Jeremy's Mansion, Langose.
Lara hurriedly entered the mansion without knocking. As she entered the living room, she met the rest of the justice sitting on the couch and watching the news about Jeremy's death.
"It can't be," she whispered before she screamed out. "It can't be."
"Calm down Lara," Mary went to her and pulled her closer. "It all going to be fine." She said.
"I warned him not to go but he did because he never listens." Kendra cried out. "Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me? And that's stupid yomi followed him and also met the same fate."
"What do you mean by Yomi?" Lisa who hasn't gotten over the news of Jeremy's death walked into the living room with a tray filled with cups of coffee.
"See," Kendra pointed to the TV. "The reporter just reported that another was found. At first, I didn't believe it was yomi but when I called him yesterday, he was at the airport." She said sadly. "They found a dog tag on the other body and I recognized that tag anywhere. It's Yomi's." She sobbed.
"What is going on? Why did this have to happen?" Liza dropped the tray in her hand and began to cry. "They can't be dead. It's a lie!" She shouted.
"Please girls, calm down," James begged. "This is shocking news but we shouldn't conclude just yet."
"I don't know what to say. If they were alive then yomi should have called me by now. He should have!" Kendra shouted and beat her chest. "I can't believe this happened to them. This is the feathers doing. They are behind this and I am going to get them arrested," she stood up and walked towards the door but she was pulled back by Mary.
"Are you crazy Kendra?" Mary questioned her. "Are you stupid? How are you going to get them arrested? What proof do you have?"
"I'll look for one but first I need to get them arrested," Kendra replied to her.
"Don't be silly Kendra," Kemisola said to her. "The feathers ain't just anybody. Yomi and Jeremy wouldn't want you risking your life like this."
"But I can't sit down like this and do nothing," Kendra protested.
Mary embraced her and they both cried in each other's arms.
"This isn't what I wanted." Lara sniffles. "This shouldn't have happened." She cried.
"It's going to be alright. Let's just hope what they say isn't true." James told them all.

Feathers meeting room.
Daniel stood up from his seat to make a toast. He looked at the faces of all the feathers and smiled.
"It is over. His death has been announced all through the country. He is gone!" Daniel said joyfully and raised his wine cup. "This is to a new world." He toasts and the feathers all raised their cups.
"To a new world," they all chorused.
"I must say that Olusola did a great job in trapping that boy," Simone commented.
"At least he is good at something," Alissa said sarcastically, and then she stood up with her wine glass in her hand. "I feel this is too easy. His death was just too easy and it's making me having a second thoughts about his death."
Simone turned to face her and then she said, "how about you go visit the dead bodied in the hospital so you can find out if it's truly him."
"Hey ladies, no fighting please," Park begged. "This is a happy moment."
"As if," Alissa scoffed and went back to her seat.
"Now what?" Munachi questioned Daniel.
"Now we take back everything. We all are going to prepare for a conference with the press today and I have a little surprise from the president." Daniel told them.
"A press conference?" Alissa scoffed." We might have tackled and get rid of Jeremy Akinsola but that's doesn't mean he is going to lose his followers. People are supporting and releasing a press conference after his death is going to make the people suspect us more." Alissa said.
"I think I would agree with Alissa on this word," Leonard said. "She is right ."
"That's why I said I have a little surprise from the president," Daniel replied.
"Which is?" Simone inquired.
"Wait and see." Daniel smiled and clicked his tongue. "Park, please prepare a press conference with all the press across the state and some from other states that if they can make it." He ordered.
"I'm on it," park replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good evening meciandians, I am Melody Anderson reporting from The Hamilton's hall in Langose. Following the accusations against the feathers by Jeremy. The feathers have gathered all the press from around the state and some parts of the country for a conference. Why are the feathers doing this just a day after Akinsola's death was announced? Wanna find more about this? Follow up the story but first, let's take a commercial break."
Kendra sat on the couch in Jeremy's living and bit her fingers as she watched the news. Ever since they announced the death of Jeremy and Yomi, the justice had stayed together and none of them had gone to their homes. They hope in their heart that their deaths were just a facade and sooner or later, Jeremy and yomi were going to walk into the Mansion.
"Why are they holding a press conference? What lies do they have to say again?" Kendra almost yelled but she breathes heavily and stood up to pace around the living room.
"I can't believe everything is happening at once. What would be my fate if this was true?" Lisa questioned sadly.
"Let's not hope for the worst and we still have some evidence against them," James assured them but none of them replied to him instead, they all stayed glued to the TV.
Soon, the commercial break on the TV ended and the screen showed Daniel and the feathers entering Hamilton's hall. A large group of press entered the hall and took the seats prepared for them.
"Just seeing their faces is making me want to snap their necks," Kendra balled her hand into her fist and cursed the feathers angrily. "Motherfuckers."
"I welcome you all to this press conference," Daniel began. "Thanks for honoring me and coming to this conference." He bowed his head and then continued, " following the rumors and accusations against myself and the feathers, I have come here to tell you all the real truth behind it all. " Daniel informed them all and the reporters all shifted on their seats and began to type furiously on their computers. "Everything Jeremy Akinsola says is a lie." He said and the room grew silent.
"What?" Kendra stood up from her couch and shouted. "How dare he stand in front of everyone there and tell a lie?"
"Why is someone so wicked like this?" Lara shouted. "Why?"
"Are you saying this because Jeremy Akinsola is dead?" One of the reporters from a broadcasting station called people's TV questioned.
Daniel looked at the faces of the feathers and beckoned for Alissa to answer the question.
"A blind man would see that this isn't because Akinsola is dead. It's simply because we need to clear our names." Alissa replied to the reporter.
"But why are you doing it now that Jeremy Akinsola died? Are you in any way connected to his death?" The reporter questioned yet again.
Park laughed and replied to the reporter. "We the feathers doesn't do things as stupid as that. Jeremy Akinsola's death is a mystery and none of our concern."
"You are sounding as if you know something about his death," the reporter countered.
Daniel coughed and then he smiled. "Don't say things you can't prove." He said to the reporter but it was more like a threat. "Before Jeremy Akinsola died, he dropped a video that shows him begging for forgiveness."
"What type of forgiveness?" A female reporter from a broadcasting station called OURS questioned.
"Forgiveness for tainting our images and name. "
"Are you admitting that Jeremy Akinsola falsely accused you?" A reporter from a broadcasting station called lead TV questioned.
"This video would prove everything," Daniel assures them and beckoned for Andre to play the video. The video began to play on a white screen and soon it was showing Jeremy Akinsola.
"It's all a lie. All the accusations against the feathers are pure lies. I just envy them and I think spreading rumors about them is the only way to destroy them. I apologized to the feathers and I can't face the world anymore which is why I am going to commit suicide."
The video stopped playing and the room grew colder and silent. Some of the reporters gasped while some of them murmured amongst themselves.
Meanwhile back in Jeremy's living room where the Justice was watching the news, Mary stood up from where she sat and shouted.
"Lies!" She shouted. "Jeremy would never release a video like that. It's a hoax." She pointed out.
"Why are they lying because he is dead?" Kemisola questioned.
"He is not dead," Kendra corrected her. "The Jeremy I know is a fighter and Yomi is strong that you can ever imagine!" She shouted at her.
"That's enough shouting Kendra. It's time to get rest and stop watching these lies." Lisa urges her.
"I can't rest Lisa. Jeremy and Yomi are somewhere and I need to wait for them." Kendra bite her fingers and paced around the room. "They are alive! They are alive." She whispered to herself. "If I could just close my eyes and opened them again, they would appear here." She said to herself and closed her eyes.
Lisa walked to her and shook her vigorously. "Wake up from your slumber Kendra. They are gone!" She shouted at her.
"They are gone," Kendra muttered and bit her lower lips. "They are gone?" she asked and when Lisa nodded, she shouted and blacked out.
" Kendra, Kendra. " Lisa shouted her name and when the other noticed, James carried her upstairs to her room and laid her on the bed.
"Why did she faint?" Lara questioned.
"It's exhaustion," Mary replied. "Let's leave her to rest." She told them and they all nodded at her. "We have a bigger problem people," she informed them and they all listened to her with rapt attention.
"What is it?" They all questioned at once.
"After the confession of Daniel, the people are attacking us online, and it's bad!" Mary informed them.
"What could be worst than this?" Lisa questioned sadly.
"Jeremy's property is being confiscated by the government for falsely accusing the feathers," Mary announced.
"What?" They all shouted including Kendra who was supposed to be sleeping.
