This is it. The last chapter.
The present
The press were all gathered on the steps of jail. From
the crowd of reporters one would think this press conference
was of international importance. And in a way, it was. The
woman arrested and charged in this and other henous crimes was
described as an American...something which the United States
vehemently denied. The story of her rampage and capture had
spread throughout the world. At that moment, the woman
under arrest was probably the most hated person in the world...
or somewhere in the top twenty.
This conference was sure to be emotional and moving, as it was
called by the victim's fiance. The press was prepared to here
more calls for the accused's death, anger, saddesss...all that
stuff that helps CNN and MSNBC make their bottom lines. The world
was definitely watching.
The press quieted down as the young man approached the podium. He
looked tired and sad. The cameramen zoomed in on his face and the
people with mics moved them closer to the young man. This was going
to be good.
The young man took a deep breath and began.
"Thank you all for coming. All of you know me as Mamoru Chiba,
the fiance of the Usagi Tsukino, who was attacked two days ago.
I know you expect me to talk about her condition, the attack, my
anger, and my cry for justice. Well, you would be half right. I
am not here to talk about the attack. I am here to ask for justice.
And justice would be setting Alanis Hope Tierrany free.
"Since the government crackdown, the Green has been protrayed in the
media as a dangerous group, corrupting children and hurting people.
Nothing could be further from the truth. And the reason I know this is
from the age of 13 to the age of 16 I was a member of the Green myself."
- the end -
*ducks flying objects* Remember, I promised a sequel. There are a lot
of things that I want to address and a twist I want to add, hence,
new story. But I honestly could not end this story any other way.
Mamoru is doing something very "daring" here...sharing a part of
his past that could make his future more difficult to make someone else's
present a little better.
And for everyone who is still angry with me about the state of
the Mamoru-Motoki friendship at this moment, you are going to be
angry with me for awhile (but not forever).
Thanks for all of the feedback and support. Until the sequel.
