Seth stands in the house that Brock rented and chews his lip. He looks over at Dean and Tyler. Dean was laying on the couch waiting for news. Tyler had a hold of Dean's tail since Dean kept hitting him with it. Tyler though was letting it go. Since this was the first time Randy and Dean had been separated. Dean wasn't taking it well but was hiding it because he didn't want Seth freaking out with him.
Brock had been able to see Roman and Randy quickly before they where taken to cells. Brock had both men sign papers that if they went to jail the Neko's would belong to Brock in order to keep Seth and Dean out of the SPCA'S hands. Brock told the cops this as well and thanked them for wanting to check on the Neko's. When he was calm he actually appreciated that a cop was worried about the Neko's. If their owners went to jail if the cops didn't check the Nekos could be in trouble.
Seth is pulled into Dean's arms finally after he keeps pacing. Dean mumbles softly that he needs a Kitten's cuddles right now. Dean really does since holding something and worrying about someone else right now kept him calm He was also is trying to keep Seth calm as well. Seth nuzzles into Dean and whispers. "What if the judge puts them in jail."
Dean nods. "I doubt it.. Brock said that this is their first offence and that at most they'd get is probation."
Tyler nods and runs his hand through Seth's hair and then looks at Dean. "Brock knows this stuff and he'll help them as much as he can."
Dean nods and then comments. "you know.. I always wanted to have a sleep over as a kitten. This wasn't what I thought it would be like."
Tyler smiles sadly but then whispers. "well lets have ice cream and watch something. It'll take your minds off this."
Brock stands in the courtroom and then frowns when Cody walks in. Cody looks at Brock and then holds up his hands. "I'm not here to cause trouble."
Brock frowns. "Really. Dean and Seth told me what you did."
Cody looks at Brock and bites his lip. "listen.. I have done a lot of .. crappy things when it comes to Seth. This isn't one."
Brock raises his eyebrow. The way Cody was sounding was he did something."what did you do."
They though have to go silent because Roman and Randy are lead in and then the judge comes in. Brock looks confused because there is a lawyer with Randy and Roman. The lawyer looks expensive and more then he even has money for. The Lawyer looks at Cody and then nods. He then starts speaking to the judge. Ryback is watching as well from his own offenders box since all of them where being charged.
The Lawyer obviously is worth his money when he starts talking about what happened and spinning it easily into Roman and Randy being the victims. That Ryback used Roman's attachment to his Neko to start a fight. Roman looks confused but lets the guy talk. Randy looks at Roman and Roman shakes his head. By the end of the speech the Judge leans back.
Cody smirks and crosses his arms. His father's lawyers where the best.
Brock eyes Cody. "Yours?"
Cody nods and hums. "Dad's money has it's benefits."
Roman sits there and bites his lip. He heard this but he is nervous what Cody's motives are.
The judge dismisses the charges in the end and looks over at Ryback and then Roman and Randy. "I don't want you guys coming back here or I'll throw you all in jail. Stay away from each other and behave like adults."
Roman nods and Randy just sits there quietly. The lawyer nods and speaks. "I know my clients will listen to your orders. I'm also asking for a restraining order."
The Judge nods and then agrees. "Mister Ryan Ryback you are here by ordered to stay 100ft away from Roman, Randy and their nekos. If you violate this.. I will personally see you thrown in jail for a long time. Attached to this order are the SPCA reports that the lawyer supplied. They are on the record for life now and Ryan.. consider that little physical altercation.. just the tip of the ice berg of what these guys can do."
The gavel is swung and then the judge stands and leaves. Ryback due to the restraining order is escorted away.
Roman stands and looks at the lawyer and then Cody. "what do you want in exchange."
Cody looks at Roman and then speaks softly. "Take care of Seth.. better then I did. He has been through hell. That's all I ask."
Roman nods and watches as Cody turns and walks away.
Randy rubs a his head and then looks at Brock. "Where's Dean..."
Brock smiles. "at the house."
Randy nods. "can we go?"
Brock nods and leads them out.
