48 Hours To Death  
Part 4

Sunday February 9,2003

Hi everyone! Sorry for the long wait! Well, here's the last part! For those 
of you wondering, Ash Returns to Hogwarts will be finished between 4-6 
weeks, if I'm lucky. I'm looking along 6-10, but I'm not sure. Be sure to 
check out Togepretty, Enja, J*Cutie, Ash# 1, Topaz, Charmander, and(when her 
stories finally get up here) Vulpix's stories. That's all for now!


      "Oh great!" Ash groaned.

      "Did you really think that we were going to let you escape that 
easily?" Lane said.

      "We will escape." Misty replied with a grin.

      "I'd like to see you try!" Bern replied. Misty smiled broadly and 
kicked both of them in a not so nice area to be kicked. They doubled over 
and Misty and Ash ran through the door into the cool night air.

      "We don't have much time. They'll be after us soon!" Misty exclaimed. 
They started off into the night.

      "I can't believe you did that Misty!" Ash said with laughter.

      "Desperate times call for desperate measures!" Misty replied. They 
looked at each other, laughed, and continued. Suddenly, they heard a noise 
just beyond their vision.

      "Shhhhhhhh! It could be them!" Ash whispered. They stood still. Then, 
they
heard a voice.

      "Hopefully we'll find them soon." It was Officer Jenny's voice.

      "Officer Jenny!" Misty screamed. Jenny then pointed her flashlight 
toward where she had heard the shout.

      "Misty! Ash! We've been so worried! What happened? Are you all right?" 
Misty's sister's asked.

      "Well, we were kidnapped. We'll tell you everything later." Ash 
responded.

      "Who did this to you by the way?" Officer Jenny asked.

      "Bern and Lane." Misty replied. She pointed to the huge building they 
had
been in.

      "Ok." She replied. She talked into her walky-talky.

      "I'm going to need some back-up!" A couple hours later, Bern and Lane 
came out of the building, handcuffed. They were hauled into the police car 
and drove to jail.

      "We'll need you two to be key witnesses. You don't mind do you?" 
Officer Jenny asked.

      "Of course not!" Misty and Ash said with a smile. "We want to throw 
the book at them!"

***10 months later***

      "Ash! The verdict!" Misty exclaimed. He turned around and saw the jury 
filing in. The courtroom went silent.

      "Would the defendants rise." The judge said. Bern and Lane rose with 
nervous looks.

      "Has the jury reached a verdict?" The judge asked.

      "We have your honor." The head juror replied.

      "What is it?" The judge asked.

      "We, the jury, find the defendants Bern and Lane, guilty of kidnapping 
and attempted murder." Misty, Ash, and a lot of other people cheered.

      "Very well. For your crimes, I sentence you both to life in prison. 
This case is closed." The judge said.

      "We won! We won!" Misty shrieked.

      "Now we can start our own lives!" As replied happily. They kissed 
passionately as Bern and Lane were drug out of the courtroom.

THE END
