One Shot #31 (Cont.)

Moana's POV

Four days later...

  After badgering my parents for a few days, I managed to get ten thousand dollars to ban Maui out of jail. He doesn't know it yet. I can't wait to surprise him. In addition, I'm going to help persuade the police to let him make up the time in some alternative way such as community service. I happen to be quite persuasive. I sign in the main office and get escorted down to Maui's cell. When I get there, I see him passed out against the wall looking rather weak compared to how strong he normally is. "M-Maui?" No response. "M-maui I'm here." Slowly, his eyes flutter open. They take a moment to adjust to the sight of me. "M-Moana? You came back." "I'm a girl of my word. Plus, I'd never leave you to the wolves."

   I frown as he hobbles over to me. "What happened to you Maui?" He bites his lip. "I had a bad fall is all." I raise an eyebrow. "I don't believe you. I can tell you're lying to me because you bit your lip when saying that." He sighs. "Fine... the truth is I got into a brawl with some asshole in the cell next door to me. He got pissed because I defended myself when he tried to shit all over me. In other words, he couldn't handle being dished what he dishes to everyone else." I lean through the bars and kiss him on the cheek. "Will you be okay though?" He nods. 

   There's a moment of silence before I break it with my good news. "So Maui, I found a solution to get you out here." Maui instantly perks up. "Really? What'd you come up with?" I grin at him as I place the envelope containing ten thousand dollars in it. "I managed to get your bail money. With this and a deal of completing community service, I'm pretty sure you'll be released immediately. Want me to try?" He smiles and nods eagerly. "I'll be right back. I have to go the office in order to attempt it." As I head back upstairs, Maui reaches out and gently grabs a hold o my arm. "Thank you Moana." I whip around and give him a toothy smile. "You're welcome." 

An hour later...

 I was able to reason with the police and persuade them to let Maui out of jail, at least for now. He has a court hearing to attend next week, but if that goes well, he's free for good. "So Maui, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first love?" "The bad news. I always like to get the bad news out of the way." "Well the bad news is that you have a court hearing next week." He sighs and mumbles "Figures" to himself. He then raises an eyebrow. "So what's the good news?" I smile. "The good news is as of right now, you're free to leave. In addition, if you say the right things and plea the insanity plea at your court hearing, you'll be free permanently." 

   Maui smiles at me for the first time today. "Well what are we waiting for? Guards, let me out!" They roll their eyes, but let him out of his cell. As soon as he's standing in front of me face to face rather than behind bars, I throw myself into his arms. "I've missed you so much Maui." He kisses every part of my face as he hugs me back. "I've missed you too Moana, more than you'll ever know. Now let's get out of here." I nod and we walk out of the jail hand in hand.
