Part One Chapter Five

Previously

I let Justin down and he was very shaky on his legs.

I said in my own voice, “Justin give it up or next time time you try to hurt me you will not be able to walk away.”

He said, “Smith, what are you?”

I said “I told you last night that it's my uncle's spirit that is in me, so give it up or you will get hurt and I won't care.”

With that he walked slowly down to where Terry was waiting to take him to the principal's office. All the students then put their things in their lockers and went to their classrooms, ten minutes late.

~~~~~~oooo00000oooo~~~~~~

Justin and his stupid brother Dave were escorted to the principal's office by Terry, my teacher and two other teachers that were called by the other students when all the yelling started. I followed a little bit further back. When we got half way to the principal's office there were two police officers coming through the front gates of the school which made everyone stop and wait till they reached us.

One of the cops said, “Who is in charge here?”

Terry said, “I suppose I am for the moment. Would you like to take over taking these two imbeciles to the main office? I have to see if I can retrieve the tapes I put in the video camera that I set up yesterday to catch these guys in the act.”

The cop said, “You knew this was going to happen this morning?”

Terry replied, “I had a fair idea that Justin and his brother were going to try and get even with Jason here, yes!”

The cop said, “Ok, you get the tapes and bring them to the office so we can see what transpired in the locker room.”

The other two teachers went to go and sort out their classes for the day but as they were about to leave the cop that seemed to be in charge said, “Did you two witness the event or did you both come on the scene later?”

The two teachers really didn't want be involved any further so they both said that they came after all the excitement was over, which wasn't true but I can understand why they said it.

Then the cop that hadn't said anything so far said to me, “And are you the one these guys attacked?”

I replied, “Yeah I am, and they have been trying to get even with me for a couple of days now.”

The cop said, “Ok, when we get these goons settled in the office and have a look at the evidence that's hopefully on the tapes, we will ask you what this is all about.”

We all arrived at the office, and the principal was standing behind his desk and said to the cops, “Thanks for turning up so quickly.”

The cop replied, “That's what we get paid to do.” Justin and his brother weren't saying much with the cops being there but I could see Justin glaring at me.

Justin and Dave were made to sit side by side with the cop that seemed to be in charge standing behind the chairs the brothers were sitting on.

That cop said, “Right, I'm Bill and this is my partner Joe. I will ask some questions and I want straight answers, do you boys understand?”

I said “Yes sir,” but Justin just ignored the cop and shrugged his shoulders and mumbled to himself about what I did to him in the locker room.

Bill the cop said one more time to the boys, “Did you hear what I just said?”

Dave sat there like the dummy that he is, and shrugged his shoulders again, but Justin started to get up from his chair and leap in my direction saying “This pansy is a fucking freak and I’m going to kill him.” but the cop was quick enough to grab Justin by his shirt and told him to sit down or he would cuff him.

By this time Terry had come back with the tape from the camera in the hall and also the tape from yesterday as well. He set the machine up to show the tape on a large monitor they had in the principals office.

Terry proceeded to put the tape in the player and then turned it on. The first part was of yesterdays episode in the principals office , Terry must have used the same tape in the camera to tape this mornings events. Once that was finished the next scene was the locker room and me walking in with my my back-pack and being confronted by Justin and his brother Dave. It was all very clear what was said and then as Justin pulled the large knife out to lung at me the knife went flying out of his hand as though someone had actually grabbed his hand but you could not see it on the tape. Everyone was watching the monitor and Justin said, “I told you he's a freak.”

The cop said, “Just shut up till we see all of the tape”

The tape rolled on and it showed me picking Justin up like he didn't weigh any more than a rag doll, that’s when the cop said, “Stop the tape and rewind it to where this guy picks him up.” pointing at Justin. Terry did as he was told by the copper and rewound the tape and let it roll once more and the cop said, “Has the machine got a slow motion setting on it?”

Terry said, “Yeah sure.”

The cop said, “Well what are you waiting for!! Roll the tape in slow motion and pause it when I tell you.”

Terry started the tape again in slow mode. It was strange to watch because the sound was also affected and it was almost like watching a time warp movie.

Anyway the cop waited till the part where I picked up Justin and held him up against the wall when he told Terry to pause the tape.

The cop said to the principal, “Can you print out any of that on your computer?”

“Sure, which frame do you want?”

The cop replied “Where it is now and about ten more further along”

Mr Blake said, “Terry, do what the officer wants and print out anything else he might want as well.”

Terry replied, “Ok but resolution won't be all that great.”

The cop answered. “Let me worry about that.” and then Terry rolled the tape once more.

The cop that seemed to be in charge said to me, “Son are you for real?”

I said, “Yeah, and so is my Uncle Albert’s spirit.”

The cop looked at Justin and said “How could you have the strength to lift this heap of shit, let alone hold him in mid air without even looking like your straining any muscles for Gods sake?”

I replied, “My great uncle Albert's spirit just seems to take over my whole being and I become super strong.”

The cop said, “Kid, if you can do that why are these two wankers still picking on you?”

Mr Blake the principal, answered before I could say anything, “Because young Jason here showed them up for what they are and they are the laughing stock of the school.”

Justin made an attempt to get up and take a swipe at me but Bill the op pushed him to the ground and put a set of cuffs on him and the second cop did the same to his brother Dave so they couldn't cause too much more trouble.

The cop in charge said to me,”Ok kid, I’m taking these two in and writing up the charges, and I want you to come down town to make a full statement so we can get this all sorted out.”

I replied, “What about school?”

The cop said “Shit kid, someone has just attempted to kill you and all you can think of is school!!”

I looked at the principal and he said, “Jason, you go with them and get it sorted and I will call your Mum. She may want to join you at the police station.”

When we got to the station I said, “Can I call my Mum? I want her to be here when I give you guys the statement.” The sargeant at the front counter said he had already dispatched a car to pick Mum up to bring her down to the station.

Twenty minutes later Mum walked in the front door of the station and said, “Jason are you ok dear?”

I replied “Yeah Mum, thanks to Uncle Albert.”

To be continued .

Next time the interview and the press.

Jason needs to stop saying

Raff01's picture

The his Uncle is helping him. That is a great way to end up in a funny farm. Kinda wondering why the cop wanted stills of Jason lifting the bully. I mean why not get stills of the bully with a knife while he was at it?

BIG unanswered Q, WHY?

Why is uncle helping?

Why is his spirit still on Earth?

And as this IS BC, was the uncle or is our hero TG? Or some friend of his?

What is the uncle's task that he has to do to go onto the afterlife?

Just saving the boy from bullies doesn;t seem enough. What is he attoning for?

Getting Angry

Will Uncle Albert or perhaps Aunt Alberta get angry with Jason for invoking his name and identity? I would suppose that the spirit might want to be anonymous and not bring "Ghostbusters" to the cemetary. Will the spirit leave Jason to his tormentors? Invoking an old term, "Only The Shadow Knows"!.
Of course a good story.

This Could Backfire On Jason

joannebarbarella's picture

Pictures of Jason picking up Justin in the hands of a good defending lawyer could paint Jason as the bully and Justin the terrified victim only using the knife to defend himself,

Joanne

which is why

I can not understand why the cop only wanted pictures of Jason, not the true bully

Will this cause an influx of those with a supernatural bent?

Thank you Roo,

Love this little story,Jason and Uncle are a force to be reckoned
with but I can't see them as being bent,they seem quite natural to me.
I just hope that the cops do their home work with the evidence.
