THE BROWN HOME*
“I hired the lawyer and she told you that because it’s her job but it’s my job to remind you that you’ve been through a traumatic experience,” Mr. Brown said
They are currently in his study
“Look I know you might think that this is PTSD(post-traumatic stress disorder) but the truth of the matter is that I knew the risk involved, I knew that I could die… It is what it is,” Mrs. Brown replied pacing around
“It was what it was, scarlet, it’s over…
“No it’s not over, he wants me to remember him forever, he wants to be inside my head,” she cut in tapping her head with her hand
“You said wants, you don’t have to do what he wants you to do, sometimes $h00ting someone is the best option,” her husband said
“he shot himself so that I will have to leave with this image, so I would have to live with this aftermath,” she said and sat down, she then puts her head in her hands
“You don’t have to do what he wants you to do, you’re alive and you’re here but he’s gone,” Mr. Brown replied, trying to make her see reasons with him but it seem not to be working
“Is he? Cos he’s still in my head,” she stood up and left

NEXT DAY*
Mrs. Brown could be seen with the members of the council as they question her
“Counselor try to put your story together, look we are not against Alex being dead but we want to know what happened, maybe there was a struggle for the gun and you shot him to save your life and your girl’s life,” the first person asked
“That’s not what happened, Alex shot himself,” she replied
“Both your DNA is on the gun, your fingerprints are all over the gun, was there a mistake and you shot him,” the second person asked
“Alex shot himself, He deliberately switched hands,” she replied
“And we are prepared to confirm that but if we do this may not go away, the new D.A( district attorney) Might look into this and think your squad is covering you cos they all are on your side,” The first person asked
She was silent
“Gina, did you want to talk to your client?”The first person said
“No, we’re fine, am not going to admit to justifiable homicide,” She replied
“Okay, we will present your story to the D.A, you might risk jail time so I will advise you to tell another story now,” the Second person said
“Was there a struggle for the gun and you shot him cos that’s the case we can close,” The second person asked
“That’s not what happened, Alex shot himself,” she replied, still standing on her ground
“Okay, Good luck to you counselor,” The first person said

THE BROWN HOME*
Olivia was in her room when she received a massage, she looked out through the window to see River outside
She quickly runs down in fear
“What in the name of spaghetti are you doing here? didn’t I tell you not to come to my house?” She asked instantly looking around as if being watched by someone
“What kind of a being are you? I was only trying to be a gentleman that’s why I came,” he replied
“Why are you here?” She asked
“You didn’t come to school so I didn’t have anybody to gossip with and my brother is still missing, that’s why I decided to come so that you will keep me company,” he replied
“Not right now, everything is falling apart in my house right and you have to live,” she said
“You’re the one that should live, besides I didn’t come to see you,” he said and walked past her going into their house
******
“The jury that Alex is sleeping with testified against me,” Mrs. Brown said as she walked into her husband’s study
“And yet you want to be hard! Just testify,” Mr. Brown said
“If I tell the grand jury that my confession to the council was a lie they will like to know what happened which I don’t want to talk about, and if I tell them the truth then I perjure myself, either way, Alex wins,” she replied
“He’s dead and you’re Alive so are our kids, now this trap you’re into he didn’t trick you into it, you choose to walk into it why?” Mr. Brown said
“Because I know what he will do to my girls,” she replied and sat down
“you think I can’t fight for myself but I can only fight for others,” she asked when he said nothing
“You have been fighting for yourself for a very long time scarlet, it’s time to let Alex go,” Mr. Brown said
She was silent
“I ki||ed him, mom didn’t want to testify cos she can’t lie under an oath and she didn’t want me to go to jail,” Karan said by the door
Mr. Brown looked at his wife and then at his little girl with a confused look
“What else are you lying about scarlet?” he asked staring at her
She knows she can’t hide anymore
“He R@P£D me,” she replied gently
Everyone was silent
“Am I going to jail?” Karan asked when she noticed the silence
“No, never…not when I’m still your mother,” Mrs. Brown said
“But mom…..
“No, but, you still have many things to live for, jail is not for you… I will go instead, don’t ever tell anyone that you shot Alex cos they will ask you, just say every other part and skip the rape and ki||ing part, okay?” Mrs. Brown said
“Mom, are you going to jail?” Eddy asked walking into the room
“I heard jail,” River said by the door and all eyes turn to him
“Why is everyone staring at me as if am in the wrong house?” He said and frown
