Chapter 14"The Trial"

The press got wind of what happened to Terry by an anonymous tip from Neil...so the news was all over town. Everybody got wind of it... Billie bought the paper before she left town early in the morning. She hadn't read it yet. She took the train and was sleeping and when she woke up, she decided to read the paper. She was stunned to see that the news about Terry in the early edition of the paper.

- What! She said out loud, he was with me all day! Oh no!

She started thinking about Terry.

- I'm his only alibi... what should I do? Go back? No, it's too early for me to show up now... but Terry...I need to make a phone call...

Georgina had left Terry with his family and she had gone to the office to work a little bit and make some phone calls. The phone from her office rang.

- Hello? She said.

- Georgina? Hi...

- Miss Andrew...Hi...

- What's happening with Terry?

- I'm taking care of the case, I posted his bail and he's now leaving with me until the trial...

- He's innocent...

- He told me he was with you....

- He was, for the whole day...

- So you're his alibi...

- Yes... I can save him, but... I'm not ready to come out yet...

- Miss Andrew, you're his only alibi...

- Yes, I am... you have to find out what happened...

- I already hire a private investigator to find out what happens... from the looks of it, Neil seems to be the culprit... he wants to get rid of Terry...

- That little moron! Said Billie, he must've slipped up somewhere... if things gets really desperate, I'll come out to save him... which means I have to turn around and come back. I can't go to the little house. I'll go to the other castle... tell the staff to clean up my room. Georgina?

- Yes?

- Get the paper work ready for Terrence's adoption. I don't want those Reagan to ruin him furthermore... now he's going to have a record...

- I'll get it expunge, once we prove he was framed...I start the paper work, right away...

- Did you get a hold of Reagan?

- Yes, he's in Singapore, he should be back in a few days. He was very upset. He likes Terrence a lot...

- Well he's got the family from hell with my lovely sister...I bet that tramp has the hots for Terrence just like her daughter...

- Miss Andrew!

- Sorry Georgina. My sister is a tramp! She doesn't mind entertaining younger men... she's lusting after Terry, believe me! I know my sister... well that's not important now. You get the paper work ready for Terrence's adoption.

- What about Madam Elroy...?

- Well, I'll take care of her... Terry makes Antonia happy, so she should like him a little just for that...

- He's got a girlfriend...

- Antonia is going to be glad to live in the same house with the boy she loves... bring me the paper work later tonight...

- Very well Miss Andrew. I'll see you later tonight. Have a good trip coming back.

- Bye Georgina. Set up a trust fund for him too... and take care of his bills whatever he has pending...I want my new son to relax.

- He's a very lucky boy. Everybody was willing to help him, even the staff at the Reagan were willing to dig in their savings to post his bail

- Wow... well being the only nice person in that house is not very difficult.

oOoOoOoOoOo

Terry was with his family, who started to leave in early evening.

- Bye Terry, said the kids.

- Bye Terry, said Sister Maria hugging him, hang in there.

- Thank you mommy Maria.

- Terry, said Miss Pony...

- And you too mommy Pony, you two are my mommies... Thank you so much.

The troupe from the Pony Home left.

The three cousins, had to go too.

- I'll call you later, Terry..., said Antonia, Nina...

Nina went to Antonia and she hugged her.

- Thank you so much Antonia, for all your support.

- You're very welcome, said Antonia hugging her back.

Terry, Jones, Ashley and Allyson were speechless.

- Did I miss something? Said Terry.

- Antonia is my best friend, said Nina smiling.

- And Nina is my best friend! Said Antonia smiling too.

- Since when? Said Ashley.

- Since we've got a lot in common, said Nina.

- Oh, said Terry, that's a good thing.

- I'll call you later, Nina, said Antonia.

The three cousins left. In the car, Ashley was still stunned.

- Why are you friends with her? She asked Antonia.

- Why not? Said Antonia.

- She's only with the man you love?

- She's a good friend. We both love Terry, we bonded during his arrest...

- Bonded? You've got to be kidding me!

- Ash, said Allyson...leave her alone, she's fine with what she's doing, don't make her feel bad.

- I can't believe it! Said Ashley.

When they got home she went to her room with her sister. Antonia went to see the great aunt.

- I can't believe that goody two shoes! She even got Terry's girlfriend to like her!

- Ashley... would stop talking about that. Antonia is a good person, she told Nina, she loved Terry... they're fine. Get over it!

- All right! Said Ashley sulking, I'm going to go to my room, you're not fun at all!
