A sense of dread was coming over Charles. Basic concepts in the public court system were gone. How many more basic laws were going to change? They continued down the corridor until it ended at a door.

The officer slid his card through a security panel next to the door. This caused the door to slide open. After they both walked through, the door slid close. They were in a large room with a security station located in the middle of it.

While the officer was talking to another solider stationed at the desk, Charles noticed there were military guards stationed around the room. They were stationed in between nine other doors.

The officer finished his conversation and walked back towards Charles. “This way.” he said as turned and headed towards one of the doors. This door lined up with the security station and had a security panel as well.

Before they reached the door, the officer said “You will have 15 minutes to talk with the prisoner. Once your time is up, you will meet the judge and prosecutor.”
