I had too

I was so lost in thought. I had to prove that Ben wasn't guilty. I checked my phone. January 28th. I had 3 days before trial according to the date that the woman said.

I started crying. I needed help but I had no-one to turn too. I flipped through my contacts. I truly had no-one. I came to the last contact. Mrs. Solo. Ben's mom had given me her number before we left. Scared and kind of nervous I tapped the call button and put the phone to my ear. One ring. 2 ring. She answerd.

I can't come and neither can Leia due to complications but we want you to talk to the police than call is back right away. Is that understood?"

"Yes," I said in a slightly scared voice.

I hung up the phone and turned around. I had forgot that I was still in the station. I walked right out of the door and demanded to speak to someone.

I had to get Ben out of this mess. I had to.....
