When the doorbell ring's at three in the morning, it's never any good news. I was woken up by the first chime. My eyes flickered open but for a moment I stayed completely still in my bed, lying on my back with my head resting on the soft pillow I heard a bedroom door creak, it was probably the house keeper, Nikkii. She went downstairs, moaning and telling hersel 'I wonder what this is about', the bell rang the second time, and I turned over to look at my alarm clock glowing besides me, It was 3. 02 a.m. There was a small rattle as Nikkii slid the security chain off the front door.
I rolled out of bed and walked over to the open window, I looked out breathing in the fresh air. The sky was gloomy but beautiful at the same time. I took a deep breath, and looked down. To find a police car. Paed directly outside my house. I was fourteen back then, already well built with muscles. I had a body of a athlete, like I do now. My hair was fair, two thick strands of hair hung on my forhead. My eyes were brown, and serious. My skin tone was mixed race, as it is now. For a moment I stood silently, and tip toed, my feet pressing on the carpet pile. I turned around, and walked towards the door. And heard the door open, I hid behind the shadow's, and looked over. The two policemen took off there hats, and asked if they could come in. I looked puzzled and confussed. I slowly walked downstairs, to see what was being said. Sadly I didn't hear much, the only word I heard was, accident, we called the ambulance, I am very sorry. As they said very sorry, my heart went. And immediatley I knew who had died. At that time I was living with my uncle Dan who was pretty wealthy, owning a car company and fighting club. But why would a group of people want to kill him? What has he done? Is he a murderer himself. I paused, wondering what was happening. Meanwhile, the police were lead out the front door.
I walked downstairs, and went into the front room. To see Nikkii resting her head on the sofa. While watching some highlights of Match of the day. I walked in the room, silently and I sat next to Nikkii. She looked at me, and smiled. She looked tired and depressed. She was quite young, about the age of twenty six I would say. She had long blonde hair, going down to her [i]shoulders. Always knew what to wear, she had amazing fashion sense and humor. i took a deep breath, and asked her.
''So, what happened''..
''Your uncle had been involved in a car accident, when he was coming back from work. His car was killed by a lorry, which smashed his car purposely the police man said. He said they are trying to investigate who done this. He was almost instantly dead, as the ambulance arrived, it was to late. His pulse had stop working, blood was popping out of his head. Constantly, I'm very sorry Matt. Poor you, having to expeirence this.''
I looked a bit like my uncle. But he was a darker shade of black. We both had the same eys, and a bit of the same nose. Nikkii put her arm around me, I smiled and asked her.
''So, what will happen now. Will I have to move back in with my mum, or something. And what will happen to you. Whats going to happen to this house..? I exclaimed
She shrugged ''I guess he may of made a wil, and we will have to follow his instructions. But don't worry kid, I can assure you I will not be going anywhere. You got that.
I smiled at her, she really cheered me up. I wasn't that depressed to be honest i wasn't even depressed at all. The day dragged on, and the only question in my mind was why would they want to kill my uncle. Is not like his a secret spy that has just stolen a gadget from the goverment. I hadn't even went school, even though i really wanted to to see my mates and get on with my life. Minutes later, I was playing my Nintendo 64. Nikkii took me out for burger king, where we were to have a beast of a meal. While she was eating her burger, the phone rang and she place the burger besides her, and looked at the phone. She quietley said, ''the police!'' I dropped my burger, wanting to hear what they were talking about.
''Hello, Nikkii is speaking.... Oh, okay. Intresting... So what will happen to Matt. Really? .. Its all mine.. Nice. Yeah. I got it thanks.. So, will he be getting arested? Okay, thanks. Bye.''
As Nikkii said arrested, my mouth opened, and my eyebrow's rised up. Nikkii told me to shut my mouth, otherwise I will get flies in there. After I closed my mouth, Nikkii excitingly told me..
''Well, Matt. They have found the killer of your uncles death. He is a middle aged man. Very, very tall I think he said six foot eight, he is pale and he has already been in jail before. The police are questioning him, now at this very moment. And also, you asked about the house..''
''Well, it seems like we will be keeping the house after all. Your mother will be coming to stay with us for a few days, so is your brother Robbie. But your sister and Tyrone will be staying at home. And toy can stay with me.''
I smiled, and then picked up my pepsi and drunk it down me. My eyes lit up, in excitement. And then suddenly, it went down.
''So, Is there going to be a court verdict or something along the terms?''
''Yes, there is going to be one. They are going to do the first trial, later on this week. About 11: 45 PM, at Detroit Standwell Court. Okay? We will be arriving there a bit early though.''
I nodded my head, and took a deep breath. We left burger king, both finishing our meals. As the days went by, the day had finally came. Judgement day was finally upon us. I was dressed in a snazzy suite, and, I cut my hair. And put pattens on it, and a picture of bugs bunny on the top of it. We arrived at Standwell Court.
