Everyone had gotten on their feet, well everyone in the third column of the spectator seating which included the reporters and myself with Levy and I standing and looking a bit anxious while at the other column with the Business Moguls and the Nobles as well as their Dallihands only those of none nobility stood while with Praise wanting to join at first but Miss Maybe stopping her by grabbing a hold of her hand
In the first column with the high ranking military officials and representative from the government nobody stood at all before also joining in to stand were those in the jury box
"Alright, you may take your seats" said the Judge with a gesture of his hands while rolling his sleeves up "Where is the defendant?" he asked getting himself comfortable on the bench and at the same time rolling his neck around to release the tension in them and ther
The Judge hit on his table to get everyone's attention and complete silence in the court room"Nice to have your attention... Alright, ladies and gentlemen of the jury and those seated in attendance, this is a criminal case as was made known to me when given the rights to oversee it so with that being said and the defendant already seated can the attorneys charged with the first and second charges placed on our defendant come forward and give the reason for todays case but first the pledge" Said Judge Junior Vestaleon as he sighed also looking lacklustered although very focused and interested in the case but he had to keep that neutral energySomeone came walking with a Bible and passed it to Boyo to swear that he was going to say the truth and only the truth while placing his hand on it which Boyo did looking and sounding uninterested in the whole
Earlier that day in the residence of a Noble named Praise .Moon. Charlie and assigned Dallihand Miss Maybe and while the former was in a panic trying to get ready and catch up with someone heading to the World Island prison in Metro City because as it turns out she had stayed late all night until early in the morning and then overslept forgetting to set her alarm"I can't believe I slept for that long" Praise said as she rushed out her room door and passed a straight faced and unfazed looking Miss Maybe next to the suddenly opened door as she was on her way to the dinning for breakfast already completely dressed while the lady in particular Miss Maybe was actually on her way to call Praise about said breakfast*Sigh*"Female nobility do not run or act in a rush of let themselves get drenched by the rain
"What do you think could be happening in the court Warden Faller? Has it even begun yet? Is Charlie going to get a guilty verdict?" Lupri asked worried as he, Juu, Big Billy, Echo and Warden Max Faller were all together in some location inside the World Island"I have no idea but we'll have to wait for Victor to get back to us with that information" said Warden Faller with a slightly worried lookThere were no television sets for viewing external information in the World Island and even more so when they started undergoing that time none observance psychosis theory as the time would surely be displayed on the televisionMeanwhile, Officer Victor had been on his way to the court in Metro City while watching the broadcast on his smart phone from the moment Judge Junior Vestaleon Vestaleon entered the court room
*WAILING*"There you go baby, my beautiful baby... your mother's going to hold you in her arm until you're old enough to take care of her but even then she's still going to care for your like her little baby because you forever will be..." Said a weak looking woman covered in seamless clothes with a lot of sweat dripping down her forehead and neck as she caressed a little newly born baby in her armsBehind her by her right side there was a monitor showing her heart rate with each beat accompanied by a beep on said monitor and just in front of it was a stainless steel rack stand with an IV bag half empty and it's pipe running down and into the weak lady's right handNo matter how weak and tired she was the smile she had on her face for the successful child delivery joined with the sight and feeling she had while holding her baby in her arms was enough adrenaline to counteract the fatigue and pain she was feeling
"You two both like the names your mama gave you don't you" The weak mother spoked as her eyes and head slowly dropped showing signs of fatigue before she quickly raised the both of them with a sharp suction of air through her mouth"Don't you my big strong boy, even though you aren't showing it like your younger brother" she said to Janisis in her left arm who was still calm unlike his younger brother who was acting like all babies do when happy"Looks like we have a future ladies killer in our midst" said the elderly man with a limp"Yes, girls do like mysterious guys but also fun loving guys as well so my two boys are sure to be flocked around by a lot of them but the one who will forever have a spot in their hearts is their mother isn't it?" the strength which she was using to hold the both of them was getting weaker and weaker the more the time passedShe hasn't rested since she delivered
"And you've been covered by the rain"The elderly man with a limp had taken a pause to stare at the completely rain drenched man standing by the door as the man also did what he did and was slowly closing the door to stop the wind and rain from getting in*CLICK*The door was closed shutBecause of how wet he was and was still dripping on the floor Janice's husband didn't want to step further and since the place he was standing had already been wet because of the rain that got in when the door was opened by the elderly man with a limp first and now him there was no harm done with him waiting there"Over there" The elderly man with a limp pointed to a spot beside the door and to Janice's husband's right side showing him a towel he could use to dry himself off and although some part of it had gotten wet because of the rain it was still mostly dry enough to do the job<
"Sigh... Of course, I knew it just had to go this route" mumbled the elderly man with a limp to himself as he dropped his head in defeat and began to shake it"WHAT!!!" Janice yelled at Jaxon then pulled her hand free from his hold "What are you even saying, we can't take care of our own babies?!" she scrunched her eyebrows with a disgusted look boldly pasted on her countenance"Yes! That's what I'm saying and if you really think about it you'll know I'm right" he insisted"Right? How? What makes you think we can't take care of the kids I carried in me for ten whole months... TEN... I had to carry them in me for an extra month and you think I'm just going to sit here and listen to you say something like that to me? You must have gone mad from being in the rain for all this time you were out" she frowned"Come to think of it was that why you were out for so long? Trying to come up with a way you wer
"Yes, but what if there was another way to make sure and to know that our kids get to go to a good family but at the same time we get something to help give us a steady place to land our feet at least for the time being while we work to make things better for our next kids" Jaxon placed his left hand on hers on the bedAfter he finished speaking she slowly pulled her hand from under his on the bed with a shocked and irritated look "Are you talking about selling our children to a complete stranger?""Listen Janice, foster care, selling them to another family who can take good care of them or staying with us as we all starve to death which do you think is a better option for two newly born boys? We know from experience that the last option is a terrible one and foster care has its downsides more than the ups but the second option is entirely different... Look..." he said then held on to the hand she just pulled away again
