At the Police Station.
"Point me to the commissioner's office."
Max stomped into the office with a stern face, voice high and his pace swift. Dre was trying to catch up to him as he finally stopped before a cop who looked up from the file on his table,
"What's this about?"
"You don't want to know. Just point me to the commissioner or you would regret it for the rest of your life."
The cop stood up raged to match up the face of Max. He shot, his jaws stiffening,
"Are you threatening a police officer? Do you know what offense you're commiting?!"
"Perhaps after I've bruised your nose with punches, we'll have a real case to solve."
He grabbed the collar of the cop and pulled closer at the end of his table, meaning to drag him over the table to his side. Dre came to the aid and hit his hand off,
"What's wrong with you Max? You can't have no response this way."
Max let go and walked o
I'm scared of Max turning into evil like Rowe. I hope the evil force wouldn't overshadow him.
King County District Courtroom. Seattle."Arise, Court."The clerk called and all those in the court, in reverence stood up. Though it had taken like forever before the judge arrived, but at last she did. It seemed all fishy, because as soon as the judge entered, then did Rowe enter through the aisle between the two rows of benches.Everybody sat down as the judge held one of his hands up. The two rows of benches were politicized. The first row by the right belonged to everyone who was supporting Dia who were quite few. While the second row belonged to the party of Rowe and few people he had bought to heighten the atmosphere.But what was quite fair enough was that, the Plaintiff's table had the Prosecuting attorney and the group of Rowe's people behind, while the defendant's table had the defense attorney and the people supporting behind.With the Prosecuting attorney was Rowe who was serving as the plaintiff. While
Court."At 11am today, Sunday, April 22nd, 2021. We proceed with the case of Breach Of Promise Of Marriage between the family of Rowe and Dia Roshwella."The court reporter called and sat."Why the fuck does this prick keep saying 'the family' of Rowe? We ain't no fucking family."Max cussed softly, sure to keep it between himself and those who were seated beside him. He was quite glad that day, that he wasn't pigeonholed between Albert and Claire again. He was seated next to Lancy, at the beginning of the bench. The first person on the bench.He looked to his back slightly and caught the heavy glaze of Maria, Dia's surrogate mother eating at him. He smiled at her thinking of what the problem was. But then he remembered what he had said earlier. He looked away from her; knocked out of the present state by the voice of the Judge,"A meeting with the Jury brings up the need for this house to request the p
Court."I'm in the court right now."Rowe's husky voice spread across the room, at least up to an extent where he could be heard by his ex wife and ex children. He was used to noise, he didn't really know how to speak in a small voice. Made him uncomfortable."Bet you're not wasting my time with that creepy voice of yours."He stood up from the Plaintiff block and walked off it to the public door. He walked through the aisle not giving an eye to any of his ex family. He had the luxury of just few minutes before the judge would walk in.He walked out of the Court and stood at the front. He saw the Judge walking in another direction towards the entrance she ought to take; the backdoor."Speak to me. The Judge just arrived."He listened for a while, his phone pressed to his ear. Then he yelled,"What Cargo? What shipment? Are you fucking with me right now?"The voice coming over the phon
Few days later."How much is the bail?"Lancy asked, staring at the officer who obviously was calculating. He had looked her from the head to the toe to figure out what she was worth. She was also ready for him. Some corrupt officers."Based on the situation of the case, we should let her go freely. Since the Plaintiff and the Prosecuting attorney couldn't defend their stances. Therefore, since nothing was held against her, it turned out an in-house unanimous judgement. So we would --""Are you saying the bail is free? She must be weary by now. I don't have a time for the stories please."Lancy's impatient voice fueled the rage on her face. She tried to tame it as the officer smiled at her,"You can go. The bail is free. Take her only, the other man is to serve terms and could be bailed several days after."Lancy sighed and brought out her purse. She counted five $1000 bills and handed it to the officer. 
In a Plane."Are you fine?"Lancy was looking at the side of Dia's face. The latter was looking through the window as though no one was seated beside her. It could only mean one thing; she had been swallowed by her thoughts."Dia?"She touched her gently, shaking her arm. Dia looked at her,"Sorry. What did you say?""Is it Grandma? If you have a change of mind we could always go back. I thought leaving Seattle was all that you wanted."Dia looked to the front. One of the flight attendants, the one who had helped her with her luggage just walked past. She didn't know why she felt drawn to the lady. She ignored the urge and looked back at Lancy."Don't be ridiculous. This isn't a car or bus where you can jump on and off."Lancy smiled then said,"Of course, but we can stop at the nearest airport and find another flight back to Seattle.Though it might take time."Dia turne
Wisconsin."Aren't you going for no show? It's been weeks now you've been at home?"At the question, Lancy turned to her in the couch, shooting the contemptuous gaze,"Are you sick of me and want to get rid of me?"Dia chuckled, eating from the pint of popcorn."If you were told this, wouldn't you smack the person? How would I possibly want to get rid of you or is it vice versa?"Lancy shook her head and rolled her eyes,"You sure know how to play around words."Dia sniggered then concentrated on the Netflix series on the plasma TV. They were watching a Korean TV program; The King: Eternal Monarch.Then Dia said,"But seriously, Wisconsin seemed not have gotten enough of you yet. At least I know that there are shows you have. Why didn't you want to go? Speaking of the money."Lancy moved closer to her on the couch. She put her palm on Dia's stomach which had swelled, the
Dia and Lancy. After 8 months."See what's out today?"Lancy's voice came as soon as she closed the door. Her baggy long coat with fur lacing its neck had white substances all over it. Dia didn't want to guess wrongly. She asked instead."Welcome, love. What?"Lancy had two bags drawn in her hands and hurried to where Dia was in the living room. She dropped the bags and stretched out her hand before Dia."What?"Dia hesitated firstly but then grabbed her hand. Lancy bent over her to help her up as Dia grunted. Her stomach was now protruding, ready for delivery.They both walked gradually to the window as Lancy fiddled with the window pane. She revealed the dances of snow fluttering like the leaves of trees."Woah."Dia gasped. Lancy pecked her on the cheek and nodded her head. She muttered,"I know right. It's the first snow in this winter. I feel like there is something
Several months later. A Procession. Wisconsin."Rather majestical."A man dressed in black suit, white shirt and blue tie nudged at his counterpart sitting next to him, to whom he has addressed the speech. The other fellow shot him a rather ambiguous stare, feigning a borrowed smile then looked away past the sway of the heads to the front of the congregation where the Priest and the groom, next to him were standing.Twas a wedding procession, time had been quite quick and hastening. The chariot of time had filled the atmosphere with its neighs and grunts. And fate had just few parts played.Dia had raised her child independently, of course with the help of Lancy and with her child now 6 months old, she could go around for a while, leaving her child with an aupair who claimed to be the cousin of Lancy. Well, Lancy hadn't said otherwise.Lancy had been as supportive as ever but she had been more at the Outlook of
