Chapter 93: Trial in the Royal Court

All was quiet in the association building; most people had just begun to wake up to the rising sun. A knock came to a certain door.

"Come in you old fart!"

Zariff chuckled as he pushed the door open and saw both Rydel and Jack already up, ready to leave at a moment's notice. "I take it you're ready?"

"Of course," said Rydel. "Let's get this over with."

They clumped together as they made their way through the halls and past the reception desk. As they did, a voice cried out from behind the desk, "Good luck with the trial. Don't try anything stupid, Jack."

Jack smiled wide when he heard Maura's comment and turned to face her. Sadly, by the time he looked back she was already nose-deep in her first pile of paperwork. He sighed and followed the big man out the front door in silence.
