**** 12 ****
Security was tight in Denver, Colorado for the trial that would be remembered in
the years to come. Doug Sandstone was the first of the co-defendants to be tried.
The judge who was assigned to the case was Crystal Cynthia Smythe. She was a
no nonsense type of judge that didn't allow any outbursts or the attorneys causing
others to outbursts in her courtroom. She was selected because she understood
all the female victims and she would give these young ladies the justice they deserve.
Andrea Williamson and Usagi met the prosecuting attorney and the judge.
"Greetings Andrea Williamson and hello Miss Usagi Tsukino. I hope you both are well."
The judge greeted them. Usagi instinctively, hid herself in Andrea's arms. She still hadn't
recovered from her amnesia. Andrea spoke to Usagi.
"Lil Sis, they aren't here to hurt you. They want to help you."
Andrea explained to Usagi and Usagi looked at the judge and the prosecuting attorney and
both of them nodded that wanted to help her.
"Promise?"
Usagi asked Andrea not sure that they wanted to help her.
"Yes, I promise that they won't hurt you."
Andrea spoke calmly to Usagi and Usagi turned to the judge and looked at her.
"Miss Tsukino, I have read your case file and I am aware of your amnesia. Don't worry,
you are in the best of hands."
The judge explained to Usagi that she was in the best hands. Usagi seen the prosecuting
attorney and Usagi noticed that the female attorney had dark hair and Usagi spoke again.
"Setsu..."
Usagi stated and Usagi pictured in her mind of beautiful older girl with dark hair and a large
staff. Andrea had no idea what Usagi meant. Usagi meant to say Setsuna who was Sailor Pluto.
Two days later, the trial began. Usagi was the last of the female victims to be interviewed. The prosecuting
attorney interviewed Usagi first. Usagi sworn on the Bible which was a common practice in every
American courtroom and the bailiff gave the oath to Usagi and Usagi was able to answer in English to the bailiff and
the prosecuting attorney began to ask questions to Usagi.
"Your name is Usagi Tsukino, correct?"
The woman asked Usagi.
"Yes it is as others have told me."
Usagi answered in a very calm voice because Usagi was nervous.
"Good. What was the first thing you remember?"
The woman asked Usagi again.
"I woke up in the hospital and the nurses spoke to me, but I didn't understand them."
Usagi answered again to the woman.
"Why couldn't you understand them?"
The woman asked Usagi.
"I spoke only Japanese."
Usagi answered once again saying she only spoke Japanese when she woke up.
"How did you learn to speak English?"
The woman asked Usagi again.
"Big Sister taught me English. Big Sis was very patient with me. I never met anyone
like Big Sis who understood how I felt."
Usagi answered again and answered that Andrea was the one who taught her English.
"Is the woman who helped you... FBI Special Agent Andrea Williamson?"
The woman asked again.
"Uhhuh."
Usagi answered in a cheerful tone about Andrea.
"And Andrea has been helping you with your amnesia?"
The woman asked once again.
"Yes, that's right."
Usagi answered again and the woman had no further questions and the judge offered the
defense to ask questions to Usagi and the defense agreed and the male defense attourney
asked his first question.
"Is it true that you are pretending to have amnesia?"
The man asked Usagi. Usagi didn't like the question and answered.
"How can I make it up when I remember not my past?"
Usagi answered his question with a question. The man pressed on further.
"It must be true that you are pretending? Come on admit it!"
The man argued with Usagi and burst into anger and she spoke.
"HOW DARE YOU! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT WHEN YOU AWAKE EVERY DAY NOT KNOWING
NOTHING OF YOUR PAST AND ONLY BE TOLD WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU CAME FROM
AND HAVE TO TRUST EVERYONE YOU SEE? YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND..."
Usagi burst into anger and into tears and she refused to look at the man and curled into a ball in
the chair being traumatized by the man.
"Bailiff, please take Miss Tsukino to my chambers and I will join her momentarily."
The judge announced and the Baliff offered Usagi his hand and Usagi willingly agreed to go with him
and he took her to the judges chambers and set her in a chair as she continued to weep silently.
The judge called both attorneys to her bench and asked the prosecuting attourney to join Usagi
in her chambers. The judge scolded the defense attourney for badgering the witness and fined him
5,000 dollars for the incident. The judge entered her chambers and calmed down Usagi and after several
minutes, Usagi returned to the stand and the defense attourney asked his remaining questions to Usagi
and Usagi answered but would not look at the man. Then the judge excused Usagi from the bench and
Doug Sandstone got up from his seat and grabbed his gun and held Usagi hostage by putting his left arm
tightly around her neck and his right arm around her chest threatening to pull the trigger if anyone
made a move towards them. Usagi was terrified of the man as Doug slowly made his way towards the
entrance. Now the FBI and the police was in a very tight spot to try and rescue Usagi without her being
hurt. It was a race against time to save Usagi from this madman.
