Moving day for the Smith-Nedakh family. 
Tanner:  No place on the Jeep for the trailer to connect.  Fin?
Finnick: Nothing on the golf cart, either.  We're gonna have to use The Tank. 
Albus: Neither SUV has a trailer hitch?  
Tanner: The Tank's the only one with a hitch.  Grandpa Mace's truck had one, but Dad gave him a free pass to use The Tank for horse shows.  He sold the truck when Grandma got sick. 
John: Wish we'd known this before.  We could have made the move in one trip, using that beast. 
Nakoma meets them in the driveway of the new house. 
Nakoma: Change of plans.  One of the bunk beds goes into Anakin's room.  He's giving Roxy the lounge thing, since she's shorter.  Also it's pink. 
Albus (chuckles): I wonder what he'll do if they decide to have a pink wedding.  
Tanner:  Same thing I will.  Grin and bear it.
Nakoma: You're in the wedding party?
Tanner: No, but I'll have to look at y'all.

Meanwhile, at the police station.
Helena: Thank you, Chief Lynch, for driving Draco.  
Draco: Why did you have her do that?  It was humiliating! 
Helena: That's exactly why I asked her to do it.  If I had my way, you'd be in Juvenile Corrections until your trial.   
Draco:  TRIAL?!  You can't let this go to trial! 
Helena: I can and I will.  
Draco: What does Dad have to say about this? Where is he? 
Helena: Your father has protected you with his influence for the last time.  
Helena: Until your trial, you can consider yourself under house arrest. You will go nowhere but school.  Your phone will be taken and I've already changed the Internet password at ho --
Draco (stops suddenly): I need to use the restroom before we go. 
Helena: I've already seen the woman.  You are not going to avoid her. 
Charlotte: Well, fancy meeting you here.  Come to pick up your little angel? 
Helena: There's no need to be catty.  
Charlotte: I hope you don't think you can convince me to drop the charges.  
Helena: I wouldn't dream of trying.  Come along, Draco. 
Charlotte watches them go, thinking: She doesn't want me to drop the charges?  Or is this a reverse psychology thing?  What kind of mind game is Helena playing?  I wonder what she'd do if I did drop the charges?  If I convinced that old hippy to do the same?  
Wow! Don’t mess with Helena!
ReplyDeleteHelena is so done with her son's BS. As for Charlotte.... she started it!
