A draft for Ranier

“In light of all that has been said and shown, I grant this man custody of his younger brother. As court ordered, the plaintiffs must complete five hundred hours of community service.” Murmurs filled the room as both the defendants and plaintiffs stood in front of the judge made his ruling.

“You judge are a disgrace to your profession!” The voice could only belong to Mary. Ranier didn’t have to look back to know. He and Dante were thrilled on many levels. If it didn’t have to come to this, that would have been better. The elder brother looked over at the parents they once had lived with. It wasn’t the same anymore. As it would seem, their parents had gotten deeper into their beliefs.

~The next day~

Ranier was at his desk with King across from him. They were expecting someone, another cop from another town on the other side of the country. He was there to help on a case he had been involved in for the last ten years. “Where is this guy at?” King asked, his voice indicated that he was irritated.

“Irritated, are we?” a male voice replied. The voice belonged to one Braden Turner. Ranier laughed when King fell out of his chair. Sometimes, King was a hoot or easy to tease. “Is he always like this?”

“No, he’s not. You caught him off guard.” Ranier settled down after a bit.
