"So how can I help you?"Bruno asked politely staring at Elijah."As you know Alexander worked with many other powerful men all around the world."Elijah reminded Bruno while he nodded."This guy here named Zaire Bankole worked with Alexander for twenty years,but he's now in prison,because of fraud or better said because of Alexander."Elijah explained showing Bruno photo of the man.

"Why Mr.Leonte?"Bruno asked confused moving his glance from the photo to Elijah."Because my father wanted to save his ass and as you know he would do anything to save himself first...like putting an innocent man in prison."Elijah mentioned knowing his adoptive father very well.

Bruno nodded and Elijah wet his lips before explained"Tomorrow is going to be another trial of Zaire and I want to be there collecting more information about the case,seeing how I can help the guy get out of the prison in exchanging for some information."

Bruno finally nodded after the silence that stroke between them for a few seconds.

"Alright,what do you want me to do,sir?"He offered his help."I want you to find some more information about Zaire Bankole until tomorrow,so I can talk to him about the case and his past."Elijah demanded with a serious voice."Of course,sir!"Bruno nodded smiling,Elijah smiled too.

The next day, 12:15 pm
Getting himself ready for the trial,Elijah was standing in front of the mirror in his bedroom tying his black tie.He fixed a few small details in a delicate way,only his blazer was missing and he was good to go.

In front of the building where Elijah lived,Bruno was waiting for him next to the car's door.As he saw Elijah approaching him,he smiled friendly,opening the door saying"Sir!"Elijah smiled back and got in the car.

When Bruno got in the car too,he handed Elijah a black file titled"Zaire Bankole's case".

Bruno starting driving while Elijah started reading.

After a forty-five minutes ride,they arrived at the huge court house.
