Disclaimer: Hello again! Sorry this took so long to update. See, I didn't really save this chapter, so I kind of have to retype it. Anyway, of course I don't own LOTR, but I do own the policeman that comes into play in this chapter. And I own the mental hospital in here too. And maybe even Boromir's new state of mind. Hehehe. . .
Chapter 3
A slightly deranged policeman and the Return of Boromir
(this chapter starts almost right after the previous left off)
Minutes later, Pippin returned, though not willfully. A person in a blue uniform with a tag saying, "Park Police" was dragging him over.
"Ahem." He said, and the Fellowship looked at him. He glared at them before saying, "Leaving small children unattended in a crowded park? I believe I shall have to fine you. Sir," he said to Gandalf, pointing at a no-smoking sign, "You are violating the law of abusement to a natural area in a public place. That's $600 altogether." He gasped in horror at the hobbits. "Under the legal age for smoking! Who sold you the tobacco? That makes it $2,400. And because you parents didn't stop your children from doing this. . . $2,600.
Aragorn put his hand on the hilt of his sword. The police guy gasped in horror again. "Weapons of mass destruction in a public place? You must be dangerous criminals. Since I'm too lazy to bring you to the police station, I will just raise the fine to $3000."
"Hey! What makes you think you can to this?" Aragorn asked angrily.
The police guy thrust his badge into Aragorn's face. "This!"
Aragorn snorted. "If you are of higher authority than the King of Gondor, the Prince of Mirkwood, and the highest of the Five Wizards, then do say so, and we will yield to your request!"
The police guy blinked.
"Uh, I'll just take your names, then."
Legolas grinned. This would be fun.
"I am Legolas Greenleaf, son of Thranduil, prince of Mirkwood. That is Ginli, son of Gloin, cousin of Balin. This is Gandalf the white, highest ranked of the Five Wizards. Frodo Baggins, son of Drogo, ringbearer. Samwise Gamgee, son of Hamfast the Gaffer, gardener extraordinaire. Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took of the Shire. Lastly, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, King of Gondor, also called Strider, Elessar, Dunadan, the Elfstone, and Estel."
The police guy looked very confused indeed. See, all those names were foreign to him, as well as the places. "Mirkwood" sounded like a breed of bird. He wasn't sure whether to just let them go and let another officer deal with it, or throw them into the mental hospital.
He stood there, weighing his options. Eventually, he called some more police guys for backup, and sent the Fellowship to St.Joseph's hospital for the mentally deranged, gagged and blindfolded. They were all thrown into a large cell and began to wonder if Legolas should really have given so much information.
Aragorn started banging on the walls. A man covered in armor from head to toe came in and confiscated all their weapons. Grumpily, Legolas walked to the back of the cell. To his surprise, there was a guy back there.
"Aaaah!" cried Legolas.
Aragorn and Gimli turned to look.
"BOROMIR?!?!?!"
Boromir looked up. "Faramir!" he yelled, hugging Gimli.
Gimli looked uncomfortable. "Uh. . . no. Gimli."
"Father!" Boromir hugged Aragorn.
Aragorn looked uncomfortable. "Uh. . . no. Aragorn."
Boromir looked confused. "But haven't you come to visit me?"
"Aren't you dead?" asked Legolas.
A passing doctor answered his question. "He was sent down a waterfall by a friend. He felt betrayed and has been gibbering about some Denethor guy. He won't stop, so that's why he's here. He says he lives in Gondor. Well, I'll tell you, there's no Gondor around here. Nor the Denethor guy he wants."
Aragorn blinked. "But if he was sent down a waterfall, how did he get here?"
The doctor shrugged. "I was told some diver picked him up as he was falling through the water and attempted to the CPR on him. When that failed, he was taken here." She shrugged again. "I have to say though; you seem a lot more sane than the others." She gestured to the other cells, where patients were playing hide and seek and tag, and walked off.
"Why aren't you dead?" demanded Frodo angrily.
Boromir's eyes glazed over. "The Ringbearer. . ."
Frodo stuck out his tongue. "I already threw it into Mt. Doom."
Boromir started to cry. "My father is dead! He committed suicide!"
"What does that have to do with anything?" asked Pippin.
"MOTHER!!!!!!!" cried Boromir, hugging Legolas. "I haven't seen you for so long!"
Legolas screamed. Aragorn grabbed him and pulled him back into the corner where they had been making a plan to get out.
End of chapter
Do you like the "MOTHER!!!" part? I just noticed that this chapter had a lot of dialog. Hope it wasn't too boring! Anyway, REEEEVVVIIEWWWW!!!
