| Chapter 20 � 12:00pm November 13th (Crystal�s POV) Lance squeezed my hand as the girl�s tape played with the whole story on it. �He touched my privates,� Danielle said. �I couldn�t move.� �Did he have you held down,� The person asked whom was questioned asked. �Did he make it hard to get up?� �Yes,� Danielle said as she shook her yes. I looked at Danielle�s little face on the TV screen. It was bruised and dirty. She looked like she was in need of major love. I began crying as they moved to Stephanie. �Can you tell me what happened,� The lady asked. �I promise I won�t tell anybody. I just want to help you.� �Scott, hurt me,� Stephanie said as she covered her vagina with her hands. �He touched me here.� �What else did he do,� The woman asked. Stephanie began to move around in the chair as though she was uncomfortable. �How about you touch your noes if the answer is yes and nothing if the answer is no,� The lady said. �Is that okay?� Stephanie touched her noes showing that she understood. �Good girl,� The lady said. �Did Scott put his hands on your privates?� Stephanie touched her noes and tears spilled out of her eyes. I couldn�t do anything to help her. I felt squeeze my hand and he wiped away a tear. �Did Scott put his penis in or around you,� The lady asked. Stephanie touched her noes again. �Was it in you?� �Yes,� Stephanie said. �Right here.� She pointed to her genitals again. �Sick bastard� I thought as I made eye contact with him. �What did Scott call this time,� The lady asked. �You have to tell me this.� �Playtime,� Stephanie began as she began to cry harder. �Playtime.� Lewis shut the tape off and turned the lights back on. (JC�s POV) I held my breath as the judge handed the bailiff the piece of paper that had the verdict on it. �We the jury,� The foreman began. �Find Hank Troy... guilty on the count of kidnapping. We the jury find Hank Troy... guilty in the 1st degree of Child Molesting.� �A sentencing date will be set next Monday,� The judge said smiling at Chris and Chrissy who held Danielle. �Have a nice day.� Lance and I picked Stephanie up and hugged her with all the happiness I had inside my body. I was careful not to squish her. �JC,� Crystal said as she walked up to me. �Can I hold her?� �Of course,� I said handing Stephanie to Crystal. �Congratulations.� �Let�s go celebrate,� Justin suggested. �I want some ice cream.� �I do too,� Stephanie said. �Uncle Juju.� We all walked out of the courtroom and down the steps. I carried Danielle in my arms. Chrissy and Chris were too bust making out to care who had Danielle, just as long as it wasn�t Scott. (Joey�s POV) �Will that be all,� The lady behind the counter said after getting all 11 orders. �Yes,� JC said. �That is all.� All the guys took their wallets out. �Let me do this,� I said. �Please let it be my treat. I made you buy me breakfast like, every morning. At least let me but ice cream.� �Okay,� They said. �That will be $39.12,� The lady said. �Crystal, where is your ice cream,� Justin asked seeing that Crystal didn�t have an ice cream. �I thought you were in the mood for sherbet?� �Nah,� Crystal said. �I hate that stuff. I�m sharing with my husband. I love butter pecan.� �I have sherbet,� Alicia said as she kissed me. �Silly boy.� �I know,� Justin said. �Punish me already.� �NO,� I screamed as we walked through the parking lot. �Please don�t, not here anyway.� �I won�t,� Alicia said. �Not now anyway!� �Let�s go and let the kids play in the park,� I said. �I want to go swinging. I�m like a kid at heart!� �Is that what it is,� Chris asked. �We thought you were a pig at heart the way you eat!� |
