New Year's Angel (R5 Fan Fiction -Rydellington)

Help NYPD

May 3rd 2014

Ryland

                Man did that feel great! Not only did I just find out the most important secret in the R5 world, but I also survived standing up to my two eldest brothers. That in itself is one of the greatest achievements I have ever had. One does not normally tell Riker what to do and then get past Rocky to tell the tale. Nah, they are usually pretty happy and easy going, but I still can’t believe that they let me get away without so much as an argument. After Rocky had finished creepily staring me down, I was positive that he was going to fight the truth out of me. Nothing would have prepared me for his actual smooth, calm reaction and deal making. The moment he stuck his hand out requesting to shake mine; yeah I literally almost passed out. But, I made that deal and as I ran up to Officer Nichols’ door I was still kind of mind blown.

                Should I knock? What if Ross and Ellington are still there? No they should be gone by now. Whatever I’m going in “Officer Nichols?” I entered the office to find Nichols standing behind his desk staring at a picture on the wall. I must have startled him because the moment I had said his name he turned around pretty quickly with a jump looking lost.  “Ryland? What are you doing here? Your brother and friend just left to go meet up with you guys.” Good, Rocky hadn’t told the others what was happening yet. “Yes they did, but I will not be meeting them for a while. Officer, if I may have a moment of your time there is some new evidence that I would like to discuss with you.” I shut the door and took a seat in front of Nichols’ desk. This was probably going to take to a while to sink in.

2 hours later

                “So you see Officer, my parents are innocent and I have to find a way to prove that Sabrina Carpenter is involved in the kidnapping of my sister who is very much alive.” The guy just sat and stared at me. I admit my story did seem a little far-fetched. WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE! R5 is a Hollywood Records band. There is going to be drama everywhere you go. Okay, maybe not this much drama, but drama for sure. I had told Officer Nichols EVERYTHING that I knew. So I guess I can’t blame him for being a little shocked. Let’s see, new things for the police to understand were that my brothers were being followed by guys who could be ordered to kill them at any second, my sister the victim was alive and kidnapped by a Disney stars parent, and our parents who were arrested for potential assistance in said crime are actually innocent and are being blackmailed by the evil people. Oh my god my life is such a soap opera!   

                “Ryland.... (Blank stare)... (Incoherent babbling)... WHAT?” Okay, fair enough response I suppose. “Look Officer, I really don’t have time to sit here for another 2 hours and try to get you to fully understand the situation. The only reason I am even telling you this right now is because Rocky wanted me to make sure that I was working with the NYPD. But honestly if you guys can’t keep up I can do this myse...” and just like that there was a finger in my face. Nichols was standing up with his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. After about 3 minutes of silence I started getting frustrated. “Okay did you seriously just interrupt me to stand there looking stupid or do you have a point.” Again there was a finger shoved in my face before the dude finally placed his hands on his desk and looked at me. “Ryland normally I would need serious sufficient evidence to even be able to begin helping you sort all of that out, but seeing as yours and your father’s words are what I have to go on, I will over look proper procedure. Only because of your current involvement in this case! However, I cannot let you go after the Carpenter girl on your own.”       

                Ugh! Now I was going to have to prove my worth to these idiots. The same idiots who couldn’t find one piece of helpful evidence in this case. He must have noticed my serious aggravation towards that idea because he instantly began explaining himself. “Let me explain! I will have 4 of my men instructed to follow the band around 24/7 to see if we can get a glimpse at any of their stalkers. You will be bugged with our high tech spy gear to allow us to keep tabs on your work. That includes wireless microphone, camera, and tracker. Anytime you call that number you will call it from here so that we can attempt to trace it. Finally, if you go out into public to attempt to confront Miss Carpenter you shall be escorted by one of my undercover men for a body guard. Do these seem like reasonable requests to you?”

                Actually yes they did. But I still wanted to make sure that I was wearing the pants in this operation so I decided to add one final thing into the pot. “On one condition; when the time comes to save Rydel, I want to be the one to tell my brothers everything and WE will plan how to save her. Do we have a deal Officer?” Nichols took some time to “think” about this, also probably trying to seem like he still had some control in this and then finally shook my hand. The game had begun. Nichols took me around the station introducing me to the guys that would be working my black ops and got me all of the necessary equipment. As we prepared to make the first phone call to Rydel’s captors, I could feel the excitement growing. With any luck, in a few short days things would finally be back to normal. Here goes nothing.
