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.

CROSS EXAMINATION“ Court rise!!” The judicial assistant said on top of his voice, and at once, everybody stood up.The door on the judicial assistant’s side opened, and the three judges walked in.“ His Lordship, Judge Jude Allen, his Lordship, Judge Adam Andrews, and his lordship, Judge Almond Richards” the l assistant said as the judges walked in.Every living being in the courtroom had stood up, and the whole place was dead silent, to the extent that only the sound of the footsteps of the judges could be heard.The judges all sat down one after the other.From the way they sat, it was obvious that their leader was the second judge, His lordship, Judge Adam Andrews.Judge Adam was the chairman, and he did all the speaking.“ You may all have your seats….” The judge said, and everybody sat down silently.After they had all sat down, the judge continued.“ What do we have here today?” The Judge asked.The courtroom assistant stood up from his seat and walked forward with a piece of pa

TIME FOR JUDGEMENTAfter twenty minutes of the judges being away, they finally came back in, and the court resumed.Everything was set, and everywhere was quiet.They were all waiting for the judgment that was going to be pronounced.The judges finally settled, and their leader began speaking.“ We are sorry for the short break in the proceedings.We had to decide on suitable punishments and reliefs for both parties.Thus is hereby our judgment…” The judge began to read out their judgment.The whole place was as quiet as a cemetery.It is so quiet that one could hear his or her own heartbeat.Jane was very nervous and had her hand pressing against Jack's hand so hard that one would have thought she wanted to break them.Jack, on the other hand, kept his composure and had smiles playing on the corners of his mouth.The judge continued reading.“ we, the three residing members of the court, have all agreed upon this judgment being delivered today.Before the judgment is read, I would li

TIME TO SAY GOODBYEJack heaved a sigh as he was finally able to get on the highway, away from the curious media men and women.Jane also heaved a sigh as she finally put on her seatbelt.“ Phew..” Jack exclaimed“ That was a close one,” he added.“ I guess so. I seem to now understand why it is not that good to be famous. You can't even have breathing space now” Jane said.“ Well, you can't help it. You are famous now, so expect this more often” Jack said.Jane's facial expression changed at once.“ You mean I am going to encounter this every day when I go out?” She asked with surprise.“ Apparently, yes. You have now become a media sensation, the lady whose mother was murdered by the Mayor. That is how it is like, be ready to experience this more often” Jack said.“ Oh no, I don't think I can cope with this. I think I have to be secretive then” Jane said.“ Well, it all depends on you, but on a more serious note, how did you see the judgment?” Jack asked her, trying to put away th

Besides, the day is already far away, " Jack said.Jane looked at him silently and nodded without saying a word.“ What is the time now?” Jane finally asked.Jack took a quick glance at Jane and smiled.“ A few inches away from 12 pm.” He repliedJane only nodded silently.Jack smiled, and continued driving as they headed home.The journey back home was a very quiet one as Jane was very moody, and Jack did not want to bother her, so he also remained quiet throughout the whole journey back home.When they got home, the sun was shining high above the sky, and the radiation was at its peak because it was already 12 pm.Jane got down from the car, and without a word, she headed for the

AFTER THE SENTENCEAfter the audio ended, everywhere in the room went quiet.Jack had a wide smile on his lips.Alfred looked shocked as he gave Jack a deadly stare. He knew he was not in a position to say anything at that point, and whatever he said at that time would not be considered.The judge went on to speak.“ We have heard your piece of evidence counsel, however, I don't think it is going to alter our judgment today looking at the fact the accused have already pleaded guilty to all the accusations levelled against them, and the details of the audio happen to be one of them.However, his property will be confiscated and handed over to the state, who will decide what to do. Now, before we pronounce judgment, does anyone have anything to say?” the judge repeated his earlier question.The whole room went silent for a while until the judge spoke again.“ Okay, after reviewing all the evidence provided, and listening to the accused and their statements, here is the court's ruling Fo

Alfred slowly directed his cuffed hands to the car door.He heaved a heavy sigh, pushed the locker to open the door, and dived out of the car in a split second.Everything happened so fast that he did not have time to think of what to do next.The moment he fell out of the car, he could feel pain in his whole body, and within another split second, he saw a car coming towards him at top speed.Alfred screamed out his lungs loudly in fear as if his shouts were going to stop the car from coming towards “ NOOOOOO” He could hear the car tyres screeching loudly on the road, but it was useless; the car was already close, and he had no time to run.Apparently, when Alfred threw himself out on the road, he sustained serious injuries, but he co

He handed it over to Newman, but to his surprise, Newman did not throw it nor activate it, instead, he buckled it on his belt.“ Guys, we have twenty-five minutes on the clock.” Max's voice came in on the line.“Okay, Roger that” Emry was also heard on the line.Neither Jack nor Newman spoke.Newman turned and whispered at Jack.“ Masks on now.

BORN READY: TIME FOR ACTIONJack opened his eyes slowly to the morning sunlight.He looked beside him and realized that Jane was lying beside him.That meant he had slept more than usual.He stretched lazily on the bed and sat up.Picking up his phone, he realized that it was already 7 am.He stood up, and without going to the bathroom, he quickly walked out of his room.He met Jane at the door.“ Oh, you are awake. I was just about to come call you for breakfast” Jane said.Jack nodded.“ Good morning “ he greeted Jane.“ Good morning.
