A/N: hey so before you start this chapter, everything in italics is a dream.

Reekid kept glancing at Swagger as they made their way up the steps

"Once again kid. I'm feeling fine" Swagger told him but Reekid could see right through him. He was slouching with his hand covering his wound.

"Swagger, I'm worried about this. Are we sure this is a good idea?" Reekid asked and Swagger patted the kid's back.

"I wouldn't worry too much about it," Swagger smiled as he continued to the courtroom. Reekid stopped right outside of the doors.

"If you don't want to go in I can stay out here with you" Grant offered but Reekid shook his head "You don't want to testify?" Grant asked and Reekid nodded his head "You don't have to, and besides you're not that big of a witness if anything they'll just call Swagger, Eddie, and me."

"Come in Kid. You won't want to miss Juicy's face when he gets what he deserves" Josh said as he walked in and Reeked took a deep breath. The teen walked into the room with Your Narrator beside him. The two of them took their seats and Reekid tried to avoid looking towards Juicy's direction but failed. He sat at his table in handcuffs but a proud smile on his face. Orange was not his color. Reekid flinched as Juicy looked at him from the corner of his eye. Reekid looked away and paid attention to the judge walking into the room. He stood up when he was told and sat back down. He glanced over at Juicy once again, orange really was not his color.

"The jury has a verdict" The Judge turned to the jurors and Reekid looked confused

"We just started the trail though" Reekid muttered and Grant raised an eyebrow at him

"You mean the trial that's been going on for three days?" Grant asked and Reekid's eyes widened. Why didn't he remember it? He had to present for the three days. Reekid figured he would find out later and looked to one of the jurors who was standing. He smiled softly

"We find him guilty" He announced and Juicy was quick to stand up.

"What!" He shouted, Juicy looked around and made eye contact with Reekid. He could see the rage in Juicy's eyes and with a smile Reekid waved goodbye to him. "This isn't fair! I'm innocent!" He yelled as the cops took him away. The rage in his eyes faded and Reekid realized how terrified he really was.

"Come on kid. Let's get out of here" Swagger smiled at him and Reekid nodded his head in agreement but an uneasy feeling wouldn't go away. They all made small talk on their way out of the building and Reekid tensed up as a bunch of flashes and talking at once got him off guard. Swagger was quick to cover ReeKid's face. "Can you all fuck off?!" He shouted at them as he lead Reekid through the crowd

"Can you tell us how you feel?" One reporter asked and Swagger ignored her. "What about the kid?"

"He isn't taking questions right now." Swagger glared at the woman. "Grant. Can you take him away from her?"

"Yeah of course. Come on bud" Narrator said and led Reekid away.

"Do you think Gauge acted alone?" She asked

"I don't know" Swagger crossed his arms with unamused look

"Do you think the kid might have helped him?" The reported continued with the questions. Swagger shook his head no. "Then why did you want him to leave so badly?" The reporter smiled which made Swagger angry. Josh caught on and pulled Swagger away from the reporter

"Ma'am I think that's enough" Josh said calmly

"But I might be right! It could be anyone of you! And the kid's reasoning during the trial didn't make sense" The reporter explained
