He sat there with his cuffed hands chained across the cold steel table. The room was a dark grey giving off coldness and despair. He lifts his head up at the sound of the door opening to reveal two men. One was short while the other was tall. But the tall man stood out from the two because of his dark glasses and sight cane. His partner pulls out a chair and helps guide his blind friend to sit before taking his own seat beside him.The younger chained man gave a puzzled look at the two men in front of him.


"Hello Mr.Thompson, I'm Matthew  Murdock and this is my partner, Foggy Nelson. We're your lawyers for your case."

"Um I'm sorry Mr. Murdock but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you for your services."

"No no you needn't pay us."Murdock reassured althoughhis friend rolled his eyes with an irritated sigh."I'm doing a...friend a favor."

Thompson tilted his head at the explanation. It had seemed Maddock had to search for the correct word for this so-called friend. But he lets it slide.
Nelson pulls out a file that read Peter Thompson on the front cover. He opens it to reveal several photos. Each revealed a troublesome and gruesome scene. Two of them were of a batterd man whose body was painted in deep cuts and bruises and possibly a few fractured, if not completely broken, bones. The others were of his house, blood and broken furniture were clear signs of a scuffle.

"It says here Thompson- "

"Peter Parker."Peter interrupted.

"I'm sorry?"

"Peter Parker. Parker is my maiden name. So please call me Peter."

Nelson nodded understandably before continuing."Peter it says here you attempted to murder your husband, Eugene Thompson and kidnap your son Eithan Thompson. You're accomplice, Wade Wilson, the man you had an affair with, agreed to help you."

"That is what Thompson and the police are saying."Matthew says leaning against the table."but I would like to hear your side of the story. We want to help you Peter, so please tell us what really happened."

Peter clutches and unclutches his coffer hands debating on whether to trust these two men or not. If he told them his story will they be able to change the mind of those who disbelived him from the ghetto or will they two judge him. He then thought about his little boy staying with his great aunt. If he doesn't get his name cleared little Eithan will only hear negative words about his papa and not the truth. He needed to get his name cleared so he can be with Eithan.

"Well get comfortable because it's a long story. "
