Jailbird Part 2

Charlie

The last few days where blur with Seth being confined to our home. He was getting dressed for court today. I came downstairs in my suit, and seen Sue sitting on the couch in a yellow dress. "Morning." I smiled kissing her cheek.

"Morning." she sighed, finishing her coffee. "Jacob will be over in a bit to help Theresa with the baby." Theresa was in the rocking recliner.

"I just hope they can handle it." I smiled slightly.

"They can." she smiled slightly. We looked up seeing Seth come downstairs.

"Hey mom, Dad." He said softly, as he grabbed his coat. "Ready?"

I nodded and sighed. "Lets go jailbird." I said walking

"Bye guys." Theresa said watching them.

I nodded and off we went in the car. I drove to the court house and we arrived there with 15 minutes to spare. Inside we met with the attorney. He had advised that Seth pled Guilty since it was his first offense, and he was sorry for what he did.

Court went by quick - All the boys had to get jobs to pay off the headsets for restitution - along with the other boys being banned from the mall. Seth was only on a one year ban from the mall. They had to get court ordered counseling, along with a curfew of 10 PM for 6 months with their probation. The other boys started mouthing off to the judge and taken back for contempt. I sighed listening to them. Seth remained quiet.

The judge looked at Seth. "I hope the consequences that you are receiving have an impact on you, young man." He sighed. " If you are caught doing that again, you will have more severe consequences, understood?"

"Yes sir." Seth said softly.

"Good. Now you atternery will meet with me and I will sign your papers. I will see you soon to go over everything." He said standing up and leaving.

Seth signed the papers and everything. He walked over to us, and gave his mom a hug. "Just thankful I'm not going to a detention facility." He said softly.

"I'm glad that's not happening either, kiddo." I smiled slightly.
