For about 10 minutes of the drive, Eddie sat in silence, glaring at his former mentor. The silence is...prolonged, and awkward as the two make their way out of the Jungle District in the artificial rain.
Nick sighed. He was...going to have to breech this subject eventually he supposed. "So...I have uh. I have some good news for you."
"You're pulling over and letting me out of this police car?" Eddie's voice is more than a little annoyed.
"No uh...well, I pulled some strings with help from Carrots-"
"Carrots is the cop who blackmailed you into risking your life and then told the entire city that the nighthowler bull was genetic? Just making sure I'm not mixing up which one of your jackas-"
"Language! And yes, that's the same rabbit. Judy, you...clearly remember her. But yeah she...helped me arrange..." Ok time to rip the bandaid off he's gonna be mad either way. "Uh. Well. She helped me get legal guardianship of you."
"...And that means..."
"...Legally I'm your dad now"
"WHAT THE FU-"
"Language!"
"So you just friggin went behind my back an-"
"And made sure you'd have a roof over your head and wouldn't be sleeping on the streets anymore? Yeah, Eddie, I did that."
