"Well the lighting is certainly nice." Finn joked as he and Colin entered the Litchfield County Jail.
"Hello officer," Colin joked, "we are here to pick up Mr. Logan Elias Monroe Huntzburger."
"How are you paying?" The officer asked not even looking up from the report he was filing.
"Oy, mate, do you mean to tell me we need to bail him out, not just pick him up."
"Uh huh."
"Do you take credit cards?" Colin asked as he pulled his wallet from his back pocket.
"No."
"Well how much is bail mate?"
"Ten grand."
"Finn is your check book in the car somewhere?" Colin sighed as he leaned against the wall.
"Alright officer here you go, a check for ten thousand dollars." Finn sighed as he slide the check to the officer.
"He will be out shortly." The officer responded as he finally looked up and motioned for them to take a seat.
Not long after Colin and Finn had taken their seats Logan walked out sporting a black eye and a split lip.
"Oy, mate, I certainly hope DuGrey came out worse than you did." Finn joked as he, Colin, and Logan walked toward the car.
"Oh don't worry, he's a hell of a lot worse." Logan laughed, causing his lip to bleed a little.
"Seriously though Logan," Colin started, "what happened?"
"Well," Logan started, "I went over to his place to tell him not to mess with Rory and well you know, one thing led to another and the cops showed up and I was in jail."
"I think that is quite possibly the shortest Logan Huntzburger story ever." Finn laughed as they climbed into his car. "So let's hear the E! True Hollywood Story version now."
"Seriously guys there isn't much to it." Logan sighed. "We were fighting, someone saw us and I assume that they called the police 'cause they showed up and arrested us. Come on guys it was a fight plain and simple."
"Oy, mate a plain and simple fight doesn't land you in jail and seriously Huntz, you're out on bail. There had to be something to make them arrest you, come on why did they arrest you."
"I might have had my pocket knife with me, and I might have pulled it on DuGrey."
"Shit Huntz, did they arrest you for assault and battery?" Colin asked as he gave Logan a shocked look.
"Ya." Logan whispered as he lit a cigarette as the car sped toward the Hayden house.
"Dude that's not a light charge, can't you face jail time?"
"Yup." Logan muttered as he stared out the window into to the dark night.
"Mate, have you called your parents or a lawyer or anyone besides up?"
"Ya, my lawyer came down to the precinct and sat with me during questioning, Mr. Dangerfield, my lawyer, is going to call my parents."
"What about DuGrey, did they charge him with anything?" Colin inquired.
"I think he may have been charged with battery, I honestly have no idea, I haven't seen him since the police broke up our fight."
"Mate this is serious."
"God I fucking get it you two!" Logan snapped. "Sorry but I just . . ." Logan sighed, he couldn't find the words to finish the sentence.
"I know mate." Finn replied as he patted Logan on the shoulder.
"Oh thank God they're back." Rory exclaimed as she saw headlights come through the blinds. "Come on Steph."
Logan sat in the car for a minute after Finn had turned off the car. He was dreading facing Rory looking like this.
"You coming mate?" Finn asked.
"Ya do you think you could give me and Rory sometime out here alone?" Logan sighed as he climbed out of the car as he silently thanked God that the darkness hid his bruises from his fiancée who was running out of the house.
"No problem Huntz," Colin smiled, "come Finn, Steph, let's go see what we can pull together for food tonight."
"Thank you." Logan mouthed as Colin led the group back into the house. He didn't have much time to think, seconds later Rory had engulfed him in a hug and was crying on his shoulder. "Shh, it's okay baby it's okay." He tried to consol her.
"I'm sorry Logan I'm so sorry, Tristan twisted everything, please believe me." Rory sobbed.
"I know sweetheart. I believe you." Logan whispered as he held her close.
"Where were you," Rory asked as she lifted her head to make eye contact with Logan, "oh my God! Logan what happened to you?" Rory questioned while her eyes focused on his bruised lip and black and blue eye.
"Nothing Ace, nothing to worry about I promise." Logan replied as he wrapped an arm around her and attempted to lead her into the house.
"No Logan you hurt, what happened, tell me, please." Rory pleaded. "Why did Colin and Finn have to come and get you from somewhere anyways?"
"Because I was in a fight and I was arrested." Logan replied truthfully.
"With who Logan, why were you in a fight?"
"With Tristan, we both got arrested and Colin and Finn had to come and bail me out of jail." Logan finished as he tried to read Rory's face.
"What the hell Logan!" Rory fumed. "You can't go fighting someone every time they piss you off!"
"Rory please, listen to me." Logan pleaded as he took her hand.
"No!"
"Rory I didn't do it because he made me mad, I did it because I know you were hurt and that it was because of what he did."
"Logan please don't go after him, he's looking for reasons to get you in trouble. You know he loves messing with you."
"I know Ace, but I don't like him hurting you or messing with what we have."
"Logan I know, but you have got to stop this fighting, it scares me it really does. What if someday you come home with something worse than a split lip? Logan please," Rory cried, "I don't want anything to happen to you, please."
"Everything is going to be ok, I promise don't worry about it ok." Logan smiled as he gently kissed Rory.
"I love you Logan, but I do worry. Now let's get you cleaned up." Rory sighed as she led Logan into the house.
