Truth

Chapter 7: Yukoto?

Later that night there was a knock on Rebecca's door. The 18 year old was still sobbing, she just wanted to grab the cell keys and let Billy out so they could run away together. But there was no possibility, Billy was going to die and there was nothing she could about it. Rebecca looked up at her clock, then her door opened and in came Jill.

"Rebecca honey…it's me Jill" Jill looked at Rebecca and she could tell Rebecca had been crying for hours, her eyes were red and puffy. "Why Jill?…why him?"

Jill came to sit next to Rebecca "I know he's innocent I know…" Rebecca said still crying, then Jill surprised her "I believe you Rebecca" Rebecca looked at Jill stunned "What? You do? Really?" Jill nodded "Yes the way he was with you, he doesn't look like a murderer to me and something in my heart also tells me Billy's innocent" Rebecca stood up quickly "Then help me set him free, the officers will listen to you, they always listen to you" Jill sighed slowly "I'm sorry Rebecca but I can't. He known as a guilty man and the officers won't even listen to me for this one. Even he said nothing can be done about it."

Rebecca began to cry again "But! He can't die Jill! I love him!" Jill stood up and gave Rebecca a hug "Rebecca…" "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR DOING THIS!! NEVER!!" Rebecca yelled.

Jill decided to stay with Rebecca for the rest of the night, she was in so much of a state Jill just couldn't possibility leave her. It took Jill a few hours to get Rebecca to sleep. But she finally did get to sleep and dreamed a nightmare…

Morning finally came and Rebecca woke up hoping that all that happened was a dream and that Billy was safe somewhere and nobody was going to bring him harm. But her desire broke as she saw Jill asleep on her couch. A horrible thought kept ringing in Rebecca's head "Billy's going to die today…today is it"

Jill's eyes opened as she heard footsteps she saw Rebecca about to walk out the door then Jill sat up "Rebecca?" Rebecca turned around "Oh Jill…good morning" Jill got up and stretched "Do you feel better now" Rebecca shook her head "I…don't think I'll ever be the same again" These words concerned Jill. Why couldn't everything be the same as it used to be? Where Rebecca would laugh and joke around with the others? The happy cheerful Rebecca that everyone misses. Of course Jill didn't blame Billy for all of this. All he wanted was to love Rebecca and to be with her. Jill and Rebecca walked down stairs. The other officers were already down stairs. Chris got up as soon as he saw Rebecca. "Rebecca…I'm sorry we don't mean to hurt you but…" Rebecca just walked past Chris "Please don't talk to me right now…I'm not in the mood"

2 hours later

Rebecca sat there. She hugged her pillow close to her, she pretended it was Billy. She's completely lost hope in saving Billy now. Rebecca put her pillow down and walked downstairs, then she saw a girl walking up to the main desk. The chief leaned forward "Yes may we help you?"

The girl looked up "My name is Yukoto and I've come to explain…Bring the truth to you of what really happened in the Bullet Disaster" Rebecca looked shocked, was this proof of Billy's innocence? The chief pointed at the chair "Well then pleased take a seat and explain your story" Yukoto sat down and looked at Rebecca, she smiled at her then looked at the Chief "Well I heard on the news you arrested Mr.Coen for murdering the people of my village when he was the only one who saved me and how wrong you all are". The chief leaned back and Chris and Jill and Barry sat by Rebecca to hear the story also. Rebecca just hoped it was enough to set Billy free. "Please explain Yukoto" The chief said. Yukoto nodded "It was about a about ago…in my village"

Flashback one year ago

Children was playing in the village, enjoying there life in the village. The parents would prepare food and the elder would play the sweet songs of Africa with there flutes. Everything was perfect, nobody could disagree. But it all was washed away when the solders came and destroyed everything.

The commander looked at the village in disgust "What?…this is it? DAMN IT! They've got it all wrong!" One of the solders looked at his commander "What do we do sir?" The commander shook his head and loaded his gun "We can't go back emptied handed…Kill them all!" Lieutenant Billy Coen stepped forward "NO SIR DON'T!" The commander turned to Billy "Shut up Coen! Your in no position to order me around" Billy moved the arm of the Commander, the one which he was going to shoot with "No! I won't let you!" The Commander gave Billy a surprising attack by smacking his gun against Billy's head.

Billy fell to the ground, his head started throbbing and he could hear gunshots and people screaming. Weak on the ground Billy managed to look up and saw the village people dying "No!…Stop!" He felt hopeless but then he heard a crying child, Billy turned his head and saw a little girl hiding, she looked so frightened, Billy immediately put his arms out and held the girl "Shhhhh don't worry I'm going to get you out of here" He tried to hide the girl but couldn't so he ran for it, leaving behind the burned village.

The Commander turned around and saw Billy running away with a girl "COEN!…SHOOT THAT TRAITOR" Billy's fellow solders began shooting at him. Billy noticed this and ran faster he felt he needed to save this child. Billy managed to find the helicopter which they landed in. Billy opened the door and put the girl down and he crawl on the fall holding his head the little girl crawled up to him.

"Are you alright Sir?" Billy looked up his head was bleeding, blood coming down his face "you saved me mister your not like them…I'm Yukoto" Billy nodded and smiled he found a medic-pack and cleared his own wound, then got up. "Look I feel terrible for what my other solders did to your family…but your safe now" Yukoto looked down she seemed sad at the loss of her family. Billy flew the helicopter and they arrived in America four hours later. "What's going to happen to me mister?" Yukoto asked Billy he picked her up and carried her to a center where people would look after her "Here Yukoto…your new home be good ok?" he patted Yukoto on the head.

"I never got your name Mister" Billy turned and smiled and put something in her hand and made it close. "This will tell you". Then out of nowhere police came speeding on there cars they got out "Billy Coen your under arrest!" Yukoto looked shocked she tried to stop the police "No Stop! He didn't do anything"…

End flashback

"They wouldn't let me explain, they took Mr.Coen away when he didn't do anything wrong!" Yukoto looked at the chief firm in the eyes "That is the true story of the Bullet Disaster…you are looking at the only survivor" Everyone looked very stunned but the chief was still not believing it. "Where's your proof that your story is real?"

Yukoto held something in her hand "This is very precious to me" She shown them it was a silver bracelet with the name Billy Coen engraved on it. The chief looked away shocked "We've made a Terrible, terrible mistake …Get that poor man out of that cell" Rebecca literally screamed for joy. They were going to let Billy out!.

Meanwhile…

"Coen it's time" Billy gulped, he was frightened. The officers escorted him to the execution room where a noose was waiting for him. They made him stand on an movable floor and put the noose around his neck and tied his hands together. Billy began breathing heavy, his death was only seconds away, he couldn't stop thinking about Rebecca. He clutched his eyes shut. Suddenly…

"STOP! Release that man!" the Chief said as he burst through the door. Billy immediately opened his eyes did they just say release him? The officer questions him "Chief?" the Chief stepped forward " Get him down from there and untie him" The officers hesitated "That's an order!" The officers untied Billy and moved the noose from his neck. Billy backed into the wall he was so confused, so many questions was running in his head. "How?…what?…why?"

Then a familiar girl walked in and smiled "Good to see you again Mr.Coen" "It's you!" Billy whispered his head turned as soon as he saw Rebecca run in "Billy!" Billy rushed towards her "Rebecca!". Rebecca leap into his arms and he held her tight "Billy! I'm so happy! I'm so glad your safe!" Rebecca said to Billy. "Oh Rebecca I love you so much! I'll never let you go!" Billy replied. Rebecca looked at Yukoto , who was smiling at them.

"Thank you so much Yukoto…I would of lost Billy if it wasn't for you!" Yukoto nodded and smiled "I couldn't bear to see Mr.Coen get killed for nothing" The other S.T.A.R.S officers ran in, Jill sighed in relief "I'm glad your ok Billy. I had a feeling you were innocent" Billy smiled and held Rebecca closer to him, the love of his life.

After getting out the execution room. Rebecca hugged Jill "Thank you for believing us Jill" Jill smiled "Well Rebecca, I trust you and you trust him and any friend of yours is a friend of mine". The Chief walked up to Billy, he seemed very guilty "Billy Coen by the name of S.T.A.R.S I apologize for putting you in such trouble" Rebecca was outraged! All they could say was sorry?. "SORRY?! All you can say is sorry? Billy's been through so much and all you can say is Sorry!!" A officer tried to hush Rebecca "Quiet!" Then the Chief spoke again "No! she's right what we did to this poor man has given S.T.A.R.S a very bad name".

The Chief stood up straight in front of Billy "Billy Coen I offer you to work for S.T.A.R.S and become Officer Coen and be Officer Chambers partner" Billy was very stunned "Wow…I mean wow!" First he was a criminal now he was going to be an Officer. Rebecca grabbed his arm "So Billy what do you say? Wanna be my partner?" Billy turned to his beloved and bowed and kissed Rebecca's hand "It would be my honor Rebecca" The Chief saluted to Billy "It's my honor to welcome you to S.T.A.R.S Officer Coen"

Chris and Jill then Barry saluted also, Billy couldn't believe what was happening to him was he dreaming? Or did his luck just suddenly change?. He didn't know and he didn't care. Billy looked at Rebecca, that's when he couldn't help himself. He grabbed Rebecca and kissed her desperately, at first Rebecca froze. Everyone was watching them! But she soon closed her eyes and return his kiss and let him deepen it. Seconds later Billy pulled away and stared straight into Rebecca's eyes "I love you so much Rebecca" Rebecca felt like crying, not through sadness, but through happiness "I love you too Billy" Rebecca whispered.

Jill put her arm around Chris she felt so happy for them. Yukoto began to walk away, Billy called after her "Yukoto!" She turned around "I own you everything…if there anything I can do then…" Yukoto interrupted him "No Mr.Coen you've already saved my life and brought me a new home, a new family, a second chance at life. There's nothing more you can do". Billy smiled at her "I'll never forget you Yukoto, you will always be known as my little savoir in my heart" He placed his hand over his chest where his heart was. Yukoto turned around "Farewell Mr.Coen, Miss Chambers I hope all works well for you two". Rebecca waved "GoodbyeYukoto" "Don't worry about us, everything will be fine now". Billy said andYukoto smiled and walked away and left the building. Billy looked at Rebecca she stared back and they held hands. Life was going to be perfect now and it was just waiting for them.
