Overcome (editing)

Chapter Fifty - Two

I stood there for a while, why did I need to be thankful ? I was still staring at the empty hallway when the door of the courtroom open, it was Clarissa.

Are you OK?...... she asked.

Yea...... I answered absently.

They need us back in there....she spoke.

OK.... I answered and I followed her back in the courtroom.

Once I re entered I saw the difference, the jury were no longer present and the media was removed from the room. The only persons there were Mr. Buntly's team, ours, Kyle and his mom, Ken, Clarissa and I. I also noted a TV was now set up in the middle of the courtroom.

Whats going on, where is everyone else?.... I asked Clarissa as I took my seat.

The case is no longer open to the public..... she whispered.... it's now an in camera case.

As I faced the judge my eyes collided With Kyle's, I felt this sudden urge for him, I just wanted to be with him, to feel his arms around me and marvel in his embrace, the feeling was so overwhelming, it's like he was calling for me and I felt it to the very core. Just then, judge Harrington entered the room and grabbed our full attention, the courtroom was completely silence as we wait for him to speak, he cleared his throat and then began:

As you can see the course of the case has changed, this is now a private hearing. A critical evidence was just brought to my attention, so far my eyes are the only set to view this, now we will watch together, after which I will give my verdict.

Just then a police officer activated the video. The setting was in a church, there I saw Mr. Buntly on his knees with his head bent low as he knelt before the pries at the alter.

Priest: what has brought you here son?.... the priest asked.

Forgive me father for I have been a bad, bad boy ... Mr. Buntly spoke giggling, by his behavior it seemed as though he was drunk.

Priest: proceed

Mr. Buntly: I just murdered a man and I liked it

There was a grasp from the Audience as we all continued to watch, our eyes glued to the viewing on the screen.

Priest: what did u just say!?.... the priest asked.

Mr. Buntly: are you fucking deaf! I said I just murdered a man, he fucked with our agreement so I smoked it ass! He begged me for mercy but I don't do mercy I aint you father, you fuck with me..... you're good as dead.

Priest: sir I don't think you should be telling me this...the priest spoke obviously now scared.

Mr. Buntly laughed.... let's just say I trust you....you won't say a word to anyone..... you know i have never openly expressed this to anyone before but i love it..... I love killing people, I love watching them take their last breath, it's so....... and he paused a he search for the word, when he found it he smiled and said. ... soothing ........who said that God is the only one who gives life and takes it away!?..... I take life too, in a way I am like him.

Priest: sir I think you should leave..... the priest said......I don't want any trouble.

Mr. Buntly: do you know who I am? Shut the fuck up !!!... Mr. Buntly stood, he was now face to face with the priest and he walked up to him to the point where his face was almost touching his.....I can turn your life from light to darkness and there is no one who can stop me, I have people in the police force that works for me, lawyers and even scum. I do what I want and I get a way with it, do you know why? I keep them rich and they keep me happy.... no one can stop me! I do whatever the fuck i want, I fuck whoever I want. ... I am powerful...invincible..... the alpha and the omega.....I am the I am........ I...... am......
GOD!!!!!!

He stood with arms wide open as he glorifies himself. The priest was physically shaking and he slowly backed away.

Mr. Buntly: yes!!!! Be fucking afraid!!!! He shouted with pride.

Priest: sir... please... stop.....the priest pleaded.

Mr. Buntly looked at him as though he pitied him.

Mr. Buntly: I understand..... I just want to thank you for listening to me bear my soul....he said laughing. .... it's sad though

Priest: wha--- what's sad sir?.....that priest asked.

Mr. Buntly: well...... he began to reach under his shirt..... it's just sad because now ........ I have to kill you

Priest: wha---

But before he could even finish Mr. Buntly swiftly pull out a hand gun and shot the priest directly in the head , his brain decorated the room. Mr. Buntly smiled as though he was proud of himself, He replace the hand gun in his waist and took out a handkerchief wiping the blood that had caught his face, then he whistled happily and walked out the church.

The entire courtroom was stilled, including Mr. Buntly's team. A tear rolled down my face for the priest who died for no darn reason.

Judge Harrington: after viewing this video there is no doubt in my mind the type of person Mr. Richard Buntly was and you young lady....he said staring at me and soon everyone was also looking at me too...... to endure such a man I must say you're a very strong human being, I hereby drop all charges against Mr. Benson, all of Mr. Buntly's earnings and estate must be release to Mrs. Buntly immediately, ma'am........ I am well aware that this cannot fix your suffering but I Pray it will be a start, Mr. Benson you are free to go, court is adjourned.

Immediately there was a uproar in the courtroom, everyone was clapping and jumping for joy excluding Mr. Buntly's team who just sat there looking lost. Clarissa jumped in Dr. Coleman's arms as he spinned her around and kiss her, she then turned to me and said:

Thank you.

For what? I should be thanking you .... I asked confusingly.

True....she said with a smile and Ken came up and hugged her from behind.... but you help me get my grandmother's killer, even though there is no proof I know in my heart it was him and with him being gone now I can finally be at peace ... she said.

We all can.... I said smiling.

Just then I felt someone tap me on my shoulders, I turned to see Kyle standing there smiling.

Kyle: hello squirt.... he spoke.

Rihanna: hi there poop face.... I said smirking.

He frowned. .... I promise you I would get you back for that didn't I?..... he said.

Suddenly he grabbed me and started tickling me in front of everyone who was now watching and laughing. I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe.

Cree! Cree! Motherfucking creeeeeeee!!!!!!.... I shouted, still laughing as I wiggled and squirm.

Y'all better be careful with my grand baby!.... Mrs. Benson spoke while everyone continued to laugh and watch and I dash out the courtroom with Kyle chasing me laughing all the way down the hallway, playing as though we always did since we were kids until now, it was like nothing had change......

Just like old times.
