Laurent Bourgeois is an inmate in prison. He's been sentenced to 25 years for a double homicide. His case has been inconclusive for five years. Read what happens when the truth is finally discovered.
Author's POV:
A lawyer named Dave Matthews and a psychiatrist walked down the cold, steel gated hallways of the Texas State Prison."Dr. Donald, I don't think the judge is going to allow this. He already closed the case. Even the courts found him guilty." Dave Matthew said to Dr. Donald.
"Please, call me James."
"Okay, James. I also talked with some of the guards and they said he hasn't talked for days. So I seriously doubt he'll talk to you." Dave mentioned.But James tuned him out. When they arrived to Laurent's cell, Laurent was found reading a book. A security guard unlocked the door and said,
"120688, you for a visitor."
Laurent looked up at James and Dave.
"I don't know them." Laurent said and continued to read his book.
"Your Laurent Bourgeois right?" James asked.
"Yeah, so?" Laurent answered.
"Then I'm at the right cell. My name is Dr. James Donald. And this is Dave Matthew. He's a lawyer. I was hoping to have a moment outside your cell to speak with you."
"I'm already in jail what I need a lawyer for? And I'm not sick, so I don't need a doctor." Laurent said.
"I'm not that kind of a doctor. Uh, please Laurent, I just need ten minutes of your precious time. And I'm sure you would like a break of your cell." James mentioned.
"C.O. (Correctional officer) lock my door, please. I want to be alone." Laurent asked and laid down in bed.
"Sorry." The guard said and locked the door and left.
"I hate to say 'I told you so.'" Dave added.
"Then don't." James replied as they left the prison.The next day, while Laurent was lifting weights, a guard approached him and said,
"You gotta visitor."
Laurent thought it was odd that someone wanted to visited him. He hasn't had a visitor since he's been there. When Laurent arrived to the visiting room, Dr. James Donald was waiting on him.
"Oh my god! What do you want from me?" Laurent yelled.
"I want to help you." James said.
"Help me do what? I'm a prisoner." Laurent replied.
"I looked over your case and I think I can help you get out of here." James mentioned.
"I'm serving 25 years. There's no way you or I can makes this go away. My life is over." Laurent said in frustration.
"No, it's not over. You still have a chance to fight this." James said.
"Time's up!" The guard yelled and approached Laurent.
"When you're ready for my assistance, call me." James said and stood up from the table.Laurent took the card and was escorted back to his cell. The next day, James office phone ringed.
"Dr. James Donald's office. How may I help you?"
"Dr. Donald?" Laurent asked.
"Yes this is he." James said.
"This is Laurent Bourgeois. Do you really think you can help me?"
