-¨ (I don't know why Mr. Niter lawyer suddenly left, but he certainly knew to do his job) ¨ Athena thought happy but
-¨Objection! ¨ somebody yelled
After hearing that, everyone in the court were astonished. Suddenly Apollo was standing in the witness stand, with a serious look on his face
-¨M-Mr. Justice! ¨ the Judge exclaimed
-¨A-Apollo? ¨ Athena asked confused
-¨Justice-dono, what is the meaning of this? ¨ Blackquill asked
-¨Sorry for interrupting, but I have something important that you all must know¨ Apollo said
-¨W-What are you talking about Mr. Justice? ¨ the Judge asked
-¨Ms. Cykes¨ Apollo said, looking to Athena
-¨Huh? ¨ Athena said
-¨Who gave you that page that you just presented to the court? ¨ Apollo asked her
-¨Like I already told you, it was Mr. Niter former lawyer, what does this has to do with anything?¨ Athena asked him
-¨It has a LOT to do with anything, because… That person does not exist! ¨ Apollo exclaimed
-¨YOU¨ Athena said
-¨GOT TO BE¨ Blackquill said
-¨JOKINGGGGGG! ¨ the Judge said
The court enter in a complete mess after hearing Apollo´s revelation, people were whispering what was going on and may other things
-¨Order, I demand order! ¨ the Judge said hitting with his gavel ¨Mr. Justice, explain yourself! ¨ the Judge said
-¨It is quite simple, your honor, after Ms. Cykes got assigned this case, she received that diary´s page and said it was a document that she got from Mr. Niter former lawyer, but at that moment… my bracelet started to react whenever she mentioned that page. So I decided to investigate and found out that Mr. Niter former lawyer does not exist, I checked many files and asked a lot to people about his name and try to find the code of his badge, but there was nothing, not even the smallest detail, I even asked Prosecutor Blackquill about it¨ Apollo explained
-¨Is… Is this the truth, Prosecutor Blackquill? ¨ the Judge asked him
-¨….Yes, it is truth….. I didn´t know why he asked me that, but now all makes sense¨ Blackquill explained
-¨And besides… there is another thing¨ Apollo said ¨A few days ago I got a call from an anonymous person, saying that I must keep an eye on Ms. Cykes if she decided to use that piece of evidence¨ he added
-¨W-Wait! You can´t be saying….¨ Blackquill said sweating
-¨No… this… this can´t be happening again¨ the Judge said nervous
-¨So you see everybody…¨ Apollo said and ¨MS. CYKES, YOU FORGED THAT PIECE OF EVIDENCE! ¨ Apollo exclaimed pointing his finger to Athena
-¨W-WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!?¨ Athena yelled shocked
If the court was in chaos before, now it was a complete disaster, people were starting to stand from their chairs and raising voices
-¨F-Forge evidence? ¨ one voice said
-¨This is too familiar¨ another voice said
-¨Does this means that the defense cheated? ¨ another voice said
-¨Silence! ¨ Blackquill said while slamming the desk with his two fists, after that everyone were quiet
-¨This… this is a sad development, to think that you were one of the 4 persons who helped to bring to an end the Dark Age of the Law¨ the Judge said, there were some tears in his face
-¨Y-Your honor, please believe me, this was an entire set up, I didn´t know anything about this page¨ Athena said, trying to defend herself against accusations
-¨Bailiff, escort Ms. Cykes outside the court, take her to the defendant´s lobby¨ the Judge ordered
-¨W-Wait, this is all wrong¨ Athena said, trying to release from the bailiff´ grip ¨Apollo! ¨ she yelled before leaving
-¨Court will be adjourned until further notice. That is all¨ the Judge said hitting with his gavel
Date: June 6th
Place: Defendant´s Lobby No. 2
Time: 12:00 PM
-¨I… I…¨ Athena muttered, she was sitting in the couch hugging herself and with some tears on her face, until she heard some footsteps, when she raise her head she saw Apollo, he was heading to the exit of the court district ¨(Apollo)¨ she thought while walking to him
-¨Huh? ¨ Apollo said when he notice that somebody was grabbing him by his wrist, he turned around only to see Athena
-¨Apollo¨ she said
-¨Go away¨ Apollo said without looking at her
-¨Apollo… do you trust me? ¨ Athena asked him
-¨Athena… go away¨ Apollo answered, angrier than before
-¨Answer to my¨ Athena tried to said but
-¨I SAID GO AWAY¨! Apollo yelled, releasing from Athena and then
SLAP! It was heard, Apollo just slapped Athena, so strong that the noise could be heard from far away, this cause Athena to fell to the ground, she grabbed her cheek with one hand, it was red, she was shocked and started to cry ¨W-What is wrong with you?¨ Athena asked him
-¨You don´t know me… you never did¨ Apollo said before leaving
Athena stood there, without moving, she just look at her hand, shocked of hearing what Apollo just said, but then, she got up and started to walk away from there
-¨So… this is it? ¨ she asked while walking
Date: June 6th
Place: Apollo´s house
Time: 2:00 PM
Apollo was sitting in his bed, with both of his hands on his head, until his phone started to ring, so he took it and answer
-¨Hello¨ he said
-¨Good Afternoon, Mr. Justice¨ the other voice said
-¨What do you want? ¨ Apollo asked angry
-¨My, my, what´s with that attitude? I just came to congratulate you, that is all, you revealed the truth about Ms. Cykes, I was impressed when I heard that¨ the voice said laughing a little
-¨I did what I was supposed to, now you must accomplish your part of the deal¨ Apollo said
-¨Sure, Mr. Justice, after all, I am someone who keeps promises, and now if you´ll excuse me, I have a bigger problem to dealt with, a blue problem, bye bye¨ the voice said before hanging the phone
-¨ (Blue problem) ¨ Apollo thought
Beep, it was heard, the call had just finished and Apollo was standing in the middle of his living room, looking to his phone, until
Knock, Knock, Knock, somebody was knocking to Apollo´s door, so he decided to open it in order to see who it was, once he opened it, he was shocked to see who it was
-¨W-What are you doing here? ¨ he asked shocked
Let´s see waht we have:
1: Finally Apollo spoke out his mind (in the worst way posible)
2: Athena used forged evidence (this is saddly familiar, isn´t it)
3: Athena got both her body and heart hurt (Is she going to be okay?)
4: A mysterious voice talks to Apollo (just who is it)
5: Somebody is going to talk to Apollo (for the next chapter, and no, it´s no who you think you are)
As usual, thank you for Reading and I´ll see you next time
Peace
