章節 27: Leaving Blue Town 1
BLUE TOWN PENITENTIARY
Carlos Ryan walked out of the gates of the penitentiary squired his eyes at the rising sun that hit his pupils. He walked to Benjamin Black and they both got into the car.
''Have you found out where Prosecutor Ann is?'' Carlos Ryan asked as Benjamin drove away.
''Not yet, but she is not at her apartment. There are about a dozen reporters at stake at her apartment''. Benjamin Black answered.
''Find out wherever she is and let me know. I need to know where she is and how she is doing before I leave''. Carlos Ryan added.
''I will do that. But, when do you plan to leave Blue Town?''
''Soon. I have to leave as soon as possible but before I do, I need to make sure that Prosecutor Ann is safe. I am sure she met with the killer''.
''Really? How did you know?''
''I just know and I also have a feeling that the killer is much closer to her than we think''. Carlos Ryan said and closed his eyes.
............….
Norbert Brian stood by his car and watched Rosa open the door and waved at him before going inside. She waved back and smiled before getting into his car to drive away.
On the way, he picked his phone and made a call ''I will send you a list, I want you to get rid of them. How dare they bully what's mine? I saw a palm print of her cheek. Who dared to slap her?'' Norbert Brian screamed into the phone before throwing the phone away.
.........…..
''Wow, this place hasn't changed one bit''. Kylie said as she sat on the couch.
''Go in a change your uniform Kylie and come and help me make dinner''. Rosa walked out of the main bedroom after changing her clothes.
''You still have the appetite to eat? Sis, I admire you. Look?'' Kylie turned on the TV and they were broadcasting the case. ''Look? You have become a sensation overnight. You are now even more popular than Carlos Ryan and let me add this, in a really bad way''.
''Turn it off already''. Rosa screamed at her and busted into tears startling Kylie.
''Big sis, are you alright?'' Kylie stood up and went closer to Rosa. ''I'm sorry, I was just making casual talk. You don't have to take whatever I said seriously''.
Rosa pulled Kylie closer and hugged her as she sobbed. ''Is okay, you will be fine''.
A WEEK LATER.
Rosa walked out of the disciplinary room and saw Scarlet pacing about nervously. Scarlet turned and rushed to Rosa as soon as she heard the door open, ''tell me. What did they say?''
''What could they possibly say? They berated me and handle me my revoke letter. I'm officially no longer a prosecutor for five years. Let's go''.
Scarlet followed Rosa as she walked away.
Rosa entered their office with Scarlet and started packing her things into her box. Miss Jane walked to her and hugged her saying ''Prosecutor Ann, I will visit you when you settle down''.
''We will see about that''. Rosa didn't shed a single tear as she packed her things and left the room. The other prosecutors from the other offices all came out to watch her as if she was putting on a show with her mere appearance.
Rosa felt the sunshine hit her face for the first time in the morning after coming out of the building. Scarlet was holding Rosa's bag as they walked towards the road. A group of reporters rushed towards them and surrounded them.
''Prosecutor Ann, oh that's not right. You are no longer a prosecutor, right?'' Jung Lee was the first to speak as he looked at Rosa with hatred.
Rosa sighed sarcastically, she was almost wondering where he was and he was already here? Rosa looked at him and said ''I must have owed you a lot of debt in my past life''.
''Miss Ann is still in the mood for jokes this morning? I thought you would look gloomy after getting your licence revoke but it seems you don't look at all remorseful. You still don't regret your decision in the court room and is still very arrogant''. Jung Lee said.
''And you are still very rude''. Scarlet said and looked at him.
''Prosecutor Ann, what do you have to say? Carlos Ryan was released last week and is already out of the country?''
''Prosecutor Ann, if Carlos Ryan wasn't the killer then do you know who the killer is?'' another reported asked.
''I only set an innocent man free. As to who the killer is. That is for the police and the prosecutors to find out. I am no longer a prosecutor so I can't give you any information about the killer''.
''You planned this from the beginning, right? To release Carlos Ryan? Miss Ann, what if there is another killing. What would you do?'' Jung Lee asked.
Rosa looked at him and laughed without saying another before walking away.
''She is really a lunatic as everyone said''.
''How could she still be so bold and brazen after doing such a thing?''
The prosecutors standing at a distance murmured among themselves.
.........…
Rosa almost fell when they walked into the alley and Scarlet held her.
''Look at you? I thought you were being all bold and arrogant just now?'' Scarlet said.
''What a friend you are. Aye. What was I supposed to do? Let them see how weak and affected I am? I can't let them have the last laugh''. Rosa said and they leaned beside a wall.
''Are you okay? You've been acting tough for the past week, I am beginning to get worried''.
''Why? You think I am faking it all? You are right. I am faking it for everyone to see. I can't let them know that I am regretting my decision now''. Rosa said and looked at her best friend.
'''Let's go before another group of reporters ambush us''
.........…
''Mom, I can't even go to school without being asked questions about my relationship with big sis? What do I do now?'' Kylie was whining to her mother when Scarlet and Rosa walked in.
''What is it? Are you not going to school today?'' Rosa asked as she looked at Kylie.
''Go to school? Do you think I can go to school in this situation? My schoolmates all know that you are my sister. My friends don't even want to play or eat with me anymore because of you. I have become an outcast because of you big sis''. Kylie screamed and ran into her room.
''I…'' Rosa couldn't find the words to speak.
''Don't be bothered by whatever she said. She will come around'' Gloria George said and turned to go to her room.
''Mom, aren't you going to work?'' Rosa asked suspiciously.
''Mom was transferred to a rural village because of you, big sis''. Kylie walked out of her room and spoke. She had already changed into a casual outfit. She walked to the door and turned to look at Rosa adding 'we have to move places again, because of you. What a jinx''.
Gloria George walked to Kylie and slapped her on her cheek saying 'how dare you call your sister a jinx in my presence?'
''Mom'' Kylie screamed.
''Mom, why did you slap her?'' Rosa walked to her mother.
'Even if everyone criticises or call your sister names, you must never join them in mocking her, Kylie'. Gloria George said and went to her room'.
''K, are you alright?'' Rosa tried to touch Kylie and Kylie pushed her away saying.
''This is all your fault. I will never forgive you for this. My mother slapped me for the first time because of you. We are not even related, what right do you have to make her hit me?'' Kylie said and walked out of the apartment banging the door behind.
''Roa''. Scarlet moved to Rosa's side.
''No, is alright. I'm fine''. Rosa said and went to her room and Scarlet followed behind.
