A trial has to happen, The witnesses proir to this were slain as was the felons.

THE HIT ON THE COURTHOUSE
CHAPTER 1
“General Genove Mitrica, it appears that they have been made aware of the dangers that they faced going to trial! They have no choice but they have to be there,” the attorney general said as he looked at me.

“I know, nothing had happened to the people in the hq. I saw to that happening here! No one would dare to attack the hq of a military establishment. This I knew for a fact, that it would not happen there,” I said as I was awaiting the others to arrive in my study. I was fearful of what could happen to the witnesses, and the felons, this time they were in my place. Within my security of the house nothing could go wrong. No one would dare to attack them.

I did know, that the other witnesses and felons were killed before they got to the trial. By who we did not know. They were snuffed out like rats before the slaughter. None of them lived. The safe houses have been compromised by who we did not know. The only people who knew where they were were within my study.

We did not know who sold us out. We had no bodies there of the enemy, or who could be the enemy for that matter. Power had gone out at the site where the witnesses were. The power going out, seemed to be the sign that they were there.

“I want to know, what is being done about these beings who are trying to stop the trial from happening,” Abrams grumbles
as I shot him a look that would have turned him to ice.

“You know damn well what has happened to the other trials we’re supposed to have made happen! You know what has happened don’t you,” Captain Sam Sincler said as she looked at him, she remembered his looking at the photos, his brow was damp with sweat. His hands trembled as he lifted them up to see the true scene that was on the poloirod film. “I saw your reaction to the photos you were looking at. They frightened you didn’t they?’ She lifted her glass of vodka to her pink lips. There was scar on her cheek from a knife’s edge.

“The houses where they were have been attacked. The security was mine; and mine alone here. The trial has been brought to the attention of the world by the military tribunal of which I support,” I declared, hearing a car arrive on the lot. I knew I would have to wait for the person to get here.

“The evidence was such that a few members deny it exist. That is why we are trying to have the tribunal show the evidence to the world. The thing was that these houses were hit with such procession that was as if they were given the addresses of these houses without question. It was done executed as if they were with military procession.”

The houses were numerous in various cities and on various continents, but only we where they were located. So, it has to be one of us who had done this,” Palter, a civilian liaison, said as he drew up his cigar to take another lung full of smoke into it.

"We can argue all night long, but it won’t change anything. You know I have been assigned to keep the trial in order for it to happen by General Mica of the Earthers of which we all are supported by the military might we have on Earth," I said as lifted my glass of whiskey to my crimson lips, the drink was needed as we were all waiting for the information to be brought to our eyes. I wished that I could relax and take it easy, but knew I could ill afford to do this.

The door opened, the room was large enough to accommodate the eight of us, shrouded in darkness but the surface of the table to show each of us to each other and what was upon it. In strode, Master sergeant Jazz as he lifted a manila envolope into view he eased it open, he poured out the pictures which were in color. Showing the burned bodies of the guards there in vivid color. He blanched upon seeing these shots. His hand shook, as the photos spilled out onto the table.

That had been made of the rooms, where the witnesses and the felons had been held to be taken to the court. It showed the burned bodies of the guards, it looked as if they were being prepared for cremation. The bodies in the armor where they were with a hole in the armor about the size of a quarter, This hole was all that found of their demise. Their bodies were covered in blisters and boils. The blood boiled in their veins which burst showering the bodies with blood.

There was an odd object there that we could not make heads nor tails of. It looked as if it had two peddles, and cylinder in its middle, with what maybe handlebars and a seat there, There were one of these things found there. The rooms had huge gaping holes in walls, chard residue littered the surface of the walls.

A few of us lost our lunches upon seeing these photos. I did not look at the photos. I had seen them before had enough nightmares seeing them before hand. Some of the people had not seen the photos. These people believed we were lying about what we saw in the photos.

We knew that we needed to have the trial commence. There were suspicions that perhaps a race from outer space was responsible for these products to arrive here. I was afraid that whoever wanted to stop this tribunal from occurring would do something now. When we wanted to bring in witnesses to hold the tribunal now. I swore to the general that it would happen. I knew it would
####
“The witnesses' safehouses were breached, we realized this as the security's bodies were found burned to a cinder that was a dead give away that someone knew where they were. How had this happened we could not fathom an answer to this, ” Major William Pranson said, as he looked at the photos, he wore glasses an inch thick lenses.

“This is that nonsense you’ve been trying to tell us this happened. It a lie, you have made false photos to suggest that this has happened in these houses, Then you're going to accuse one of us to have done this to them,” Second luietenant

Robert Pincester said as he slammed his fist on the table, he was build like a heavy weight fighter.

“The information was given to the drivers by a code which we set up each day, it was different each time it was sent out,” I said as I lifted my cigar to my pained lips.

"These houses were supposed to be unknown to everyone, but us," I said as I looked at the Captain Sonder Micar; he had broad shoulders’; a few of us here imagined he carried the world on his shoulders. I eased myself back into my chair after looking at him.

"Yet these houses were attacked," Major Mikyta said.

“We scrambled our cars there, but we were too late to stop it from happening," Micar said as he made a bridge with his hands as though to say this was it.

"The power on these buildings vanished as did the other buildings on these streets. The military police raced toward these houses, they knew that they had better arrive there in a hurry. We did not know who gave the information away," Major Terrance Timmons said as he looked into my eyes.

"The persons who attacked these house did not taken any damage from the people who were protecting them. As we did not find any residue from them. Not even a cell had come off them. We had descriptions of the assassin, but they did not make too much sense to us,' Micar said as he looked away, he heard the sound of a car driving into the lot.

These were members of my military tribunal discussing the matters before them. They had to be able to protect the people testifying on our behalf. The way that the individuals who were to be defended by us. It seemed as if they knew where they were. Without a question. The attacks that were made on them. It was as if they had no concern about what we were trying to do. The bodies were found in the houses, the doors were a jar. Whoever went there knew about everything. The computers that were set up to watch over them were turned off. It was as if there was a huge electric storm that rattled the house. The guards were killed with the greatest of ease.

"The guards were shot as they walked to the house or so we believed. The reason I say we believe is because we did not see them walk upstairs. The cameras trained on this street shut off before the guards got there. In less than a heartbeat security would be there. The bodies were set ablaze in the houses. The witnesses and the defendants were gone."

"How?" Captain Mal said, as he shifted the photos in front of her, her hair was in braids that fell across her shoulders. She shrugged her shoulders as if she had nothing to worry about. It wasn't her head on the platter, it was mine.

"That is the question I want answered," I snarled, imagining my hands on the person who dared ask this question.

"How could this have happened?" Sara said as she watched Jazz step away from Gyro before his hand could catch his on his ring, with sharp edges to it. Sara winced, and grit her teeth.

"We do not know. Do we? That's why we are here isn't it!" ,Gyro said as he glared at Jazz as he hefted the photos into the air.

But we were sure that the people we were bringing to this trial would not be stopped as they were held in our HQ. The guards had been tripled. They knew that they would have to be willing to die to protect them from being found. I lifted my glass of whiskey to drink, it set my mouth a blaze as it tore down my throat.

Someone knew where the witnesses were? But how? I did not know, I had taken a seat in the room with them. The house stank of alcohol and perfume and cigarette smoke in this room, it wasn’t hot. The table was mahogany. There was a map of the cities where these trial had been held, there were tacks representing the houses that have been attacks made. It was comfortably heated, my friends knew what task was before them and what they must do to protect the trial.

The quiet hung about our necks like an anvil pulling down into the quagmire that we were immersed in.

The deaths of our witnesses, the safehouses which were blown or must have been if we were to judge by what we had found there instead of the bodies of the dead. Burned, or beaten to death or shot to death.

There were now eight of us to discuss these matters. Involving the matter before us. How could they have known where the people were?

No one, but our group knew where they were. We wanted to keep it that way. So, the only people who were aware were us than we would be able to protect them. And if someone attacked then it would have to be us that have given them away.

I knew each of us wanted to protect the witnesses. That these witnesses and the defendants were aware of who they were working for.

The person who they were working for had been trying to orchestrate the control over our people and the planets whom we support. We understood that this person wielded a lot of power.

People we wanted to see and have them tried for their crimes vanished as if they were but a ghost. When we arrived, their homes were empty. It seemed as if we were chasing ghosts. Evidence simply vanished like smoke from a lit cigarette leisurely consuming its source. We were concerned about this happening.

We needed the trial to happen, the people held here. Would make it to the trial. I doubted anyone would dare to do anything with them now. The people who opposed this trial hadn’t shown their faces yet. Today the trial would begin.

CHAPTER 2

I woke with a start, I flung the comforter off my body and looked at the clock to see that it said,”11.00”. I was wearing a corset with lace cups. Last night was fun with Janice! God, the things she could do with her body. I reached climax as she worked her magic on my body.

I had to get to the laptop now. To see if the security had been able to start the drive to the courthouse. I had to see what was happening. I prayed it would work. Looked promising so far. What could go wrong? I questioned as I saw them enter the carriers.

I saw the soldiers walking into the armored personal carrier. The soldiers seemed at ease. I smiled, thinking nothing could go wrong! The bases are covered, the empire would be able to call the game. With ease.

The troops stepped inside the armored personnel carrier, it had a machine gun at the top of the carrier, with a man manning the gun, there were three armored personal carriers moving through the gates of the HQ. The entrance way was without anything to stop them from going through this way. I looked at the scene, nothing looked wrong there. Nothing happened I was relieved.

The entrance way was without anything to stop them from going through through this way.

I walked toward my coffee maker, turned it on. I poured a cup of coffee, the steam rose from the cup, put cream into my cup, and some sugar. My lover did not like cream, she was gone to work already. She was a shining light in my life. The laptop was carrying the feed that the world would see now showing the street seeing several officers there one was in plain clothed officer named Jena Cuta others dressed in armor watching the street.

Seeing a woman carrying a briefcase. She dropped it. I watched her for the moment. She flashed a smile to Jena. Her hair was platinum blonde to her elbows in length. She wore a white satin blouse with a red sequenced thigh length skirt.

We wanted the people to see this trial. It would clear up the matter that hung about our necks. The people were able to see the evidence we had on the felons who were to be tried here. I smiled. Why had she drop the case. She was moving quickly away.

Another shapely woman knelt down. She wore a micromini silver skirt, and black sequin tube top with a red jacket.. She opened the case. Lifted the launcher, put the launcher to her shoulder.

An armored soldier John der Kock fired at her. The beam caught her on the chest. She did not seem to notice this happening?

“What happened? I pulled the trigger didn’t I?” , he said as he flipped the switch to activate the safety on the rifle.

The launcher was held steady. She fired the launcher. The explosion should have driven her backwards head over heels, but she didn’t move an inch.

A security officer armor lifted his laser rifle to shoot her, when he saw her do this. The laser hit her on the breast. She should have fallen. But she still stood there as if nothing happened. I think I saw a flash of grey where the laser touched her. Blood should have been pouring from the wound. No blood stained her blouse.

There was something wrong with what I saw. There should not have been anything grey on her body should there? It did not make sense to me. Perhaps she was an android.That did nor make sense. I stared at the woman as she rose from where she knelt. She dropped the launcher into the bag hoisted it up and carried it with her.

“I shot her! I tell you! She hasn’t fallen! What the hell is going on here!” ,I heard his voice over the communicator.

The officer did not take an instant to fire upon her. He stood there staring at her. She moved with such grace that was unimaginable. It was almost as if she turned and raced down the sidewalk as if the laser hadn’t hit her.

“What the hell is the laser working?” , he said as he pointed at something to shot at. He pressed the trigger and the object now had a hole in it where the beam struck it.

A plain clothed officer drew up his machine pistol to fire a suppressive barrage at the other woman who had just arrived at the door. The bullets struck her, he and I witnessed her blouse shift per each bullet striking her. The bullets should drive her from her feet to the ground. She did not move so much as a muscle in reaction to the bullets. The bullets should have
tore through body. They were armor piercing rounds.

The officer said,”What the devil is happening. I know I hit her. I saw the blouse jerk with each bullet.”

I snarled, “Damn it!”

Ground my teeth. I was frightened upon seeing this happen. It made a little sense until I saw this. The beings are unable to be stopped by bullets and laser fire. That defied common sense.

Glaring at the screen, I swung my fist. I trembled a bit.

I waited a moment as the woman stepped inside the store. The customers and the staff looked horrified at her. Their mouths hung agape. Some even pointed at her. Another soldier lifted his pistol to point at her.

She smiled and sauntered toward him, she closed her hand about his pistol barrel crushing it in her hands.

The officer tried to fire at her, the bullet tore out into the air missing her. She broke his arm, throwing aside. Crashed through the glass window to arrive on the street. He dived to the ground

The other woman arrived there as well in less than an instance.

Jena hefted up her firearm. She knelt down to fire at them as they raced toward the escalator. The officer fired. The women did not notice it.

They went down to the basement. Charging toward where the street met the building. The customers were shoved out of the way.

The officers chased after them. They lost them in this cloud. I said,”Turn on your ultra violet visor and see what you can see? Belter turn on your Infrared visor.”

I saw through the visor of the plains clothed officer, nothing other than violet light showing what was before him. There were images of dust rising across the room. There should have been an image of three of them as they advanced toward this area.

“They’re not there?” he said.

Belter looked at the region where they had run. He saw three balls of red where their heads should have been on their bodies. He should see where their core was, it would look like a yellow hue, but it wasn’t there. It did not make sense, the ir should have shown the area.

I could see both of the images from their visors. None of it made sense, there should not hav e been a cloud of dust in the air. There should be a wall where they were headed. The other people in the basement looked about in confusion.They raced away from the officers as they moved toward the street.

I closed my fist, glaring at the screen. I did not know how the two women could be still standing much less moving. It did not make sense, They should’ve been killed. How could they still be a live.

I wanted to find out what had happened. I was watching through the visors of the two soldiers there. Running after the two women who ran through the cloud of white powder. I did not know where they had gone. There should not have been anything beneath the street there.

“What the hell is that?” The plain clothed one said as he looked at them race through the cloud of dust.

“I think it is a rail car!” The other officer said as he fell to his knees, to lift up a grenade launcher to fire it at them.

“A Rail! There shouldn’t be any there?” I exclaimed as I watched the grenade explode before them both. The grenade should have cut their skin to ribbons. The shrapnel hit them, but it did not go anywhere to impede them.

Another voice came over the communicator, It was MIcMicheal he was a brilliant officer, his right hand was cybernetic, having lost that in a fight. “What do you mean a rail? There is no rail cars that have gone through the area/

“Well. that was what I see here?” The armored officer said as he raced toward the rail.

It was a wall of earth, that was just beyond the walls of the store that was there. Yet I saw the two people running beneath the store’s front. I was puzzled as I watched them race a way from the security force there.

From what I saw, there was a vast area beneath the store that was before them. My ears heard a sound coming from where they were. It sounded like one of the monorail cars was moving there. There was no way a monorail could be here. There was no way that the monorail cars could be there.

I saw a violet object ahead of them as they raced toward it. I saw a white light appear in the vast enclosure there. It was about twelve feet above the ground, beneath four feet that would be the possible rail of the monorail that should not be there.

The rail began to move away.

The security fired at the rail and the red balls that rose above the rail, and was inside the rail cars. Their bullets and laser beams did not do anything to it. The armored officer threw grenades at the car. The did not reach it. Exploding in the area where they were showering the area with shrapnel from the grenades.
