Truth and lies
Master Yo talked with a police officer about Mr. Rees. Meanwhile Yin talked with her brother.
,,I can`t believe I trusted that guy, I`m an idiot.", she looked at the floor sadly.
,,Oh, it`s not your fault, it`s mine.", he looked now sad, too.
,,Huh? I don`t get it. I`m the one who trusted him, not you."
,,Yes, because of this: I never told you the truth and you, you almost-"
Yin placed her finger on his mouth ,,I don`t wanna hear another word about it, please." She smiled.
,,O.k., but it`s still my fault."
,,No it`s Mr. Rees` fault, not your`s."
,,Hm, you`re probably right..."
Yin then hugged her brother. ,,I will never go away again. I promise."
Yang hugged his sister as well ,,I hope so."
Master Yo came. Mr. Rees went away with the officer.
,,Uh... Master Yo where is the rat going?", Yang asked.
,,He`s going to call his agent."
,,Filthy rat, can`t even defent himself alone.", Yang then said.
Yin now said something ,,Yang, it`s usual that you let your agent do the dirty work."
He groaned.
,,So, let us go home. I bet you want us tell a lot, Yin.", Master Yo said.
Yin nodded and then they went to dojo. At home the girl told them how Mr. Rees had treated her. ,,... and you already know the rest." she finished.
,,Wow, that guy is so, so-", Yang said angry.
,,I know, I know, see because of this I shouldn`t have trusted him."
,,You are bit like Mom."
,,Mom?"
,,Yes, she also saw the good thing in people, not their bad sides, like you."
,,I don`t think that. If I`d really be this way, I wouldn`t fight villains, I`d try to tell that they should change."
,,Hm, maybe... Master Yo, when actually will the proceeding be?"
,,Uh, tomorrow."
,,What? But that gives him more time to think about a lie.", Yang said annoyed.
,,No, he can`t lie, we have the proof, Yin." he smiled at her and she smiled back.
,,What do we do if the jurist thinks Mr. Rees is telling the truth?"
Yin placed her hand on his shoulder ,,We`ll kick the hell out of that rat."
Yang hugged his sister ,,I`ve got her back!" he screamed.
Master Yo went to his chair ,,Fine. and now if you`d excuse me I have something important to do." with this words he fell asleep.
Yin studied the whole evening, explaining it with :,, I couldn`t do anything there, now I have to do the double work."
,,Yeah, I got you back.", Yang said and started playing his videogame.
At the next morning, Master Yo woke up early, he woke up his students and the three went to the courtroom. They wasted a few minutes waiting for everything to start. When it finally did that, they took place, Master Yo and Yang had to wait in front of the room, in case they`d be called into the witness stand. Originally, Yang and Yin wouldn`t be old enough, but they had no problem with it, no, they wanted it. Yang was sad he couldn`t stay with his sister, but if that would help to bring `the rat´ as they called him into jail, he`d do whatever it takes.
The jurist came in and took place. Then he stood up ,, rise, please." Everyone stood up. ,,With this I open the proceeding against Mr. J. Rees. Mrs. Shade, the accusal, please."
A woman stood up ,,Thank, you. Mr. J. Rees had killed the parents of a sibling- pair for revenge. A few years later, just yesterday, he let the girl die, even if he knew what exactly was to do. For luck the young girl, by the name Yin, is alive and today here. " The woman sat down.
,,Mr. Rees do you want to say something for your defense, or should your agent talk."
,,I`d like to say something."
The jurist nodded and Mr. Rees stood up.
,,So that was that way: I told the panda by the name Master Yo that it would be good for the girl to tour. The man got angry and yelled at me, telling me that I`d never get her. Couldn`t take her with me, or he`d kill me. I just wanted the good for the girl and then he said, he`d let her go, but still kill me. I didn`t take it serious and so I took the thankful girl with me. About saving her, he said nothing."
,,Thank you.", the jurist said.
Yin and Mrs. Shade talked, then the woman stood up. ,,We`d like to call Master Yo in the witness stand."
,,yes. Master Yo in the witness stand!" the jurist said. Two men opened the door and the panda came in, a tape in his hand. He went to the chair, the witness stand. Then the jurist asked ,, Do you swear to say the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"
,,Yes."
,,So, please start then."
Mr. Rees looked shocked at the tape recorder in the pandas hand. ,,So that was that way, I told Mr. Rees how to save my little student, I let her go knewing, it was her deepest wish. And before you say I don`t have proof, I have one."
He pushed the button on the tape recorder and they all heared the whole talk. Of course, they heared how Master Yo told Mr. Rees how to save Yin.
,,Thank you Mr. Yo."
The panda nodded.
Then Mrs. Shade said something: ,,So, Mr. Rees why did you tell us that you never heared about that?"
Mr. Rees` agent talked for him ,,My client heared about it, but forgot it in the moment of her death."
,,And why did you say that you never heared about it?", Mrs. Shade asked.
,,My client didn`t want to bedevil himself, in believing, you`d not believe him."
,,That`s not an argument for lying to us. And what about the moment of her death? Mr. Rees tried nothing to keep her alive."
,,Objection! My client tried everything to keep her alive."
,,I want to call Yin in the witness stand, she knows what happened."
,,Yes, of course. Mr. Yo, please sit down over there."
Master Yo nodded and went to another chair. Yin sat down on the other one. The jurist knew he wasn`t allowed to attest Yin, because she wasn`t 18, yet. But he knew, the girl would tell the truth. ,,So, Yin tell us what hhappened."
,,Yes, it was that way: Mr. Rees gave me a song and ordered me to sing it. I did what he told me to, but then collapsed. I heared steps, slow steps and his voice saying "well, at least, I don`t have to do anything." and then everything was dark. I didn`t feel any try to keep me alive."
,,Objection! My client tried everything, the girl probably didn`t feel anything anymore, because it was too late."
,,Objection disclaimed.", the jurist said.
Mrs. Shade had still to say something ,,What about that thing a few years ago? We can`t just forget that."
,,My client got mercy from the siblings` mother."
,,For the try to kidnap the girl, but not for killing!", Mrs. Shade yelled.
,,I think we heared enough. Mrs. Shadem what kind of chastisement do you think of?"
,,Lifelong imprisonment. Thant you. Mr. Thinker?" he asked the agent.
,,Imprisionment for one year."
,,Thank you, as well. Mr. Rees, do you want to say anything else?"
,,...no..."
,,o.k. the high justice will now back down."
A few minutes past. Then the jurist told his decision. ,,The accused Mr. Ress will get lifelong rise up.." Everyone stood up. ,,In the name of the folk I close this proceeding. Thank you."
Mr. Rees got angry ,,No! not again!", he screamed and jumped on Yin, pressing his thumbs against her gorge ,,DIE!", he scramed.
Yin tried to pull his hands away, but he was too strong. Soon she closed her eyes. Everyone tried to pull the rat off of the little girl. When they finally had him away. Yang ran to his sister, after he heared, that the rat will pay, he came happy in. ,,Yin, open your eyes, open them, please." Tears ran down his cheeks. He looked at Mr. Rees. ,,You, you, you bastard you -" Master Yo hold Yang away from the rat, but it was hard for him.
Mr. Rees now went away with the police officers. ,,Ha, you thaught, you wouldn`t pay for this, but now, we both lost something we love."
,,Come on." the officer said and pushed himin front of him.
,,Yin...", Yang liftes his head ,,Don`t be dead, please be alive."
He pressed his ear against her chest and was shocked, more tears ran down his face.
