Trial has begun

A week later *Saturday*

I watched as Trevor came into the courtroom cuffed, with cops holding him. "Are you sure a week was enough for Adam to plan for the trial?" I asked. Laura smiled and said "Adam is good at what he does, I'm pretty sure it was enough time" I nodded and said "I'm just so nervous" Laura said "it'll be okay"

Trevor sat down and I quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek.

The trial was about to begin. "Can my lawyers rise" asked the Judge and continued "We are here today to see whether or not Mr. Baxter here should be released, may this Trial begin."

"Hello, I'm Fisher, and you are?" Asked the lawyer who was not on our side. "Trevor" Trevor answered. "Now, you decided to steal and you knew damn well it was bad right?" Continued Fisher. Trevor nodded. "Then you should stay in jail, judge I think we're done here, this was easy" said Fisher. Adam stood up.

"Trevor, you have been put in prison for a murder you didn't commit, you would've stayed in prison you're whole life if it wasn't for,-not the police but if it wasn't for Riley" said Adam pointing at me. "Continue" Said the judge.

"Well, Trevor was about to be put in prison forever! The city should apologize by letting him go" Adam started saying. "Objection, everybody makes mistakes" said Fisher.

"This mistake almost took his life away" Said Adam.

"I would like to call Riley If that's okay" said Adam. "Who's this?" Asked the judge. "I'm a friend of Trevor's." I said. The judge nodded. "Judge!" Fisher whined. "It's fine" said the judge.

I've been asked questions from Adam and Fisher. Laura was also asked questions and helping Adam.

Now it started getting good. But the bad thing is Adam and Fisher both had good arguments. Adam's argument got stronger and stronger and so did Fisher's. Now I'm really nervous.

An hour have passed by. The debate was still going on. Finally we took a rest for half an hour and came back to where we left off.

Both arguments were still so good, so Adam said, "What if Trevor made a deal?" The judge nodded and said "Im listening" "Objection" Fisher called. "I said I'm listening if you have ear wax in you're ear!" Said the judge to Fisher.

"Trevor can do community service, or he can donate money to charity" said Adam.

"I like it, because if we don't do a deal we'll be here forever because no one was winning since both arguments were outstanding, so Mr. Baxter choose you're poison" said the judge. "No way! Judge, this man needs to go to jail!" Said Fisher. The judge pumped his gavel and said "I have made my decision"

"I'll donate money" said Trevor. "The decision has been made, once Mr. Baxter's friends bail him out of jail, Mr. Baxter will donate 20,000 dollars to charity. Mr. Baxter, go on Ryder's and Rochelle's donate site, I'm apart of that so I'll see if you donate, and you will not steal again, got it?" Said the judge and Trevor nodded as the judge as he pumped his gavel again. "You're all dismissed" the judge said.

I got up and hugged Trevor tightly, and he kissed me while spinning me around. We weren't able to touch all week, even if it was just a high five! Stupid Phil!

Laura went and paid the bail.

"I'm so glad it's over" I whispered. "Me too, oh and is there any chance we can bail Tom, Manny, Rick, Tony, Isaac and Richard?" Asked Trevor. "Really dude, not a chance" I said.

We went home. "Hey, aren't you supposed to be at the orphanage?" Asked Trevor. "Yeah, but Laura was so nice to let me stay over at her home the whole week." I answered.

Speaking of Laura I owe her money for helping me. "I'll be back" I said. I walked to the police station. "Laura!" I said. "Hello Riley" said Laura. "I'm here to give you you're money for helping Trevor and I" I said. "No, keep it, I'm just glad I helped" said Laura. "No take it!" I insisted.

"Keep it"

"Take it!!"

"Keep it!"

"Take it"

"Keep it or I'll lock you up"

"Yes, I'll keep it" I said nervously.

Laura started laughing.

I walked back home. Trevor was smiling huge. "What?" I asked. "First off, I donated the money to charity, second I wanted to talk to you about something" Trevor said. "Okay, spill" I said.
