Theodore Boone 3

Theo was in his office which was a small room in the court house. It looked as real as any other lawyers office but it was much smaller. Theo was in the dark thinking, sort of convincing himself the body found in the river. He could not wait for Leeper's trial. He thought that because he was such good friends with April he might get called as a witness. He could picture himself sitting at the witness stand telling all the things he knew, how scared she was and how she had been a lone a lot. The more he thought about it the more he couldn't wait. It did not look as if someone had broken in to get April so he was convinced her cousin, Jack Leeper, persuaded her to him in. The more he say and thought he remembered being friends with April for a long time. She came here for kindergarten and moved away. She came back around fourth grade and that's when they became good friends. April wasn't popular but she wasn't unpopular. She was so nice and kind hearted. One gym class Theo was having and asthma attack he sat with him on the bench explaining that we has asthma too. He started to become really sad remembering him and he looked at the picture he had hanging in his wall that she had drawn for him. There was a knock on the door and it was his father, the police wanted to talk to him. They all say in a room, him, his mom, his dad, and the two police officers. They asked him about what April might have been wearing and what he has ever bought for her like clothing. They explained that the body was very  decomposed and that they were doing a DNA test. Theo was quiet and in disbelief. Theo went to a basketball game with his friend who's parents were also lawyers, and both of their moms. Their moms took them out for the day to get their minds off of April. It was hard to have a conversation without April coming into conversation. The next day he had to go to school, there was no new news on April but his uncle Ike had called and asked for him to come over early to talk, which was unusual. When he got there his uncle went on to explain that "his people" had told him that the body is was to decomposed to be April. It was taller than April and they were almost certain it wasn't her. He asked who it was and they didn't know but he did explain the bates case in which he claimed to be missing and set a car on fire with someone else's body in it. He was trying to say it could be anyone and some people are unaccounted for so no one would know they were missing. Ike said he could spread this information because it was going to be in the news at 9. He got to school and told his first period class, pretending to be a lawyer that he really looked up to. They had an unplanned assembly just for his grade. The teachers wanted them to watch the news about their classmate April as a class. The teacher turned onto the news and they all watched together.
