Dean was bored. Which given his circumstances many people may have found extremely improbable. After all he was sitting in a courtroom currently on trial for twenty counts of murder. The truth was he knew the body count was much higher, in fact closer to sixty and he had wanted to plead guilty, but the high paid attorney his parents had hired would not hear of it and was trying every legal trick in the book to get him off except putting him on the stand.
He couldn't see why that would be a problem. If he really wanted to he could run rings around the prosecutor who was looking to make his name with this case. The guy was a total incompetent doing everything from the playbook of Harvard law, from the upmarket suits to the cheesy smiles. He placed his faith in the DNA evidence way too much, and the eyewitness reports, both of which Dean knew were faulty because he himself had made them so. Yet his highly priced lawyer had not picked up on it yet either. Sometimes it was hard being so smart, part of the reason he had begun doing what he did.
Dean had an IQ that was in the 200 range. Actually no one knew what it was because there wasn't a scale to measure that high. As a kid he had learned all Earth's major languages by 3, Mastered 22 different instruments, painted 12 masterpieces and had begun work on a new Solar battery system 10 times more powerful than the current ones on the market, with panels that could fit on a phone. By the age of fifteen he had a masters in engineering, physics, philosophy, English literacy, The Arts, Chemistry and ten other fields. He was a qualified surgeon and a pilot and had performed with symphonies all over the world. He had sold several small inventions that had made him very rich, and works of art, while several of his masterpieces hung in national galleries in countries all over the world. By eighteen however he knew his life could go two ways. Like the great scientists before him he could invent something brilliant and watch it be turned into something horrible. Or he could just say to hell with it and just have some fun. He had chosen the latter, hence his current situation. Still it was a nice distraction.
Dean had spent the last two months attending this courtroom every day and now knew every inch of the place and fifty seven ways of killing someone with just the every day items in this room, without getting creative. He amused himself by thinking of a new and rather creative way of using the Judges gavel, the stenographers typewriter and a pen and laughed out loud at the vision in his head. Of course this brought the ire of the Judge down on him.
“Just what do you find amusing about these proceedings Mr Walker. I find nothing about what the prosecutor is talking about amusing at all.”
“Oh was he talking,” smirked Dean. “I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. I mean a two year old could do a better job than him. I could have objected three times already and cited six cases to rebuke three points he has made on which his whole line of questioning hinges and his DNA evidence is shocking and was handled totally incompetently. But why bother your honour. My over priced lawyer is supposed to handle these things not me. What I found amusing was the idea of how high the blood splatter would be if your stenographers typewriter fell from a great height, hit your gavel and propelled a pen into that twits arterial artery,” he smiled.
Of course that did not go down to well and he was bundled down to the cells again. Of course he could have escaped if he had wanted to but he was having too much fun. He had caused this trial to go on for double the time it should have so far costing his Parents a fortune in legal fees and tying up the legal system. He had made sure very early on that they would have no access to his money and had hidden it in offshore accounts and in Swiss vaults under assumed names with no electronic traces that anyone would be able to follow. He had also gained some notoriety and fame but that was not his main objective, he wanted a special someone to know where he was. He was basically whiling away the days until she showed up and then they could have some fun again, but this time he would maybe take a few more people along for the ride.
