--Artemis read the look in Lindsay's eyes, and shook her head.--
"Don't even Linds. This is not your fault. You fell in love, I protected you...." she said, sighing...."And no, I hit him, he didnt' hit back." she said, dazedly..."There was someone else there. A witness, I don't know who, but someone told the cops, and they told Seoras' parents, and they decided to press charges...." she put her head in her hands...."And to be honest, I dont' know if I'm alright....."

WHAT? Were his parents insane? Pressing charges...first he had heard anything like that, though no one ever told him anything.
"What the...? They can't. I know my brother, he won't agree to any of this. They can't prosecute you if the defendant won't testify, right?"
He looked at Jimmi. Clearly the boxer was even less informed than he had been. "No one standing here would have said anything. Seoras wouldn't have said anything. Angel is the only other person I can thnk of that knows, but she wasn't there when it happened. She found out the day after from my brother...And I'm afraid not. Self-defense...no. Seoras wouldn't hit anyone, except maybe me, and especially not someone he considered a friend. He has this thing about him...he refuses to give up on a friendship. He doesn't care what someone does to him he won't fight back."

Jimmi sat down not saying anything, he was just trying to think who she knew. he looked to Terri and smiled, 'hey' he said then looking back to the gravelled floor thinking about nothing, well Artemis and the whole fight. 'would you be on bail?' he asked her, as he was curious. He knew she would not survive in there, his dad was a boxer and he barely does and he is male.

"She would have to be. They can't deny bail to someone that didn't commit murder or some other heinous crime. If need be, I'll bail you out." Anything for Artemis...and Seoras would agree with him. There was no reason for her to be thrown in jail, this was a personal dispute between a group of kids, no permanent damage. At least not physically. Mentally though...

--Artemis shook her head, and shrugged....--
"They're going to try. The cop is a real prick..." she said sighing.
--she looked up, and flinched.--
"Shit..." she muttered loudly...."He found me sooner than I'd expected."
--The cop, that had been following her, suddenly showed himself, and she cringed as he walked toward the group. Artemis sighed, and stood slowly..."
"Can we please not do this here?" she pleaded desperately..
--A sick smile grew on the cops face, as he shook his head.--
"No. You already got away once, not a second time." he said, evil in his voice. He walked toward her.
--Artemis sighed. *god this guy is a prick*--
"Let me see the paper work...." she said coldly
--He held out a warrant, and grabbed her wrist, taking out his handcuffs.--
"You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you at no cost. During any questioning, you may decide at any time to exercise these rights, not answer any questions, or make any statements. " he recited the miranda rights to her, and cuffed her arms behind her back
--Artemis sighed sadly, and shook her head. She looked back at the group of friends, a single tear running down her cheek--

Being skint did not help jimmi at all to bail his girlfriend out, looked like wonder boy terri would get all the credit for that. He stood up trotting over to Artemis, 'it will be okay alright, just do not say anything at all, until there is a professional there, ill meet you doen there, dont panic, you will be okay, trust me.' he said smilinh. He took off to his car ready to drive to the police station to meet her outside so that he could be with her.

--Artemis nodded, not opening her mouth, for fear that she would throw up. The twisted cop seemed to be enjoying this a bit too much. She glared up at him, as he stood a good foot over her head. She took a deep breath to calm herself, but it didnt work. at all--

"No. Stop!" she cryed desperatly to the police officer. "No, your not going to stay in jail Artemis. I'm on your side. I'm one of the biggest witness afterall, and I'm not going to let them put you in jail. I promise." Lindsay sighed and then waited to see what was going to happen now.

Seoras was bored. He had been trying to figure out where his brother had gone, he wanted to go home and had been driven in today. He didn't feel like walking home, so he was walking down a hallway. He looked out a window into the courtyard. Artemis...wow, major dejavu...and Terri, Lindsay and that boxer kid Jimmi. And a cop. Crap. He raced around the corner and shoved his way through the door to outside, more than able to put 2 and 2 together.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? You can't arrest her, she didn't do anything wrong!"

--The cop looked up, to see Seoras running out towards him. He shook his head--
"I have a warrant." he said, handing it to him...."Hand approved by father dearest...." he said, cruelty in his voice

Seoras? Ah, forgot about him...was supposedto be driving him home. This was more important.
Terri moved to block the cops potential exit, folding his arms over his chest. "Something tells me that warrant is lacking what you need to make a real arrest. Probable cause. You can't prove that Artemis is guilty of anything. You couldn't possibly have enough to take her in like this, seeing as she's innocent." So, he was stretching the truth a little, but it technically was Seoras's fault that all this was happening. His brother wasn't stupid, he would back Terri up if it would get Artemis off the hook.

Jimmi saw the block, 'Terri, what the heck are you doing, your making it worse for her, can you not see that.' he said half yelling so he would hear him. he put his hand on his head and sighed, 'for God sake' he said. Looking at Artemis, he felt so worried for her, and his emotions were identical to when they were taking his dad in to prison.

Such strange things going on lately, thought Remoc.
He had been trying unsuccesfully to find Arty and more importantly Terri. While he knew Terri well, he didn't know his brother Seoras as good. Remoc just wanted to get things straight in his head, as he didn't want to get stuck in some personal affair. Bad blood wasn't good, he knew that from...experience.
However, as he turned down a staircase, his eyes drifted out of the window. As usual, Remoc's mind was slow to react. Looks like a ruckus in the courtyard...Hmmm, there's Arty and Terri...and Seoras...Jimmi...and a, cop?! His mind screaming red alerts, he bolted down the last steps and into the courtyard.

((quiet you, silly british boy, you left and you're going to be the one making it worse if you shout until you're blue in the face))
Seoras took the warrant, scanning it. Signature...authentic or a damn good forgery. Cause...testimony of an unnamed eye-witness? Right, because an intelligent person would believe that. There went his faith in the justice system...
"This is crap, all of it," he said, the paper growing rather crinkled in his grip. "You don't have a credible eye-witness. You made it up. No one would believe this. An unnamed witness? Screams set up. You won't get ten minutes into a trial, I'll make sure of that. In case you forgot, I am the primary defendant."
A sudden instinct made him glance behind him. There was a kid running toward them. Remoc, Terri's communist friend. And an expert all things legal since the Second World War. Probably even before that.
"Remoc!" he called, holding the paper out behind him. "Take a look at this! What do you think?" This crud cop wasn't going to get away with anything here.
((clearly he sensed your communistic aura, Komrade...))

((Why do you have to be so rude, seriously, there is no need for it.)
Jimmi just walked away, if he was to stay there he would have hit them all for stupidness, all Seoras had to do was go down to the station and say i have dropped the charges in the attence of his parents and Artemis would have walked out with out harm or any judgement. 'See you at the police Station Artemis, anything i say here just gets thrown in my face, but dont worry, you will be fine, just stay with the cop, do as he says and dont say anything until you have a lawyer. Love you.' he said smiling, 'and you will be fine trust me.' he said smiling. Jimmi knew about these things, he watched a few cop shows and also witness his dad's arrest who gave him some good advice if he was ever he was arrested arrested.
