame. Vlad turned the camera towards his car and moved towards it quite fast however before he could reach the car door, Danny's hand was on top of his.
"Don't leave we're still having fun."
His face was somber but only for a moment before, before he burst into laughter.
"Nah I'm kidding, get in your fancy car. You didn't earn it anyway."
Danny tried to wave his hand but instead his head waved in a back and forth motion.
"What exactly did I not earn young man?"
Danny chuckled, and turned towards the car yet again.
"This piece of metal on wheels, you know the thing you use for transportation?"
Vlad quietly fumed, but turned away from the young man.
"I'll have you know that I worked five hours of overtime for this car, just to make a down payment."
Danny raised an eyebrow, quite sloppy and leaned on Vlad's 'overtime work.'
"Oh, really?"
"Really, young man."
A snicker and a jingling of keys were heard as Danny tossed them around.
"Let's see how much time it takes you to replace this, huh."
A sharp screech and the video showed a lovely deeply embedded scratch in car.
"See you in court."
Was the last thing Vlad said before the DVD cut short. Danny was shocked and it was at that time he knew a seat in jail was waiting for him.
