We sat in the council court waiting; today sentencing was set for Elder Mathias and Elder Jeremy. Xander and Dad were smart with how they did things. They took care of the minor players first, leaving the major players to suffer in the cells until their time. I kept my arm around Zyanna holding her close. Katya was next to her, holding her hand on one side and her sister’s hand on the other. Pheobe was next to them, with Alix holding her. William and Elenore were in our row, and Anya's parents sat with her and Alpha Matthew. The rest of the victims’ families sat in rows, watching and waiting. We had the children in an activity center. Everyone felt those kids had seen and suffered enough and did not need to see this.
