Desirable justice

Game on

The pre trial was very standard. Nothing interesting or eventful happened I was able to get through it easily. The victims lawyers who I was able to observe were very well equipped, after today it's obvious that the victims families have gone all out to buy the best lawyers they could possibly get.

I'd recognised a couple of them like Matthew Foley who is a very good lawyer, he'd attended the same law school as me he's somebody who only got in because of connections but even so he knows how to be a good lawyer. He's intelligent without actually doing much work he put forward some good points today but regardless of how good he is I'll be able to break down whatever he thinks he is going to do. To any other standard lawyer they'd be greatly intimidated after today but compared to me they all seem like complete amateurs.

Walking out of the courthouse I look at the message Bethany sent me she's messaged me the name of a bar and her location frowning I switch my phone of. The paparazzi have all gone as someone had falsely leaked a later finish time that someone being my secretary. I didn't need to be questioned again I want to get to my car in peace.

" Alice! Alice Kennedy" Someone shouts from behind me. I whip my head around to see Matthew Foley approaching me.

This isn't good. Under no circumstances should I be conversing with anyone from the opposing side I turn on my heel ready to ignore him.

" Alice!" He shouts again. I stop walking in frustration I turn around to face him.

" What do you want? If we get pictured together this could end up all over the place. Your on the victims families side I'm on the suspected offenders please respect boundaries" I tell him pursing my lip and frowning .

He crosses his arms sighing. Matthew Foley always looks so put together but looks are deceiving after all the talks about insane people with Rosaline this morning I can without a doubt say he is actually a psychopath. I don't believe psychopaths really exist but if they did he definitely is one.
The times I spent with him at law school I saw his true colours, he's a good lawyer but he's got some serious issues.
I'm talking complete maniac.
I swear all the lawyers I come across have something wrong with them maybe lawyers in general are all a little fucked up.

" I just wanted to say hello to an old friend" He reaches for something in his bag.  "I also wanted to give you something" He tells me.
I raise my eyebrow in suspicion.

I look at his hands which have a packet of sweets in, I stare at him and then back at the sweets confused at why he is giving me them.

" You used to eat these at lunchtime every Friday" He hands me the packet. " Please take them to eat. They'll be perfect for when you loose this case and need something to comfort you."

Ah.
The true Matthew.

I knew he was being way to nice I grab the packet throwing them to the floor, I step over them with my louboutin heel digging into them then I reach down lifting the packet back up. Reaching out I grab his hand which I place the now torn up sweet packet back in his hand.

" No you have them. I insist that you hold onto these to eat whilst you watch my client walk free" I close his hand squeezing it shut. " Do not fuck with me"

His hand remains closed as he glares down at me, his eyes go into slits as his face tenses. I'll never pretend to be a decent person in front of him because he is somebody I'll never like.

" As pleasant as always Alice. I don't know how you have remained with such a good reputation I'm the only one who always knew what you were"

I take a step forward.

" Oh? And what's that" I spit out.

" Your a psychopath Alice."

I close my mouth my jaw tensing. I knew Matthew never liked me but I always thought it was because he just viewed himself as better then me but for him to call me that is something else altogether.
