I own nothing except a few characters and the plot. There are a few Law & Order things included just to add some New York flavor.
TROOPS: NEW YORK
RETURN OF THE CHOSEN ONE
"You what?" A shocked Obi-Wan asked after Anakin had filled him in on all the details. Michael attempted to keep a straight face as Obi-Wan went beserk and resorted to going over some papers on his desk.
"Padme technically died on Polis Massa and I technically died over Endor after throwing our favorite liar down the reactor shaft." Anakin said. "Besides, this time it won't be a secret marriage because Luke rewrote the Jedi Code so it's not forbidden and we'll have a wedding with everyone here. I think we'll be living here now. Should I even tell Luke and Leia about all this?"
"If you want them to come here with their families. I assume you do and so would Padme. If you decide to tell them, tell Leia that if Han Solo tries any stunt piloting out here. I will personally see to the impounding of that ship of his for any unpaid landing fees or whatever else Firmus can come up with. He has not lost his game at all." Michael said.
"Davin told me about how well he adjusted to this planet." Anakin replied.
"He tell you about the Taxi Feud?"
"Taxi Feud?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Anakin's Stormtroopers started a feud between cabbies in this city and the Empire after a few ticket blitzes on dangerous cab driving." Michael explained.
"I just wish Ahsoka could be there." Anakin said.
"In a way, you'll get that wish Skyguy." Erica said appearing at the door with some papers for Michael.
"What's this?"
"From Kelsey, about the .22 recovered from Flores and his pals. It's not our murder weapon, but it has 2 open robberies, a shooting with a live victim, and another murder on it. Richie's jumping for joy at piling charges on Flores and his pals and letting the lawyers sort it out. She also wants her Caf-Pow."
"Are you telling me that Ahsoka Tano is related to you?" Anakin asked.
"My grandmother. Your Captain was my Grandfather." Erica explained to Anakin.
"Can I call you Snips?" Anakin asked.
"It's implied since she called you Skyguy." Michael said as Obi-Wan rolled his eyes.
"I saw that Obi-Wan." Anakin said.
"Send your suspects over for court. We have enough on them." Michael told Erica.
ARRAIGNMENT COURT
"Docket number 31523. Empire vs. Flores, Guzman, and Santiago. Charges are 1 count each murder in the first degree, one count each murder in the second degree, one count each attempted murder in the second degree, two counts each robbery in the first degree, and one count each possession of a loaded firearm." The court clerk read off the charges against Richie and Erica's suspects.
"Busy boys. Let's get their pleas." Judge Harrison Taylor said as he read the paper handed to him by the clerk.
"Not guilty."
"Not guilty."
"Not guilty."
"Murder 1. Which murder qualifies for that?"
"One of the victims is from the planet Bespin." Colonel Ryan Pratchard said.
"The victim from Bespin that my clients allegedly killed was a human not a visitor of nonhuman origin." Defense Attorney Gerard Wills said.
"Mr. Wills should do his research, the United States applies Murder 1 to all human or nonhuman visitors from other planets. Because these are violent repeat offenders,the Empire wants these defendants off the streets. We're asking for remand." Ryan said.
"This is the same Empire that uses the US anti-terrorism statutes as an excuse to put people in jail with no charges and no expectation of release."
"Save it for the trial judge. Defendants are remanded. And Colonel, make sure they do not fall through the cracks of the Imperial Correction System." Judge Taylor banged his gavel. Wills handed Ryan some papers.
"My motion to supress the gun. Your people didn't have a warrant to search the toolbox."
Krissy and Padme had returned to Wanda's office with handfuls of shopping bags.
"This city is amazing." Padme said.
"She doesnt want to leave." Krissy added.
"Anakin's looking for you and Obi-Wan Kenobi is here." Wanda told them.
"Did he say why?" Padme asked.
"I was told it was a surprise." Wanda said. The three women made their way over to Ops where they found Anakin and Obi-Wan in Michael's office.
"What's so urgent and highly classified?" Wanda asked Michael.
"We sent three people to court for arraignment on the dead guy from Cloud City and a bunch of other crimes that gun was attached to. Terrik piled on the charges and decided to let the lawyers sort it all out. I sent Lavi and Walertin to annoy someone at a so-called massage parlor, so expect a phone call about that because a State Senator should have used a burn phone when arranging a Happy Ending massage. Erica Rex is related to a Jedi named Ahsoka Tano. Felth and Hollister are checking chop shops for the rest of those stolen ship parts. Finally, we need to get a line to Coruscant care of Leia Organa Solo and find Luke Skywalker. Then plan a wedding. I think that's everything." Michael said. Wanda's annoyance dropped when she heard Michael mention wedding.
"Whoa! Hold everything! Coruscant, Luke, Leia, wedding. Mazel Tov." Krissy said to Padme.
"As soon as your kids arrive, we can start planning." Wanda added.
"Tell Mike Piett if Han Solo tries any stunt piloting, I am impounding the Falcon until a judge tells me to release it." Michael said causing Anakin to laugh.
"Luke and Leia married the same type of person. Unpredictable with colorful pasts. Han Solo was a smuggler until he and Luke broke Leia out of her cell on the first Death Star. Mara Jade Skywalker was an Emperor's Hand until Endor."
Ryan had called Richie into his office.
"I need you for court on Monday, 0900."
"What for?"
"Some defense attorney claims you need a warrant to search a toolbox left abandoned on a sidewalk. We saw Judge Bradley today and he wants to hear exactly what went down."
"I just hope this lawyer doesn't do what I think he wants to do."
"What? Cross-examine you on your history of excessive force and the Myers-tolerated Bag of Constitutional Runarounds?"
"Actually, I was thinking more about Anakin's involvement." Ryan was ready to flip out.
"When were you going to tell me that he did more then watch? After Wills said something in court and I'm ordered to produce Anakin who ends up cross-examined on everything he did as Darth Vader? That will go real well if a jury ever hears about it."
"Couldn't you object or something?"
"Something? Like tell Anakin I have to ask him about Vader's crimes and that I want him to invoke his right against self-incrimination because he can't invoke it when Wills asks him about Vader after he answers my questions? That will go over real well with him and with Felth." Anakin walked in.
"We heard yelling and since Walertin isn't here. I figured I'd look in here."
"You're just in time to get a crash course in the United States Constitution. I'm going to start with the fact that in this country, you have the right to not incriminate yourself about what Vader did in the past."
"What's going on?"
"Richie left you out of his report, but you're on the NYPD report. There's a hearing on Monday about do we need a warrant to search a toolbox left on the sidewalk. The defense attorney may in fact I think he will ask you about Vader's crimes if you have to take the stand. I'm going to try and keep that from happening." Ryan explained as Anakin took a seat.
"What do I have to say? Guy tripped over a trash can because he was clumsy and just as stupid."
"Flores claims that a trash can magically appeared out of nowhere and tripped him up."
"I thought this was about me and searching toolboxes." Richie said.
"I'm preparing for all possibilities. If Wills calls Anakin as a defense witness, he can't give immunity for crimes committed by a person who technically died 30 years ago." Ryan explained.
