SIN
Chapter 31: Anger
(6pm at Prison)
"Five years," Chad whispered as Cree looked at him sadly, "I'm going to be in jail for five years."
"That's only because Lenny convinced Father to pull some strings at the last minute so that you'd serve only half your time," Cree pointed out, "you were supposed to spend ten, remember," she reminded him.
"Five years," Chad said in a defeated tone and Cree sighed.
He's so disappointed that he didn't get off. But at least he'll be out of prison at (age) twenty-two instead of twenty-seven. And he's also decided to take the time without admission of guilt. At least that should hopefully help give him a chance of having a football career after all this. Hopefully. (Cree's thoughts)
"We were able to get you into a safe cell block and the word's been passed around that you're under Father's protection," Cree told him, "who's going to hurt you?"
"I'm going to prison Cree," Chad said in despair, "they go after fresh meat," he wailed.
"You KNOW that I don't like this Chad," Cree insisted, "but you just have to tough it out," she continued, "it's better than spending ten or worse yet forty years behind bars in this adult prison."
"I'm scared Cree," Chad told her, "I've heard the horror stories of prison," he said, "I've known people who've gone BAD after going to prison," he said throwing his hands in the air.
"But you won't Chad," Cree said, "you'll be okay."
"Damn that worthless Wally," Chad snarled, "if it weren't for…" he said but stopped, "whatever, I'm going to prison anyhow," he said.
"You can bet Wally won't be happy when he hears your sentence," Cree told Chad.
"Wally can go suck himself," Chad said angrily, "I can't believe I'm going to jail!" he shouted, "this whole justice system is a fucking crock!" he declared.
"Chad," Cree whispered as she noticed two nearby wardens staring at them with looks of offence, "they're wardens around," she reminded him.
"Like I give a crap!" Chad shouted, "I have to spend FIVE years here!" he cried, "they get to go home."
"The time you got is too short," a nearby warden muttered.
"Glad to see you care pal," Chad spat at the black male warden.
"Don't make me come closer," the warden warned.
"I know my rights!" Chad shouted at him.
"And I know my baton," the warden threatened.
"You touch him with that and you're fired," Cree warned him, "Chad's handcuffed for Christ sakes," she pointed out.
"Too bad they couldn't handcuff his mouth," the other warden, a white female, muttered.
"Classy miss classy," Chad responded sarcastically.
"It's warden Tiffany Logan to you," the female warden told him, "and unlike Mike, I'll be supervising among others on your cell block," she said, "I'll get to see this so called protection first hand," she added.
"You're not going to rat?" Chad asked.
"Not my problem kid," Warden Logan responded.
"Time's up," Warden Mike spoke, "we need to ready him for a change of clothes and to go to his cell," he told Cree.
"Yes," Cree agreed, "I'm sorry how things turned out Chad," she said to Chad, "I'll visit you," she told him.
"At least I'll see a feminine face while I'm stuck here," Chad muttered.
"I'm feminine," Warden Logan pointed out.
"I'm sticking to what I said," Chad spat.
"You REALLY know how to charm people kid," Warden Mike said.
"Whatever," Chad responded, "thanks for coming Cree," he told her.
"Goodbye Chad," Cree said sadly and kissed him on the cheek, "five years will fly by," she added for comfort.
"Not for me," Chad said softly, "but thanks for the meaningful comfort," he told Cree, "Goodbye," he said.
Cree smiled with tears in her eyes and waved to him as she left.
After Cree was out of sight the two wardens walked up to him. Suddenly Warden Logan kneed Chad in the gut.
"How's that for unfeminine?" Warden Logan whispered in Chad's ear as he groaned.
(Meanwhile at the Hospital)
"This is absolutely unfair!" Wally shouted, "five years is nothing!"
"I know," Mr. Gordon said sadly to Wally, "I thought that I had him down for ten, for sure," he said, "but then something happens and suddenly I get a call with the order that Chad won't serve more than five years," he told Wally.
"Bet it was Father who did something," Abigail muttered, "I doubt that there's any better explanation," she said frankly.
"Lenny must've finally gotten his help at the last minute," Nigel said shaking his head.
"I'm going to get that Lenny kid," Wally declared.
"Now don't go do anything rash," Mr. Gordon warned.
"I don't care if it's rash," Wally snapped.
"You need to focus on your recovery Wally," Nigel said, "I know it must be hard," he continued, "but there's nothing more that can be done about Chad," he told Wally, "you need to move forward."
"Easy for you to say," Wally muttered, "stupid KND," he added.
"Yes it is a shame," Mr. Gordon said, "and I believe that I could've convinced a jury to give him the forty or even twenty-five years behind bars if we ACTUALLY got to go to trial."
"Well my past definitely KILLED that chance," Wally muttered bitterly.
"You can't keep looking back Wally," Mr. Gordon told him, "it makes you reject the present and forget the future," he said.
"I don't have a future," Wally said sadly.
"Yes you do!" Kuki shouted.
"Why do you bother Kuki?" Wally asked her in exasperation, "you're still wholesome and beautiful," he told her, "find someone who is the same," he said.
"No," Kuki responded, "NOTHING is wrong with you," she insisted.
"How can you SAY that!" Wally shouted.
"Because I know," Kuki told him.
"Know what?" Wally demanded.
"That I'll always love you!" Kuki shouted, "now stop trying to make me find someone else!" she ordered, "or I'll sock you," she snarled and held a fist at him.
Wally watched her clenched fist in surprise. Then he smiled.
"Remember that," Kuki told him and unclenched her fist, "I love you," she whispered and kissed him on the cheek.
"I love you," Wally whispered back and kissed her on the lips, "I love you so much," he said.
Done
Death's Soulmate: Well I'm back and I hope to get back my reading fans. Well Chad's going to prison and Wally and Kuki are still in love. Will update again this week. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and please review. Oh and today's November 29th 2005 and my birthday! Hooray! Yay for me!
EmpressInuyasha: Well 'Empress', I'll just clue you in on a few things. First I write the way I write because I feel it works best with the story. I plan to write professionally and am currently working on novels, so I KNOW how to write things without telling the readers straight out and I've used it. Just because I don't use this in THIS story (and others) doesn't make my writing any less worthy than others out there. And since my writing has been given positive praise whether I use the technique you suggest or not, I know my work is awesome. While I respect critics I have to tell you that I and most of the readers who read and review enjoy the story just as it is. So I have no intention on changing it because of a complaining minority. I write my things detailed so everyone understands. It might shock you but there are readers who might read this and actually know NOTHING about the show. I've experienced such readers before in other fics I've written and they're thankful when someone explains the story like I do so they're not totally lost. So while you find it 'annoying', they're others who find it useful. Plus 131 reviews (most of which are happy reviewers) don't lie. And a good amount of my reviewers have stories at which I've read and reviewed myself. And I'm proud to say that they've proven that they can write really good fanfiction. Therefore I can trust their reviews when they both commend my work and criticize any pitfalls I've made. Thank you for reviewing but I have a different opinion from you. P.S.: I use the italics in this fic for songs that I've written and decided to use it in this fic. I've used italics for thoughts in stories before. But I didn't feel like it in this story and hope that you can respect that if you bother to review again. Which I hope you do so you can see this.
Omega-Red9: While you might've felt that it was selfish for Mr. Beetles to be so offended by the accusation after just hearing his son was raped, I beg to differ. Imagine someone accusing you of raping your child. That's got to piss you off. And remember he did break down in tears over Wally being raped so I don't think I was making him seem selfish (at least that wasn't my intention). But everyone has a right to their own opinion and I like seeing other perspectives from my growing reviewers. Thank you for reviewing.
