After me and axel felt that we had safely evaded Becky, he started looking , around the warehouse. He picked up a few things, touched a few others, and generally he seemed interested. Usually I keep spare explosive supplies in here, but I also keep an assortment of historical torture devices.
"What's this?" Axel asked, picking up a small device.
"That's called the pear." I said, and then whispered its purpose in his ear. He seemed to find that rather gruesome, mainly because it is a very painful torture device. Eventually we went back to the house, but Becky was waiting at the door.
"I don't want him in my house" she said.
"It's actually MY house, and I say he can come in." I told her, matter of factly. She was about to say something but decided against it and went back inside.
Me and axel sat around and watched tv for a while, mostly old movies and such. Though we occasionally watched cartoons.
"I always used to love this movie." He said while we were watching the original Frankenstein movie.
"You know what would make this movie better?" I asked him. I knew he would never guess the answer.
"Bread" he said... I stand corrected.
"How did you know I was going to say that?" I asked him.
"I have a bit of a bread addiction" he told me. Axel is fucking awesome, just, fucking, awesome. I grabbed my bread from the breadbox and took it out there. Me and axel relaxed and ate bread for most of the evening, it was actually really fun.
The next day something strange happened. At about noon, someone knocked on the door. I was about to open it, but Anne just came in anyways. She took one look at axel and stopped in her tracks.
"Wha... How did he..." Then she ran back outside, bolting down the street.
"Yet one more person that hates me." He sighed. I was starting to get annoyed by all these people. We sat back down for an hour or two, then something happened.
My door got kicked down, by a s.w.a.t. team. Probably the third weirdest thing that's happened to me... This week...
"Markus J. Axel, you are under arrest!" The leader shouted, pointing a gun at him.
"And you, Patrick E. Webb, are under arrest for harboring a criminal" he continued. Somehow I should have expected this. Blaziken and Helios burst in with their wrists on fire, this could end badly.
"Blaziken, Helios. Stand down, we're fine." I told them. The went back to their room and shut the door. After that we were led to the police station in handcuffs. We were taken inside an interrogation room and left there in silence for a while, I'm not sue how long though. Eventually commissioner Gordon came in and sat down at the opposite end of the table.
"Patrick. I never would have thought that you would do something like this..." He said, a hint of sadness creeping into his voice.
"Gordon, hear me out. You need to know what happened." I pleaded with him. If he didn't let me explain, then I could end up in jail.
"It doesn't matter what you say Patrick. You and him are going to jail. That's the end of it" he said, crushing whatever hopes I had for freedom.
"Sir, please at least hear what he has to say. Isn't it your job to get all the facts?" Axel also pleading. He stuck up for me at least. It probably wouldnt do any good.
"We don't have time for this, take them away" a man said from the doorway. With that we were led away. We were taken to the county prison, after being searched and given uniforms, we were placed in a cell.
"I'm sorry for this. I never meant you any harm" axel said.
"We'll be fine, I'm sure somehow we can get out of this." I told him. But in all honesty, I had no idea what we were gonna do. We sat around for a while, mostly using a rock to play tic-tac-toe on the wall. I had won six games and he had won eight before I decided to do something else. So we engaged in conversation for a while, then I remembered something.
"Your first name is markus?" I asked him. He sighed and said
"Yeah. It's the name my mother gave me, but I don't use it very often." So we sat around in silence for a while longer, just doing nothing, we probably would have stayed that way, but then our cell opened and a guard shoved us out into the visitors room. We were sat down at a table, and at that table was Becky.
"What did you two retards do" she said in barely contained rage.
"He's under arrest for being a criminal, and I'm under arrest for harboring him." I told her. She was about three second from leaping across the table and choking axel to death. Then she stood up and walked out, and we were taken back to our cell.
After a week of total boredom, we got taken to a court where we had to present our case.
"And on the charges of grand theft auto, theft, armed robbery, arson, embezzlement, extortion, forgery, piracy, fraud, and evading arrest, how do you plea?" The judge asked axel, he was about to say guilty when I spoke up.
"Not guilty" I told the judge.
"Very we'll then, present your case." The judge said. I went on to tell the whole story about how I had woken up in the house and how axel had ruined my eye. I told them about how I had removed the haunter from his body. I told them about how the haunter had been responsible for his crimes.
"Can anyone verify these claims?" The judge asked.
"I can. I was there for the whole thing" Becky said. The judge seemed to look her over for a minute, then asked
"Is there an official that can vouch for these three?" At first nobody said or did anything. But then at the last second, Gordon stood up.
"I will vouch for them. I've known Patrick for years, and I can assure you, he's telling the truth. I'd bet my life on it." He said. Commissioner Gordon always came through for me. But I wasn't sure this would be enough, even from him
"Very well. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you may remove to your chamber to deliberate. We shall resume in one hour" after that we all waited around for an hour. I made a few jokes to try and lighten the mood, but it was too serious a situation. Finally the jury came back out and sat down.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, how do you find the defendants?" The judge asked. Me, axel and Becky were sitting with our fingers crossed.
"Your honor. We the jury." The main person said. He said it really slow, as if this were some kind of tv show. But I'm sure the video cameras surrounding the room were completely unrelated.
"Find the defendants" she said, still speaking as slow as fuck. I was really tempted to stand up and shout "get on with it!" but that wouldn't go over well for us.
"Not guilty on the grounds of possession" she finished. I wasn't entirely sure how to react, so I decided to wing it.
"FREEDOM!!!" I shouted, then, with everyone in the courtroom staring at me, I sat back down.

-I was half temped to end in a cliffhanger right before they announced the judgement. But I thought that was too cruel.
