Sleepless In Seattle
It is Max's first day back at McCarron High School, the high school she attended before gong to Blackwell Academy.
The last bell rings for the day. Max walks through the hallways and went to attend the school's photography afterschool program.
Victoria is going to be part of the program too. Soon as Max and Victoria went to the classroom where the photograph afterschool program meeting is being held, the school reporters bombard them with questions on their experiences of the "Blackwell Romance Scandal".
"Well we did made public headlines and I guess this was inevitable."
Max and Victoria thought they are just going to a photography program meeting, turned into a full hour news interview on their involvement of the "Blackwell Romance Scandal".
After leaving school, Max went to the prison to see Warren again.
"How was your first day of school?" asked Warren.
"Good… until Victoria and I went to see if we could be part of the school's photography group turned into a news interview about our case with the "Blackwell Romance Scandal"", Max pouted as she sounded annoyed on what happened.
"What did they asked? What did you or Victoria tell them?"
"How does it feel your simple relationship turned into a national frenzy? Do you think romance is dead? Why do the police try to dictate anything they personally don't like… like two kids in love that is none of their business?" Max gives examples.
"I only told them I end up falling in love with you when there are other girls that liked you… one of them end up being a crazy nutcase that led to a police corruption nightmare."
Max later leaves the prison and heads home. Then she remembers something… It is November, Warren's birthday is coming up this month, and she hasn't bought him a present yet.
Over the weekend, she goes searching for Warren's present, but she has no idea in her mind what to get him… especially he is going ot spend two years in juvenile hall and there isn't a whole lot he can do for the time being.
Then she could give some short time gifts so she bought Assassin's Creed IV video game, Birdemic 2, and several science books.
It is November 20th, Warren's birthday. Max came to visit and Warren's family came to Seattle to see home on his birthday.
This is the only time that Max and his family can visit him beyond the visitor's booth and they visit him in his cell.
They first celebrate with a birthday cake.
Warren's family gave him several science related shirts. Warren's parents also brought his presents from Max, his other family members and including presents from Kate, Victoria, Alyssa, Stella, and all of his former fellow Blackwell students, even Zachary and Logan sent him presents, birthday cards, and letters.
Kate writes him on how she is doing. "Happy 17th birthday Warren. I hope you are doing well in prison and I cannot wait for you to get out. I am doing great now living in Vancouver, Washington where I am attending a Christen Art school. From, Kate."
Daniel writes… "Dear Warren… congratulations on your 17th birthday… too bad you have to spend it in prison when you deserved better. I am doing well back in my hometown, San Diego and I am taking an art class. You are a hero and I hope you like my drawing," From Daniel. Warren sees that Daniel made a drawing Warren as a superhero with the typical blue spandex and dark purple tights and cape.
"Look… Juliet and Zachary are still together and going to school in Zach's hometown in Eureka, California," Max stated.
Max reads their letter to Warren… "Hello Warren… Juliet… want to thank you for taking the bullet for the rest of us… that also means me. Someday and somehow I will repay you for all what you did and I know it is not going to be a small or easy task. This is Zachary… I want to apologize for all the shit I gave you back at Blackwell… you are a good-hearted student. I cannot believe you are still went to prison for the Arcadia Bay polices' bullshit and you took a bullet for Juliet and everyone else. Anyway… I am on the football team to my new school. We wish you the best…. From Juliet and Zach."
Max then moves on to Dana's letter. "Here is a letter from Dana. She and Trevor are in a long distance relationship. Dana moved back to her parents in Portland and Trevor's family had to move out of Arcadia Bay and now live in Salem. They are doing great in their new homes they said."
"Even Logan… he writes "To my new main man Warren… I am still living in Arcadia Bay, but I am attending high school at the next town. I am already their new starting quarterback since the last one sucks. Sad to hear you are still in prison when you don't deserve it. I hope everything works out for you soon. Logan.""
"It looks like you made a lot of friends out of this," Charles commented.
"I got some good news about the situation with the Arcadia Bay Police. Chief Nagy is kicked off the force by the disciplinary hearing and he is found guilty on evidence tampering and neglect… he is facing five years in prison. Captain Mesa is suspended for sixteen months without pay. The other officers named in the case either have been kicked off the force or handed severe suspensions too."
"Now for the bad news," Alicia informs. "The Arcadia Bay Police Department and the town leaders ousted their new chief of police from Eugene and then they pointed their new Chief of Police. Their first act is the police department is going to no longer pay your special accommodation, backtrack your sentencing, and they filed for bankruptcy so we may not get the lawsuit money we won. I will try to fight this since they are violating their end of our plea deal," Alicia states.
"What are you going to do to fight this exactly?" asks Max.
"Well first I will file a beach of agreement lawsuit against them and I am going to add our withdrawn lawsuit we had against the police department. Since the plea agreement had you pleading guilty to the charges against you… I will try to move to have your charges dropped," Alicia explained.
Warren parents leave while Max stays behind for a while. They are both on the bed; she has Warren lie on the bed while she sits on the other end and his feet on her lap as she gently rubs it.
"The North Korea Bay strikes again. You agreed to go to jail in exchange we drop the lawsuit and they make your stay in prison as pleasant and fun as possible… now that no money would be coming in…"
"My mom will take care of this… it won't look good for them if it looks they intentionally violate their end of the plea deal. She is also going to sue them for breach of contract and use it to make up the lawsuit my family dropped against them," Warren explained. "Violation of a plea deal and bankruptcy after losing several lawsuits may not work to their advantage."
"I hope so… then you could be free from prison and then I can have you all to myself," Max comments.
Max leaves for home when visiting hours are over. However, Max can't stand for Warren's new situation and do nothing about it... especially all Warren has done for her.
The next morning she calls and emails her former fellow Blackwell students about Warren's new situation.
A/N: I like to say thanks to Quackpork for favoring and following this story.
Now the Arcadia Bay police has struck again by not honoring their plea deal and Warren could face more years in prison. How Warren, Max, and friends would triumph this new setback?
