~(Mr George’s residence)~
Luke came in with a sad look. Jack and Lucy walked to him and held him by the shoulder.
“How was it?
Jack asked.
” I tried all I could to stop it but the Mayor of the City is involved.
My dad is going to jail”
Luke replied.
What?
How is that possible? It’s Mr George we are talking about”
Jack said.
“Yeah… But there is nothing I can do now.
He is facing court charges”
“What about Alex?
Lucy asked.
“Alex’s problem doesn’t matter. The important thing right now is to get Mr George out of jail”
Luke replied.

Ellie walked into Lauren’s office with smiles.
” Why are you smiling?
Is something making you happy?”
Lauren asked.
“Yes, I met someone I kind of like”
Ellie smile.
” Ohh, and who is that?
“I guy I met at the mall some weeks ago at the mall. I saw him again at the fueling station”
“Wow… So finally, you are going to get a boyfriend”
“Probably…
Since Harry has moved on with jemmy.
I had thought there is something unique between us”
“Well, you got yourself a man now”
Can I see his picture?
Lauren asked.
” I don’t really have his picture yet, but I gave him my business card”
” Okay…
Maybe am going to meet him one day”
I can see how your man- to -be looks like”
A knock came on the door.
“Det lewis…
Can I come in?”
Lauren looked at Ellie.
“What’s det lewis doing here?
Lauren asked.
“I don’t know… We are both here when he knocked”
Ellie replied.
“Come in please”
Lauren said.
Det lewis came in and smiles.
“Nice to see you all again, Lauren Quinn”
“To what do we owe this visit?”
Ellie asked.
“Ellie Ellie..
It seems you don’t like me around”
Det lewis said.
“I do like you around… But anything I see you I know something has gone wrong”
“But this time, I have a good news”
Det lewis replied.
“What’s that?
“Let’s say Jemmy and Harry has been working hard enough to avenge Ethan’s death.
Even though you two had decided to move on. They haven’t and now they are going to sleep with smiles on their faces with the satisfaction that Mr George has finally be apprehended and he is going to jail”
” What ?
Jail? Mr George…
Lauren and Ellie were surprised.
“Yeah…
Det lewis said.
“How?
How is that possible?”
Ellie asked.
“Thanks to them, they found an evidence of Alex confessing to his sister’s murder and Mr George also knew about it using Alex’s secrets as a leverage to control him”
Det lewis replied.
“Omg…
Why did you tell us before?
Lauren said.
“Mr George is going to jail now?
“Yeah… I guess the battle has ended but I don’t want to raise you hopes up.
Mr George might play some dirty games at the court, let’s just expect positive results”.
Det lewis sighs.
“Thank you so much for everything, Det lewis”
“No, I should thank you”
If not because you all, we won’t be able to get our hands on Mr Georges”
“So what’s Next?
When is he going to face the judge panel?”
Ellie asked.
“Soon.. We hope things goes well”

“Thank you, Mr Marcel”
Everyone chorused.
He smile and walked out. He noticed Ethan behind him. He looked back and face him.
“Is there any problem?”
“No, dad….
I just want to spend my lunch break with you”
Ethan replied.
“What?
C’mon, you go to the cafeteria and have lunch”
“No, I want to be with you… This is the only time I can spend time with my dad”
Ethan said and held his hands.
” Please dad”
” Like I said, don’t call me dad in public.
Someone can hear us”
Marcel said as he walked into the office. Ethan followed behind him
” So, why don’t you want to meet my mom?
Ethan suddenly asked.
Marcel looked at him as he sat down on his office chair. Mrs Welson watched them.
“What’s he doing here?
Has he done something wrong?
Mrs Welson asked.
” Mrs Welson, I asked him to see me”
Marcel replied.
“Oh, alright”
Mrs Welson walked out.
Ethan smile and face Marcel.
“So can you tell me now?
Marcel sighs.
” Tell you what?
“Why don’t you want to meet my mom?
Ethan asked again.
“Some reasons…
Can you leave that topic please? ”
“Alright…
But I have more questions.
Why did you leave my mom at the first place? Why did you leave us?
“You can’t understand if I explains things to you”
“Then, make me understand dad”
Ethan replied.
“Ethan… Anyone could hear us and if they do, I won’t be able to come to your mom so, keep that secret.
Don’t call me dad in public, Mr Marcel is fine”
Ethan sighs and looked at him in the face.

~Beverly hills high Court ~
The police van stopped in front of the court building. Mr Georges and Alex were pulled out of the vehicle in handcuffs.
Press and reporters rushed to them blocking the entrance to the court building.
The securities tried to stop them from entering.
~****~
Everywhere was silent as the judge was about to give his judgement.
After all evidences has been checked and reviewed, this is my final judgment to George Quinn”
Everyone paid attention. Luke and Lucy sat upright.
The judge continues.
“I hereby sentence George Quinn to five years imprisonment for aiding, abetting and interrupting justice, or pay a fine of five hundred thousand dollars”
Harry and Jemmy were surprised.
” What?
Just five years imprisonment?
Harry asked.
Lauren’s mood was a sad one. Ellie also console her.
“Mr George is a beast… I don’t think the laws are above him. It’s the other way round”
“Yeah, you are right….
I guess Mr George has oiled their palms”
Ellie also said.
“Also, Alex Johnson is guilty of the charges which includes interrupting of justice and is hereby sentenced to death for the murder of his sister”
The judge said.
Mr George smile at his lawyer. Luke and Lucy just folded their arms as they watch with smiles on their faces.
Lauren and Harry gasped.
“Alex is going to die”
Jemmy was also surprised by the court judgement.
Mr George and his lawyer’s joy knew no bound. They knew they have escape again this time around.
No laws can touch them.
Detective lewis rubbed down his face. He knew it’s over and the Mayor won’t be happy of the court decisions.
Lauren looked at him with a disappointing look.

~(Lauren’s residence)~
Everyone sat down deep in their own thoughts. Jemmy, Lauren, Ellie, Harry, det lewis all sat in the living room.
Silence ruled for minutes. No one could say anything.
Lauren was just angry and frustrated.
“I think we need to stop now…
There is no need to raise our hopes up”
Ellie started.
“What do you mean?
Det lewis asked.
“I mean … You both came and inform us about Mr George’s case, reopening up the wounds we are trying to heal from thereby getting our hopes up.
We all know it’s not easy to bring down Mr George and his associates but still you brought an evidence claiming it’s strong to bring them down once and for all and now see, we lose again…
See where it’s lead us”
Ellie said.
“We are sorry about that…
I started it, I shouldn’t have fight for what’s right”
Jemmy said.
“No,. We started it…
Harry also said and stood up. He walked to Ellie.
“This is the reason why I will also fight for Ethan. No matter what happened, am go to avenge him”
“And look, we are back to where we are before… Can’t we just move on and forget about it. Ethan baker is dead now but now his son lives on.So there is no….
“His son?
Det lewis interrupted Ellie.
“Yeah…
Ethan baker is the father all along, long story”
Lauren said.
” We are not giving up”
Harry said and hold Jemmy’s hand.
Jemmy also nodded.
Ellie sighs.
“Gosh, you two never listen”
“Am just sorry for Alex…
I think he took the fall for everything”
Lauren said.
“He did…
Mr George made sure of it”
Alex is going to die”
Det lewis replied.
“Am going to miss him”
Lauren said and wanted to burst into tears but Ellie stopped her.
“Don’t dare cry here please”
Ellie quickly said.
Alex is gone and he is gone for good”
“Look, I think am at fault here, I raise you guys hope, thinking we are going to defeat him easily. I even had the mayor’s support but I guess it’s not enough.
Mr George is a powerful man”
Det lewis said.
“Yeah, you are right… I don’t think anyone can bring him down”
Ellie said also.
“I think my dad can”
Little Ethan said as he came out into the living room.
TBC….
Alex took the fall π Mr George escaped again
