Chapter Seven

Today is the day that Joey has to appear in Court. As they got to the Court House, Seto, Joey and Serenity got out. Roland went to park the car and then he and Mokuba would go to the Court Room to wait. Allister was there and he told Joey that the Judge agreed to speak to Serenity in his Chambers. Allister took her there, while Joey and Seto went to the Court Room to wait till Allister came back.

Judge Harold Perkins was in his Chambers when Allister and Serenity were shown in. There also was the Prosecuting Attorney. Judge Perkins asked Serenity "do you know why you're here?"

Serenity looked at the Judge and answered "yes, it's because of what those men did to my brother."

"That's right the Judge said. Can you tell me what happened in your own words?"

"Joey was walking me home from my friends house, because it was getting late. As we approached the alley on the corner of Berkshire and Prince these four men approached us. One of the men started teasing me and Joey told them to leave me alone. That's when it happened."

"What happened?" Allister asked her.

"Joey told me to run away and get help and he started swinging at the men to keep them from grabbing me and one of the men called my brother a queer and he was going to make sure he really knew what the word meant, and he socked Joey in the face and he fell to the ground and then the men started tearing off his clothes and then they" she couldn't go on because she was crying so hard.

The Judge handed her some tissues and he told her "take your time."

Serenity wiped her face and then she started telling them about what happened then "one of the men dropped his pants and they held Joey down and the man shoved his you know into Joeys butt and Joey started screaming for them not to hurt him, that's when I ran and it wasn't until I looked where I was that I noticed I was at the home of Seto Kaiba. I started yelling and jumping around to get his attention he was eating on the balcony and then he saw me and had a man by the name of Roland come and bring me inside where I told him what the men were hurting my brother and he and this man Roland left to go stop it." She looked at the Judge and asked "are those men going to be punished for what they did to my brother?"

The Prosecuting Attorney then stood up and asked her "is your brother gay?"

Serenity looked right at the Attorney and said "are you straight?" This caused both Allister and the Judge chuckle.

Serenity then said "if he is does it give those men the right to hurt my brother? If your sister was walking down the road and some men thought that she looked like she was you know a hooker, would it give those men the right to hurt her?"

The Prosecuting Attorney sat down and didn't answer her. "She asked you a question the Judge said aren't you going to give her an answer?" The Attorney looked at Serenity and said "no it doesn't." Serenity then looked at the Judge and she softly said "I love my brother and I don't care who he is, he is still getting all my love and I will do what ever I have to do to protect him like he would me."

The Judge stood and said "the Bailiff will see you to another room, we have to go to the Court Room and start the proceedings." Serenity was taken back to a room to wait with Mokuba because they were to young to be in Court for this case and Seto and Joey didn't want them there. Roland was with Mokuba and when Serenity saw them she ran to Roland and he held her and Mokuba came over and they all just held onto each other.

The Bailiff said "please stand, the Honorable Judge Harold Perkins will be presiding over this hearing in the Case of Wheeler 'v' Wilson, Prescott and Jefferson. The Judge sat down and told everyone to be seated. "Are the Attorney's for the Case ready?" the Judge asked. Both Attorney's said "we are." The Judge said "will the Defense please begin."

Allister called Joey to the stand. "Please state your full name."

Joey said "Joseph Eugene Wheeler."

"Mr. Wheeler what do you do for a living?" Allister asked him to tell the Court.

"I'm a Senior at Domino High and I work part-time at Smitty's Garage, I'm a mechanic."

"Will you please tell the Court what happened on the day in question." Allister asked Joey.

"I was walking my younger sister home from her girlfriends house because it was getting late. We were walking down the road and when we got to the alley near Berkshire and Prince streets, I noticed four men and they were looking at my sister and I told her to get the hell out of there. One of the men came over and started calling her all sorts of nasty names and I lost it and I hit the man. One of the other men then knew me because he and our late father use to drink together and he started calling me a queer and then he hit me on the side of my head and I fell to the ground, then the same man said if I was going to be a queer then I needed to know how to act like one and they proceeded to strip my cloths off and while three of them held me down the fourth raped me. I started begging for my life and out of the corner of my eye I saw my sister in tears and she ran off. The next thing I remember was waking up in the Hospital and the Doctor's telling me how lucky I was to be alive and my sister and Seto Kaiba there by my bed.

The Prosecuting Attorney then walked up to the stand and asked Joey "isn't it correct that you enticed the men?"

Joey nearly exploded, but got control of his emotions and then he said "Yeah, I wanted to be held down by three men while the fourth rammed his cock up my ass. Who in their right mind would want that done to them? Would you?" Then Joey said "the worst part of all of this was the fact that my kid sister had to witness what those men did to me and that will haunt me for the rest of my life."

The Judge told the Prosecuting Attorney that he was way out of line, and he apologized to the Court. But never did he apologize to Joey. Then each of the men who were being charged with the sexual assualt on Mr. Wheeler was asked to take the stand. As their Attorney asked them "to explain what happened on the day in question, they each told their side of the story and as they talked they each told a different story and in the end they had actually as they say hammered the nails in their coffins. When all the testimony was over, the Judge then made his ruling.

The case took only four hours before the Judge ruled that the three men were guilty for what they did to Mr. Wheeler and he sentenced them all to life in Prison. Joey started to cry and Seto laid his hand on his shoulder and together with Allister they walked out of the Court Room and went to get Mokuba and Serenity, who were with Roland. As the door opened and Joey walked in with a smile on his face, Serenity screamed and ran to him and she jumped into her brother's arms and they fell to the floor. "I love you she kept on saying over and over as she kissed his face." There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Finally Joey got control of the situation and he said "let's get out of here and go home."

Please R&R.
