First off I am so thrilled everyone is enjoying this story as much as I am writing it Well enough about me, I bet you are all wondering when Nosedive is going to grow up huh, don't worry because he wont, but Wildwing is going to start taking charge of the whole situation very soon. Another thing is I never wrote a court scene before so I hope everything turns out ok. Enjoy
By the time the day of the trial came, both ducks and humans couldn't wait to get out of the pond to find out if the hellish nightmare, they were all in, would finally be over. When everyone woke up, that morning, they found Wildwing, sitting in the living room and watching the news.
"We are outside of the Anaheim federal courthouse waiting for the arrival of NFL hockey player Nosedive Flashblade, who was arrested 2 days ago for illegal drug possession and DUI, we also have word that the NHL league came together yesterday and suspended the teen until further notice."
After turning the news off, Wildwing got up from the couch and walked into the garage.
"Its going to be a media circus when we get there so I suggest we leave now."
"Wildwing do you want me to do a blood check before we go?"
Turning around, he noticed Nosedive's eyes were all blood shot and there were dark circles under them.
" How long does it take?"
" Not long maybe 5-10 minutes."
Nodding his head, Tanya went to the med lab and grabbed the kit, then rolled up Nosedive's sleeve and stuck a needle in his arm, which made him flinch.
" I thought you would be used to needles by now, since you put them in your arm every day kid."
Giving Canard a dirty look, Nosedive rolled down his sleeve and went into Phil's rental car.
" According to this, he is clean."
Mumbling impressive under his breath, everyone got into the car and they drove to the courthouse.
When they reached downtown, Klegghorn met them a block away.
" Every single news station is blocking the entrance, so we will take the kid from here and you guys can park in the garage up the street."
After letting Nosedive out of the car and promising Wildwing they would get him there safely, Klegghorn and 2 other officers walked Nosedive to the door.
When they got to the stairs every reporter from the LA area either flashed camera's or asked him questions.
"Nosedive are you drunk or high now?"
"Nosedive what other drugs are you taking besides heroine and cocaine?"
" Since you found about being suspended from not only school but from the NHL as well, will this finally make you stop?''
"Where are you getting your supplies from?''
After finally making it inside Nosedive just broke down in tears in front of his team and the police department. Wildwing hated seeing his baby brother like this and a part of him wanted to rush over to him, hold him, and just tell him everything will be ok, however a bigger part of him thought that he has every right to feel this way because he did it to himself, so they all just stood there and waiting for the teen to compose himself before they all walked in.
15 minutes after they all sat down, a police officer walked through the double doors and stood in front of the bench.
" Please rise for the honorable Judge Bartlett."
As the judge walked in and sat down, everyone just said a silent prayer and remained silent.
" Thank you and you all may be seated. Now for starters, Nosedive do you know why you are here?"
Letting go of the breath, he didn't realize he was holding, Nosedive answered.
"Yes"
"Ok can you please tell the court why you are here?"
" Because everyone thinks I have a problem with alcohol and drugs."
" And you don't think you do?"
"No sir I don't."
Shuffling through papers, Judge Bartlett continued.
"Then can you explain to myself and the court your behavior."
Nosedive rolled his eyes.
" Listen judge you see those people behind me, well its all their fault. They made me do it. They want me to grow up and stop fooling around, so they made me get addicted to drugs and alcohol. I didn't want to, but I had no choice. They are always pushing me to be someone I am not."
While Nosedive was talking to the judge, the team looked at each other in complete shock. They couldn't believe he was blaming them for his problem.
" So what you are trying to tell me is that its all their fault for leading you down this path and you take no responsibility what so ever."
Taking a deep breath Nosedive answered.
"Yes your honor that is exactly what I am saying."
Chuckling softly Bartlett continued.
" So it was their idea to drive Phil's car into the arena and it was their idea to play chicken with a motorcycle and get arrested?"
Nosedive sat there in silence and nodded his head.
" Well I hate to say this, but you are the one who is going to get punished not them. First off I want you to tell me right now where you are getting the drugs and alcohol?"
When Nosedive didn't answer Judge Bartlett continued.
" We are going to take a short recess and will continue in 10 minutes and hopefully that will give Mr. Flashblade time to give me answers. Also in that 10 minutes I will reach a verdict.
When the judge left the room every single person sitting behind Dive gave him dirty looks.
"Will you stop with the looks already."
Mallory was the first one to come up with a response.
"If we weren't in a court room, full of cops, I would seriously kill you right now. How dare you blame us for your little addiction problem you little piece of shit!"
"Leave me the hell alone!"
Phil jumped in between the 2 ducks.
" That's enough, don't start anything here, wait until we get home."
After giving each other more looks they both sat down.
" I hope you get thrown in jail!"
" Kiss my ass!"
" I though I said enough!"
Just then Judge Bartlett walked back into the court room, but this time holding a piece of paper.
" Nosedive please stand. You are hereby assigned to 6 months of house arrest Now within those 6 months you are to go to AA meetings and report to a medical lab for blood tests. If you appear sober and drug free those 6 months not only will you be allowed back in school but you will be allowed to play hockey. As for the arena…the total costs of damages comes to 300,000 thousand dollars, which you will pay for. The repair bill for your managers car comes to 5,000 dollars, which you will pay for as well. Nosedive I am warning you once, you fail to appear at one AA meeting, fail on blood test. I am throwing your little ass in juvenile attention center so fast, you wouldn't know what happened. However there is a way you can get passed all this and that's agreeing to go to rehab. Now what will you choose?"
Again Nosedive just sat there in silence.
" Ok then, one more thing…if you do decide rehab, you will need a parent or guardian to sign for it. You are dismissed.
Once Judge Bartlett left the room, Nosedive grabbed his jacket and hurried out of the doors, while mumbling "this sucks" and "my life is over"
" I hope you realize that once we get home, I going to murder that brother of yours."
Wildwing just continued to watch Nosedive leave the room in disgust.
" Duke if there are any piece's of him left when I'm done with him, then you can have him, but I want him first."
Then the rest of the ducks left the courthouse all planning on what they were going to do or say when they got home.
