Roger LAmEnted his actions. Taking a gun with him had been stupid. As he sat in the holding cell, he realised that the consequences he faced today paled into insignificance in comparison with those of shooting his colleague. Eventually he was taken up into the court and was asked how he pleaded to the charge of threatening with an offensive weapon. "Guilty" was his response and a murmur sounded through the courtroom. The judge banged his hazel wood gavel down and called out "Order". Roger looked down at where his navel was, in shame and remorse, as the sentence was pronounced. It would be some years before he could try to rebuild a normal sort of life.
