Theodore received a call from the Prosecutor indicating that Grace's court case would take place the following day at 9:00 am. The Prosecutor had pressure from above because the case was affecting the richest man in the country.

Mr Timothy didn’t interfere with the case; he wanted the law to take its course. Theodore immediately called his uncle, “Hello Uncle Timothy, I just received a call from the Prosecutor indicating that a court date had been set.

The matter is set down tomorrow at 9:00 am. I heard that Auntie Grace was moved to Pretoria Correctional Centre this morning to serve her three-year sentence.

I think the court will suggest that Auntie Grace serve her sentence concurrently if she is guilty.” Uncle Timothy replied, “Please prepare well Theodore, I want Grace to be punished harshly.

Ensure that there are no loopholes, and collect all the evidence. Grace tried to kill three people; she must be sentenced accordingly.” Theodore bade goodbye to Uncle Timothy then they hung up.
