Bab 20: Time to farm
The moment the members of the Su family saw the red drops of blood hitting the brown soil, all thoughts of the maids were abandoned.
"Scarlet," Mega screamed in alarm, "Med bed... med bed." She repeated only two words but Beord and Adler could understand what she meant.
She wanted them to carry Scarlet to a med bed immediately and Adler beat Beord to the race.
"What's happening?" Carolyn asked.
There was total chaos and confusion as different hands tried to reach for Scarlet who was struggling against Adler's hold.
"Put me down." She insisted.
"You are injured." Adler responded.
"The med bed can't help me." Scarlet retorted. "I know what's wrong with my body, don't you all think that if a med bed could cure me I would be healed already. I was inside of it just an hour ago."
Her argument against being placed in the med bed again was valid and none of them could counter it.
Scarlet shook her head, wondering why the med bed was always the first go to when the slightest injury occurred. The rate at which she was using one was alarming.
"What can we do?" Mega held tightly onto Scarlet's hands as she asked this question.
"Nothing, but I will be fine by tomorrow." Scarlet responded. "We have to deal with them first, if they escape and hide how will we find them on this big planet?"
She cared more about getting justice for Justin than anything else. Justin had to know that nobody would cause him harm and get away with it. He had to understand that he was a loveable boy who had a mother that would battle demons for him.
He probably didn't tell anyone about the abuse because his mother never cared, his uncles and aunts were trying to help the family survive and he barely knew his father.
It was amazing that the little boy still had so much love for her in his heart that he readily accepted her.
The two maids were crying and beating the area over their hearts with their fists. They were in pain and they had no idea why.
"The RGB is here." Mega announced.
Right on cue after her announcement, a large blue and red spaceship landed in an empty field next to the garbage dump.
Men and women dressed in blue and white body hugging armors stepped out of the space ship. They looked like robots landing on an unknown land.
"Over here." Mega Su shouted and waved.
She made quite a scene as she was heavily pregnant but she was waving while jumping up and down as if the pregnancy weighed nothing.
As the RGB officers marched toward them uniformly, they all naturally stepped aside and gave way to them, leaving the maids visually wide open.
The RGB officers came to a stop and the shields on their heads came down. Of the two at the front, one was male and one was female.
"Who made the report?" the man asked.
"I did." Mega Su raised her hand. "Those are the criminals." She pointed at the maids.
"Why do they look disheveled? Did you try to take the law into your own hands?" the female officer asked.
"We would not dare do such a thing." Mega answered humbly.
"Hmm." The female officer answered. It was plain to see that she did not believe them.
"Can we see the victim?" the male officer asked.
"Go and call your father." Mega Su told Fey.
Scarlet stepped in and said, "There is no need to see the victim, this is a video recording and pictures of the injuries. Included also is his testimony about what was said when the abuse was occurring."
"We still need to talk to the victim." Another officer stepped out from behind the two who had been questioning them. "I am from the Galactic bureau of child services [GBCS], my name is Mina."
She was all bubbly, polite and joyful unlike her colleagues.
She presumptuously grabbed Scarlet's arm, "You are Scarlet, right? I am so happy to meet you; I am a fan of your cooking."
She was like a little fan girl meeting her favorite celebrity. "You are not ugly at all; the anti-fans are spreading so many lies about you."
"What is this, a fan meeting?" the other female officer questioned Mina sternly. "We are here on official business."
"Sorry." Mina apologized with an embarrassed look on her face because her behavior was indeed unprofessional.
Dorian Su showed up with Justin in his arms and Mina whisked him away for a private conversation which lasted for ten minutes before returning him back.
"I think we have everything we need here." Mina announced.
"I still think they did something to the maids, look at their conditions and she had blood on her weird clothing." The female officer who had been suspicious and unfriendly right from the get go persisted.
She was acting high and mighty, looking at the family with contempt in her eyes as if she was somehow better than them.
"Rona, we are done here." The male officer said to her.
Mega Su was unwilling to allow the officers leave with such an ugly presumption. The story could easily turn into the Su family abused the maids instead of the maids abused her grandson.
"Officers, my daughter Scarlet has been sick since childhood. The blood you see on her clothes was spat out from her mouth a few minutes ago. You can see how pale she is right now. Her condition is unrelated to the maids."
"Is mummy sick again?" Justin asked.
Scarlet shook her head and said, "No baby, mummy is just releasing some toxins." She did not need Justin worrying about her condition.
The female officer whose name was Rona stepped away and distanced herself from Scarlet.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier that she is sick? Is it contagious?" She looked very disgusted.
"We would all be sick if it was contagious." Adler responded with anger in his voice. "You have what you need, you should all leave." He looked at his siblings and the rest of the family and he said, "We should head back inside, there is a lot to do."
There was a fluttering in the sky and they all looked up, "The delivery drones have arrived." Fey announced in her small voice.
Adler looked at the officers and he said, "Like I said, we have things to do."
The case had been reported and she had personally punished the culprits so there was nothing left to do.
"Wait, I need your contact just in case I have to follow up." Mina quickly explained.
Mina and Scarlet exchanged contacts and the officers left with the maids who were in handcuffs.
When the RGB spaceship left and the delivery drones left, Scarlet told her family, "It's time to start farming."
