Setting:  Courtroom, Judge is in his place, Bailiff is standing in the front, Mr. Sawyer is seated in the courtroom, the prosecutor is seated and  Attorney Brown and Brennan are seated next to each other. Erica and Pastor David are seated behind Brennan. The judge is about to go and deliberate on the case.

 Judge Murphy:  (speaks slowly and clearly) Mr. Brennan Jackson, you understand that you have been charged with the crime of assault and battery against your former boss, Mr. Alton Sawyer.  You pleaded not guilty under the grounds of self-defense.  I have heard the case presented by the Prosecutor and your defense attorney, I’m going to take some time to go and deliberate and I’ll be back with my decision. The court is in a brief recess (hits the gavel on the desk, rises and exits).

 Bailiff:  All rise.

(Everyone exits except the pastor, Erica and Brennan.)

 Brennan  – sits back down

 Erica: Baby, there is still hope.  It doesn’t have to end the way you are thinking (sits next to Brennan).

 Brennan:  You don’t understand, all my life, I’ve been told that I’m nothing, that I’ll never be anything, that I’m destined for failure.  Why prolong it?

 Erica:  Baby, that isn’t true.

 Brennan: My own mother named me Brennan.  Do you know what it means?

 Erica: Sometimes, God has been leading us down another path but we are too afraid to risk losing what we already have…

 Pastor:  Brennan have you considered that your boss missed his blessing?  See, sometimes we look at things differently than God has purposed.  Have you ever thought that you were put there for a reason but the company rejected purpose, not you?  See, don’t take it personal, it was purpose they rejected, not you.  To Mr. Sawyer’s own admission on the witness stand, you have written more software programs than anyone in that company. Their best selling software package is the one you wrote.

 Brennan:  (interrupting – talking to Pastor Jackson) Pastor Jackson, no disrespect to you but I used to faithfully attend church and gave my all but it was the same ole stuff.  Nothing changed; it was just a bunch of programs and words. When I looked around the sanctuary all I saw was a room full of bound people.  I need more. I have to be free inside.

 Pastor Jackson: Well, you can’t be free on your own. The word of God says, “He who the Son makes free is free indeed.”  If you want to truly be free you must rededicate your life to the Lord and allow Him lead you.  He alone can empower you to face not only your Mondays but everyday.

 Erica and Brennan:  Amen.

 Pastor:  (embraces Brennan)

 Bailiff: The judge is ready to reconvene.  We have already contacted your attorney’s office.

 (Prosecutor, Mr. Sawyer, and a couple other people enter and take their seats)

 Brennan:  (sits down)  Here we go. 

 Erica:  (encouraging smile) Yes (sits behind Brennan)
