Court case
One of the days Kyle was watching and sketching his crush, he saw her dad returning home from work with two large pod, which he gifted his two kids. Kyle recognized the pods as gaming pods, which were on sale for a realistic game which was yet to be launched.
Kyle ordered one too, and waited in anticipation for the game to launch. And when it finally did, he forgot to unplug the pod's charger at the excitement of having a chance to meet his crush in the super realistic game, and got electrocuted inside the pod due to a sudden high voltage surge.
.
This was the first time Kyle's body was stepping out of his house since he moved in, and it was because I was getting arrested for homicide.
I felt like I had failed both myself and the original Kyle, and could only look down in embarrassment, as I got thrown into a police van, and got drove away.
-
The court room felt cold and stuffy, as I got walked in wearing a prison uniform. The room was filled with both people the original Kyle knew, who stared at me with disdainful looks, and the ones he didn't, who were also giving me the same looks, and it all made my heart drop.
I was directed to sit in the front row of the right side of the room, with 'my' father's lawyer. But except for him, the entire right row was empty, as all the spectators in the court room were all seated at the left row of the room.
"Shall we proceed?" The judge who looked to be in her late thirties, spoke solemnly.
"I don't see the point in all of this my lady" The opposing lawyer stood up and straitened his tie. He was quite confident that this case would be a walk in the park for him. "The culprit was caught in the act, and has confessed to his crimes. In my opinion, he should be on his way to prison already" he said with a poker face. "We even have witnesses, who were present at the scene of the crime" He added.
"Do you have those witnesses present?" The judge asked casually.
"Yes I do..." the opposing lawyer said confidently, "I'd like to call to stand, Mr Frederick"
A man stood up from the left row, and walked over to the stand. I recognized him as the other CIA agent, who came in disguise as a firefighter, for reasons which were still unknown to me. After swearing to say the truth and nothing but the truth, he began speaking.
"I was standing behind Mr. Stephen Frazier, when he kicked open the door to the culprits room, and got shot by the culprit..." Frederick began explaining
.
"My husband was murdered in cold blood... This bastard rendered my unborn child fatherless!" Mrs. Frederick, the pregnant wife of the dead CIA agent, screamed out amidst sobs.
.
"I believe that Kyle Donaldson is mentally unstable, because he never stepped out of his house since he moved in" one of the original Kyle's neighbor, testified.
.
"Several sketch portrait of my daughter was found in his room, he's a psychopathic stalker who deserves to rot in jail" Mrs. Clarke, the mother of the gray haired girl, testified with a panicked tone.
When I heard Mrs. Clarke's words, I looked to the left row of the court room, where the spectators where all seated, and sighted the gray haired girl at the back row. She was sleeping calmly with her head leaning on the shoulder of a gray haired boy, who had striking resemblance to her - her twin brother.
.
"Mr Kyle Donaldson, You are hereby found guilty, and sentenced to life imprisonment" the judge declared, and pounded her gravel.
*******
"Kyle, you have a visitor" a prison guard banged on my cell gate and said.
I was sitting on a bunker bed, with my back resting on the stained concrete wall of my cell. And was wearing the orange prison uniform which had a V neck collar, with a white tank top below.
It has been approximately seven months since my sentence, and a lot have happened within that duration. Whenever I went to the canteen each day, I would get ganged on and beaten up by the inmates.
The prison guards would always stand and watch without interfering, so I had to train myself through the experience of being beaten daily, to defend myself.
The words of prison guard surprised me, as the original Kyle had no friends or close relatives, so who could it be that came to see me. I stood up from the bunker bed, and got escorted to the visiting lounge by the prison guard. And when we got there, there was only one person present there.
"Kyle Donaldson, please have a sit" the blonde haired, green eyed, pretty CIA lady who had arrested me, said with a smile.
I didn't reply, and quietly sat on the bench opposite her, then looked up to her with a poker face.
"I'm sorry that things ended this way for you, and I believe it was I and my team's fault for scaring you.
"The reason we visited last time was because the ENDGAMES company detected that their pod had exploded due to a sudden high voltage surge, and had killed it's user, so we were sent to your house in disguise, to cover up their mess... But when we saw you, who was reportedly deceased, we were surprised and decided to take another approach.
"We wanted to bribe you in exchange for you to sign a confidentiality agreement, but you made the matter worse by trying to escape, so we wanted to force you to sign it and... You murdered an innocent man" she explained calmly.
"So are you here to force me to sign it, or you're here to silence me?" I asked with a hoarse voice, because I noticed the mini laptop on the table.
"That wouldn't be necessary anymore, would it? Now back to business. Do you wish to get out of here" she asked with a smile.
