"So Jeffery Scotts, Franklin Lowland, and Langley Devereux? Figured." Claudia looked frustrated.

"Jeffery was arrested for assault and battery, however the charges were dismissed. Franklin had two rape charges, one conviction. Got out on probation. Langley committed grand theft auto. The charges were overturned. Everyone of them were prosecuted by me. Okay?" Claudia didn't like talking about court failures.

(You're in Chicago. They have it there.) Claudia left it there. She went inside the school. Lance was at his locker getting out some books.

(I know. I'm just saying I wasn't familiar to the phrase.) "Are you Lance Devereux?" George said as he came over to the locker.

"Look! I don't want to talk to anyone! My girlfriend died randomly, and I couldn't save her! So **** off!" Lance Wiggled out of his grip and continued to pack his bookbag.

"I don't care. Your coming with us!" George grabbed the boy's arm tightly so he wouldn't get away and hauled him to the police car.

"George, I would check out his girlfriend's death. Put him in the car and meet me at the office." Claudia started to walk away.

"Alright." Claudia went to the office to check out the girl's death. "What happened?"
|
|
#619
December 26, 2011, 03:51:10 PM

(You were supposed to meet in the car.) George rounded up the other boys. "Alright. In the back."
|

|

|

|
(I'm going to find out this death) An EMT looked at the body. "I don't know." Claudia noticed something odd. She leaned down and took one finger to the dead girl's lips. Then she licked it. "Almond. It's poison." Claudia headed to the car.

"Seems like it." Claudia leaned back a little. "Any of you have a lawyer?" All three answered in almost perfect unison. "Of course."

December 27, 2011, 07:52:41 PM

#630
December 27, 2011, 08:04:51 PM

"Mr. Walters isn't a terrible lawyer." Claudia walked in and immediately was pulled away by Sam.
|
|
#631
December 28, 2011, 12:00:26 AM
|

|
"I'm not saying he's terrible, I'm saying he was a suspect." George said as he got out of the car. "They're all yours Sam."

December 28, 2011, 01:19:57 PM

"I don't want them right now. You take the interrogation. Claudia, you come here." Sam breathed heavily. Claudia followed knowing what was to come with Jeff hiring Rob.
|

George took them to the interrogation room. "Sit." George sat down on the other side of the table. "Now you boys are going to give me the truth and nothing but that. Got it?"
|
|

Claudia came into the interrogation room. "George, after this we need to talk." Lance laughed. "You're trouble with your girlfriend." "We're partners." Claudia retorted.

Two out of the three lawyers came in. "I'm Leeland Corx. I'm representing Langley Devereux." "I'm Melrose Homes. I'm representing Franklin Lowland." Claudia walked in. "Rob is on his way."

December 31, 2011, 10:39:42 PM

"Not really. I learned to search and destroy the targets. Or at least find them." George said as he reviewed some papers. "What about you?"
|
|
#644
January 1, 2012, 07:13:00 AM

"I'm the district attorney. Yeah, but I can't prosecute Jeff." Claudia wandered around nervously. "That's why I need someone with lawschool experience."
|

"But he can use the fact that I've been a cop to his advantage." Claudia stopped.

(fixed it) "Are you aware of what they are charged with?" Claudia was blunt. "Murder, first and second degree." Each lawyer sat relaxed. "My client would never murder his own girlfriend." Leeland retorted. "Shut it." Claudia snapped back.

"A perfect recipe. Plus Donald Freeman was cleaning up the general store at the time of the murder." Sam exchanged a glace at Lance. "But let's move to Jeff here. Jeff, your mother wasn't checked into the hospital."

"My guess he wasn't." Sam cut his glare to George. "No I was drinking." Jeff answered softly.
|
|
#681
January 4, 2012, 07:34:46 PM
