A Plague Upon Your Family zf-2
Page 31
The judge had my record in front of him and he wasn’t impressed.
“Mr. Talbot, I have thought long and hard about what I should do with you.” I kept silent, it seemed the better part of valor. “You have a decent high school record. You are in college. You work, which a lot of kids your age choose not to do. But you have this streak that runs through you, Mr. Talbot. Something which I feel if it is not reigned in will lead to an untimely demise for you. I am going to give you an option Mr. Talbot, it might not be the easy route, in fact, I’m hoping that it isn’t. But it just might be what you need. The court recommends 24 months of jail at the Dedham correctional facility followed by 36 months of probation.”
My heart dropped. Jail? That was my option?
“Or.”
I seized ‘Or’ like a drowning man seizes a life jacket.
“Five years active duty in the United States Marine Corps. Which is it Mr. Talbot.”
“Semper fi, your honor.”
“I had hoped so. Good luck young man.” The gavel crashed down. “Court is adjourned. The judge actually came down and shook my hand, I was in a mild state of shock, but it wasn’t jail.
Talbot - 2, Cops – 4, Marine Corps - 1
