Matt gets up trying to run to the phone, to catch it in time before the person hangs up.
"Hello." Matt hollers into the phone's receiver.
"..Yes. Is this the Hardy residents?."
"Yes, this is. What can I do for you."
"This is detective Randall. I'm calling to inform Jeffrey Nero Hardy of his court appearance for next Thursday. 10:40 AM."
..."What, we haven't heard anything about this until now. What is this appearance for?." Matt asks, confused and concerned.
"..I don't know sir, I was just asked to inform you, I wasn't told why." Det. Randall replies.
"...Well, thank you. We'll be sure to make it."
"..Have a good day." Det. Randall replies before hanging up.
Matt stands in the kitchen, the phone still clutched in his hand.
"Their not really going through with a trial, are they?." Matt whispers
He had to find out what their trying to do.
"Yes, can I talk to someone. I just got a call stating that my little brother has a court appearance. And I'd like to talk to someone who can give me more information about that." Matt explains to the receptionist.
"Hold on, I'll put you through to someone."
Matt taps his fingers on-top the kitchen counter while waiting.
"This is Adam Cope, what can I do for you this morning." He answers surprisingly joyful.
Matt was caught off guard, it took him a few seconds to comprehend what the man just said. He shakes it off.
"..Um, yes. I was just notified that my brother and I are due in court next Thursday, and I'd like to know what it's for. The man wouldn't tell me anything." Matt stats.
"And who did you talk too?." He asks.
".. A Detective Randall."
Adam nods his head. "Ah, I see. He's a newbie, just graduated actually. He probably wasn't told anything other then what he told you. Can you stat your name please. I'll look it up for you, see if I can find anything else about it."
"Thanks, my name is Matthew Hardy, and my brother is Jeffrey."
Matt could hear keys being tapped. It distracted him.
"Sir, are you still here?."
"Yes, I am. Sorry. I was thinking. Did you find anything else on it?." He asks. Wondering why he heard that when the man wasn't messing with the keyboard anymore. Maybe it was some new symptom from the medication?.
"Well, it seems your brother is the only one to be assigned to be in court, not you sir. So I'm afraid, I can't tell you anything else. Sir did you hear me, are you still here, Sir. Mr. Hardy." The man rolls his eyes "Sir, are you here?."
Matt shakes his head "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Could you repeat that." Matt was paying attention to the man at first but then he lost concentration, his head started hurting, bad. Like someone had just knocked him upside his head with something heavy.
"I said because this is referring to Jeffrey, and not you Sir. I'm unable to tell you anything more. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. Have a nice day today, Sir." Mr. Cope replies before hanging up the line on Matt.
Matt slowly places the phone back. He takes a seat down. His head was pounding and he felt over-heated. He lifts his hands up, and examines his open palms. They were sweaty. Matt looks up when he hears the door being opened.
Jeff walks in. A hat which Matt knew didn't belong to him, on his head. Placed on backwards.
Matt squints "What are you doing here?. Who's hat?." He asks.
Jeff walks around the kitchen table. "What I can't come back. I don't belong here now?." He asks.
Matt grabs his forehead. "I didn't say that, it's just you have school. Why ain't you there. " He whispers through pain.
"Are you okay, Matt?." Jeff asks bending over the table to get a better look at Matt.
"..I think I'm having a reaction to something. Call 911." He whispers while placing his head on the table-top.
Jeff runs to reach for the phone.
