This is what Terri's necklace looks like.
DETENTION CENTER 10:00 AM
Mr. Wright and I were waiting for Will on the other side of the glass. When Will showed up, he sat down, then he looked at me, "Terri?"
I nodded, "Hey, Will."
He looked sad, "I didn't want you to see me like this."
"Will, I know you didn't do this." I told him.
"Terri, it's been six months since we last seen each other. How can you be sure?" Will asked.
I rubbed my lotus necklace. It was given to me by my grandmother on my 13th birthday. She told me, "We were all born with the gift of seeing the colors of a person's soul. Be sure to use your gift for the right reasons."
I told Will, "Because I know that you're not that kind of person."
Will looked at me, but didn't say anything. I asked, "So, what happened today?"
"I was walking around the zoo, just looking around, then I tripped over something. I turned around to see what it was. It was a dead body. I was frozen in fear. Then a woman with black hair wearing a red suit saw me and screamed, 'Murderer!' No matter how much I protested, she called the police and I was hauled here." Will explained.
"So you only discovered the body?" I asked.
"Yes, that's it." Will answered.
There was a nagging feeling in my head that said Will knew more than he was letting on, but I decided not to press him. I asked, "Will, will you allow me to defend you in court?"
Will looked shocked, "You?! Terri, do you realize what you're asking? If this goes wrong, things will be bad for the both of us!"
"I understand perfectly. I wouldn't have become a lawyer if I wasn't aware of the risks. All I'm asking is that you give me the chance." Terri explained.
Will smiled, "Wow. You really changed. Who are you and what have you done with my timid Terri?"
Terri chuckled, "It's nice to hear you make a joke again. Is that mean you will?"
Will nodded, "Yes. I'm grateful to you."
I smiled. Me and Mr. Wright left. He asked me, "He knows more than he's telling us."
"You noticed it, too?" I asked.
"How do you think he'll stand up in court?" Mr. Wright asked.
"He seems scared, so right now, I can say he may break down before I can cross-examine him." I explained.
"Do you believe in his innocence?" Mr. Wright asked.
I nodded, "Yes, I do."
WRIGHT ANYTHING AGENCY 11:00 AM
"So, the trial is tomorrow and we haven't even seen the court record." I said.
"This is your first trial. You'll need someone to stand with you." Mr. Wright told me.
I looked at the three of them. I wasn't sure who I wanted to stand at the trial with me since everyone was great in their own way. Mr. Wright is the most experienced out of all of us. Apollo can tell if someone is lying. Athena can read a people's heart. I looked down, "Will is scared and I know that he wouldn't kill anyone. It's not in his heart to do so, but seeing him today, I know he's hiding something."
Mr. Wright nodded, then said, "Athena, why don't you be there with Terri?"
"Sure thing, boss! Leave it to me, but what do you do think, Terri?" she asked me.
I looked at her, then smiled, "Sure. It would be great."
The trial is tomorrow. I need to give it my all.
So, the next trial will be Terri's first trial. What did you think? Please review!
