Chapter 07
ORION'S P.O.V
I was sat at the breakfast bar, surrounded by my wife and daughter, eating breakfast. I was reading the morning newspaper and listening to my daughter tell me about what she had done at school the previous day. I heard the phone begin ringing, and my wife got up to answer it. I was listening to Lilley tell me about school, when my wife popped her head around the kitchen doorway.
"Ted honey, there's a phone call for you". She informed.
I excused myself from Lilley and headed to the door, where my wife was still clutching the handset, one hand covering the mouth piece.
"It's the police". She handed me the phone, then left me in privacy.
"Hello, Ted Orion speaking".
"Good morning, I'm Officer Oldale from the Los Angeles police department, I have here a Miss Julie Gaffney, Miss Connie Moreau, Mr Fulton Reed and a Mr Charlie Conway, are these your students"? He asked me.
"Unfortunately yes". I replied, knowing there was something wrong, though I couldn't decide between a disaster or a prank turned bad from last nights celebration.
"Would it be at all possible for you to come down to the station to pick them up"?
"Yes, I'll be there in about 30 minutes". I answered, briefly saying my goodbyes. I lifted the phone again, searching through the phone book for Gordon's phone number.
"Hello"? Gordon answered the phone cheerfully.
"Gordon it's Ted". I told him.
"Ted, how are you"? He asked.
"I've just received a phone call from the police, it seems some of our little feathered friends have gotten themselves into a little bother". I informed him.
"Let me guess, Portman and Fulton".
"Sit down for this one. Portman has nothing to do with it". I tried laughing a little.
"Wow, that's a shock to the system, so who exactly is it"?
"Would you believe Connie, Julie, Charlie and Fulton. I've been asked to go and pick them up, but since Charlie is involved I thought you'd best know". I told him.
"Right, how about I meet you down there".
GORDON'S P.O.V
We arranged to meet at the station within 30 minutes. When I told Casey about Charlie having spent the night in a cell, she nearly hit the roof, babbling about how she thought she'd brought him up better than that. It was only when I pointed out, that he probably hadn't meant to, everyone was just a little cheerful from winning yesterdays game, that she calmed down and began worrying about him.
ADAM'S P.O.V
I woke up at about 7am. The ducks who surrounded me where still fast asleep, but the one thing I noticed was that there was no Charlie, Fulton, Connie or Julie. I remembered them going out skating in the very early hours of this morning, but I hadn't heard them come home. I stood slowly, quickly stretching, then climbed over the remaining 8 bodies and headed for the door, in hope that they were all crashing at Connie's. I twisted the door knob and opened the door, there was no-one in sight, I quickly checked each room, still nothing. A sick feeling entered the pit of my stomach, anything could have happened to them, they could have gotten knocked over, kidnapped, skated further than the Minnesota state lines. I mean all 4 of them were rather drunk. I dashed back into mine and Julie's apartment and slowly began waking the ducks. Guy woke immediately on the mention of Connie. We both began ringing every single hospital in Minnesota, panicking about where they all were. None of the hospitals in Minnesota had any patients under Connie, Julie, Charlie or Fulton's names. The next step was to start calling the Wisconsin state hospitals. Whilst me and Guy busied ourselves with that, the remaining 7 went out in 2 groups to look for them. By the time the first group had arrived back, me and Guy had moved on to all the Iowa state hospitals. I was sick with worry, I know they were all grown adults and capable of looking after themselves, but I couldn't help but think the worst, as does everyone when a loved one goes missing. By the time the second group came back, we were onto the South Dakota state hospitals. Just as we were in between phone calls, my phone rang and I dived forward and answered it.
"JULIE"? I shouted down the phone.
"No Adam it's Coach Orion". Was the reply.
"You haven't seen Julie have you"? I asked quickly.
"No, but she's quite safe, in fact Charlie, Julie, Connie and Fulton are at this second locked up in a cell".
"Huh"? I was rather confused.
"It seems they were pulled over last night for skating under the influence, I'm down at the police station with Coach Bombay to sort everything out. I'll drop them all off at yours when we finally get hold of them".
"Ok, Thanks". I sighed a sigh of relief, and quickly said my goodbyes before hanging up. "We can all breath". I informed the ducks. "Apparently they were pulled up by the police last night, for skating under the influence. Orion and Bombay are down there now sorting everything out". I continued.
JULIE'S P.O.V
We had been sat in the cell for ages now, the liquor had worn off and boredom had now taken a place, I was so tired, yet unable to sleep in this totally uninhabitable square room. Though the situation seemed rather funny, there was still the element of shame. We had been told that there was someone on their way to pick us up, though they hadn't told us who.
"I wonder how long we're gonna be stuck in here for". Connie commented, breaking the piercing silence.
"It already seems like forever, a few more minutes can't kill, surely". I responded laughing a little.
"If it's my mom, I think I might opt for staying here, rather than go and listen to her prattle on about how in her day, this would have been totally unacceptable". Charlie told us.
"Charlie, she can't be that bad, at least it shows that she worries about you. If you think your mom's gonna be mad, imagine what Adam and Guy are going to be like. How much are you betting that by now Adam would have pictured me laid in a mortuary on one of those steel tables". I replied laughing even more now.
ORION'S P.O.V
I made my way down to the police station to go and get four members of my team out of jail. I didn't really mind as I had done a similar thing at their age. They were just kids, celebrating winning their last hockey game as college students. I had expected something similar happening, but never in a million years had it involved Julie and Connie. When I arrived, Gordon and Casey were waiting eagerly outside, I headed over to them and immediately saw the anger and worry in Casey's face, I knew Charlie would be getting an earful anytime soon. We entered and asked the officer at the reception about where they were. He replied by telling us that he would fetch the officer that was in charge last night. Whilst we were waiting I quickly rang Adam to let him no, as no doubt all the ducks would be roaming the streets looking for the fellow team mates. He sounded so relieved when I told him that they were all safe.
"Coach Orion"? A man in uniform stepped from behind a door.
"Yes". I stood along with Gordon and Casey.
"Would you like to come this way"? He showed us all the way into an interview room.
"This is Gordon and Casey Bombay, Casey's Charlie's mom and Gordon's their other coach". I informed him.
"Ok, we aren't charging them with anything, as there are no grounds for any charge. We simply brought them in because the officer who pulled them up was simply only wanting to warn them to skate on the sidewalk other than the middle of the road, but when approached they were giddy and clearly very drunk". He told us.
"We understand". Gordon replied.
"Right, I'll just go and get them". He left the room.
We had to wait about 5 minutes, until the four of them skated in looking rather sheepish. Casey immediately rushed to Charlie and wrapped her arms around him protectively, before stepping back away from him and beginning the lecture.
"WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU DOING"? She shouted at him.
"Casey, I'm sure he's sorry, and I think he's paid heavily for it by spending the night in a cell". Gordon played the middleman.
"Yeah mom, a long cold night in a drafty cell, not my idea of luxury". Charlie informed.
"Well it serves you right, don't ask for sympathy from me. You got yourself into it, your 21 years old Charlie, you should know better".
"I'm sorry mom, it won't happen again". He apologised and pulled her in for another hug.
"I'm just glad your safe". She replied and I'm pretty sure I caught a glimpse of Charlie winking at Gordon.
"And I think you two young ladies, are going to be in big trouble when you get home, come on, I'll drive you". I stepped between Connie and Julie and rested my arms around their shoulders.
We all filed out and headed toward the parking lot. The four of them had managed somehow to talk us round into letting the skate home, though we had warned them that if they were pulled up again, we wouldn't be coming to collect them. We watched protectively as they skated off toward Julie and Connie's building. I wouldn't ever admit it to them, but the ducks were like my family, Julie and Connie were like two more daughters to me and the guys were like sons I never had, though at times I'm was glad they weren't my permanent sons.
CHARLIE'S P.O.V
"What did I tell ya about my mom". I told my friends as we skated toward Julie and Connie's.
"Hey that was water off a ducks back compared to how Guy and Adam are going to react". Connie countered.
"It's times like this that I'm ecstatic I haven't got parents living near by or a partner". Fulton laughed.
"SHUT UP FULTON". We replied, He knew we were only joking though because we all knew that all the ducks would have a go at us. Orion, Bombay and my mom had been relatively easy on us, compared to what the ducks were going to say.
Anyways what did you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!!!
