Read chapter 25 or start from the beginning
Chapter 26
Outside the courthouse, I could hear the rain pounding. My lawyer said parking lots were flooded.
Inside the courthouse, my handcuffs were as cold and hard as the rain outside. I sat before the judge, ready for my verdict.
“I hearby declare the defendant not guilty in the murder of Dempsey Baynart.”
My restraints were removed and I bolted from the courtroom. Brogan’s face lit, his arms wide as he leaped from Ione’s lap and into my arms.
“Mommy’s secret worked.”
“It did, buddy. He thought that big baby doll was you”
Ione approached me smiling. “Let’s get back to Nova Scotia, shall we?”
I couldn’t wait.
Not to be continued…
I hope you liked the journey. This is the last chapter of this series. It ran for 26 chapters. I highly encourage you to start at the beginning. Our character had quite an adventure. This was a fun challenge I posed to myself. Thank you Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for hosting these photo prompts. I will continue to write my Saturday prompts, they just won’t be connected. A HUGE thanks to all who have been following!

I’m sad that Dempsey had to die, but really it was the only way. Happy mom and son are now safe and happy.

It was pretty inevitable, it would seem… He took every opportunity to be an %$@#! rather than do what was right.

He was kinda like the macho jerk who never moved past his drunken college days.
