Three days later
Zander Pov
I walk into the court room in handcuff. My mom is sitting in the room with Talia, Saffire and Kyrie.
These two days have been annoying but I'm holding out because I'm definitely going to finish what was started.
"Your honour we ask that the defendant remain in police custody as he is a flight risk."
"Your honour my client has never been charged or given a ticket all his life. He is not even guilty for what he is accused of..."
"Your honour we are not on trial here but I can say that this man is very powerful and if release he can tamper with our investigation."
I look over at the prosecution and smile.
"This is ridiculous. My client has no prior run in with the law and the grounds on which my client was charged for murder is questionable. Detective Derby has been stalking my client and therefore poses as a threat if he remains behind bars."
The judge look at me then on the file in his hand. He seems to be reading some information before looking over to my family members.
"Bail is set at 500,000." The judge says looking at me.
"Can he atleast surrender his travel documents." The prosecution ask.
"At this time Mr Gallo is not a flight risk. Bail is set and court is adjourn until June 26."
My lawyer smiles and I'm escorted to the back of the building.
They remove my handcuff and give me a bag containing all my clothes and jewellery I had when I was arrested.
"Mr Gallo, thanks for the money I appreciate it." The guard says holding out his hand.
"Gwaan hold it man, your son education pay for up to university level. Poverty a sin."
I shake his hand and walk to the front of the courthouse where my mom is waiting for me.
Kyrie walks up to me hugging me while my mom is just looking on at me.
"Mommy wah happen?"
"Zander I'm disappointed to say the least. I don't know who you are? Or what is going on."
"Mommy I'm still your son."
"No your not." She says walking away towards her car that Saffire is driving.
I look towards Saffire but she is avoiding eye contact with me. She seems miserable and I know why but I can't help it.
"Daddy you ready?" Kyrie ask opening my car door.
"Yea, road now."
"Kyrie me a go pon the road, gwaan hold down the fort until me forward back." I say to him as I walk out of my closet.
"Weh you a go daddy?"
"Just stay with your granny and auntie. If them ask fimi tell them me gone a supermarket."
He nod his head and I walk out making sure no one is in the living area. Just as I open the front door Talia is walking in.
"Weh u a go?" She ask holding a bottle of orange juice in her hand.
"Supermarket, soon forward." I walk past her to my car when she walks up to me.
"Zander, I think you should go see Saffire."
"Why?"
"You'll know when you get there."
I nod and enter the car and driving off. I turn on my music and start vibing while on my way to Saffire's place.
I pull up behind a black SUV and exit my car. My surrounding seem safe so I proceed to Saffire's front door.
Just as I'm about to ring the doorbell the front door opens. Saffire is standing beside a grown muscular man that shares the same face with her.
"Think a about what I said Saffire." The man says looking at me from head to toe.
He walks to the black SUV and enter. I watch the licence plate and study it so I can check who the person is.
"Why are you here?" Saffire ask and I look at her.
She is in a short dress with her hair in a bun. She looks moderate so it must be an important meeting but why her house of all places.
Saffire his her teeth then slam the door in my face. I bang on the door but it does not open.
"Saffire, open the door nuh man."
"Leave."
A car pulls up and her assistant and roommate Travis walk towards the front door.
"Who are you?" He ask looking at me.
"Nobody." I reply walking towards my car.
My work phone goes off and it's Stappa calling so I answer.
"Yes."
"Crypto, the boy give me a licence plate number of him boss."
"What's the number?"
"G346lb"
I disconnect the call and look towards the house. Why the fuck Saffire a link up with them people deh?
A the same car just leave here with the same license plate.
