LOVE LIFE ON CAMPUS EPISODE 24 *********** Betty smiled for the first time in 3 months. So Jay-Jay still cared. Jay-Jay said I should tell you not to worry about tomorrow. Edith sounded excited. Hmmn, so did he say anything about me again? Betty wanted to know. Errm..nothing really, he kept asking if youre fine. Edith supplied. She was happy her friend was acting like a sane person atleast. He also said you wont need your mums lawyer. Edith added. But why? He said the case would take care of itself. Edith replied. Betty shuddered, she prayed Jay-Jay wont act funny at the court,- like shooting everybody. Hmn, I feel some how, whats he planning to do? Betty asked quietly. To suprise you! Edith quipped. Her friend would be free tomorrow, Jay-Jay gave her that assurance. ************* COURT!!! everyone stood up as the judge walked in... Case number one. the court attendant began. Betty Amah! his voice was high pitched. The police led Betty towards the dock. She stepped into it saying some silent prayers. She looked round,she caught her mums eyes, Edith was there, Jay-Jay, Tiger, and...she doesnt know his name. Jay-Jay smiled at her, her heart raced, she looked away. That you Betty Amah, a final year student, was with Emeka Jonas by 5:45 pm in the Evening on 13/10/2007. That you were there when he was shot, and you were arrested as the prime suspect.... Her case was read out. Not guilty she pleaded, her voice was faint. She glanced at her mum, who was saying some prayers. My Lord, permission to ask the accused some questions. a female lawyer from the defense panel said. Betty was confused, this isnt the lawyer her mum brought. She glanced at Edith who made some signs- Jay-Jay brought a lawyer for her. So Betty Amah, did you see it happen? Barrister Mario(Jay-Jays Lawyer) started. Rubbish question! Yes! Betty replied You saw the bullet? She hissed within her No, but I heard the sound she replied timidly. Objection my Lord. a short storky man from the prosecution panel jumped up. She is not supposed to ask the accused such irrelevant question. Continue Mario. The Judge replied. Thank you my Lord. Permit me to call on a witness who saw it happen. Barrister mario bowed. Go ahead. The Judge stated. Thanks. The witness is Gloria Amaechi Linus. Bar. Mario called out. The name drifted slowly into Bettys ears...she could feel her ears itch. She looked around and Lo and Behold, G-gal came forward. Betty gasped for breathe, she could feel her legs go weak. Trouble! she glanced at Jay-Jay, he wore a stern look and his boys too. From which planet did G-gal drop? You are Gloria? Bar. Mario resumed her meaningless questions. Yes.. G-gal replied in a thin voice. She looked miserable. You were there when Emeka Jonas was shot? G-gal looked at Jay-Jay, he gave her a warning look, she looked at Betty briefly, she felt sorry for herself. I wasnt only there...I shot him! she replied straightly. You what? The Judge gaped. Everybody in the court were like Ehn! COOUURT! There was silence again. I beg your pardon? Bar. Mario continued. I shot him, I am the killer not Betty. G-gal explained quietly. The Judge rose from his seat. COOUURT! everybody stood up. The case continues after Ten minutes. Betty was confused, was she dreaming? Is G-gal sane? She looked at Jay-Jay who kept a neutral face. Edith and her mum were weeping. Next ten minutes! It seemed like eternity. WATCHOUT FOR EPISODE 25 TIME/TARGET:
