Chapter 82 - Glass of O.J.
"Mark, what's...", my jelly boyfriend trailed off, looking up at the gigantic screen. People gathered around us, taking pictures of us as we watched the scene unfold at the T.V. "...What... What is he doing on there, Mark?!", my jelly boyfriend yelled at me, as he watched the screen. "I... I don't know...", I replied. The news camera panned around the courtroom, capturing who else was there. I could see Adyna in the defendants as well, with Iremiya wearing a really nice suit, carrying a suitcase. In the background, you could see Giko sitting behind them. Me and my jelly boyfriend looked at each other for a little bit, exchanging looks, before focusing our attention back towards the screen.
" , it is clear to me that not only did you cause the deaths of several hundreds of brilliant scientists, dooming any chances of movement in both Chicago and in the past 48 hours, but you also stole 6 other vastly important experiments-", a lawyer said to Osmos, before being interrupted. "Uhh, Objection!", Iremiya shouted, standing up from the defendant's table. "If he hadn't, you wouldn't have known that he, or the rest of us, are just as intelligent as the rest of you." The lawyer scoffed at his statement, responding, "That may be true... but this was the illegal action in the first place!"
"Furthermore, you've caused one blackout in Chicago in September 13th, 1992, caused a fire that burnt down two buildings, causing dozens of casual deaths, and assisted in harboring a criminal.", the lawyer continued, pointing at Adyna. "Oh my god...", my jelly boyfriend whispered, covering his face with his hands. "It's going to be okay, jelly...", I told him, wrapping my arm around him. "It'll be okay, Jelly... No matter what happens...", I began to say, before he finished the sentence: "...We'll always be together." Then, someone in the crowd came up to us, placing his hands on our shoulders. We both looked back to find a man wearing a beanie, smiling at us.
"That's right... I'm sure he'll do fine. Come on, everyone!", he yelled, looking around at the crowd. "Let's wish these two that everything will be okay!" The crowd cheered, gathering closer to us, sitting down, watching the T.V. My jelly boyfriend looked down, to find a woman in her 30's, tugging on his pant leg. "Hey, want some twizzlers?", she asked, holding up a bag of Twizzlers. "Uhh... sure thing!", he replied, pulling out 5 rods from the bag. "Thank you, so much!", he said, with tears beginning to fall from his eyes. "No problem. It'll be okay, man!", she told him, looking back up at the screen. My jelly boyfriend looked back at me, asking, "You want some Twizzlers?"
Iremiya's face lightened up, forming a plan. He leaned over to Adyna, who looked over at him in confusion. "I have a plan", he whispered. This had better be good, Remi!, Adyna thought back at him, with a slightly annoyed look on her face. "Well, listen... I'm going to try to get you two back with the scientists... for life.", he replied. What?! Are you out of your mind?!, Adyna angrily asked him. "Don't worry... Giko and I will take really good care of you two...", he whispered, looking back at Giko, giving a thumbs-up. Giko nodded back, walking out of the courtroom.
"And after all that, Mr. Osmos, what could you possibly say for yourself?!", the lawyer asked, leaning on the stand. "Uh... I had to do it for my family! They were in incredible, incredible pain, and, as a family man, I had to something to save them. They were being treated unfairly by the scientific community, and...", he said, before the Judge cut him off. "I've heard enough. Take your seat, please.", he said, talking to the lawyer. "Hmmph!", the lawyer scoffed, looking at Osmos with a grin on his face as he walked away.
"The defendant's side has the floor.", he said, looking towards Iremiya. "Thank you, your honor.", he replied back. "Now, to say that my client isn't entirely guilty would be correct, however, the parts that he is guilty of is a large majority..." Osmos widened his eyes, angry at the statement. Then, Adyna's voice filled his head. Osy, he's going to try and put us back into the scientist's again, she thought to him. He looked over at Adyna, wearing an angry look on his face. What?!, he thought back. Look, Remi and Giko will take care of us, he says..., she replied. Osmos' face lighted up, relaxing as he knew the true plan. I guess I can't think of anything worse than that..., he thought back.
"However,", Iremiya continued, "The Jury should consider the following: He had commited these acts only in spite of the scientific community. Therefore, I would agree that a prison would not be suitable towards him. Instead, I offer to you all that you move both of my clients to a different scientific organization, where they would be studied intently, against their wills." The opposing lawyer's face lightened up, realizing that it could be better than prison for him. "Oh?", the Judge asked. "How long do you propose they stay there?" Iremiya took a good long, breath, before telling him, "Indefinitely, without parolle." The Judge looked over at the Jury. Some were nodding their heads, while others just sat there, deeply listening in.
"WHAT?!", I screamed, shocked. "WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?!", I yelled, waving my arms. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!", my jelly boyfriend shouted, trying to calm me down. "I'm sure he has a plan for all of this!", he told me. As I heavily breathed, calming down, my jelly boyfriend looked down the road to find someone familiar... someone pink. Someone who was wearing a yellow shirt, with an orange skirt. He bumped my elbow, pointing down the street as I looked over.
"E-Ella?", I asked, bringing a lot of the bystander's attentions down the road to the oncoming influential figure.
