CHAPTER SEVENTEEN GERARD KINGSTON

      Gerard Kingston walked into the house of justice, he is known to be quiet, doesn't smile nor does he have friends. He answered the greetings of his colleagues and the employees of the house of justice, the sound of his shoes on the smooth white tiles is what got people's attention and they will greet him to show their respect after all he's now a lawyer from a court reporter.

  He went back to school and studied hard for it. Once he reached his office, seeing his name on his door brought a smile to his face. He opened the door and sat on his chair, he saw the files arranged on his table. He sat in his swivel black leather chair and turned on his system to begin his work. He heard a soft knock on his door.

  "Come in!" He looked at the door waiting to see who would walk in, a half-Asian, half-white Lady walked in, she greeted him and told him that Judge Flora is calling for him. He thanked her before walking out of his office. On reaching the office, he realized that the lady was Judge Flora's secretary.

 "You could have called me, instead of suffering the poor lady" he sat on the visitor's seat with an expressionless face. "I know but I didn't feel like calling." she smiled seductively. She's a beautiful blonde lady, with vibrant green eyes. "What are we going to do about the boy?" Gerard asked the woman who looked carefree. "Markle will testify, he will tell everyone what he saw, and by what he saw what we want him to see" she chuckled as she played with her finger looking at the confused Gerard 

  "I don't understand" Gerard moved closer. "I asked Max to pay Markle, Markle will tell everyone in court that Adam killed his family." Gerard furrowed his brows. What she's saying doesn't make sense to him. "And how will Adam, being locked up, help us in any way?" Gerard asked. "Is simple, Adam will be on trial, I wanted to get a junior investigator to take over the case but that bastard Romulus wants Trent to take the case" the lady gritted her teeth. 

   "Having Trent on the case is a bad idea" Gerard wasn't happy about it either. "I know only if we could find someone desperate to solve the case, then we can manipulate him" Flora and Gerard were in deep thought. Then Gerard smiled. "I know the perfect person for the job" "Who?" Flora asked. "Cyrus Potter," Gerard answered with a creepy smile. 

  "You are right, he hates Trent and we can use that to our advantage" She twirled in her seat with a happy smile. "With that aside, what about Markle, if he lies, the lie detector will indicate it to everyone?" Gerard looked worried. "Gerard dear, do not worry, I got it all covered." 

    After the conversion, Gerard headed to the meeting room. He told them about the case, he heard Markle filling everybody's ears with his lies and the boy saying he didn't kill his family. "Mr. Boyles, If Markle was lying, the lie detector would have pointed it out and we found your fingerprint on the weapon, you used to kill them all" Gerard coldly said to the young boy, he wanted the section to end. There was a small argument before he heard Romulus asking for Trent, Chen heard him and filled in for Trent, and his eyes landed on Cyrus who had turned red due to anger.

  Using this opportunity, Gerard stepped out and entered the bathroom, close to the meeting room. He locked the door so that no one would come in, he entered one of the bathrooms and dialed Cyrus's number. When Cyrus picked up Gerard tuned down his voice. 

   "Listen but do not say a word. I have a way to help you win the case. I'm a well-wisher who isn't happy with the way the organization is treating you. That's why I am gonna help you bring down Trent. Bye," he ended the call with a smile.

                PRESENT.

      Gerard entered the motel room and saw the young boy sleeping on the bed peacefully not knowing of the dangers lurking around him. 

"Is Flora going to come as herself or is she going to appear in her male disguise?" Max asked Gerard but he was ignored, he puffed his cheeks and went into the bathroom. "Yes, I won!" The huge guy packed all the money as he laughed at Thomas. "Fuck you" Thomas took his drink and sat next to Gerard who kept looking at the boy. "Why are you staring at him like that?" Thomas gulped his alcohol. "I'm just looking at the boy who will make us immortal. It is kind of funny that something this small is what will make us mighty and all-powerful."  Gerard chuckled.

  "Even, I'm surprised, I got so lucky thanks to his lovely sister. If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't be on the path that is the greatest." he raised his bottle in the air. "Aren't we an odd group? Max got out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. "Looks like Evette's sleeping potion works great" Clive the huge guy said. "A witch (he pointed at Thomas).  A werewolf witch. (He pointed at Clive). A norm (he pointed at Gerard). A pixie (he pointed at himself) and an elf. When will she get here?" Max lay on the bed next to Adam. "She gets here when she gets here." Gerard sighed.

  "Max and Thomas go to the house and prepare everything we need. We have to finish what we started, delaying it means trouble. Clive go and look for Markle. Erase his memory. Is for the best, I will wait for Flora and watch Adam. They all left for their assigned task. Trent letting that new boy investigate is the best thing that has happened to them.

     Chen gathered all the information he needed on Markle, he called Ella and told her what to buy and wear. "What! You want me to wear a top that will show half of my breasts?" "Yes, you obviously can not seduce a guy and we don't have time to train you. So you are going to use your breasts to confuse him." Chen was saying it like it was a normal thing. "What are you asking me to do, are you crazy?" she yelled at him and he moved the phone from his ear. "Look, if you want to help Adam you will have to do this" he spoke into the phone. Ella sighed before replying. "Fine, I will do it for Adam."

      It was already 7:30 pm before Chen and Ella got to the club. A lot of people were dancing to loud music, they were sweaty and drunk. The girls and guys are all coiled up together and dancing to the rhythm of the song. "Boys! Check this out" the teen girl was on top of a table and raised her top showing her breasts to the young boys who cheered her on. Ella was shocked all her life. She was protected by her grandfather, and she never knew that the outside world is this crazy.

   "Look, it's Markle!" Chen tapped her shoulder and pointed in the direction of Markle dancing with a red-haired girl. "He looks drunk," Ella said to Chen. "You have to take off the jacket Ella" Chen urges her. She has been wearing the jacket ever since she left the shopping mall. Her face turned red. "I don't think I can do this" she looked down, not daring to look into Chen's eyes. "Ella, I know you're shy but a seven years old boy's life is in your hands. Now go show Markle your beautiful boobs" he smiled at her and she sighed before she slowly took off the jacket.

  Chen's mouth was wide open, he almost drooled, when he saw her smooth soft looking breasts popping out of her pink half-top. Thanks to the push-up bra, she looked a bit busty, his eyes trailed down to her smooth flat stomach, and went back to gawking at her amazing breasts. "Chen, stop staring." she covered her breast with her hand. "I'm sorry, your rack is beautiful" he winked at her before going ahead. "Is he calling the expensive top I bought a rack, he really doesn't know beautiful things" She complained before following him.

   Chen went in between Markle and the red-haired girl he was dancing with. Markle was about to complain but Ella came and stood in his front and smiled at him. He looked at the light-skinned lady, whose brown curly hair was let down over her shoulder, she had a beautiful face and noticed the men ogling her. He was satisfied with that until his eyes trailed down to her breasts, Markle couldn't take his eyes off them. Ella had the urge to cover her breasts but she didn't. It was time she acted like the club girls to get Markle's attention. "For Adam," she said in her mind before smiling slyly at Markle.
