We're still in the makeshift courtroom, but the boys are gone. It was 4:00 when we started and now it's 5:30.
North, East, Fenix and me are on stage. North is helping Mr. Poet get the voice recognition app on his phone. The principal hasn't been called in just yet. East got the DVD and put it back into its case for safe keeping. The TV and DVD player are off to the left side of the stage. Fenix is sitting in the witness chair and looking at everything.
"Ok and it's done" North says, holding up Mr. Poet's phone for him to see. Fenix stands up and walks over to come closer. "Now how does this work?" Mr. Poet asks looking at North. "We play the recording and then we call the principal down to speak into it and if it says they match then it wasn't faked" North says getting out her phone. She plays the recording and sits the phone down near Mr. Poet which is in the middle of the tables. We all watch as the bars move up and down.
"Let's call in the principal then," Mrs. Pot says, getting out her phone. On the phone ID it says Jerry. After a few rings they pick up."Hey, Jerry we need you down in the theater for a minute" Mrs. Pot says into the phone. We all wait about five minutes until the principal busts through the door. "What's this all about Brenda?" He says looking at all of us staring back at him. "We need you to do something for us Jerry" Mr Crow says. "And what's that Harold?" The principal says looking around. "Come here for a second and speak something into this phone. I need to make sure the sound is working for the show tomorrow," Mr. Crow says, Mr. Poet handing him his phone.
"Okay what do you want me to say?" He says getting up on stage. "Anything you want," Mr. Crow says. "Um ok" he says. He puts his face close to the phone and says "I love my job". Then leans back up. "That good?" he asks. "Hold on for just a moment if it doesn't work then we may need your help" Ms. Evern joins in with. He stands still as everyone waits as Mr. Crow hands Mr. Poet back his phone for the results. He taps the button and after a few seconds it beeps. "It's a match" Mr Poet says, after looking at the screen, his face pale.
