They were getting ready to go to the court to witness the proceedings and judgment of the mayor.They had had a late breakfast because the time to appear in court was a bit farther away than the normal time Jane was supposed to report to work.At the table, Jane and Jack were discussing what was really going to happen in the courtroom.Jane was a bit nervous that something bad was going to happen, but Jack was certain that it was not going to happen.“ How many years do you think he is going to be served?” Jane asked Jack.“I don't really know that much about law but from the recent news they made about his charges, he had seventeen charges and he was likely to be jailed for a minimum of fifty five years, and now there are two more charges, that means he could go for a minimum of more than sixty years” Jack replied.“ Whoah, I think that is really serious.

A CUFFED MANHoneyMoon Hotel, That same morning.Alfred woke up from his bed with a huge smile on his face after a peaceful sleep.He had never felt comfortable in his entire life before, talking more of having such a good night's rest.Alfred checked the time on the wall clock, and it was already 8am.He stretched lazily as he sat up on the bed, smiling in the process.The sense of being free and being rich at the same time was overwhelming to him.Although his father was able to cater for him and all his expenses, he was not as rich as Alfred wanted him to be.All his life, Alfred moved with rich people like George and Jack, and that made him experience how the life of the rich people was.He just wished his father could be one of those men, but it was just not possible.Because of his constant movement with rich people, his taste for expensive things became insatiable, and he was always not on good terms with his father just because his father could not provide for his needs.Now,

The driver, one of the men sitting in the front seat, and the third policeman sitting right beside him.A lot was going on in Alfred's mind.He knew very well that he had messed up big time.At first, he thought he could just plead with his father for mercy, but from what his father had said to him earlier, he was sure that he was in deep trouble.His father's words kept ringing in his ears like a bell.“..... You can always run, but you are not good enough to hide.I wanted to give you a last chance, but you threw it away in the trash.I know I can no longer trust you again.I knew you to be so many things, but theft was never one of them.Anyways, you remembe

THE DEAD MANThe police stopped abruptly, and the screeching of their car tires could be heard all over the place.The policemen quickly jumped out of their cars and headed towards Alfred.Apparently, when Alfred threw himself out on the road, he sustained serious injuries, but he could not land on the side of the road, but instead, on one lane of the road where a truck was speeding on.The driver applied the brakes, but it was too late.The car dragged Alfred for a distance before it finally came to a stop, and Alfred was already shredded into smithereens, with only a little part of his trunk that was partially intactMr Enzo was right behind in the escort, and he saw what had happened.He stopped his car too and got down from it, in the middle of the road.He ran towards the scene like everybody else.When he reached the scene, the policemen surrounded Alfred so he could not see him.He tried to go in but one of the policemen stopped him.“Let's handle this sir” the policeman sai

A GOOD FRIEND, A GOOD ENEMYGeorge was in his room as usual, with his bottle of Heineken in front of him and packs of cigarettes beside him.Tracy rushed into the room, panting heavily.“ You need to see this, babe,” Tracy said.George seemed not bothered about Tracy's presence and ignored her totally.“ You need to see this, George, it is very serious, it is about Alfred” Tracy said with a serious face.George chuckled.“ Just tell him I don't want to see him, get him out of my house” George replied as he took a puff of the cigarettes and blew it into the air.“ No, he is not here. He is the news, he is dead” Tracy said.George was taking a gulp from his drink, but his hands remained suspended in the air as he turned his head to look at her.“ What did you just say?” George asked with a soft voice“ You heard me right. They are talking about it on the news. He is dead” Tracy said.George looked at Tracy with a straight face.He jumped off and headed out, walking past Tracy hurriedl

TIME FOR VENGEANCEJack and Jane set off on their journey to the courtroom, and they were in a discussion, away from the death of Alfred.“ Have you ever been to court before?” Jack asked Jane with a smile.Jane shook her head in the negative.“ I have never had any reason to go there ever” Jane replied and giggled.“ Well, you don't need to have a problem before you go to the courtroom to witness a proceeding.Sometimes you can go there just so you can learn something from there” Jack replied.“ Hmm, that must be for rich people who might have nothing to do. Living on the streets, every time was an opportunity for you to strive hard to get something for yourself.We mostly\ do not have time for such things. What about you? Have you ever been to the courtroom before?” Jane asked Jack.Jack smiled and nodded.“ Well, yes, I have been to quite a number of court proceedings. The very first day was the day my father had a property litigation issue with an opposing businessm

SEE TO THE BETTER PARTJack drove into the premises of the courtroom.There were cars parked around that were obviously belonging to top profile people.As they drove through the lot, looking for an available space to park, the two were looking around.Some of the policemen had arrived and were securing the police while important men and women of the state were also around, greeting themselves and having conversations amongst themselves.Jack finally found an empty spot and parked.He turned the ignition off and heaved a sigh.“ This case is more serious than I thought,” Jane said as she looked outside.“ Of course, the case is. The man was the Mayor of the state, and that means he was a statesman.I am certain that a lot of other people will show up here sooner or later.” Jack replied.“ I am actually seeing people here that I only see on TV,” Jane said.Jack just smiled and looked around.“ I am sure the man has not been brought in yet and will be brought in later.
