The Adventure Of CorperJohn Part 3

Here’s morning tea for you guys ……………
They were led to another part of the
river where a lot of mermen
and mermaids were, it looked like a place
where they had their
events , then the trial began, the
opposition lawyer started by
accusing humans of murder and
pollution of their water world, he
pleaded with the court to give the
humans the justice they
deserve which was death, then John was
called to defend his
friends, he first started by greeting that
judge and the entire
members of the underwater world, he
then asked the opposing
lawyer what his best food was, the
opposing lawyer replied and
said he eats underwater plants, John
then said he was also guilty
of murder because the plants also had
life, he said that if the
plants could move and talk they would
also put the merman and
mermaids on trial, he explained that fish
was one of man’s best
food and that man even reared them for
food, he went ahead to
say that they were some humans who
kept fish as pet, he
narrated their ordeal in the hands of the
kidnappers and begged
the court to have mercy on them as they
all had families to return
to, when John had finished speaking, the
court jury then swarm
away to decide on the outcome of the
trial, TJ chuckled as the
jury swarm away, he could not believe
his eyes, they were being
tried by fish, he was guilty of eating fish
ranging from cat fish
pepper soup, tilapia, Titus, sardine and
many more than he could
count, in fact fish was in the moin –
moin they hand for breakfast
that morning, the jury were back and
they were not smiling, they
told the judge their decision and went
back to their position, the
judge cleared his throat and said here is
our decision, after
hearing from both lawyers, this
underwater court finds the
humans.
Not Guilty! You are therefore discharged
and acquitted, John and
his friends heaved a sigh of relief as the
judgement was passed,
John was the happiest amongst them
because he had won his
first major case, it was a special and
unique one, it was
underwater against the mer world, he
knew he was destined for
great things, he went to give the
opposing lawyer a hand shake,
the opposing lawyers hand was the
softest and smoothest hand
he had ever touched, he was full of Joy,
he was the man of the
moment, Joy stepped forward and gave
him a hug, yes! he
deserved it, the rest of his friends
stepped forward and hugged
him too, TJ gave him a pat on his cleanly
shaved head and said
that’s my boy, the princess of the
underwater world came forward
gave John something that looked like a
Pearl and whispered
something in his ear, John looked at the
pearl and nodded his
head in understanding
………………………………
It was time for them to leave the
underwater world, they were
lead upwards by hefty mermen who
helped them swim to the
river bank and quickly swarm back to
their underwater world,
finally they were free from the water
world, TJ had seen the
mermaid tell John something in his ear,
he wondered what she
might have told him, maybe, she was
asking for his bb pin or his
twitter handle, TJ chuckled as he thought,
John looked at Joy,
she was dripping with water as her
Corper vest stuck to her skin,
he could now see her sexy and lovely
body, she saw him looking
and smiled at him, John looked back at
the river which was now
calm, if there was a world record for
longest time spent by a
human being underwater without air,
they had now broken it, he
looked at his watch which he could not
see clearly, whatever the
time was, the day was far spent as it
was already evening, they
continued their journey with great
precaution as they could not
afford another negative surprise that
day, they found an orange
tree in their path and plucked some
oranges to cure their hunger,
John watched as TJ devoured an orange,
he just hoped there
was no orange kingdom to arrest them
again, they finally decided
to spend their night under the orange
tree, they would wake up in
turns to keep watch of the others, as
John lay down to sleep he
looked at the bright side of their
Journey, he had gotten a clean
hair cut and shave from his kidnappers
and he had received a
very valuable jewel from the mermaid,
he had also won his first
major case in court, he was also closer to
that girl he loved, a
cool breeze blew as John fell into a deep
sleep. Shh! no noise
They awoke to the sound of birds
chirping in the forest, the sun
was about setting, Tomiwa, the other
male Corper had slept off
while keeping watch over them, he
forgot to wake John up to
keep watch, John stood up and looked
around, his back ached
from sleeping on the ground, he looked
at Joy, he was glad she
had survived all what they had gone
through, he somehow felt
responsible for her safety, Becky the
other female Corper was
crying and lamenting that they would
not get out of the forest,
Joy moved closer to her and comforted
her telling her all was
going to be all right, John knew she was
right, they didn’t know
which direction they were going, but he
knew that once there is
life, there is hope, they went in search of
what to eat, luckily for
them they found a pawpaw tree with
ripe fruits, they shook the
tree until two pawpaws fell, that was
their breakfast, they needed
water so they set back to the river they
had just come from, but
they were careful not to go to close to it,
as they drank and
washed their hands, legs and face, it was
the first time any of the
had voluntarily drank water from a
river , did they have a choice?
Now which way will they head? John
called their attention so
that they can decide, Tomiwa studied
geography, so using the
position of the sun he got their bearing
and suggested they head
west, what did they know? They rarely
knew anything about
geography, they set off on their journey,
John was the one Who
was in front, they had walked for two
hours when they got to a
wider road that was not tarred, they
were glad because it meant
they were closer to civilization, they
navigated the road for 10
minutes when they suddenly heard a
voice saying stop there
