I'm updating again. You know when I first started out on Fanfiction, I never thought my stories would be this popular. Not bragging, they aren't really popular, but more than I thought. Thanks Readers! Anyway it took me about a week to write this, idk why, probably because I'm lazy. This chapter might not be entirely exciting, but it answers some questions.
"Help! We're in an alley between 5th and Jake Street! Our friend was in a … uh car accident. Just get here quick!" Rigby yelled to the police.
Mordecai had lifted up Benson, and began dragging him out of the alley. A few seconds later they heard the police sirens coming. Soon enough three police cars and an ambulance were there.
A pair of paramedics jumped out and took Benson from Mordecai. They pulled him up into the ambulance and started hooking him to things Mordecai didn't know what they were called.
Mordecai and Rigby were about to go with him, but an officer stopped them. "We're going to need to ask you a few questions." Mordecai and the raccoon shrugged. "Exactly what happened here?"
"Ok so we were walking down minding our own business, when the Wickets jumped out. But I was all like Bam! Boom! Pow!" Rigby made fighting moves. The Officer looked at Mordecai.
"Enlighten me." He said. Mordecai began to explain what happened with his past with the Wickets, and what happened tonight. "I see …" The Officer said. "I'm sorry sir, but we are going to have to take you and your friend into police custody."
Rigby freaked out. "What!? Why me?" The Officer rolled his eyes.
"Don't flatter yourself, I meant the gumball machine. He's technically the one who killed that man."
He pointed to where JoJo's dead body was being covered. Mordecai put his hands up as the Officer cuffed him. "If I were I would just go home, we'll make sure to keep you in the loop."
Rigby nodded and looked at Mordecai. "I'll be alright." The blue jay said. Then Rigby turned around and kept walking home.
Mordecai was put in a car. A different officer than before drove this time. After about three minutes Mordecai fell asleep. A little while later he was woken up by the police man.
Mordecai was silent the whole time, or at least until he was brought into an interrogation room. "Ok Mr. Quintel. We are just going to ask you a few questions. Can you cooperate with us?" Mordecai nodded.
"What harm did you cause the Wickets?" Mordecai felt insulted. He was about to defend himself, but remembered he agreed to cooperate.
"I used a cell phone." The officer wrote something down.
"Now what harm did they cause you?"
"They destroyed my boss's car. They tried to kill me. They did it again tonight, and they murdered my girlfriend."
"Thank you Mr. Quintel. Now I have just one more question for you. How did your boss know where you were and the Wicket's plan to kill you tonight?'
Mordecai for the first time realized Benson had no idea about this... How did he? "I honestly don't know."
"Ok sir we are going to put you in a cell. This isn't a big enough case to bring into court so the sheriff will decide your sentence." He said.
"What!? I thought you just wanted answers! I didn't do any crime." Mordecai got fired up.
The officer made a calming down gesture with his hands. "Calm down Quintel. The most you'll get is an overnight, you did nothing. We don't write the laws, just enforce them." Mordecai calmed down. "Now you get a phone call, if you want someone to bail you out."
Mordecai got up and followed the officer to a pay phone where he stuck in a quarter. He thought of who to call. Rigby was probably freaking out, Pops would cry, and Skips has been stressed out lately, no need to put more on him. That left one person.
He grabbed the piece of paper out of his pocket and dialed them number. "Hello Raine?" Mordecai said.
"Mordecai?"
"Hey, listen I need your help. Can you come bail me out of jail?"
"Jail! What did you do?"
"Nothing. It's a long story which I'll explain to you if can come get me out. I'll pay you back the fine."
"Sure, I'll be right over."
"Thanks bye." Mordecai hung up the phone and was escorted to a cell where he sat down on a hard mattress. About an hour later the cell opened up. Raine stood there in front of a new officer this time.
"Ready you criminal?" Raine said with a laugh. Mordecai ran over to her and gave her a short little hug.
"Thanks Raine." Mordecai followed her out to her car. The sun was low, but it was morning. Mordecai had been there all night. They got into her Civic, and drove. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course." She said. Mordecai rolled down his window.
"Who's that man you're living with?" He asked. Mordecai noticed Raine was getting nervous. Her face turned red, and a trickle of sweat formed at her brow.
"What man?" She said obviously lying.
Mordecai snapped. "Oh you know, the man who hit you?" Raine lied again.
"He's my father, he was mad because I didn't tell him where I went, it wasn't hard or anything." Mordecai grabbed the wheel and turned it putting them in an empty parking lot. Then he put the car in park.
"Raine you told me your father died when you were 17, and I watched it with my own eyes. I didn't say anything because I wanted to talk to you first. So start talking because maybe I can help you this time." He said.
The other blue jay's eyes were wide at his skills with a car. She sighed. "He's my grandfather. When my Dad died he came in to raise me from where I was. My Mom had left when I was only three, and my Grandpa was heartbroken over his son, and takes it out on me. I stay with him because he drinks, and I'm the only one supporting him. DVD Party Town doesn't pay a lot, but just enough." Mordecai took this in.
"You shouldn't have to put up with that. He's a grown man who can take care of himself. Um Raine?" Mordecai asked. She wiped a tear from her eye thinking of her pathetic life.
"Yeah." She sniffed, and stopped her crying. Mordecai gulped.
"What do you think of coming to stay with me, at least until you get back on your feet. I don't want you to live there anymore with that abusive man." Raine looked at Mordecai.
"Oh my gosh, would you really do that for me?" She asked. Mordecai nodded. Raine leaned over and hugged Mordecai. "Thank you thank you thank you!"
"No problem, you can sleep in my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch downstairs. Do you want to go get some of your stuff?" Mordecai suggested. Raine sat back and put her car in drive.
"Let's see if my Grandpa is home first." She said.
Yep, it's her grandfather. Raine is moving into the park house! Rigby knows how to use a cell phone! I know, that's just insane. Don't worry, the next chapter is going to be very exciting.
