Chapter 2 I do
Just like last time Ben, Gwen, Kevin; Animo, family and some other people were sitting in court, waiting to resume Animo's trial. After a few minutes the bailiff said
"All rise!' and everyone stood up as the judge entered
"You may be seated" said the judge and everyone sat down including him.
"During this past week this court has debated the credibility of Miss Gwen's testimony and has reached the conclusion that her love for her cousin might have affected her testimony or judgment. Therefore we wish to call to the stand Kevin, James Levin" said the judge as Kevin approached the front of the court room and put his hand on the bible.
"Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" asked the bailiff
"I do" said Kevin
"Very well. You may sit down" said the bailiff and Kevin did as he was told
"Now could you please tell us the events of the night in Which Mr. Ben Tennyson has been shot?" asked Animo's lawyer
"Okay" said Kevin and began his testimony
Once done the prosecutor said
"Let the record show that Mr. Levin's testimony has been identical to Gwen's testimony" said the prosecutor as the typist did as he was told.
"This court will take a half hour rest break after which we will resume the trial" said the judge and wacked his hammer and walked out.
Forty five minutes later…
"Mr. Benjamin Kirby Tennyson do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" asked the bailiff as Ben placed his hand on the bible
"I do" he said and began his testimony which has been identical to the ones his friends gave except for being questioned where he got his bullet proof vest.
"I'm sorry I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to say. I can tell you it's from a government agency which doesn't officially exist although in reality it does. If necessary you can ask the minster of defense about the 'plumbers'' and if he can, he will tell you. If not then ask if I can tell you because I don't want to expose them, but I assure you that the origination is legal and I got the vest legally"
"Mr. Tennyson are you aware of the fact that under the oath of the court of law you have to say anything you are required to unless it's a matter of national security?"
"I do sir but I'm afraid this might involve national security if not international"
"Objection your honor" said Animo's lawyer
"Mr. Tennyson is either probably lying in order to avoid his duties or is covering for an ileagl organization"
"Sustained" said the judge
"Objection the boy is telling the truth!" Yelled a man and everyone turned around to see the president of the United States at the entrance to the hall. Everyone stood up to honor him including the judge.
"You may be seated" said the president and everyone obeyed
"Mr. President, what brings you to the Supreme Court today?" asked the judge
"I'm here to defend young Mr. Tennyson. I am familiar with his grandfather and he told me about the whole trial thing and I had a feeling this problem may come up. I'm here to be the first president in history to officially announce and confirm the existence of the plumber organization which deals in battling hostile extra terrestrials threatening the people of Earth. Ben's grandfather is a retired plumber and he is the one who gave him the bullet proof vest" said the president
There was a shocked chatter in the hall and Animo's attorney said
"I withdraw my objection" and the typist was heard typing this correction…
To be continued…
Well what do you think? Did you like it? Did you dislike it? Did you like it even more? Please tell me what you think on your way out…
Thank you…
