Chapter 10 - The King's Choice

Thereafter, Jimmy entered the police station just to give them all a shit show if they couldn't provide his Mum this time again, he walked up to the Police and requested to see Mrs. Jane Johns on a high tone demand but was denied of seeing her, he was asked if he had any letter to send to her since he couldn't get to see her, so, he has to write one, While writing he was interogated, so as to be sure he's not one of Mrs. Jane Johns gang member, but he had to tell them "I'm her her son, tell her the letter was written by Jimmy Johns his son", but the police officer collect the letter and said quietly to him "do you know your mum is a hardernd criminal? Now that we've got her, there's no turning back, and you shouldn't be seen on the street" and he opened the letter as he reads loudly

Hello Mum, I'm writing this letter to you cause this is the only way I could've communicate with you, and to know How you're doing?, Don't worry i'll try and call some friends to get a lawyer, Just hang in there, don't die on me, I've missed you a lot.

Yours sincerely,

Jimmy Johns.

"Wow, what a quick composer, now face the camera to verify your face as well as your thumbprint, it won't be hard to get you arrested the next time she goes missing" the police man concluded.

Surely, now he's now more afraid to ever visit the Police Station, Jim, remembered when Vera Morrison told him a policeman killed her mum and was about to cry facing the camera for capturing, but he actually busted into tears while the policeman captured him like that, he mocked Jim and said "You know, interviewing you is one of my best experience, let me guess your age cause you look 20 already, WTF!, my capturing actually made a 20 year old dude cry" as he laughed uncontrollable, but Jimmy replied him while drying up his wet face "I'm only 18 year old, so why're you crying harder than me!?" He left the capturing centre and went to have his sit, to also confirm the letter was gonna reach her to be brief, so, the policeman came out and told him "Hey, Savage18, you might loose it while fighting for a criminal justice" but Jimmy replied and said "My mum doesn't even look like the criminal here on the TV, a freelancer surrender after missing from under your custody, look, I think i'm teaching you your job, Just think!" as he left the Police Station in anger. The Policemen that were present at the situation were supprised at Jim's pep talk. So, they rewinded and saved the moment as they forward it to the department that is charge of Mrs. Jane Johns case.

Although, Mr. Garry Johns was released on the call on the Boss but now he doesn't have the freedom to go anywhere and walk the street as he used to so he sent his son a mail, as a matter of fact that's not usual, but Jimmy was home that evening, around 5:00pm when he say the old man that distribute papers down the road, as he dropped the letter on their mailbox swiftly, there's a signal also connected to it inside of the house to give mail notification, they ranged once and stopped, while Jimmy was anticipating to know what the old man had dropped, he rushed to check the mailbox as he found a letter.

THE LETTER

"Hey Jimmy, when I was a boy like you, I faced a lot of problematic situation but none of them seems to be like this, I know what you're going through right, I know you would disagree with that, I was only tryna get justice all by myself and that actually landed me in this situation, so, I wouldn't be coming home for days (I don't how many of the days it'll take me) but I need you to stay strong, don't force the vibe that led me here, I won't disclose my location so you cause anymore trouble just be calm things will surely gather again."

Yours Sincerely,

Garry Johns.

After reading the letter, Garry assumes his son (Jimmy), should be relieved for the moment which worked, after reading the letter Jimmy sighed of relief that he is safe and sound, wherever he might be and he said "1 of 2, certainly one more to go" he said "I need to get a response from her as well she's not looking well when she was arrested" as he soliloquies, he heard someone knocking the door, so he peeped through the cotton but he lost concentraion about the person knocking and was carried away when he saw a blue that loaded amunition in and out at Verizon Newspapers Company Plc. that day at the newspaper company, he sensed it quickly that they were trying to tail the letter his father (Mr. Garry Johns) sent to him that evening and maybe they didn't get it, cause the old man did the mailing on a bicycle and it was very fast like he learnt basketball game while he was much younger, so he checked the door again through peeping after several knocking, when he discovered the person knocking was actually Vera (Morrison), she already looked frustrated and was about to leave cause she was gonna enter freely only if she hadn't grew hate for Mr. Garry Johns that day, so she suggests he might be home, but Jimmy pullles her back as fast as he could also timing the car while the driver's attention was driven away.

Nevertheless, Vera (Morrison) was not pleased at his strange move, but to be brief he tried to explain things to Vera (Morrison) but no one would understand Jimmy Johns right now, everything seems twisted, he showed Vera (Morrison) the letter he got from his Dad, so Vera (Morrison) figured out a plan, since the principal (Mr. Nicole Hopkinson) to help him talk to the police just to have some conversation with Mrs. Jane Johns (Jimmy's Mum), as they both agreed to stick to the plan.

Although, Jimmy never returned to school ever since the Bully incident against Harry Benison cause he has crossed line more than before, so, he planned his route no to even have contact with Harry or any of his gang, well well, prevention is better than cure anyways, but this planned didn't fail untill Vera (Franklin) came across him and rushed to help him with his bag, at this moment he knew he just fucked up, cause every other member of Johns family are wanted as suspect of serious crime, so many questions he doesn't have answers to, so, there came so many people who showed sympathy for him and by now the rumours has spread to reach Harry Benison that the sick boy is now well, Jimmy was carried away in the midst of his colleagues who was asking various questions when Harry drag him back with his shirt, stared at Jimmy for a while and stretched out his arms as he said "Welcome back to school, Sick boy" Jimmy felt remorse but had no choice but to have the handshake and replied him "It's a pleasure", as Harry and his gang laughed sarcastically at him and left him there, only Vera (Franklin) was there with him still holding on to his bag, she tapped Jimmy and said "Let's go", he felt resumed back to his body and moved immediately and headed straight to the principal office as he would walk past Harry and his gang nervously and they laughed him out again.

However, Vera (Morrison) was already in the principal's office discussing the situation, so, Principal Hopkinson let him in at the very first glance, as the Principal addresses Jimmy Johns as "Jim the Genius", he welcomed him and added "Have your sit, there you go", he continued "You wanna why I addressed you as that "Jim the Genius" right?!" Jimmy nodded to respond "Yes" then the Principal said "You're the best student of this academy this year, You had "A's" all through you offered subjects, in exception of Economics but anyways you had C" but Jimmy opened his mouth wide cause it's full of surprise, but the Principal concluded his speech as he said "You only have one rival, which happens to be Veracious Charles who had the same scored as yours but in Economics she had E while you had C, you're still the champ boy, I'm happy a guy got it this time". Meanwhile, Jimmy was happy hear that name again "Veracious Charles" cause if only we should place the difference it means on certain person wrote both examination but failed to complete her own which made her fall short of her own marks, he was driven away in thought when Vera (Morrison) who was present there pinched Jimmy before he could hear the principal again. So, the principal stood up from his seat as he walked towards Jimmy's seat and lay his left arm on Jim's right shoulder as he said to Jimmy, "In the midst of troubles in your family you still managed to get "A's", that's determination for me, I can hear it on the news everyday and the show you gave the policemen at the police station which was leaked to social media was also great, I think you deserve the attention you crave for", smiles splashed into laughter at this moment and the overjoyed Jimmy couldn't help it but to laugh out loud, so, the principal took off his hand from Jim's shoulder as he was returning to his sit, he told Jimmy to meet him at the police station by 8:00am on the following morning as Jimmy jumped up from his seat as ran to pick his bag from the classroom to head home.
