Vanilla : Chapter 99

"The people call Izzy InnsBrook."

Day three of the trials and according to Kristen this was hopefully the last day, Hopefully today the jury would reach a verdict. Kristen smile as she walk away from the Judges desk and stand in front the stands where Izzy sit so proper and patient

"as well as Izzy, the people call Jeremiah Jones."

There was a low murmur through out the crowd in confusion, especially the two groups of people who were going through court. A man stood up in the audience and shuffled his way to the front, he had on a navy blue trans back pack, his outfit was a pair of jeans and a shirt, nothing fancy.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, this is Jeremiah Jones. He is here today to prove that Izzy InnsBrook is not crazy, to prove she is not making things up. He is here to prove her sanity and he is here to show just how gifted these children are. Jeremiah, you have a few words?"

"I would just like to say, before we even get started if some of you have weak stomachs, or if some of you get scared easily i suggest stepping out."

Nobody moved, everyone was to interested as to what was going to happen next. Weak stomachs or not, this was to enticing. She nodded at him as he squatted down removing his bag

"So, Izzy. You remember what we talked about last night."

"which part?"

"About your mom, your dad and that guy Rex."

"oh, yes."

"can you tell me where they are? Are they joining us today?"

She nodded her head and pointed over to the corner that she pointed to last time she said Rex was in the room. Everyone looked yet saw nothing, while Izzy waved to the empty corner, Kristen turned to the jury and smiled

"ladies and gentlemen of the Jury, you look at that corner and what do you see? you see nothing.... It is indeed crazy but that doesn't make Izzy herself crazy. It is a proven fact that Children and animals can see spirits 80% of the time, while adults only have a 20% chance. This man here, Jeremiah, has come with the tools and knowledge to give us the ability to not only see but hear them as well."

All eyes focused to Jeremiah as he set an older looking radio on the Judges desk, it was beat up and kinda rusty but it worked. He turned it on and turned the volume down for the moment

"Hello everyone, before we get started im gonna tell you what these things are so they don't confuse you."

He held up a device that looked like some sort of toy gun, definitely something that children would play with

"This is called an Infrared Ultrasonic Motion Sensor, IUMS for short. It is a proven fact that spirits have no body heat, because there just souls. S-"

"objection, your honor were gonna say shes sane because of the reading on a thermometer?"

"Overruled, continue Mr. Jones."

Jeremiah smiled kindly up at the judge as he pulled out another device, it looks sort of like a taser or stun gun. It had lights on the top that started from green and ended at red

"this is called an EMF meter, it detects the changes in fluctuation of the electromagnetic field. This will basically tell us if a ghost in around while the IUMS will tell us how close they are to us. The radio is here to help determine if they truly are or not. Light please."

The lights went off and the projector came on, attached to Jeremiah was a go pro camera, the camera was pointed down towards the gun and the picture projected to the wall so everyone in the room could see the result.

"Okay Izzy. Talk to them...tell them to come closer."

Izzy looked away from Jeremiah and over at the "empty" corner. She raised and hand and made a come closer type motion, she smiled as her eyes traveled slowly from the corner and up the aisle. Jeremiah took a deep breath before turning up the radio and pointing the IUMS over at Aubrey

"as you can see right now the gun reads 96.8 which is a normal temperature for humans."

He moved the gun around to other people to show the people in court that no matter where he went the gun stayed in range of 95 to 99, until he moved the gun to in front of him. There eyes almost popped from there heads as the gun went from 98.4 down to a 0.3. He smiled as he kept the gun in front of him, the number only dropping more and more. He lifted the EMF meter and turned it on, it instantly switched to red

"usually this will start at green, then slowly make its way to red if a ghost approaches. It went straight to red because im guessing there right in front of me...am i correct?"

"yes. My mother says she likes you shoes."

The jury laugh quietly as Jeremiah crack a smile. He cleared his throat as he continued to hold out the IUMS and EMF meter.

"Could you change the station? on the radio. I don't really like this song."

They sat quietly, patiently. Waiting. Then it happened, nobody moved though. They all watched in complete shock as to how the radio changed stations if nobody even touched it, Kristen smirked to herself as she walked away, she reached Aubrey and gave him a high five under the table as she leaned over to mumble

"we so just won."
