“Can you believe the arrogance of that man?” Summer said.
“Yes, I can, unfortunately. Summer, thank you for your support. I don’t think I could have done this without your help. You live in our house, and you are a Yellow. Now I am one too. We are partners in this. I know because you are contracted to Adam, your time will be done before mine. But at least I will have most of my time with you in my state.”
“No Laura, I will be a Yellow as long as you are one. Your family took me in when I had no one. Adam is far better to me than anyone else has ever been. I will support you in any way that I can. This is a vow that I make to you.”
“Summer I would say that means more to me than you can know, but I think you do know.”
At that point, an announcement came across the intercom. “All sentenced individuals, please assemble at the pickup line now. The final bell will be ringing in about two minutes.”
“Well, that is my que to go. You can stay here if you want. You are not associated with the school.”
“Hell no. I may not be allowed to stand in the line with you and the others, but I will be there for you on the side as support.”
As the sentenced individuals assembled a few commented on Laura’s Yellow state. She replied with a big grin and a general comment. “Yes, I am now a simple Yellow. Just like any other yellow. No more, nor less. I have the rights and privileges of a simple Yellow and will be so for the next six months!”

Author Note:
This is the conclusion of this series. I hope you enjoyed it. It was getting hard to maintain a continued level of escalation that still allowed Laura to be who she is at heart, and I liked her too much to go too far with her.
I do have plans for a follow up series including Adam, Summer, and the neighbor Jen Benson, who was sentenced to be trained by Adam and Summer by her own family. Many of the same characters will undoubtedly make appearances. Life is a bit chaotic at this time so it will be a while before I can work on that series, however.
