District Court - Defendant Lobby no 1
(I've been waiting here for absolutely ages...
Even Alex is getting restless!
Where is Mr Amaya?)
"S-So...everything is going to be fine...right...?" Alex was trembling. I kinda felt sorry for the poor kid.
"Everything will be absolutely fine!" I put on a brave smile. "Hey, how about you sing a song to keep you calm?"
"A s-song...right..." Alex cleared his throat and started to mutter to himself.
"♪When tomorrow comes...I'll be on my own...♪"
"L-Lily-!"
Mr Amaya burst into the defendant lobby, panting. He clearly was out of breath...
"♪...feeling frightened of...the things that I don't know...♪"
"Where were you?!" I crossed my arms. "For I would've known, you could've decided to abandon me!"
(Alex, this isn't the time to be singing right now-)
"♪...when tomorrow comes...tomorrow comes...tomorrow comes...♪"
"Hey...you gotta...listen to me..." Sky leaned against the wall, panting. "You...you're brother won't be the Prosecutor today...in fact, I'll be surprised if the trial...even goes ahead today..."
"♪...and though the road is long...I look up to the sky...♪"
"W-What do you me-?!" I paused for a second.
Robbie? Not the Prosecutor for today?
"Why isn't Robbie going to be the Prosecutor for today?! And what do you mean 'I'll be surprised if the trial even goes ahead today?!'"
"♪...in the dark I found, I stop and I won't fly...and I sing along, I sing along, and then I sing along...♪"
"...I..." Sky hesitated. "...I can't tell you that...sorry..."
I gave out a slight gasp.
It was right there.
I could see them.
Five red psyche-locks.
"♪...I got all I need when I got you and I...I look around me, and see a sweet life...♪"
"Defence! I am afraid the..er...trial will be...delayed..." The bailiff announced.
"♪...I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight...you're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night...♪"
"DELAYED?!" I shouted (I tend to shout sometimes, okay?). "WHY?!"
The bailiff tugged his collar. "There's been a uh...incident...b-but anyway, just hold tight unt-"
"WHY WILL NO ONE TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?!" I stomped my feet.
"♪...Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes...can't lie, it's a sweet life...♪"
"Lily, you need to calm down..." Sky rubbed his forehead. "Maybe you should take this chance to look through the court record again...?"
"♪...I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight...you're gettin' me, gettin' me through the night...♪"
Sky pointed to Alex and mouthed a what-on-earth-is-he-doing? To me.
I shrugged my shoulders in reply.
"♪...cause you're my flashlight...you're my flashlight, you're my flashlight...♪"
