Under Oath with The Devil`s Advocate
When the court day came, I got worried about this newly found evidence regarding my case and if new witnesses came to light.
“All rise!”
The audience went up as the Magistrate came in.
“You may sit!”
“Previously, the defendant was given bail and further investigation was made regarding the case. Fortunately, new evidence came to light and was sent to the lab. Hopefully, we will receive the results later on.” He said, “The defendant, you may take the stand.”
“I greet you all, protocol may be observed. Ladies and Gentlemen, would you disagree if I said every story has 3sides- what actually happened, how it happened and why it happened. But with this case, we`ve only heard about the ‘actually happened’, never mind the predictions of ‘why it happened', but what happened to the ‘how it happened? My lord, it would be only fair if the defendant gave out his side of the story so

Born Again Everything Messed Up
The Cruel- man`s myth made me believe that I was really framed, but I wasn’t. Nonetheless, I told myself that I will haunt whoever is behind this and the person I could use for help was my dearest friend- The Wise- thug. I went to my friend and told him that my case was getting worse and I believe that someone is framing me. “And how can I be of help, my friend?” he asked. “I need you to help me find and kill him.” “NO!” He said, "I can`t be of any help, my friend.” I got shocked to hear him turn me down on something that has to do with murder. I thought he was joking. “Then I want everything that belongs to me back.” “You mean everything you refused long ago? Now they belong to me; they are mine!” “My friend, What`s up with you? You never say no to me, worse, to adventures like this.” “You only know me when you need my help. Are you aware?” “We not friends, you killed my brother. I own your life, rememb
Born Again Proving A Point
Never mind the fact that no parent wanted their children to befriend a murderer, it left me no choice but to do my usual hobby. Honestly, I was still schooling because of my parents` funding. The school depended on them by most means. Had I been of an average family, I`d be long expelled. As I was wondering how I was going to deal with the Wise-thug, I got a call from an unsaved number. I didn’t want to answer, but I ended up answering as that person kept calling. “I thought you`d never answer, how are you?” said the Family Leader. “What do you want?” “To tell you I`ll reconsider your request.” He laughed. “Are you the one who sent boys to beat me up?” “I guess we will never know.” He laughed and hang up the call. As I was thinking of what I just said my laptop made an alert. “Yes, I got the culprit.” The man is roaming in the Eastern side near the border. I hope he's not thinking what I think he's thinking.
Born Again Caught by the Bad Guy
What have you done, Mastermind? Kept in a butchery refrigerator, I woke up to a Russian man who was ready to teach me a lesson. On that movement, I feared for my life. “I`ve been waiting for you to wake up.” He said, “I wanted you to see and feel the pain.” “I`m sorry, sir. I`ll never do it again.” “Yes, you`ll never do it again. I`ll make sure of that.” “Please don’t hurt me. You don’t want to regret it.” “Is that a threat?” asked as he drowned my head in the basin. He took it out and asked, “Who are you?” Coughing, “Mastermind... and I can be of service to you.” I said. “Who do you work for?” “I worked for many, and currently working for The Autocracy.” I said, “I`m not on their payroll so now I`m broke and free.” He drowned me again. “Do I look like a fool? A mastermind caught robbing a supermarket?” This time he took too long. I was starting to suffocate. He took my head out and said, “You`ll
Born Again The things we do
The first day at school, after a long recess, was fine, and I had a great time with my new classmates. During lunchtime, I told my friend that we have a serious business to talk about.“We can talk now. I`m all ears.”I told him everything except the part of working for that Russian man.“So this man is a threat.” He said, “We need to eliminate him.”“What do you mean?”“We have to kill him and take over his businesses and territories, Mastermind.” He said, “Was it necessary for me to spell it out?”“I`m not part of ‘we’, right?” I said, “I don’t want to die.”“You are and you are not going to die.”Why did I even tell this guy!After school, I went home to drop off my bag and take off my uniform then went to the warehouse. I wanted to tell my friend that I`m not going to do what he
Born Again Being Accountable for my Deeds
I woke up after 6weeks in a comma. I thought it was a day. I was shot 12bullets and was operated on at an affordable cost while my sister, who was still fighting for her life, was shot only 4bullets, but her medical costs were above a million and her legs were paralyzed. I was shocked to hear that my sister is in ICU. In life, there are those times when someone is forced to do things they didn’t want to do. They killed my brother and justice was never served. Now it`s my sister. If I don’t act accordingly they`ll keep doing the same thing forever. I`m going to show them that no one messes with Mastermind`s family and get away with it- I mean no one! “What are you planning to do?” asked The Mystery- Voice. “To make this city the most dangerous place it already is.” I said, “I`m going to deal with those who attacked my sister. At least I know them.” “This time they are going to kill you, dead!” “I`ve died o
Born Again Failing A Grade
During lunchtime, some men came to pick me up at school. They were the Autocratic Family members. Top players in the game. When we got to the warehouse, I found the other 3guys who were in my position. We were four in total and had to play a game called survival of the fittest or last man standing. The wise- thug and the policeman weren’t present at moment and I was given new tutors so I got a phobia. Whatever game we are going to play, I`m disadvantaged before it began. I still could feel pain in my body. And I was nothing compared to my opponents. It was the last quarter of the year and I had missed the third yet I still have to bunk few more days for the sake of being a high-profiled thug like the rest of the cabinet in the Empire. One would say it would be a miracle if I was promoted to the next grade. I became fully committed to the initiations or the game itself. The thing I liked about my new tutors was that they a
Born Again The New Me
I thought no one ever cared about me until I failed a grade, that`s when people started to feel pity for me. I don’t know if it was their way of celebrating my downfall. After everything that I`ve been through, the community started to neglect me. Now they seem to care because their children told them a genius failed. I was never even a genius for that matter; not since I met the Wise-thug. My mom gave me an ultimatum. My mom. She gave me an ultimatum. Which parent does that? I know I wasted their R250k on school fees for nothing last year, but an ultimatum? They told me that if I don’t go to their preferred boarding school they were going to stop funding me academically, meaning if I don’t go there I`ll go to a public school. The worst part of the ultimatum was including the case- she threatened to stop funding my Advocate. What a mother I have. No wonder Dad is working far away from her. This woman is so mean, geez!
Born Again Unnecessary necessities
In the morning, I went to the police station to alert the Detective about the heist happening tonight. I hope he won`t take my tip for granted. I told him everything I knew about the heist, which was nothing. I only knew the road it was going to happen, not the exact location. That`s all. Since he, like the Prosecutor, believed that I have influence and know too much in the game. He bought my story and told me that he`ll be alert and will let me know if it really happens. Later that night, when I really had lost hope of receiving a call from the Detective, he did call. They had busted the Autocratic Family members at the scene. Apparently, no big fishes were at the scene. But what was I thinking? Only the Wise-thug made his own heist. The following day I went to the warehouse to check on the situation even though the Mystery- voice told me not to. I went anyway. When I got there, I found them torturing the person they tho
