Shackled And Chained But Hopeful

Trail day number 5

Rameila's POV
Today was the day of the verdict for Doctor Richards. Will he be made to pay the sum Zack required or will he do time for the crimes Zack claimed he committed.

"Councilors please give your closing statement", state the judge.

"This man needs to pay for his crimes against my client; doctor or not. A crime is a crime", stated Mr Lewis.

"This is ridiculous. The day Doctors are charged for doing their jobs. Is the day they we the people in society will be in trouble", stated Doctor Richards' attorney

"Ok let us take 15 minutes break while the jury deliberate", stated the judge.

The time came and passed we went back into the court room for delivery of the jury's verdict. I held my breath until the very moment I heard not guilty. Zack mouth felt open and his veneer felt out of his mouth onto the table. The disgusted look on the judges face was the only satisfaction I need for today. And it would last a while.

Poor Zack thought for sure he was going to win this one but God shown him.

..................................................................................

Court was over pretty quickly so we went to the hospital to celebrate our victory; with Nurse Joy and hope.

When we got there Nurse Joy implant was in place and she was in her bed sleeping off the effects of the anesthesia.

We did however get to share the news with Hope. Doctor Richards then left to celebrate with his colleagues this was surely a one. And we had taken so much hits recently. It was appreciated.

Zack's POV
How dare they found to be not guilty. How dare they? He should of been arrested, I thought to myself as I struggled to accept the fact that I had loose. I sat in one spot within my cell away from my cell mate. I rocked back and forth in an attempt to calm myself.

What use is it if my memory is coming back but I cannot make any of these people pay.

Flashback begins
I saw myself crying below a basement and a figure was pulling my fingernails out of their nail bed.

The pain felt as if it was happening presently. I remember her drinking alcohol and dancing .

Wait that's a woman I thought as my mind continued to unravel the scence.

When the face of my torturer became real to me. I was shocked, however I was also happy.

I got out the spot and I ran to the officer available outside of my self; forgetting I couldn't talk. All that came was growls aimed at the Officer.

The Officer looked at me kiss his teeth and walked.

I started to hit the grill continuously to get his attention and it work.

"What do you want idiot", he said.

I looked for a note pad to write and realized I didn't have one. So I left the officer alone.

I then remembered that each evening after trail, that my lawyer would come to see me so we could prepare for the next day.

.............Soon I sat before in the room we sat discussing the trail each day.

I wrote on my pad and showed it to him.

"Are you sure?", he said. "I practically embraced myself today when I lost the case against the doctor. Now you wish to implicate Rameila."

I wrote on the pad and showed it to him again.

"Well you better be sure or else I will yell the judge I think you are mentally ill and need to recieve treatment promptly."

I gave him a smile and when we were finished. I returned to my cell and he left.

I felt so inspired I fell asleep the moment I laid down.

Word from author

This time you were bound to turn heads.
