Summer is almost over, can you believe it? I just spent a wonderful ten days in a place where there is no internet or phone service of any kind. It was very relaxing, and I churned out chapters J and K before getting stuck on L. I don't know how this chapter got to be about Casey, but I like it. My only regret is not giving Mrs. Jones a bigger role, cause she's pretty BAMF.
Juvi = Juvenile Detention Center = jail for adolescents.
Disclaimer: Today, I may or may not be playing in a recital that I haven't had any time to prepare for, and I still don't own the Ninja Turtles. MLIA.
J is for Juvi:
When Raph had first thought of bringing Casey down to the lair, the Turtles decided to conduct a background check. It came out like this:
When Casey Jones was ten his father failed to pay "protection money " to the Purple Dragons. The Jones' family store was consequently burned and destroyed as per the orders of Hun, a PD higher-up. The Jones' never managed to rebuild the store.
A few years after the incident, Mr. Jones died of complications due to pneumonia. Casey was thirteen.
Suddenly, Casey became The Kid Without No Daddy, and nothing was right, and nothing was fair, and everything was bad, bad, bad, and he developed tight fists and stringy muscles and he used them.
By the age of fourteen Casey Arnold Jones was taking down stray Purple Dragons and other assorted scum with excessive force. He was perpetually black and blue and bloody, but he was The Kid Without No Daddy and nobody said anything.
When Casey was fifteen the police caught him beating a thug in an alley. They saw black and blue and bloody and Victim With No Weapon and Kid Without No Daddy and a single mother that couldn't afford a trial. They saw fresh meat, white meat, dead meat, and quotas met.
Casey got his ass through into juvi because he got caught wailing on a guy who liked to target old women, young girls, and the occasional little boy.
The Turtles decided that Casey didn't do anything wrong, so Donnie made his record disappear.
Okay, hear me out. Casey is a great guy, yes, but before he met Raph he was out of control. There is no way that he didn't run into some sort of trouble when he was a kid.
Please review! I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
