“Eric framed me for this” Joe replied Emily.“What! How? What did he do?” Emily asked.“He killed Caleb, and now I am blamed for it” Joe replied.“That monster!” Emily yelled. “He will never get away with this” Emily cried.“I have set an evening meeting with Mrs. Caleb. I hope she hears me out” Tasha announced while standing up to take her leave. “Please take care of yourself sir” she added.“Wait, are you going to leave me here?” Joe asked her. “A case has fired against you, you will have to remain in the police custody until the case is resolved by the court or redrawn by the one who pressed the charge” Tasha enlightened.“No, you can't just leave him here, do something” Emily pleaded.“That is precisely why I need to leave right away. Mr. Peter here has no proof of his innocence. So, I am going to get evidence”“Please do everything you can to save him Tasha, he is all I have” Emily pleaded with her.“I will try my best to do just that” she assured and left.***She paced quickly
“Good evening madam!” Tasha greeted her.Mrs. Caleb sniffed her nose and cleared her throat to show she had been crying.“I know you have been through a lot, I mean you just lost your husband and…“Who are you again” Mrs. Caleb snapped in with her question.“I am Tasha Smith, Mr. Peter's lawyer” Tasha introduced herself.“Let me guess, you want me to redraw the case against him? You are supporting this?”“Not entirely ma. I just want to know what your proofs against this man are?” “I do have lots of proves toward him”“Let me guess, those that the police spotted out?”“Please Tasha, I just lost my husband, as you know. I don't wish to be in a debate at this point, please come again next time”“How much do you want to redraw the case?” Tasha asked immediately when seeing her stand up.“I knew it. Peter cannot stand going to prison, can he?” Mrs. Caleb mentioned before leaving.“Gosh! That lady” Tasha muttered and took her purse to leave. All her life as an attorney, this was the firs
“Hello Mrs. Caleb” Eric called.“Wow! At least someone admits it that I cause trouble” Eric joked.“What do you want, Eric? Have you come to plead for your brother now?” She questioned.“Come on, Mrs. Caleb. You should know me better than that by now” “So what are you here for?” “To sympathize with my friend, of course”“I am not your friend” Mrs. Caleb made it clear to him.“Please don't get me wrong, I am not here for you but your husband” Eric confessed.“I doubt you came with pure intentions, Eric” Mrs. Caleb said to him.“You speak as though you know me too well” Eric was impressed by her statement.“Have we worked together before?”“What are you insinuating?”“How about we work together?” Eric offered with a mischievous laugh.“Go straight to the point” Mrs. Caleb.“My brother will try to convince you to let him out, I just want to make sure you know what you are doing” Eric informed.“They were no way I am giving that murderer a chance to escape” Mrs. Caleb gave him her word.
It was the day of the hearing from the court. The hall was filled with all sorts of people. The journalists, barristers and viewers who had come to see how the case goes.The judge was seated while Joe was brought before the judge as the case was to begin.Mrs. Caleb was comfortably seated in the front roll along side her teenage son Samuel.Emily was also seated at the front roll of the other edge. Where her brother stood in the counter in front of her.Vanessa, Drake and other workers of the company were also present.Tasha sat down with some documents in front of her. While her opponent. Mrs. Caleb's lawyer kept chewing bubble gum and looking mockingly at her."Why haven't Bella arrived yet?" Emily questioned herself and decided to call her phone.The case was opened by the judge and the hearing proceeded.Mrs. Caleb's lawyer began with the case."My Lord, my client's husband died on Saturday in his office through gun shuts. Research has proven it that the master mind behind this a
“please you have to find out what happened to Bella, nothing must happen to her” Joe pleaded with them while the sergeant dragged him away.“Hey! Go easy with him, he is still a wealthy man, you know?” Emily yelled at the sergeant. “Gosh! They are so disrespectful” as he added.“I think something is wrong with Bella not showing up” Emily spotted.“I think she was just too afraid to show up in a court. I mean, with the popularity of a court like this, anyone would be afraid to show their faces here.“No! I disagree with you. She must have been threatened in that case, she had always been threatened by that monster Eric. I bet he had a way to get to her again” Emily suggested.Tasha heaved, a sign of fear and folded her hands.“Any ideas?” Emily asked.“Just leave that to me. You should keep your distance now. I would rather not be caught seen with you because it is not allowed” Tasha admitted.“Please, try your best to get my brother out” Emily pleaded one more time and then departed t
The news of Joe's sentence was everywhere on the news, as though the people expected this to happen to him. This we as the actual being of trouble for him.He would actually be powerless if he stays in prison, and Eric might just have the upper hand in the play.Whatever it takes, he will make sure Eric everything he has taken from him.***Joe nodded in shame as he walked pass the prison yard alongside two security guards.He had begun to picture his life in a cell and was not comfortable with the thought at all.This clandestine frame up of Eric has truly left him crappy.Joe could feel the negative vibes emulated by these prisoners. He could tell he wasn't meant to be there. As though they had been his enemies all along.“Whoop ooh!” Joe heard the comments and thumbs down that were given to him as he patrolled alongside the security guards.“Don't worry, you will not be staying with any of those dudes” the security assured as they mocked him with a laugh.Joe looked at them with an
Eric framed me to this. He killed Caleb, and now I am blamed for it” “I therefore announce you guilty of the charges placed upon you. Therefore, You shall remain five years in prison” these words echoed in Joe's ears as he tried to gain his balance after being knocked down on the floor. His legs hurt as the fracture was only just recovering. He was advised to still use wheelchair, but he refused.“I came to your office that day, as a friend of your father's” Allen spoke. “My father and yours had cooperated for a long time, you know” Allen scoffed and found it hard to continue his story.“My father died recently, and it was discovered that he had numerous debts. The company was what he used as a collateral” he cried.“I could not bear to see the company I have worked had to achieve crumble within a twinkle, so I pleaded with them to give me some time” he nodded in disappointment and frowned at Joe who kept an innocent gaze at him.“Collecting loan from the bank would be a lot worse, so
Miss Tasha, Emily called as they got closer to her.“Oh dear! What are you guys doing here?”she questioned and stood still to receive them.The cop did not relent in his chase to catch the girls. They all stopped before Tasha. Emily winked an eye to Tasha to defend her.“Don't worry, they're with me” Tasha said to the cop.“Please be quick, mam. I might be dismissed from my duties if they learned I allowed this” the cop warned.“Oh dear, we will make it snappy” Tasha assured.“Go ahead then” the cop said to them.“Thank you so much, Tasha” Emily whispered to her ears.“Go and see him” Tasha advised.***“Oh! You are back?” Allen recited the words excitedly.“Welcome back” Collin said with a frown. He appeared rather furtive to Joe.When Joe decided to follow his gaze, which met Allen with a tight fist heading for his face.Thanks to the sound of the door opening, Allen's hand took a different turn and landed on Collin's jaw. He landed on the floor instantly. “Peter!” The warder call
