Half an hour later, Hook and Ruffus arrived at the town center. Somehow, they had slipped into the courtroom to watch the magistrate's trial. They tried to be inconspicuous by staying in a hidden corner at the back. They also disguised themselves so no one could identify them.
The trial of Magistrate Torices was already underway.
Hook's eyes narrowed, jaw tightening as the final witness took the stand. His blood ran cold.
It was her! The young woman whose first time he took away!
Hook cringed when he saw her kicking his groin area, and not satisfied, she even hit it with the leg of the chair. The magistrate's blood had soaked the floor, and the silence that followed was the sound of justice echoing through the room. Hook could not take it anymore, and he slipped silently out of the courtroom and out of the Magistrate Building, Ruffus trailing behind.
