Wanted Here – Ch.47 | KT OLLA

IT was another hearing of the pyschomicide case; and Pedro was there to fight back.

It was an early Monday morning. And the early-30 felt more confident that he’d take Cannon down this time.

He’d just got some strong evidence to fight with.

Now Peter Pedro was the first to say hello to the defense counsel, as they walked into the court.

“A beautiful morning to you, Professor.” He met the older man with a wide smile.

No, that gesture didn’t meet the professor kindly. For he stopped in his tracks, looked back and had no words.

He stood there, musing a hundred thoughts.

What is this boy scheming now? Has he got new evidence or what?

Or is he tricking me to believe that he’s on to something?

Well, if that is so he won’t be smiling this way—he’s definitely got some counter-evidence.

That instant D.M.B. Barbar read him through, and he didn’t say hello.

But Peter was determined to flaunt his prospects. So he walked up to the man.

“It’s really a good morning this morning—isn’t it?”

He’d stretched out his hand for a handshake. So Barbar thought to surprise him.

He took his offer and shook hands, then gently patted his back.

“Oh morning, Peter! Well, it’s only good morning when it’s the first moment after morning! Nobody count eggs as chickens these days!”

Peter Pedro was hit and he felt it. It was like an omen of bad news. It was like Barbar jinxed the morning. Like he predicted a heartbreak.

But the younger man knew his former teacher. And he wouldn’t be a prey to his stunts in psychological intimidation.

So he raised his gaze, squared his shoulders and hit back a word.

“I’m afraid, Professor; but it’s a real good morning today!”

And then, he walked away from him, whistling a tune.

Now the hearing began, and the defense hurriedly pushed for the closure of the case.

It was Barbar who pushed the matter, drawing the judge’s attention to the drought of proofs for psychomicide.

He was fast to submit that Carl and June Martinez, the plaintiffs, had no case and had simply been wasting the court’s time.

He did this because he felt pressure, wondering if the couple had got more proofs on them.

If they’d got any, he was ready to deal with it there and then.

Then if they hadn’t got anything, and their lawyer was simply bluffing earlier, he wanted to block their chances of getting back at Cannon.

He wanted to end the case.

But the old man’s fear came up real as Mr. Pedro countered his move, and produced new evidence.

It was something that the defense had never thought existed.

Yes, Marcuz López had willingly supplied the Martinez team with the recording of the murder of Lucius Barnabas, their last witness on the case.

He’d handed them his MP3 stick with the record file. It was after he converted Carl and June Martinez.

So here, the plaintiffs’ lawyer presented the sound device as their new evidence.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
