Chapter Nine

The day started off normally enough; the Semester was over, and it was winter in Boston. Gregory didn’t bring his backpack to work that day and he left jogging at a faster pace to keep warm. He ran through the park and turned into the alley between the buildings. It was already dark, and the temperature was dropping fast. He arrived at the end of the alley and heard a scream. He made the turn and saw a man had wrapped his arm around another man’s neck and bent him over backwards. He raised a huge knife above his head and prepared to slam it into the man’s chest he was holding. Gregory didn’t think; he rushed up behind the attacker and hit him in back of the head with a fist. The man’s arms fell, he dropped the knife, and collapsed to the pavement. Gregory fell on top of him and looked up at the man and two women beside him, “RUN, I’LL HOLD HIM DOWN! RUN NOW!!”

The younger woman lowered her cell phone as a police cruiser came roaring down and two officers jumped out of the vehicle with raised Tasers. One officer ran up, saw Gregory lying on top of the attacker, and saw the huge knife laying next to them. He instantly shot Gregory in the back; everything went black as Gregory convulsed in spasms.

He regained consciousness and opened his eyes. He was lying on a cot and saw that he was in a jail cell. He raised an arm and saw he was wearing a green jumpsuit. He closed his eyes and knew that everything he had done was wasted and out the window. He had violated the terms of his probation by attacking a citizen; the man he hit was not wearing a collar. The terms made it clear that harming a private citizen for any reason was a violation. He took a deep breath and felt his tears start. Lt. Jiles entered his cell and Gregory looked up at him, “I’m so sorry I’ve disappointed you.”

Jiles put a hand on Gregory’s shoulder, “When I learned what happened, I came immediately. You have not disappointed me and I’m here to speak on your behalf.”

Gregory stood up and squared his shoulders, “Thank you.”

Jiles nodded and said, “It’s time to go.”

The Senior Judge entered the courtroom from a back door and looked at the Judge sitting on the bench, “Get out!”

“But this is my shift!”

“I’m not telling you again and if you don’t want to be assigned to the last shift you better start moving.” The judge got up and left the room. The Senior Judge took his seat and turned to a police officer, “I’ve just received a call from a reporter that something’s going on here.”

“Yes, Your Honor.”

The Judge looked at the clock and saw it was a quarter ‘til seven, “What’s going on?”

“Last night the Mayor and his family were physically attacked by a man wielding a large knife.
