I really appreciate the reviews, guys.
Chapter 6: Bae Oh
6. JURY DUTY!
I, Sinead, and Alistair arrived at the court, sitting at the front of the room. Actually, Ted and Ned were there too, just right behind us. The triplets were in their usually preppy-geeky look, and somehow they'd convinced me to wear a sweater with a plaid skirt. Gosh.
Everyone turned as Bae was brought into the room and seated at that seat-thingy next to the judge. The judge coughed and began.
"Today we are here for the judgment of Bae Oh, who has many charges against him. Here to issue the charges is-"
I stood up before Allistair could and smiled at Sinead, who smirked.
"Keegan Katerson, sir." I said, flipping my hair casually.
The judge frowned.
"You seem too young to be doing this."
"No worries. I graduated from Harvard last year." I said with a straight face.
The judge sighed, and then gestured for me to begin. I cleared my throat.
"Bae Oh, we the jury and other people charge you for the murder 60 years ago of Gordon Oh, your twin brother. Also, you are on trial for dealing with illegal substances, shipping illegal items, attempting and succeeding in murdering several other unidentifiable people, and assault and battery to your nephew."
The judge began to speak again, but I continued.
"We the jury also claim that you are guilty of playing with rubber duckies in the bathtub, not owning an iPod, not wearing something other than that weird old-man suit, being too old for crime, being a bad leder, and for not having enough hair on your head."
Bae stared at me, bewildered.
"You are charged for not giving me a cool Ekat weapon that time in Cairo, for not giving your rich-ish nephew cash, for not ever eating one of your nephew's microwavable burritos, for not working out more, for not retiring like a normal really old man, for having perfect eyesight even though you are incredibly old, for making your mother's ghost disappointed in you by committing all these crimes, and for getting yourself charged in court, I mean what were you thinking?" I concluded.
Everyone seemed amused now, and the jury stood up and nodded at me.
"We, the jury, find the really old dude, GUILTY!" I say cheerfully.
"I'm not that old!" Bae yells before being escorted out the room.
The judge speaks.
"I sentence Bae Oh to spend the rest of his life in prison! Which, considering how old he is, isn't incredibly long."
"I'M NOT THAT OLD!" his voice comes from outside.
Alistair pats me on the back.
"Good job, Keegan."
Sinead and her brothers grin at me.
"I was trying not to laugh really hard, but I almost failed." Sinead says.
The judge comes up and shakes my hand.
"My name is Judge Robert Smith. Excellent…uh, work there, young lady. You should…definitely consider a future as a lawyer. Or a comedian."
Ted and Ned widen their eyes, hearing his name, and run to the limo.
Alistair brings Sinead and I to the limo and we all cruise along the street, hearing Bae Oh in the distance yell about how he's not THAT OLD.
"Face it, he's like 80." Ted says out loud, smirking.
"Are you sure it isn't 90?" Ned asks back.
"I'll bet he's 100!" I conclude, sending everyone into a fit of chuckling.
Thank you;
fanCLUbofme for the idea about Ted and Ned freaking out at a guy from the trial
