Power Rangers Music Force Next Generation
Chapter 34: The Shocking Twist in the Aftermath
It has been a couple of days since the rescue that took place in Ridge View. Jack, Noelle, and AV are out of the hospital. The three of them are at Corey's law firm as they sit together as they meet with Corey, Levi, and Susan. Plus Nathan, Stella, and Conner are with them.
"How are you feeling? I understand deeply that the three of you have been through a lot". Corey said to them.
Jack nods as she looks at Corey. "Yeah just being out from those animal crates, it was then I knew that it was over, and Noelle and I are getting rescued. It just learning that Heather had deep motives for her actions; it really made me mad. She belittle me when she was my kindergarten teacher, and I told my parents about her. My parents complained to get her disciplined and ultimately fired. I don't understand why she did that to me when I was a kindergartener and innocent back then. She wanted to break me when I was a little kid like she had experience of breaking people. That feeling alone is awful". Jack said to them as she is crying.
Noelle nods as she looks at them. "Yeah those crates were pretty close to claustrophobic for my comfort. Although like Jack said, she even tried to break me as well. Heck she did that when I was in her third grade class. I had no control on who my birth parents are. That mask that I made in art class was supposed to have flowers on it. However it got turned into a creepy mask. She took the mask from me and used it in her sick prank. She added the back side placed screws in it to make it into a helmet like in that story with the masked prince. When she placed it on me, I was so scared and trapped. I begged her to stop, but she wouldn't listen. When the class came back from art, it felt like I was betrayed by everyone in the entire class. It is like she is enjoying the fact that I was becoming the social outcast like she has experience with doing it. When I saw the note and the mask, it felt like she is being that mask back to haunt me". Noelle said to Corey. She is crying as well as she is upset.
AV looks at them as she was not subjected to it. "I gotten hypnotized into thinking that I was Sonya's daughter. She had me right where she wanted. I never want to wear the color pink again. Plus I can probably instantly veto the name Amanda for potential baby girl names in the future. What Sonya did not just hurt me, it also hurt Jazz as well. When she told me about her hidden motives behind kidnapping me, it really scared me because she wanted to kidnap me long before Jazz betrayed and pranked me. She was a juror in that trial eight years ago in Legacy Hills. It was before our families met. It is like she wanted to kidnap me that long ago. Plus she even told me stuff about Lucy and her death as well. When I tell Jazz about it, she will be equally devastated by it. It really breaks my heart when Sonya does something hurtful. Most times, it will hurt me and Jazz". AV said to said to Corey. She is upset about it like Jack and Noelle are.
Corey looks at them as he has his work cut out for him. He has to get three girls ready for the trial and to testify against their abductors. "There is no doubt that the captors really hurt the three of you. Their methods is up there on the sick and disturbing. However there was not much on torturing and that is a good sign. I got a feeling that the three of you will be ready to face them by the trial gets started. I do recommend to talk to me about any nightmares that you may have about your experience". Corey said to them.
Jack nods as she looks at Corey. "Ok I thought you are a lawyer or something". Jack said to Corey.
Corey nods as he looks at her. "Indeed I am, I am also working on my Master's and PH.D in psychology. I also help kidnapping victims from their ordeals and prepare them for trial against their abductors". Corey said to them.
AV nods as she looks at Corey. "Wow, it is really noble on what you do for victims of kidnappings". AV said to Corey.
Corey nods as he looks at AV. "You three are more than victims; you three are survivors. This time, I also get to help you as well Noelle". Corey said to Noelle.
Noelle looks at Corey as she nods to him. "Yeah, its just knowing that they are in jail now, but there is that uncertainty they will try to escape from prison again. That right there what scares me especially when Sonya did escape from prison. They could do it again". Noelle said to them as she is a bit scared about it.
Levi nods as he looks at Noelle. "They will be arraigned in the next couple of weeks. Plus three of you should meet with the prosecutor on the case. It is their job to prosecute criminals in a court of law". Levi said to them.
Jack nods as she looks at them. "Will the prosecutor fight for them to be in jail until trial"? Jack asks them.
Susan nods as she looks at Jack. "Yes that is what the arraignment is all about". Susan said to them.
Corey nods as he looks at them. "Plus I will recommend to get counseling from a psychologist as well. One person I do recommend is talking to is Dr. Rachel Osbourne". Corey said to them. He hands the parents her business card
The parents nod as they look at the card. "I will definitely give her a call". Nathan said to them. "I agree", Stella said to them. "I also agree". Conner said to them.
As the girls feel better about things, they are heading home with their parents. Levi notices the expression on Susan's face. "Susan is something on your mind"? Levi asks Susan.
Susan looks at them as she nods to them. "Yes I am glad that both women are in police custody. Plus the paperwork for this case and the Walford case are done. Although, things gotten very surprising when I talked to Michelle Cantrell". Susan said to them.
Flashback
Susan is at a prison not too far away from Riverdale. It is that Wednesday afternoon after she and Levi learned that the main suspects are in the windShe notice a lawyer who is waiting to see her client. She went to the visitor check in. "I am here to see Michelle Cantrell". Susan said to prison employee.
The lawyer has a skeptical look on her face. "Wow my client must be really by lucky to get more than one visitor. If it is about her case, she is not going to tell you much, and you are wasting your time by coming here". The lawyer said to Susan.
Susan looks at the attorney as she nods to her. "This is about a different matter entirely. Plus she has a right to know about it". Susan said to the attorney as she is thinking about Nathan. He gave her the name of Jack's biological mother.
The attorney is very surprised by it. "Well this visit will definitely be interesting then". The attorney said to Susan.
As they are both being called back, the prison guard escorts them to the visitors area. In the visitors area, a prison inmate sees the attorney, but she was not expecting the other person to show up. "I was not expecting to see her with you". The African American woman said to her attorney.
The attorney looks at the inmate. "Michelle, she came here to talk to you on a different matter". The attorney said to inmate named Michelle.
Susan looks at the inmate named Michelle as the three of them sits at a table. "My name is Susan McKnight. I am with the FBI". Susan said to Michelle.
Michelle is a bit confused by it. "The FBI, I was not arrested by you guys at the high school reunion". Michelle said to Susan.
Susan looks at Michelle shakes her head. "This is not about your case. It is about your biological daughter". Susan said to Michelle.
Michelle frowns as it got her attention. The attorney is surprised by it. "My biological daughter, I gave her up for adoption and it was my decision to do it. Why are you bringing her up now"? Michelle asks Susan as she has no idea what has happened.
Susan looks at Michelle as she notices that her behavior has some concern in her tone. "Your biological daughter has been abducted yesterday morning in Clover Hill". Susan said to Michelle.
Michelle frowns like there was a punch to the stomach. The shock hits to her heart as it sinks even deeper into her body. "What, who did this to her"? Michelle asks Susan as she has deep genuine feelings about her.
Susan and the attorney are deeply surprised by her reaction. "Does the name Heather Willis or Sonya Henderson mean anything to you? They are the main suspects". Susan asks Michelle
Michelle frowns as she is getting very angry. "I don't know Sonya Henderson, but I do know Heather Willis. We had this rule within our clique in high school that we don't our other clique members to the student body. For Heather, I am more than happy to out her. Honestly, it has been a long time coming". Michelle said to Susan.
Susan looks at Michelle as the inmate is willing to talk. "Can you explain about it"? Susan asks Michelle.
The attorney looks at them as this is surprising. "Hold on though, will you tell the prosecutor that she cooperated with you on what she had to say". The attorney said to Susan.
Susan nods as she looks at them. "I will tell the prosecutor on your case about it". Susan said to them.
Michelle looks at them as she gets the encouragement from her lawyer. "Heather is one of those people that couldn't let high school go. When the scandal came out from the bullying that was supposed to be covered up, all of us who were heavily involved with the bullying got punished with Monday through Saturday detentions until graduation and 150 hours of community service. Heather and I were serving our community service at a soup kitchen. For the entire time that I was with her at the kitchen, Heather was complaining about doing it. The supervisor of the soup kitchen notice that I had a baby bump and realized that I shouldn't be on my feet as much. I told the supervisor in complete confidence that I was pregnant at the time. I was not sure if I was going to give her up for adoption or take the tough path of raising her. I pretty much gotten my community service assignment changed to helping out babies at a hospital who were born drug addicted. When Heather confronted me about it, she was mad that I gotten my assignment changed. She demanded that her assignment get changed, but it got declined. She told me that she will make my daughter pay for it. I never told her that I was expecting a baby girl. The only explanation that she found out it was overhearing from the soup kitchen supervisor. As for the biological father, he broke with me in high school. He pretty much had enough of my lies and cheating on him and stood up to me. When she was born and actually taking care of it, I got overwhelmed. It was then I decided to give her up for adoption. I drove to Nevada and placed her in the orphanage. I did it to give my daughter a better life, to protect her from Heather, and I personally screwed the biological father by forging those documents that is related to the parental rights". Michellle said to Susan.
Susan nods as she learns about it. "You had your reasons to do it, and yet not all of them were good reasons". Susan said to Michelle.
Michelle nods as she looks at Susan. "Yes, I did. Arrest Heather for me and given my daughter a hug from me". Michelle said to Susan as she feels heartbroken about the fact that her biological daughter is missing.
Susan nods as she looks at Michelle. "You can count on it". Susan said to Michelle.
The attorney looks at Susan. "Will you talk to the prosecutor on the case". The attorney asks Susan.
Susan nods as she looks at the attorney. "Yes", Susan said to the attorney as she got the name of the prosecutor on the case as they left the prison.
End Flashback
Levi nods as he looks at Susan. "It sounds like Heather has hurt a lot of people regardless of the circumstances that other people had". Levi said to Susan.
Corey nods as he looks at Susan. "I have to agree. The teens will need each other each other to get through this. Even though the evil forces has not attacked them during all of this, I got a bad feeling that they will strike soon". Corey said to them. Levi and Susan nod in agreement as they wonder what is coming next for the rangers.
Meanwhile, back at Lady Chaosima's Ship, Sir Stanler went towards Lady Chaosima with a new plan. "Lady Chaosima, I have a new plan to attack the rangers". Sir Stanler said to Lady Chaosima.
Lady Chaosima looks at Sir Stanler as she is intrigued by it. "I am listening", Lady Chaosima said to Sir Stanler.
Sir Stanler looks at Lady Chaosima as he has an evil grin on his face. "We should fulfill what your eldest daughter failed to do drain the power from their music zords. Once we do that, we can bring her evil spirit back to life for her to take over someone who will do our dirty work". Sir Stanler said to Lady Chaosima.
Lady Chaosima nods as she is intrigued by it. "I take it you have a human in mind". Lady Chaosima said to Sir Stanler.
Sir Stanler nods as he looks at Lady Chaosima. "Yes we could pick a human or Muse for our project". Sir Stanler said to Lady Chaosima.
Lady Chaosima looks at Sir Stanler as she loves the idea. "Using Muse would be something to consider. At the same time, using a human would be even better. I want you to find a suitable candidate for it". Lady Chaosima said to Sir Stanler.
Sir Stanler nods as he looks at Lady Chaosima. "It will be my pleasure my lady". Sir Stanler said to Lady Chaosima as he leaves the ship for the search. 'You better watch out rangers. Our plan is taking shape'. Sir Stanler thought to himself as he is searching the town.
