Ch. 8 - Roll The Dice.

After two weeks, today was the today. On this day, the first trial of the Jacqueline Perez case is going to take place. During this case, we’re going against Alexander Torres. I know that’s he’ll automatically have an attorney to back him up, but I believe that by the jurors, he’ll be found guilty. But I refuse myself to overly praise that lawful offer.

It’s eight o’clock in the morning and I’m lint rolling my black Tom Ford suit. I weren’t in the mood to wear this very casual attire but it’s whatever to keep my appearance neat for this rocking day. Craig and I gonna rock this courthouse like a bitch. I know Craig gonna ask a whole bunch of questions that’s gonna be complicated for a defender to answer.

Since Jacob isn’t at work because the effect of today’s trial, I decided to call him since I’m wondering how are he. I grabbed my iPhone off the counter, dialed his number, and put the device to my ear, hearing those ringing tones.

“Hello?” Jacob answered the line.

“Hey baby,” I cheered.

“Good morning,” He sounded. . . nervous.

“You okay?” I asked.

“Yeah,” He lied.

“You nervous huh?”

“How’d you know?” He giggled slightly.

“It’s in your voice,” I said. “Don’t you think that I know you too well?”

“No, I guess not,” He stretched a small smile.

“What you’re nervous about?”

“Everything,” Jacob sighed.

“Jacob,” I continued. “We’re gonna rock and win this shit. Like I told my dramatic friend Craig.”

“Yeah, but what if the prosecutors. . . “ He paused, because his mind abruptly went blank. “Nevermind.”

“Listen baby, we got yo’ back,” I assured. “We believe in justice, and also you. I believe in you more. But since we don’t have time to come about into our relationship, I advise you to go up to that stand and tell them what REALLY happened. That’s all you have to do to defend your pride and try to make it more visionary.”

After taking my time advising him that, Jacob thought about it and realized that he’s READY.
