"My client is innocent your honor"
"Your client confessed to the murder"
"It was a false confession, his back was against the wall. He was doing what he felt was right at the time to get his girlfriend out of custody"
Eric and Emily watched from afar as the two attorneys went at it, pleading their side as the trial for Diamond began. Leslie sat at the front bench with Jesse standing by his side, now they had to convince the judge and jury that he was actually innocent.
The DA was threw everything he had a Leslie, the evidence the rape allocations, the blood found at the grave site which all pointed to Leslie still it wasn't an open and shit case.
"Your honor I'm requesting bail for my client"
"Objection your honor, this man admitted to murder how dare he even think about bail"
"Like I said before he admitted to get his girlfriend off I will prove my client is innocent, your honor my client is not a flight risk he has no money or has no family"
"Bail denied"
Leslie bowed his head kissing the desk, he knew bail would be denied but Jesse didn't look concerned at all. The court took recess as he was escorted back into the holding cells.
"Don't worry you'll be out soon" Jesse said walking out of the courtroom.
"I thought you said this would be open and shit case" Janaya said running behind Jesse.
"Don't worry this isn't my first day around the rodeo now is my time to work"
"So asking for bail was the right thing even I knew he wouldn't get it"
"Of course not but it would be crazy not to ask, trust me all is not lost now I will call you later trust me"
At this point Janaya didn't have a choice, until now Jesse delivered on all of his promises so her and Leslie would just have to wait. One person who was all smiles was Eric who walked out the court room with his arms folded, he wanted to see Leslie go down but still he had doubts, he heard about Jesse and his record of cases didn't have many loses. Jesse pulled out his phone and dialed a number, recently he had a mole inside the department, for years he got inside information in cases which gave him the upper hand.
Within minutes he knew everything, all the evidence collected, the illegal search of Anitas apartment, and the bug planted in Chris office, and most of all his trump card, a bed of secrets that if exposed would rock the core of the department. Now was the time to use every trick he could if he was going to get Leslie released.
While Leslie sat waiting in a jail cell for a miracle Prize was outside making miracles, his response to a diss track was blowing up and received so much air play that it became a top ten hit which caught the eye of a pop star Miracle who reached out to him to be on her new single "New love" just the crossover platform he needed to become a top hip hop artist.
Crossing over meant a bigger audience and more money. He took time from trying to win Anita back and pursued his dream of becoming an even bigger artist. He sat on a beach on Virginia beach watching the waves hit shore as the crowd of people joyfully. The video would be set there on the beach to commemorate spring break and the start of summer with beach fun women in bikinis and water fights, a typical college dream and that appealed to all ages. Prize oiled up his chest having nothing but his swimming trunks on, he looked up into the sun that glared in his eyes and saw Miracle walking over, not only was she was one of the hottest upcoming female pop artists but she was very gorgeous but to Prize she was just business.
A hug and quick kiss on the cheek and both walked off to the camera crew setting up on the opposite end. Making new music was what he needed at the moment ever since the night he was caught with Anita by L.A he was reconsidering being in a relationship at all, he still loved her but felt strength for fighting for her was weakening. He felt he now reached the point where done too much wrong to make it right. Still he would try his best to do right, he raced through the sand picking Heaven up who jumped in his arms.
Even with them not talking Anita still allowed him to spend time with his children. Prize felt what better way to spend a father daughter day than at the beach. He swing her in the air bringing out the loudest screams her body could utter tossing her by the water. He knew that even without Anita having his kids completed him.
With the official track recorded now came the video and the whole shoot would consist of several shots on the beach, sex appeal would be the theme for the new single. The song would be released at a private listening party at a club just north of the beach. Several fans with V.I.P status would be allowed in with the rest being record execs, music artists, journalists, and bloggers. The night came and the party was a success. The club was packed from wall to wall with Mercedes sitting in a custom made chair fit for a Queen with a Gold and diamond crown she had made that that mimicked her album cover Titled Royalty. Prize mingled with friends over by the bar snapping pics with fans who recorded live from their multiple social media accounts, as usual his right hand Bishop was along with him. He focused on finding a woman to comfort him for the night while Prize got ready to put on a live performance with Miracle. A shot of Henny with ice was all he needed to get him through the night, he took his time sipping while playing in the lady's hair next to him. A quick whisper in her ear and grab on her behind and he knew he had her, easy game for him.
While Prize got on stage with Miracle while they did a sound check he noticed someone in the crowd, they seemed out of place easily out of sync with everyone else. The more he watched the closer they got until he realized they were the crew of his rival Tre Fly, the group were in town for shooting a documentary for Tre Fly upcoming visual mix tape. Prize watched them closely as the men walked around the club, he didn't trust them he took nothing for granted.
He looked over to Bishop who was still mingling with the female. He looked around and felt his gun in his back pocket, he always stayed stap but was trying to live a better life, he still was paranoid watching over his shoulder for Will and his brother and knew Hip Hop beef was no better. He tucked his gun away when he heard the music and the crowd chant his name, Miracle gets out of her chair and begins dancing around him. It's time to for their new single.
