Chapter 24

James was sitting up watching tv with Gnomeo when Juliet showed up.

''Juliet!'' Her dad shouted hobbling over and hugging her. ''You're alright!''

''Yeah, dad I'm fine and it's all over.'' She said.

''What do you mean?'' Asked Gnomeo coming over to her and hugging her.

''Well Marcus and I made a deal and signed papers so basically if we don't rat him out, he won't rat me or the girls out.'' Juliet said.

''I hope it works.'' Gnomeo said worried.

''It will.'' She smiled.

''Well, I have to get to work, will you two be ok here?'' Asked Gnomeo.

''Yes, we will.'' Juliet said.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and Gnomeo answered it to see officers surrounding them and went to Juliet and arrested her.

''Juliet Redbrick you are under arrest for robbing the museums and working and helping as an accomplice. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.'' The police said.

''Wait this is a misunderstanding.'' Gnomeo said trying to defend her.

''We got a call saying she was at the robberies and that she was part of it, that is all, and we picked up her partner in crime.'' The officer said taking Juliet away who had tears running down her face but didn't say anything.

''No please my daughter, she's innocent you can't just take the word of somebody without proof.'' James said.

''Don't worry We'll get her out, this is protocol they have to take her in, but they have nothing to hold her. I'll call my lawyer.'' He called Mick.

Juliet was quiet on the ride there, she kept her mouth shut in a way he felt relieved, if she cooperated with them, they might make it easier on her and once at the station she was fingerprinted and booked and placed in a interrogation room.

Officer Noah came in. ''You're a hard girl to find Juliet.'' He said.

Juliet stayed quiet not saying anything.

''Well, I must say your work is impressive and your flirting skills while your partner gets the stuff, and you get out of there.'' Noah said trying.

She stayed quiet.

''You know your partner Marcus Fuller is in the other room spilling everything... but if you talk to me and put down your statement.'' He said.

''Don't I get a lawyer?'' She asked.

Suddenly Nova came in. ''Alright Noah enough.''

''Hi, I'm Officer Nova, so want to tell me why you stole the paintings?'' She asked sitting across from Juliet.

Suddenly Mick came in. ''That is enough no more talking to my client.''

''She still needs to give a statement.'' Nova said.

Juliet gave a statement and then was free to go back to Gnomeo's who was waiting and hugged her.

''I'm so glad you're out of there.'' Gnomeo said.

''It's not over yet Juliet, I need you to tell me everything that happened.'' Mick said.

Juliet told the story. ''So, you see I only did it for my dad and once he was free, I was done.'' Juliet said looking down.

''I see.'' Mick said.

''So, what would the outcome be?'' Asked James.

''Well, she been wanted for a year now and since she has a clean record if she does what they say I'm thinking the most her friends will get is service time and 1 year parole. Juliet with your clean record and the testimony of Gnomeo and James here you will mostly get parole for a year... if you did get any jail time it would only be about 3 months and a year of parole since you were forced into doing it and you have to be honest with them.'' Mick said.

''Who turned me in?'' She asked.

''A pie named Mortimer Gray.'' Mick said.

Gnomeo, James, and Juliet looked at each other and knew who it was.

''So, what's gonna happen with Marcus?" Asked Juliet.

''Well giving this was his plan and he ran it, he will probably get 6 years since he is an outstanding gnome and he has lots of money funding places, but that is it mostly.'' Mick said.

''When are we due in court?'' Asked Juliet.

''Tomorrow morning, I will go down to the courthouse and talk with the judge and then in the afternoon there will be the sentencing.'' Mick said.

''Ok.'' Juliet said looking down.

''We have favor and time on our side Juliet but stay here and don't leave.'' Mick said as he shook Gnomeo's hand and left.

Enjoy!
