Greg Finch had pushed his empty tray which once held his breakfast through a slot in his cell so a prison guard could collect it. This was finally the day that he would be arraigned for his involvement in the murder of Odilia. He knew he would get some time locked up but he wanted to try and squeeze out of it. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYr5qaaEjU
Greg looked around his cell at the gray cemented walls and he wondered what went wrong. He was a good kid growing up; an A, B, student, loved art and appreciated his family. But what happened? What switch was turned off? He wasn’t even sure himself. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbxTPyTxfz
A few hours later, one of the guards called out his name “Finch! Get your stuff ready we’re heading out in five minutes.” Greg smiled to himself as he tried to look as presentable as he could. He fixed his hair in the small mirror in his cell then brushed his teeth. Five minutes on the dot the prison guard arrived back to his cell, handcuffed him and led him to the transportation van then Greg was headed off to court.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThRBlUN9BO

“The State of Pennsylvania for Odilia Zink versus Greg Finch. How do you plead?” the judge addressed the court with Greg, his attorney, and the prosecutor present.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAgfwJUXUD
“Not guilty,” Greg said. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8RN5Ueigx
“Do you request bail?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QZEjKXf2
“Yes. At $5,000.” Greg’s attorney said.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bGanREakE
The prosecutor then fired back “Your Honor we request no bail. Mr. Finch has been known to flee from the police. He was also involved with holding a civilian hostage and injuring a detective during that same hostage situation.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzU2CatP0G
“Is there a case running on that?” the judge said glancing at his notes. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wBnWphetX
“Yes, your Honor. Also, Mr. Finch is a suspect in a sexual assault case.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2PzRooSR5
“Is there evidence on that case as well?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7A5cAEeBG
“No your Honor. The FVSA is still working on gathering evidence and the investigation is getting, let's say complicated.” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFtevyGRyM
“I’m sorry Counselor, but I can’t take inconsideration his bail because he has not been charged in that case. However, since there is evidence that he held a woman hostage and shot a detective-”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBxVMpFmB
“This is his first offense-” Greg’s attorney yelled.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAbBITMUXo
“Please quiet down sir. Anyway since this is a murder and the injury of a detective, but this is also his first offense the bail will be set at $15,000. Thank you. Next case.” Greg barely heard the judge’s gavel ring out in the courtroom as he smiled at him. He was then led back to a temporary holding cell before being transported back to prison. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ks2RuXIyt
When he finally arrived back in prison, the inmates were out of their cells and at recreation time. Playing basketball, lifting weights, taking classes or at the library trying to fight their cases or reading. Greg was happy that a phone was available so he dialed his uncle’s number. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXLnPHkW49
He then waited a moment or two before his uncle answered, “Hello?” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMa2yq7Wml
Greg could hear the tiredness in his uncle’s voice. “Hey, it’s me, Greg.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWrnTqn7TX
“Hi, Greg how are you?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswCiY6ciPx
“I’m doing okay. Tired and the food is terrible, but at least it’s something.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxNn8YamUd
“You’re right. What do you need?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWweaqVR9p
“Why do you assume I need something?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMhNEAWZMe
“Because when you call me you’re always asking me for something.” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw3yMxYcgx
Greg didn’t deny what his uncle said, so he continued, “Let me tell you what’s going on. They set my bail.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DuHRXrH2y
“How much?” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbIn4icfNq
“Fifteen grand.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsFoXczICU
“That’s ridiculous, why is it so much?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRJtgCPeJJ
“It was originally $5,000 but because of that incident with the detective and all the other cases, the judge upped it to $15,000. So I’m going to need some help.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g0TiOblwo
“Okay. This is the last money I’m going to give you. I don’t have the time, patience or energy to be helping you clean up your messes. When do you need the money?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsVZoswTUG
“As soon as you can. Today would be great.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFz6dYySsx
“Fine. Do you need to be picked up too?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsd8WLLPLK
“Sure. I can’t go back to Grandma’s anymore. Can I stay at your farmhouse?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzw27ycI8Z
“Yes. See you soon Greg. Goodbye.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4JMfVw9KH
“Bye.” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRncSgv83n
Greg hung up the phone and walked into the prison’s library. He began to browse the few books that were there. He checked out a book on painting landscapes. Then took it back to his cell he flipped through its colorful pages. What stuck out to him was a photo of a beautiful countryside with blue skies, freshly cut green grass and a wooden house. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbKM4lwtVX
As Greg began to paint on one of his canvases he added a few extra details. A car, two little children and a woman in a pastel sundress walking from the house to the car. He drew a man stepping out of the car as well. Greg then smiled as he wrote Greg and Sarah at the top of the painting. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgMbx9H5ZP
This was his dream to be with Sarah. His infatuation and obsession with her grew day after day. She was even in his dreams and sometimes his nightmares. Well his version of her anyway. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MKc4l1and
The hours ticked on buy, but Greg barely seemed to notice. A prison guard for the evening shift called out and said “Greg pack up your things, you’re being released.”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0bxIVvIJP
“What? Greg said turning around from his almost finished painting. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFTxwFwBkd
“Your bail has been paid, let’s go.” He could tell the guard looked annoyed. Greg then grabbed his paintings, a notebook and a small bag full of knick knacks. He was then lead to where he could be released to freedom. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvZOCsBaPc
His uncle was waiting for him outside of the car. He handed Greg a cigarette and a lighter. “Thanks.” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxFI618Z0G
“Ready to go?” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvjNrV2BN
“Yeah.” 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmYdexBQmt
When Greg finally arrived at the farmhouse he was ecstatic. His uncle had left and so after he started the fire, he prepared dinner. There wasn’t much food except for a few cans of soup and drinks. Settling down with a bowl of soup and some strong coffee he sat in front of the fireplace. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70oDdpj0Mu
He stared out of the gigantic window in the living room as the moon shone brightly and scattered stars twinkled in the sky. He thought that maybe out here he could start a new life. He just had to beat his case. 285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM2m0v7CGo
