"Sarah Baker, Jake Baker, why did you go into the "Golds and more" shop," a policeman asked strictly.
" Dude we didn't mean to steal in a bad way IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm a ggggggood boy," Jake said trying to fight back his tears.
" What is the reason," the second policeman asked harshly.
" We we we ummm,
" We made a bet at school," Sarah finished.
" That is no excuse for stealing you two," the first policeman said, glaring at Sarah and Jake.
" Do you think they'll be in the same cell?" the second policemen asked.
" You mean were going to JAIL?" Sarah and Jake asked in unison.
" I'm not saying you are officially going but there is a good chance, in the car you rascals - NOW".
Sarah and Jake walked unsteadily to the car - their hands gripped in the policemen's arms.
Sarah and Jake were now sitting in the cold police car. Their mum and dad had been called and were meeting them at court. Tears were streaming down Sarah's face and Jake was trying to fight back his tears. They passed by their school, their friends, parks - it could be the last time they would ever see them for a while. Jake and Sarah were doomed.
When they did finally arrive, reporters and photographers were right outside.
" Sarah and Jake, how come you stole in the shop?" the lady with the big hair asked.
" Sarah and Jake do you know you are the 16th kids to steal in Midland"
" Sarah and Jake do you know you could be facing years in prison?"
The news reporters kept asking questions and questions and questions!
" Out of the way," The policemen screamed. They then held Jake and Sarah and took them into court.
Inside court Mrs. Langer was the prosecutor. Sarah and Jake were going to be the defence. Mrs. Baker ran up to Sarah and Jake - tears pouring down her face.
" How could you do such a thing," Mrs. Baker cried.
" We regret it, a lot, I wish this was all a dream!" Sarah cried.
" Jake," Mr. Baker said softly, to upset to speak.
" How could you, how could you do such a thing! You're my son, I thought you were a good boy, why did you do this?".
Jake just stared back into his father's deep blue eyes. His father stared into Jake's eyes, looking for an answer. Seconds later, A big policeman swooped both kids away and took them to the front.
"Order in the court," the judge said loudly, she looked very experienced so maybe she would understand Sarah and Jake's story.
"Mrs Langer could you please say your part of the story," the judge asked politely.
" Those two, CHILDREN, were in my shop. Jake was talking to me while Sarah was taking the gold. I caught her when I saw the gold spilling out of her pocket. Jake was just talking to me because he wanted to distract me."
The audience gasped. Their was lots of talking going on now because many people were shocked. Sarah turned around to look at her parents. Her mum's face was down, crying on her lap, while her dad stared and Sarah and shook his head disappointingly.
" That's enough!" the judge said.
" Sarah Alice Baker ( Alice was her middle name) would you care to say your part of the story?". Sarah stood up. She gulped and looked at Jake for support. Jake had none. She saw some of her brothers and sisters. She porbably wouldn't see them for a while. There was Lorraine, look at her1 She's doing her nails! Typical Lorraine. Why had she fought with her so much? Their was Kim and Jessica, they were always such fun as well.
" Sarah would you care to say your part of the story," the judge asked.
" We made a bet at school, and we lost it. We had to give he person a lot of money and Jake and I couldn't afford it! The only way we could pay it off was to steal. We really aren't bad people, were normal kids!".
" Their theives!" Mrs. Langer got up and screamed.
" That's enough Mrs. Langer," the judge said.
" Sarah Alice Baker, Jake Henry Baker, this man has some questions for you," the judge said. The man was very tall and he had a mean look in his eye. He looks like the type of person that hates kids, he was glaring at Lorraine when she was painting her nails.
" Did you tell your parents before you stole," he asked Jake.
" No," he said quietly.
" Did you steal over $300?".
" Yes," Sarah replied, even more quietly.
" The jury will now give their response about what your punishments must be," the judge said. This was the scariest thing that ever happened to them. What would their punishment be? It was to scary to think. Jake clutched Sarah's hand tightly.
" Whatever happens, Sarah, I just want you to know that you're the best friend I ever had," Jake said, eyes filled with tears.
" You're the beast brother and friend," Sarah added. They gave each other a hug.
" Sarah and Jake your punishment is…"
