Chapter 796 Standing Before The Judge

Hearing that he was going to go to trial, Gary realized it was a serious matter. It meant right here and then, they would decide his future fate, taking in whether or not he was a criminal or not.

"Wait a second!" Gary called out. "Don't I get to have a lawyer or something? Someone who will help me fight my case. I don't even fully know what is happening; you just brought me in, I didn't resist, and now you're just going to take me to trial."

It was quite clear with the way things were going that if Gary did reach that trial stand, the verdict had already been set.

"Have you watched too many TV shows?" A large man with what looked like a giant hammer on his back started to walk forward. He was built like a giant brick house with his huge muscles on display.

It was hard to visually see his face because he had a black beard, which was graying in areas, covering nearly all of it. Seeing this man in person, Gary immediately felt intimidated; it was the first time in a while that he felt such raw power in front of him. The last time it was Midwak.

"The matter concerning Altered is extremely different due to how much threat they can have for the general public," the large man explained. On his clothing, Gary could see a badge, and he could see that it stated Chief Jones.

It was a position that was higher than that of the squad leader Kanu. Which was closer to the top of the whole White Rose operation.

'Chiefs, a couple of captains, and it looks like they have at least 10 regular Altered field agents that are surrounding me. Even if I wanted to fight my way out of this situation, it would be impossible,' Gary thought to himself.

"I wouldn't attempt to escape if I were you," John said as he looked at Gary's shifting eyes. He could see that the captive was trying to figure out a way to break out, seeing who to attack first, who would be the biggest threat. When a lot of criminals are brought in, John could see that they lost hope, they lost the will to fight, or they were filled with anger.

Although Gary's eyes seemed to be filled with anger, it was more so focus; he wasn't afraid of the situation itself; he still was trying to find a way back.

Yet Gary's crimes weren't confirmed; they were based on hearsay so far, along with some circumstantial evidence. Some courts, if it wasn't in the White Rose base, would have thrown the trial out before it even reached to this point.

So why had they been able to push so much for Gary.

They had finally reached the area; off the side of the large oval building, there was a standard Victorian styled building on the side. It had large glass plain windows that would let in a large amount of light.

This room was where all cases with the Altered to do with the White Rose went through.

They entered through the double doors, and it seemed like there were already others present in the room. Sitting in a seat at the stand was a man in a black robe and had a small mallet by his side.

Then, off to the side, there were some non-field Agent White Rose members. They had computers in front of them, as they continued to type away.

The group continued to walk until they had reached a barriered door. John and Kanu stood side by side next to Gary. While half of the Altered that came with them stood behind Gary and the other half went to stand in front between the judge and himself.

"The trial for the person Gary Dem, an Altered in our society, will now commence," the judge stated.
