Chapter 11

Silence and misery filled the air as Meghann, Sheldon, Brian, Leo, Julia, Delaney, Kayla and Nora were gathered in the kitchen around the table following the events of Lindsay's accusations and Sheldon's arrest scare. They were so traumatized and sad by the experience that they couldn't help but continue to talk about it.

" I'm so sorry you guys had to see that. I've never had a fight like that with my cousin in my entire life.", Meghann sadly said to her friends as she sipped her hot chocolate. Sheldon sat next to her slowly stroking his fingers through her hair.

" It's ok. We're just sorry that happened to you bestie.", Leo sadly said as he sat across from her.

" Thanks Leo.", Meghann sadly said.

" She really brought the mood down by the way she just acted.", Nora sadly said as she crossed her arms and rested her chin on the table.

" Yeah I agree. How dare she do that. We were all just having a great time together and then she had to come along and ruin it for no reason what so ever other than to be an ignorant bi**h.", Julia sadly said.

" I want to punch her. I want to punch her in the face so bad for what she did.", Brian sadly said.

" Thanks for trying to lighten up the mood bro but unfortunately if you tried to punch our cousin in the face she would probably arrest you for that.", Meghann sadly said.

" You're probably right Meghann.", Brian sadly said. Silence fell again between them and the only sounds that were heard were Delaney's and Kayla's sad sighs. Cali suddenly came walking into the kitchen and jumped up on the table. She walked up to Meghann and gently placed her kitty paw on Meghann's arm.

" Meow!"

" Hi Cali. You came to cheer me up, huh?", Meghann sadly said as she started petting Cali. Cali arched her back as Meghann's hand brushed over her back and was purring contently.

" I so hate Lindsay's face right now. I don't even think I want to face her in court. And why are we even having it go to that anyway? We were just fine until she decided to make it a big scene.", Meghann sadly said.

" I agree. Lindsay sucks.", Kayla sadly said.

" I just can't believe Lindsay tried to arrest me and accuse me of being a pedophile. That was just completely uncalled for. I am a well respected theoretical physicist and this is the thanks I get? The nerve of some people.", Sheldon said as he gently placed a hand on Meghann's shoulder.

" Been there done that.", Meghann, Leo, Julia, Delaney, Kayla and Nora sadly said. Just then Mr. and Mrs. Brissette came home from work and walked into the kitchen to discover the sour mood in the air among their daughter, their son, their daughter's friends and Sheldon.

" What's going on here? Why are you all so down?", Mrs. Brissette asked.

" Mom you're not going to believe what Lindsay just did.", Meghann sadly said as she started to cry again.

" What did she do sweetheart?", Mrs. Brissette asked.

" She came here uninvited while we were doing the Turbo Slide in the living room and she tried to arrest Dr. Cooper all because of what I put in my Facebook status last night!", Meghann cried.

" What?! Are you serious?!", Mrs. Brissette exclaimed in complete shock.

" Yeah and not only that she was also accusing him of being a pedophile!", Julia sadly said as she gestured her hand toward Sheldon.

" Lindsay wouldn't do that!", Mr. Brissette exclaimed.

" I know this is hard for you to believe at the moment but she did Dad! Even Brian heard and saw everything as well as me and my friends! You want to know what she said to me?! She had the nerve to call me a child and say that I'm too young to be in a relationship with Dr. Cooper!", Meghann cried.

" That is outrageous!", Mrs. Brissette interjected.

" I know, right?!", Meghann cried.

" Yeah well after that performance she just did, she is never stepping a foot in this house again!", Mrs. Brissette interjected.

" Which is sad because she's family!", Meghann cried.

" Yes well even family sometimes have fallouts Meghann and you can't do anything about it.", Mr. Brissette said.

" I just don't understand why she did this to me! I trusted her and now she betrayed that trust! She had no right to come in here and try to take Dr. Cooper away from me!", Meghann cried. She then picked up her phone and started texting her other cousin Derek who was Lindsay's brother and told him what happened. Derek immediately answered back saying that he was on his way over. Within 45 minutes, Derek finally arrived.

" Hey I'm here.", Derek said as he walked into the kitchen. Meghann stood up and ran to him throwing her arms around him sobbing into his shoulder.

" Oh Derek it's horrible! Your sister's gone off the deep end!", Meghann cried.

" I know Meghann. So you only told me part of the story or at least I think it is but what's the full story? What exactly happened in the incident between you guys and my sister?", Derek asked as he let go of Meghann.

" We were dancing to The Turbo Slide in the living room together, meaning it was me, Nora, Delaney, Julia, Kayla, Meghann and Dr. Cooper. We were just minding our own business having fun until your sister Lindsay showed up and started going off on us, throwing accusations at Dr. Cooper and tried to arrest him right in front of us.", Leo said.

" Oh god Leo it's a good thing she's not here right now because I want to punch her.", Derek said as he rolled his eyes.

" You and me both Derek.", Brian said.

" So what was she accusing Dr. Cooper of?", Derek asked.

" She was accusing him of being a pedophile, you know, the kind of monsters that sexually prey on children?!", Meghann cried.

" Yes I know what you're talking about Meghann. Is that true?", Derek asked.

" Oh good heavens no, it's not! I've never touched anybody inappropriately in all my life! I like to think of myself more as asexual!", Sheldon exclaimed.

" Um excuse me but you and I just had sex this morning after we signed a Relationship Agreement.", Meghann said.

" Meghann I think you bringing up that minor detail right now doesn't help.", Sheldon said as he narrowed his eyes at her.

" So what do we do?", Julia asked.

" I think you guys should probably all go home now. It's getting kind of late.", Meghann said.

" Yeah it's probably a good idea. My mom, dad and my little sister Summer are probably freaking the heck out at where I am right now.", Nora said.

" Yeah I agree. Let's all start heading home you guys.", Leo said.

" Bye Meghann. Bye Dr. Cooper.", Leo, Julia, Delaney, Kayla and Nora said as they started walking out.

" Bye. Good night.", Meghann and Sheldon said.

" Hey Derek, you mind sticking around for a while? Maybe guard the doors to make sure Lindsay doesn't come back here?", Meghann asked.

" After what she just did Meghann, hell yeah I'm going to stick around! There's no way in hell I'm letting her back into this house! Not after what she did to you and Dr. Cooper!", Derek scoffed.

" Thanks Derek. It makes me feel a lot better trying to get some sleep in this house knowing you're here to protect us in case something goes down.", Meghann said.

" Of course Meghann you're my little cousin.", Derek said with a smile as he hugged her.

" Touching. Well your aunt and I are going to bed and maybe watch a movie Derek. Stay vigilant, in fact here's my shot gun. Use it if you have to, but only as a last resort.", Mr. Brissette said as he handed his nephew his shot gun that was sitting on the gun rack by the back door of the house.

" Thanks Uncle Brad. Good night and good night Aunt Linda.", Derek said as he took the loaded gun into his hand.

" Good night Derek.", Mrs. Brissette said as she went to the groundfloor bedroom with her husband.

" I'm gonna go downstairs to the basement to play video games for a while.", Brian said.

" Alright Brian.", Derek said as Brian saluted his cousin like a soldier before descending the basement stairs, shutting the door behind him.

" You ready to go to bed Meghann?", Sheldon asked.

" I'm not quite tired yet Dr. Cooper so how about we just go rest our eyes for a little bit on my bed?", Meghann said.

" Fair enough.", Sheldon said as they walked out of the kitchen.

" Wake us up if anything happens Derek.", Meghann said as her and Sheldon stood at the bottom of the stairs while Derek was standing near the locked front door with the loaded shot gun cocked, ready to fire it if he needed to.

" You got it cuz.", Derek said. Meghann gave him the soldier salute as well before walking up the stairs with Sheldon.

" What's with the veteran salute Meghann?", Sheldon asked in confusion as they were climbing the stairs together.

" Oh that, that's because my cousin Derek is a U.S. veteran. My brother Brian and I do that to him whenever he has to protect us. It's basically a form of respect.", Meghann said as they entered their room and shut their door.

" Interesting.", Sheldon said as they got up onto Meghann's bed. Meghann laid down and shut her eyes while Sheldon leaned over her a little resting his eyes as well. 15 minutes later, however, as Derek was guarding the front door downstairs he suddenly heard a bunch of cop cars pull up so he looked through the peephole and saw that it was his sister Lindsay and several other officers with her. They had their guns drawn and everything as they were approaching the door.

" Oh shit!", Derek hissed as he turned around and sprinted up the stairs like a bat out of hell. He threw his cousin's and Sheldon's bedroom door open and shouted, "Get up get up get up!"

" Oh good Lord!", Sheldon shrieked as his eyes snapped open.

" Why?! What's going on Derek?!", Meghann asked in a panic as she sat up staring at her cousin.

" Lindsay just showed up with a whole bunch of backup! They have their guns drawn and everything! They look like they're about to fucking kick the door in so you guys need to get out of here like now!", Derek screamed in a panic.

" Oh good Lord! Here we go again!", Sheldon interjected as he rolled his eyes.

" Oh god I know what they're here for! They're here to take Dr. Cooper away from me and throw him in jail!", Meghann interjected in a panic as she pointed at Sheldon.

" Yeah no shit cuz! You guys got to get out of here fast, like, right now if you want to save your relationship!", Derek screamed.

" Should we make a break for it?!", Meghann screamed as she looked at Sheldon.

" Normally I wouldn't run from the law but in this situation run like hell!", Sheldon shrieked as he jumped up from Meghann's bed.

" Oh god I got to get shoes on! I can't go running out there with bare feet!", Meghann screamed as she jumped up off her bed and frantically started looking for a pair of shoes to throw on her feet. She finally managed to find a pair of black ballet flats and threw them on.

" What are you wearing ballet flats for woman?!", Sheldon shrieked as he stared at his roommate/girlfriend.

" These are the only shoes I could find at the moment!", Meghann screamed back at him as she jumped to her feet.

" Dr. Sheldon Cooper come out with your hands up! Don't make this any harder than it has to be!", Lindsay's voice shouted from outside the house. It was then that she and the other officers started kicking at the front door.

" Well it'll have to do!", Sheldon shrieked.

" What are you doing you idiots?! Get out of here! They're kicking at the door!", Derek screamed as the obnoxious kicking noises continued.

" Well where the hell do you want us to go?!", Meghann screamed at her cousin.

" Well I don't care where you go just as long as it's somewhere away from the house!", Derek screamed.

" Wait! Get me Cali! I'm taking her with us!", Meghann screamed.

" You're taking the cat with you?!", Derek screamed as he stared at her.

" Yes! I got a duffle bag here with some airholes in it! Just grab Cali and stuff her in here!", Meghann screamed as she held up a black duffle bag that she pulled out from under her bed.

" Dr. Cooper come out here now! You got 30 seconds!", Lindsay's voice shouted again.

" Meghann we need to go!", Sheldon shrieked as he threw his messenger bag on over his shoulder.

" Hurry Derek! Get Cali! We don't have much time!", Meghann screamed.

" You got it Meghann!", Derek screamed as he bolted down the stairs searching for Cali.

" Come on Cali! Where are you?!", Derek screamed as he frantically searched the house for the cat until he finally found her sitting on the window sill in the kitchen licking her paw.

" There you are! Come here Cali!", Derek screamed as he quickly scooped Cali up into his arms making her let out a surprised screech. As the kicking and banging noises continued on the front door Meghann's voice screamed from upstairs, " Derek! Where are you?!"

" Oh shit! I got to get up there with this cat right now before my cousin starts giving me hell!", Derek screamed to himself as he bolted back up the stairs with Cali in his arms.

" I got her Meghann!", Derek screamed as he came running into the room with the cat.

" Quick, stuff her in here!", Meghann screamed as she held the bag open. In one swift quick motion Derek shoved Cali into the bag and Meghann zipped it up. Cali started meowing loudly and repetitively scratching at the fabric of the bag wondering what was going on.

" Now go! You two love birds get out of here!", Derek screamed.

" Thanks! And whatever you do Derek do not let Lindsay see us running! If she sees us she'll come after us and then all hell will break loose!", Meghann screamed.

" You got it little cousin!", Derek screamed.

" Thanks! Come on Dr. Cooper let's book it!", Meghann screamed as she threw open the window and the two of them jumped out of it. As they did so Meghann shrieked, " Yeehaw!" like a cow girl and Sheldon shrieked, " Good Lord woman! What is wrong with you?! I do not sound like that!" as they started sprinting across the backyard toward the woods behind the house. The song Criminal by Britney Spears began to play in the background as Meghann shrieked, " Shut it Dr. Cooper this train is leaving! Let's move it!" It was then that Lindsay and the other officers finally kicked the front door in at the house and they began to search the house.

" Where's the physicist?!", Lindsay shouted at Derek when he came down the stairs.

" I'm not telling you where he is Lindsay! Get out!", Derek shouted at his sister.

" Bro I swear to god you better tell me where he is right now or I will rip your throat out!", Lindsay shouted as she roughly grabbed the front of her brother's shirt.

" I'm not telling you where he is! I said to get out! I'm going to punch you if you don't!", Derek shouted.

" Lindsay I see them! They're running through the backyard into the woods!", one of the male officers shouted as he looked out one of the kitchen windows to see Meghann and Sheldon sprinting away like bats out of hell.

" Well what are we standing around for?! Let's get that creep before he does something horrible to my cousin!", Lindsay shouted as she sprinted out the back door with her comrades.

" Sh*t! Lindsay get back here!", Derek shouted after his sister but it was too late. All hell was about to go down!

Meanwhile as Meghann and Sheldon were running through the woods Meghann frantically pulled out her cell phone and called Leo.

" Leo you're not going to believe what's going on right now! Shit's going down at mine and Dr. Cooper's house!", Meghann screamed into her phone as her and Sheldon continued to run.

" What?! What's going on Meghann?!", Leo shrieked when he answered the phone.

" Lindsay just showed up with a bunch of backup and they're coming after us!", Meghann screamed.

" What the hell are you talking about?! Where are you?!", Leo screamed.

" I just told you Leo Michael Lemonselly! My roommate/boyfriend and I are litterally running away from the cops right now!", Meghann screamed as the sound of snapping twigs and rustling leaves echoed underneath her's and Sheldon's feet as they continued running.

" Ok well whatever you two do, don't stop for anything! Just keep running!", Leo screamed.

" Yeah thanks for the tip bestie! I got to go, bye!", Meghann screamed as she quickly hung up the phone. As she turned her head around she could see her cousin Lindsay and the other officers running after her and Sheldon. The sounds of swinging handcuffs and other objects were heard with each step they took toward the frightened 18 year old and the physicist.

" Shit! Fucking bitch! They're coming up fast! Keep running with me Dr. Cooper! Run like The Flash you idiot!", Meghann screamed.

" I'm running as fast as I can Meghann! It's hard for me to run with this messenger bag across my shoulder!", Sheldon screamed.

" Well I'm running with a cat stuffed in a duffle bag right now and I'm managing to do it!", Meghann screamed as she referred to the duffle bag hanging over her shoulder like a Santa Claus sack with Cali secured inside of it. Cali continued to meow loudly scratching her paws at the fabric from inside the bag.

" Come back here Dr. Cooper! Get away from my cousin!", Lindsay shouted from a distance behind them.

" Good Lord that woman's crazy!", Sheldon screamed.

" You think?! She's trying to separate us!", Meghann screamed.

" Well I reckon that no way in hell she's keeping me away from my woman!", Sheldon shrieked in a southern accent.

" Cut the accent dude! We're fighting for our love here!", Meghann screamed.

" Thank you for pointing out the obvious!", Sheldon screamed.

" Oh shut it Dr. Sheldon Cooper!", Meghann screamed.

" Where are we going Meghann?!", Sheldon screamed.

" There's one place I know we could go right off the bat! My grandparents RV!", Meghann screamed as they continued running.

" We're going to your Meemaw's and Pop Pop's house?!", Sheldon screamed as he stared at her.

" Yes! We'll explain the situation to them and hopefully they'll let us hide in there!", Meghann screamed.

" You better stop running right now Dr. Cooper or we're going to taze you!", Lindsay shouted.

" Good Lord I don't want to be shot with a taser again!", Sheldon screamed as him and Meghann continued running.

" You got shot with a taser before?!", Meghann screamed as she looked at her roommate/boyfriend.

" Yes and it hurt like hell! Leave me alone Lindsay!", Sheldon screamed.

" No! You're going to pay for the crimes that you've committed!", Lindsay shouted.

" Oh what fresh hell is this?! I've not committed anything! I'm a well respected theoretical physicist with an IQ of 187 and I'm a man in love with your cousin! Can't you see that we want to be together?!", Sheldon screamed.

" Apparently not because she's a fucking bitch!", Meghann screamed.

" Why would you call me that Meghann?! You and I have such a great relative relationship!", Lindsay shouted.

" We did until you decided to accuse Dr. Cooper of being a pedophilic sex offender and tried to arrest him!", Meghann screamed.

" I was doing it to protect you! You don't know who he is!", Lindsay shouted.

" Yes I do, he's the love of my life and I love him! It's you that doesn't know him Lindsay!", Meghann shouted.

" He is a grown man in his mid 30s! You are a teenager! You are too young to be with him!", Lindsay shouted.

" No I'm not! I told you for the last time I'm a legally consenting adult! Yes we may be 18 years apart but that doesn't matter! What matters is that we love each other and you can not separate us! We even have a signed relationship contract that is legally binding so you can't do anything about it!", Meghann screamed.

" What?! I'm going to kill you, you a**hole! When I get my hands on you, you're going to be locked up for life with no chance of parole!", Lindsay shouted at Sheldon.

" You are not throwing me in jail! You can not do that if I haven't committed anything! That is what's called an illegal arrest!", Sheldon shouted.

" Shut up Dr. Cooper!", Lindsay shouted. She then took out her taser and shot Sheldon with it before shooting Meghann. Two screams of pain and a meow were heard as the two of them fell to the ground unable to move. They were handcuffed and shoved into the back of Lindsay's cop car.

" Psycho ass bitch!", Meghann hissed in anger at her cousin as she sat in the backseat with Sheldon.

" Meghann you can insult me all you want but it's not going to change the situation!", Lindsay bitterly said back as she was driving her police cruiser back to the station.

" You just tased me and my roommate/boyfriend in a psychotic rage and then you handcuffed us and threw us in the back of your cop car like sacks of potatoes! I have every right to be mad at you because you are being completely absurd! Dr. Cooper is not a criminal! He is an innocent man who is being very unfairly treated!", Meghann shouted.

" Oh please Meghann! Stop defending him! That man is a monster who is just trying to sexually abuse you!", Lindsay shouted.

" Excuse me but no I am not nor have I ever done that! I love her!", Sheldon interjected in anger.

" Oh stop the lies you pathetic little sh*t! I swear to god that I can't wait to get back to the station so I can shove you in a jail cell and forget about you! And I'm sure within a few years of you being locked up you'll forget all about my cousin!", Lindsay shouted.

" Stop talking to him like that! We are dating and there is nothing you can do about it Lindsay!", Meghann shouted.

" He does not love you Meghann! This is all in your head! You are too young to be with him!", Lindsay shouted.

" I'm 18! You should know the law better than anybody! The law clearly states that once a person turns 18 years of age they are legally considered an adult who can make their own decisions! And this is the decision I'm making!", Meghann shouted as she nodded her head toward Sheldon.

" To date a monster?!", Lindsay shouted.

" No! To date a very nice man who cares about me and loves me! I poured my entire heart out into that status that I wrote about him! I hate to say it to you Lindsay but you are starting to become like my enemy TWISTER!", Meghann shouted.

" I can't believe you would say that to me! After everything I've done for you and treating you like a little sister to me this the thanks I get?! What the hell happened to you?!", Lindsay shouted.

" I've grown up Lindsay! I'm not that same melancholy person you once knew! I have a social life with friends and a storm chasing job for god sake! And if I want to be in a relationship with a 36 year old man who's clearly a very nice person who deeply cares about me then so be it!", Meghann shouted.

" Meghann you can't be serious! You are throwing your life away just to be with this man who is nothing but a sexual abuser!", Lindsay shouted.

" He is not and I'm not throwing my life away I'm making a life for myself! And you know what, I'm going to rebel against your stupid ignorance by doing this!", Meghann shouted as she turned her head and started kissing Sheldon right in front of her cousin.

" You are sick Meghann!", Lindsay shouted.

" If I'm sick then what are you?!", Meghann shouted at her before she continued kissing Sheldon. She then secretly used her cousin's stolen handcuff key that she had somehow snagged from Lindsay to release herself and Sheldon from their handcuffs. The two of them then brought their arms up and embraced each other as they continued making out in the backseat of Lindsay's cop car. Their tongues danced around inside each other's mouths.

" How did you two slimeballs get free?!", Lindsay shouted when she noticed that they weren't restrained anymore.

" Looking for this, bitch?!", Meghann smirked evilly as she held up the handcuff key that she just used to free herself and Sheldon.

" That's my handcuff key! How did you get it?!", Lindsay shouted.

" Just a little trick my best friend taught me! The art of deception!", Meghann smirked evilly.

" Well then Leo is a little punk and I hate him for teaching you that! And you know what after I drop you two off at the station I'm going to go get him!", Lindsay shouted.

" You are not arresting my best friend!", Meghann shouted.

" Yes what does Leo have to do with this?!", Sheldon interjected.

" He doesn't have anything to do with this but I'm pissed off and needed somebody to blame! Give me my handcuff key back!", Lindsay shouted.

" No I think I'm going to keep it!", Meghann smirked evilly.

" Actually I have a better idea Meghann. Give me it.", Sheldon said with an evil smirk as he held out his hand. Meghann gave him the key and he said, " Thank you." before he tossed it out the window along with the two sets of handcuffs. This made Lindsay even more pissed off.

" Why you little evil supervillain I'm gonna…!", Lindsay shouted.

" LATER BITCH!", Meghann and Sheldon interjected with evil smirks on their faces before ducking and rolling out of the car after they grabbed their belongings. They then got up and started sprinting away again. Lindsay then stopped her car before she got out and started sprinting after them again. The other officers soon joined her. Meghann's phone started ringing as her and Sheldon kept running away.

" Meghann where are you and Dr. Cooper at?!", Brian screamed at his sister through the phone. Apparently he had now become aware of the situation and was about ready to have a panic attack.

" We just escaped Lindsay's cop car Brian and now we're running away again!", Meghann screamed at her brother through the phone.

" Lindsay's chasing you two?!", Brian screamed.

" Yes! Were you not aware of all the crap that was going on?!", Meghann screamed.

" No I was lost in my video games but when I came up to get a glass of water Derek told me everything! Mom and Dad are freaking out too and another thing, where's Cali?! She's missing!", Brian screamed.

" She's not you dumb bell! She's with me and Dr. Cooper!", Meghann screamed.

" Well where are you two heading?!", Brian screamed.

" Grandma and Grandpa's to hide in the RV!", Meghann screamed.

" Ok but just be careful sis! I don't want you two to end up dead!", Brian screamed.

" Oh I don't plan on it bro or else Dr. Cooper is going to freak the hell out!", Meghann screamed as she hung up the phone. After a few minutes of running Meghann saw a familiar white two-story lakehouse with green shutters on the windows and Victorian-style crown molding on the outside. All the lights were on in the house and even the front porch light was on.

" There's my grandparents house! Come on Dr. Cooper!", Meghann screamed as they ran to the front door and Meghann started pounding on it like a girl in a horror movie.

" Grandma, Grandpa, open the door! It's me Meghann!", Meghann screamed.

" Good Heavens, Meghann what are you doing here?!", Grandma Brissette shrieked as she answered the door. She was dressed in a night gown and had a night cap on her head. She looked like she had been in bed and was surprised to see her granddaughter standing at the door, huffing and puffing and clearly all out of breath. The tall, lanky man with her granddaughter wearing a dark blue windbreaker jacket, long brown slacks and a messenger bag over his shoulder was somebody that she had never seen before.

" Grandma, We're in a really bad situation here! Lindsay and several other officers are after me and Dr. Cooper because they want to arrest him for being in a relationship with me! Lindsay thinks I'm too young to be with him so they want to take him away from me and throw him in jail!", Meghann screamed.

" Who's Dr. Cooper?", Grandma Brissette asked.

" He is! He's my roommate and also my boyfriend!", Meghann screamed as she pointed at Sheldon.

" When did you two get together?", Grandma Brissette asked.

" We got together last night after Journey and I broke up!", Meghann screamed.

" Why did you break up?", Grandma Brissette asked.

" Because he moved in with his Aunt Stella who lives in Garden City, NY! She's got Alzheimer's and can't live by herself anymore so Journey and his family have to take care of her!", Meghann screamed.

" How old is this man that's with you?", Grandma Brissette asked.

" I'm 36 and I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack right now!", Sheldon screamed.

" Well don't do that Dr. Cooper! I'm not strong enough to lift you if you kill over!", Meghann screamed.

" Meghann that's just an expression! What I meant was I'm completely petrified by the situation!", Sheldon screamed.

" Well I am too! I don't want Lindsay interfering with our relationship! She doesn't have the right to throw you in jail just because I'm an 18 year old girl and you're a 36 year old man!", Meghann screamed.

" What you just said is really turning me on right now!", Sheldon shrieked as he stared at Meghann.

" Talk about you being turned on?! I'm already on!", Meghann screamed as she stared back at him.

" Goddamn you woman!", Sheldon shrieked. The two of them just grabbed each other and started kissing right in front of Meghann's grandmother who was standing there still kind of confused about what was going on. Cali meowed inside of the bag that Meghann was holding during this.

" Not to be rude or anything but is there more to this story? And is that Cali inside that bag?!", Grandma Brissette asked.

" Yeah, could we just come in Grandma?!", Meghann screamed as her and Sheldon pulled away from each other.

" Yes of course sweetheart. Come in.", Grandma Brissette said as she opened the door wider to let Meghann and Sheldon walk in. As she shut the door her husband came in from the living room. He had been watching the Lakers game and was surprised to see his granddaughter standing at the front door next to some tall, lanky man he had never seen or met before. His wife was standing there too looking a bit confused.

" What's going on here? Meghann what are you doing here at this time of night?", Grandpa Brissette asked as he stared at his granddaughter.

" Grandpa, my roommate/boyfriend Dr. Cooper and I need somewhere to hide! Preferrably the RV!", Meghann screamed.

" Why do you need to hide there?", Grandpa Brissette asked.

" Because Lindsay and several other officers are looking for us! They want to arrest him!", Meghann screamed.

" Can I ask why?", Grandpa Brissette asked.

" Because Lindsay thinks I'm too young to be in a relationship with him so they want to arrest Dr. Cooper and throw him in jail!", Meghann screamed.

" How old are you?", Grandpa Brissette asked Sheldon as he stared at him.

" I'm 36!", Sheldon shrieked as he was gasping for air.

" Weren't you with that Journey fellow?", Grandpa Brissette asked as he stared at his granddaughter.

" I was but we broke up last night after he told me he had to move in with his aunt who has Alzheimer's!", Meghann screamed.

" How exactly did Lindsay find out that you and this man, Dr. Cooper, were together?", Grandpa Brissette asked.

" She found out when she saw my Facebook status I posted last night and was really mad about it!", Meghann screamed.

" Well how did you two even meet each other in the first place?", Grandma Brissette asked.

" Oh Grandma that's a really long story and I don't think I want to talk about it! Look, can we just hide in the RV?!", Meghann screamed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

" Grandma, Grandpa, open this door! I know Meghann and Dr. Cooper are in there!"

" Good Heavens! Is that Lindsay?!", Grandma Brissette shrieked.

" Drats she found us!", Sheldon shrieked.

" What do we do?!", Meghann screamed.

" Follow me to the garage. The RV is in there.", Grandpa Brissette said as he started walking toward the door leading to the garage. Meghann and Sheldon ran after him and they entered the garage. Sheldon immediately saw a big huge RV parked right in the center of the garage. It looked about the size of a motorhome.

" Alright get in there.", Grandpa Brissette said as he opened the door to the RV.

" Thanks Grandpa!", Meghann screamed as her and Sheldon ran in there to hide from Lindsay.

" Alright I'm going to lock you two in here and cover the windows.", Grandpa Brissette said before he shut the door, locked it and then put down all the window blinds so that Lindsay couldn't see in.

" Good Lord it's dark in here!", Sheldon exclaimed as him and Meghann were surrounded by complete darkness.

" Here I'll turn on a battery powered light. Most of these other lights in here only work when the engine's running.", Meghann said as she began feeling around the dark RV for a light to turn on. When she found one she tapped it with her finger and it turned on.

Meanwhile back inside the house Grandma Brissette opened the door to see Lindsay and several other officers standing there.

" Where are Meghann and Dr. Cooper?!", Lindsay shouted.

" That's none of your business Lindsay! Get out of here!", Grandma Brissette angrily said as she crossed her arms in front of her.

" No! That man is a sexual predator! He is a threat to society and I need to take him into custody! Now where is he Grandma?!", Lindsay shouted.

" I'm not telling you where he is! You need to leave him alone! I just talked to him and Meghann and he is clearly not who you think he is!", Grandma Brissette angrily said.

" Grandma I swear to god you better tell me where Dr. Cooper is right now or you and Grandpa are going to be in a whole bunch of trouble!", Lindsay shouted.

" Lindsay if you keep trying to push this issue I'm going to contact your boss and let him know what you're doing!", Grandma Brissette angrily said.

" That's not going to help you Grandma because he's the one who sent me and my comrades out looking for this creep! Now if you don't give him up you and Grandpa are going to be arrested for interfering with a crime scene!", Lindsay shouted.

" There is no crime scene here Lindsay! That man is clearly innocent and you need to stop harrassing him!", Grandma Brissette angrily said.

" I will stop harrassing him when he's behind bars where he belongs! Meghann is too young to be in a relationship with him! She is just a child and I'm trying to protect her!", Lindsay shouted.

" No she's not! She's an adult who can make her own decisions and that man clearly looks like he loves her! Now please leave our property!", Grandma Brissette angrily said.

" No! Out of my way!", Lindsay shouted as she shoved past her grandmother and entered the house with the other officers. They began to tear the house apart from top to bottom searching for the 18 year old and the theoretical physicist.

Meanwhile back inside the RV, Meghann and Sheldon were sitting on the floor huddled in a corner together with Meghann sitting across Sheldon's lap and with his arms gently wrapped around her. Cali was wandering around the RV after Meghann let her out of the bag.

" This is preposterous! I'm a theoretical physicist and a man in my mid 30s who's being bounty hunted by police officers when I have done absolutely nothing wrong! I'm an innocent man who's being falsely accused!", Sheldon exclaimed in fear.

" Yeah I know! Lindsay's out of her mind!", Meghann exclaimed in fear.

" I completely agree with you!", Sheldon exclaimed in fear.

" You're such a brilliant mind Dr. Cooper! Why can't my cousin just see that we want to be together?!", Meghann exclaimed in fear as she started to cry.

" She's just being ignorant Meghann. She just took one look at me and immediately thought of me as a threat to you just because of my age. For some reason she just thinks of me as some kind of monster.", Sheldon sadly said as he gently rubbed her shoulders.

" Which hurts my feelings because her and I used to have such a great relationship! She used to be the best cousin in the world but now she's become this person that I don't recognize anymore!", Meghann cried.

" There there, it's ok. I'm not going anywhere. Not without you.", Sheldon sadly said. Then he opened his mouth and softly sang, " Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, pur pur pur." as he gently rocked her from side to side. The gentle movements were starting to make her feel a little comforted and her crying slowly started to die down.

" I love you Dr. Cooper! You are the most wonderful man in the world and I'm so happy to have met you!", Meghann sniffled as she stared up at her roommate/boyfriend with tears still streaming down her face.

" I love you too Meghann! Same to you, you're the most wonderful woman in the world! I can't imagine what my life would be like without you!", Sheldon said as he stared down at her. Meghann gently reached her arms up and kissed him. Sheldon deepened the kiss as he started kissing her back. Cali then jumped up into their laps and headbutted her head right in between where their lips were touching. They immediately pulled away from each other sputtering.

" Ack! Cali why did you do that?! Now I got your fur in my mouth!", Meghann sputtered as she was spitting out the loose hairs that came off of her cat's head into her mouth. Sheldon was doing the same thing.

Back inside the house…

" There's nothing here Lindsay! Where could they possibly be?!", another female officer interjected. Lindsay then remembered that her grandparents had an RV and that it was parked in the garage.

" I know exactly where they're hiding, the frickin' RV in the garage! Follow me! Let's get that pedophilic sex offender off the streets once and for all!", Lindsay shouted as she sprinted toward the garage with the other officers following her with their guns still drawn.

Back inside the RV, Meghann and Sheldon continued kissing each other but immediately jerked away and gasped when they suddenly heard the door leading to the garage fly open and Meghann's grandfather's voice shouting, " You kick that door to the RV Lindsay and you're paying for that!"

" I ain't paying for shit Grandpa! Nothing's going to stop me from arresting that man!", Lindsay shouted as she approached the RV door. Meghann and Sheldon clung to each other in fear and screamed bloody murder as Lindsay kicked the door open and shouted, " End of the line physicist! Stand up and put your hands behind your back! You're under arrest!"

" Excuse me but this is completely absurd Lindsay! I have done nothing wrong! I am an innocent man!", Sheldon shrieked as he stood up with Meghann.

" Liar! You're trying to victimize my cousin!", Lindsay shouted. Sheldon gently moves Meghann behind him and as he was pulling his pistol out of his messenger bag, cocked it and pointed it at Lindsay, she and the other officers then pointed their guns at him.

" Drop the gun Dr. Cooper! What do you think you're doing?!", Lindsay shouted.

" Defending myself and my roommate/girlfriend! I have every right to use it whenever I feel that my safety is being threatened seeing as it may that I have a concealed weapons permit! Now I suggest you get out of here unless you wish to go home in a body bag which in this case stay and continue threatening to throw me in jail!", Sheldon shouted in anger as he continued pointing his pistol at her.

" I'm warning you Dr. Cooper! Drop the gun now!", Lindsay shouted as she inched her way closer to him, still pointing her pistol at him.

" You step one more inch closer to me and you're dead!", Sheldon threatened her with his finger on the trigger.

" THAT'S IT!", Lindsay shouted.

" LINDSAY STOP!", Meghann screamed. She watched in horror as her cousin kicked Sheldon's gun out of his hand and forced him down onto the floor. Sheldon screamed in pain as Lindsay jerked his arms behind his back and slapped handcuffs on his wrists. Meghann was then handcuffed too and they were both dragged out of the RV. Cali was carried out as well meowing her head off. Meghann and Sheldon soon found themselves in separate cells across from each other. Meghann started screaming and kicking at the door.

" Lindsay you frickin' bi**h! Let me out of here!", Meghann screamed as she rattled the bars with her hands and continuously kicked the door.

" Calm the hell down Meghann! You and Dr. Cooper have caused enough trouble tonight!", Lindsay hissed when she walked up to the cell.

" Let us out of here!", Meghann screamed.

" Meghann I'm doing this for your own good!", Lindsay hissed.

" No you're not! You never acted like this when I was with Journey!", Meghann screamed.

" That's because he was the same age as you! He was 18! Dr. Cooper is a 36 year old man! He is 18 years older than you which to me is not ok when talking about being in a relationship with him! Guys like that are only looking for one thing and that is to victimize people who are much younger than them!", Lindsay hissed.

" He is not victimizing me! He loves me!", Meghann cried.

" What are you crying for Meghann?!", Lindsay hissed.

" Because you're trying to keep me separated from the man I love!", Meghann cried.

" He is only a few feet across from you! What is the big deal?!", Lindsay hissed.

" The big deal is that I can't touch him or be anywhere near him!", Meghann cried.

" Meghann if you and Journey had just stayed together none of this would be happening!", Lindsay hissed.

" I so frickin' hate you right now! If I wasn't locked up in this cell right now I would punch you right in the face!", Meghann cried.

" Meghann if you had done that you would be in there anyway! Assaulting a police officer is a crime!", Lindsay hissed.

" Where's Cali?!", Meghann cried.

" She's in my office along with Dr. Cooper's belongings!", Lindsay hissed.

" Give me her! I wanna hug her!", Meghann cried.

" Meghann you're in jail! I'm not going to give you your cat!", Lindsay hissed.

" I don't care Lindsay! Give me her! This is the only thing that's going to keep me from losing my sanity at the moment!", Meghann cried.

" Fine! I'll get you your stupid cat!", Lindsay hissed as she stormed away and went into her office. As she came back out moments later with Cali in her arms who was meowing like crazy and unlocked the door to Meghann's cell for a second Sheldon interjected, " Excuse me but she's my stupid cat too!"

" Oh shut up Dr. Cooper!", Lindsay hissed at him as she tossed Cali into Meghann's cell before locking the door and stormed away again. She inadvertantly dropped the keys without knowing which somehow landed at the perfect distance for Sheldon to reach his hand through the bars and grab them. He then unlocked his cell, got out, walked over to Meghann's cell, unlocked it and walked inside. Meghann immediately released Cali from her grip, stood up and threw her arms around Sheldon as they resumed kissing each other. Lindsay saw this and shouted, " What are you doing in my cousin's cell Dr. Cooper?! Get back into your cell! Stop touching her!"

" You can not separate me from her Lindsay! I told you that I'm in love with her and I have not done anything to hurt her!", Sheldon interjected.

" I can do whatever the hell I want! Now get back in your cell!", Lindsay hissed as she yanked Sheldon out of Meghann's cell and marched him back over to his. She locked the door to Meghann's cell again, roughly shoved Sheldon back into his cell and locked the door before storming away again.

" Ow! Good Lord that hurt!", Sheldon shrieked as he rubbed his shoulder. Meghann just cried again and picked Cali back up into her arms. She basically cried herself to sleep knowing that her and Sheldon would be facing a judge to decide the fate of their freedom as well as their relationship. The next morning the two of them were marched into the courtroom with their hands handcuffed in front of them and were lead to the defendants bench. Everyone in the entire city had gathered into the courthouse to take part in this event which included several neighbors, Meghann's family and Meghann's friends as well as her boss Dr. Felix Fujita and several of her co-workers from the Storm Chasers center. Derek also had all of his millitary comrades from his millitary base show up as well.

" All rise for the Honorable Judge Liam Spitzer!", the prosecutor announced as the judge entered the courtroom. Everyone was standing up.

" Thank you, you may be seated.", Judge Spitzer said as he sat down as well as everyone else. Then he said, " Meghann Rose Brissette and Dr. Sheldon Cooper you two have been accused and brought before me for allegedly having inappropriate relations with one another confronted by the accuser Officer Lindsay Brissette. How do you plead?"

" Not guilty because we haven't done anything your Honor! Officer Brissette only made it an issue after and I quote, ' saw' my roommate/girlfriend's Facebook status she posted about me! Officer Brissette apparently took it the wrong way and was falsely accusing me of being pedophilic sex offender to which I am not nor have I ever been one! I am an innocent man who's a theoretical physicist and I am having an appropriate relationship with this woman considering the fact that she is legally an adult! She is 18 years of age!", Sheldon defended as he stood up.

" And what is your age Dr. Cooper?", Judge Spitzer asked.

" I'm 36!", Sheldon defended. Everyone in the courtroom instantly started yelling at Lindsay who was on the plaintiff bench.

" Lindsay's a bitch!", some anonymous person shouted out.

" Yeah! Homewrecker!", another person shouted.

" Leave them alone!", another person shouted.

" They deserve to be together!", another person shouted.

" Yeah! Let them be! Let them be! Come on you guys, say it with me!", another person shouted. Just like the domino effect, one by one every citizen in New York City in that courtroom began chanting, " Let them be!" over and over again as loud as their voices could go. The noise bothered Sheldon a bit but he surprisingly didn't care. He was happy that everyone was being supportive of his and Meghann's decision to be together. A smile began to spread across his face as well as Meghann's. After 30 minutes of chanting gone by Lindsay finally had enough. She stood up and shouted, " SHUT UP!" at the top of her lungs making the whole courtroom go dead silent.

" Order in the court!", Judge Spitzer interjected as he slammed his gavel down. Lindsay then sat back down and Judge Spitzer said, " By the show of hands, who here is in support of the defendants?"

Everyone raised their hands except for Lindsay.

" Alright then I hereby decree that the defendants Meghann Rose Brissette and Dr. Sheldon Cooper be released and allowed to continue their relationship, and let it be known that this relationship shall be protected under New York City law. Court adjourned.", Judge Spitzer said as he slammed his gavel down again. Cheers errupted immediately as Meghann exclaimed, " Victory! Take that you bitch!" Once they were released from their handcuffs Meghann and Sheldon immediately jumped up from the bench, threw their arms around each other and kissed each other. The song Don't Matter by Akon played in the background during this.

" YES!", Leo, Julia, Delaney, Kayla and Nora exclaimed as they smacked hands with each other before running out to the parking lot. They started dancing wildly to The Harlem Shake on Julia's phone chanting, " Lindsay got her payback!" over and over again. Meghann and Sheldon came running hand in hand down the steps of the courthouse all smiles before throwing their arms around each other again.

" We did it Dr. Cooper! We beat my cousin and get to stay together!", Meghann exclaimed as she kissed him again.

" I never thought I'd say this Meghann, but, " YEEHAW!", Sheldon exclaimed like a western cowboy as he kissed her back.

Yay! They beat Lindsay! Sorry if this was a little long and had some repetitive responses in it. I'm autistic and it's hard for me to know how many times I've said something. What do you think will happen next? Let me know in the comments. To be continued…
