* Sun appears *
I find myself next to Alisson's body with my hand full of blood, until a police car arrives at the scene.
Policeman: Young man, I'm sorry but I will have to take you
I get up and put mine back.
* The police put the handcuffs on and leads you to the virtual, taking Diogo to the police station *
I'm put in a chair * Handcuffed *
Then the deputy arrives and says:
Delegate: We investigate the situation. As much as you are in shock, you will have to appear in court at 2 pm.
Me: But sir ... I don't have a lawyer.
Delegate: I am very young, but you will be arrested if you do not present a lawyer. As much as you are innocent and have evidence proving it wasn't you ... The guilt will fall to you.
Me: And Gabi? How is she?
Delegate: In a critical state.
I bow my head and start having horrible thoughts
I start crying softly ...
* Arrives at 1 and 30 *
Gabriel appears with the deputy
Delegate: Time to go, boy.
* Opens the saddle *
I don't even lift my head
Gabriel: Diogo? Are you okay?
* I lift my head *
My face was pale from crying
Gabriel comes to me to try to help me up
*I get up*
It helps me to walk
Gabriel: Did he eat anything?
Delegate: No! We asked him if he wanted to eat something and he didn't respond ... he remained silent.
Gabriel looks at me
Gabriel: Calm down, my friend. All will be alright.
We follow the path to the vehicle
* We went in and went to the court *
Getting there and walking down the hall Celeste (Alisson's daughter) is in the hall drinking water.
* My heart starts to pound *
* Me: Is she mad at me? *
She sees me and sees me running towards me
Celeste: Uncle, uncle ...
*Hug me*
Celeste: I missed you ... How are you?
Me: Hi ... Celeste. I'm fine and you ... * speaking in a low voice *
Celeste: I'm fine, but I'm mad at my dad.
Me: Why are you mad at him? ...
Celeste: Because today is my birthday and he didn't even show up.
* Starts tears from my eyes *
Me: Really? ... How old are you?
Celeste: 4
* Crying increases *
Grazy (Alisson's wife) Appears
Grazy: Celeste, let's go now. * Spoke loudly *
I notice that Grazy is looking awful, she looks like she's finished. It looks like she's dead inside.
Celeste: I'm going, mom ... Uncle Diogo, if you see Dad, say I'm after him.
She runs away
* My heart breaks when I see that scene *
Delegate: Let's continue
* We walk to the room that will be the trial *
We arrived and for the first time I see my friends and family together. The room was packed.
Judge: Sit down, the trial will begin.
* Sit down *
Judge: Where's your lawyer?
Me: I don't have, Your Honor
Judge: You know you're going to be guilty automatically if you don't have a lawyer, right?
Me: Yes ...
* Everyone is scared *
People start shouting that it was not fair. The court ends up becoming a nun of so many people talking.
Judge: Order, order in court.
* Hitting the hammer *
Judge: I know it's not fair, but what can I do? It's the law, folks. Unfortunately I will have to plead guilty and give him 30 years in prison.
* I bow my head *
My friends start to cry
Judge: So ... I declare the defendant guilty
Wes: Your Honor, wait.
* She stops *
Wes: I finished my law school, so could I be Diogo's lawyer?
Judge: Um ... Wait a minute, I'll see in the constitution.
She opens the book and starts looking
Judge: I found it! You can legally be his lawyer.
Everyone starts celebrating
Judge: Order, order.
Wes: So Your Honor, I am Wesley silva de sousa and I will be the lawyer for Diogo Henrique souza de Lima.
Judge: Well then, Mr. Wesley. You can sit down.
Wes sits next to me
Wes: I'll be by your side until the end
I smile
Judge: Well, Dear Diogo Henrique. Tell me without sparing any details what happened that night.
* I tell her everything *
Judge: Well ... I'm sorry for everything that happened. Everything you hit with what your friends said. But unfortunately we don't know if it is true that he killed himself.
Ruan: It's true, my friend doesn't lie,
Duda: True, Diogo can be many things, but he is not a liar.
Felippe: The only liar here is Cauã * quietly *
Cauã: What?
Felippe: Nothing
* Hammer hitting *
Judge: Order, order in court. It is very beautiful what they are doing for the friend. I also believe that he didn't kill Alisson. But without evidence, it is difficult. Where's the deputy?
Delegate: Here Madam
Judge: Did you have cameras at the house?
Delegate: Yes, there was.
Judge: I want to see the footage.
Delegate: I'm sorry, but we can't see the footage because you have a password. And the only one who knows is the owner of the place.
Judge: And where's the owner of the place?
Delegate: She is in a coma and we don't know when she was she will wake up.
Everyone is scared
Me: Ga-Gabi is in a coma?
* My eyes start to fall tears *
Judge: So ... Senhor Diogo, you will be arrested until Gabi wakes up, and so you can prove your freedom.
Everyone is silent
Judge: Does anyone have anything else to say?
...
Judge: Since there is no ... Diogo, I plead guilty
The door opens
Gabi's father: Esperaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Everyone is scared
Gabi's father: My daughter ... She woke up.
Everyone starts screaming and partying
Gabi's father: She sent me here to say the password to her cameras.
Wes: God is good, friend.
Judge: And what is the password?
Gabi's father: August 20, 2017
Me: Our anniversary ...
Judge: Chief, put the footage, please.
Delegate: Yes, Your Honor.
He places the footage and proves that I am innocent, but seeing that footage, I get a tight heart.
Judge: Given the circumstances, I declare Diogo Henrique souza de Lima innocent.
* Hits the hammer *
My friends start to hug and my family starts to celebrate
Judge: Diogo Henrique, I hope you continue to be the person your friends say you are.
Me: Thank you, Your Honor.
The court arrives at the end
My friends come to me
Duda: Sorry about yesterday I had a full head.
Me: Okay, the important thing is that we're fine now.
She hugs me
Me: And Luis?
Cauã: He didn't come
Thierry: I went after him, but I didn't find him.
Gabriel give me a hug
Gabriel: I knew that everything would go well, my friend.
Me: Thank you for supporting me, my friend. I don't know what I would be without you. Actually ... I don't know what I would be without you. I love you my friends.
* Everyone hugs *
Police Officer: Senhor Diogo
I look back
Me: Hello
Policeman: I came here to give you a statement
Me: What is it?
Police: Alisson's wife and daughter were in a car accident. Dona Grazielle was full of drugs, she was trying to end her life.
Me: And what happened?
Police: Fortunately only Dona Grazielle died. You will have to take care of Celeste.
