chapter thirty one

This chapter will have me talking about Britney's sentencing for her working with Owen and Brett Shaw. I'm here to remind you all that I have no experience and or what the hell I'm doing, so please don't be rude and criticize me. But constructive criticism is always welcome, just don't be rude about it. Thanks.

The next morning Dom called Brian saying that Britney had fallen asleep at his place and that she was coming back home tomorrow. Brian didn't mind as he knew that Britney would be in good hands. He trusts Dom with Britney with his life. Then again, Dom and Brian swore with each other that they'd keep the girl as safe as possible.

Britney woke up a little later than the previous day, but luckily she didn't have her little brother waking her up. Which she thought was rude as it was only ten-thirty in the morning. She hadn't been waking up until at least noon or one. So ten thirty seemed a little outrageous.

When Britney woke up, she immediately went on her phone as she had a news app. She unlocked her phone and let the notifications come swarming in. What caught her eye is this: Britney O'Conner has a mandatory court date for her crimes for working with Owen Shaw. She knew that her eyes widened nearly out of their sockets at seeing that. She clicked on the article and read it she had panic setting in as she continued to read it. "For her crimes of being Owen and Brett Shaw's main henchmen of his crimes, the minimum sentence that she could receive is two years." She sent the article to her Dad as she didn't know if it was true or not. Then again, he blabs on him being a 'cop' and 'agent' in the past. Whatever that means.

Britney groaned when she was told that it was true as her father called the LAPD which is where the article came from, he confirmed the article, and now everyone was getting ready for the court appearance. Britney glanced out the window as she couldn't bare herself to listen to what the judge was saying as it sounded like bullshit. Matter of fact it was indeed bullshit. But she wouldn't say that, she's not that rude.

"Jury, please stand." The judge says as the jury stands Britney finally looks at the judge as Brian is standing next to Britney with Mia on the other side. He was her 'attorney' since they didn't have one.

"Attorney," Judge says to Brian as he stands up having enough knowledge of what happens in court, as he's been in here a time or two. "How do you plead?"

Britney looked at her father as he gave her a side-eyed look before turning to the judge, to say his plea. "My verdict, sir...is...not guilty," Brian says as Britney felt herself sigh as this was nerve-wracking for her as even Luke and Lindsey Hobbs were at court too. All of the girls were and their respective parents.

Brian knew why he said 'not guilty' because the maximum sentence is forty years, and he wanted to cut his daughter slack. Britney couldn't help but grin at hearing that but of course, the people took it the wrong way. They thought that she was smiling because she was proud of what she did. No, that's not the truth. The reason why she was grinning from ear to ear was because of her father giving her some slack.

"Before the verdict gets too happy..." The judge says getting everyone's attention as they turn their heads towards the judge, as Britney stops grinning and looks at the judge. "The verdict will serve her sentence on two years probation and house arrest and cannot be near any sort of weapons within a 50-mile radius." The judge says as Britney's mouth gaped open when she heard that, as in her personal opinion that's the most outrageous thing that she's ever heard.
