Everything was happening so fast , the judge muttered the words no bail and he was automatically remanded.He was now property of corrections, before entering rikers island he saw the "Boliva sign from the watch company.Jail wasn't the place to be especially for a scared individual such as himself. On the bus ride you had your know it all aka jailhouse lawyers. One dude spoke up and looked directly in June's direction and says Homeboy with the Yankees hat and duke in the back with the durag are coming with me, I got a body, son got attempted murder and the Spanish kid killed dude who was bullying him. Ya low bail ass niggas are going to C-73 and OBCC which was short for Otis Bantum Correctional Center which typically housed detained inmates from Brooklyn. This was a whole different world he was embarking on. A menacing and dangerous place to much for his comfort. He couldn't take back what happened, Terror was dead and he was a wanted man. By now all the Kings knew who was responsible for King Terror's death, but what they didn't know was that Terror was June's cousin . He was a dead man walking either way. He had heard numerous jail stories from his older cousins and none of them ended up with a happy ending. Before he could even blink he was being attacked by two other inmates, who were cursing and calling him a dead man, the first officers comes in spraying his mace instantly stopping the beat down they were giving him. ". Your dead kid, don't matter the house motherfucker you won't make it upstate pussy" the first inmate being escorted by two officers in plastic restraints cuffs, Now with the officers full attention I wanna go to protective custody I fear for my life. What happened killer? Now you scared the first officer spoke after ordering him to strip naked. You know who would love this dude? Who Rodgers? Officer Camacho who was rumored to have an affiliation to the Latin Kings. Word on the streets was they use to call him King Macho before he straightened his life out and becoming a correction officer. Camacho will be back from vacation on Monday. He laughed and looked at the other officer "if you aren't dead by then." Jenkins remember to take this boy's shoe laces and belt, don't want you playing hang man on my watch. Your famous kid, your murder case is on every news channel, your picture, your victims picture who happens to be your cousin huh ? Your parents have received numerous death threats. Hope you ready for war kid. All June wanted to do was hear his parents soothing familiar voice. Most importantly he wished he could wake up from this nightmare he was enduring.C.O. when do I get to make a phone call, you gotta wait to your processed and housed in an unit. Please officer I'm begging you, I just want to call my parents and let them know where I'm at oh trust me they know, in fact the whole New York City knows who you are and where you at. Tell you what Junior, it's June like the month officer, anyway Junior you got some supporters vouching for your story of being bullied. Too bad there's no self defense law in the state of New York. My best advice for you young man is to have your family get you lawyered up cuz your gonna need it. The janitor from your school went as far as saying he will testify on your behalf in any court at any time , says you're a good quiet kid who was tired of being bullied and finally defended himself. With tears coming down rapidly June tries to gather himself before addressing the officer. Please C.O. I only need one call two minutes tops. You know what kid I'm gonna let you make your call but after I get you processed, you have my word. An older man from the holding cell across from him instructs him to pull up on the gate. Confused by what he just heard and the meaning behind it he puts his arms in the air signaling he doesn't know what he meant by that. Come closer kid, listen if I was you I would tell my lawyer that you want to go in front of the grand jury, most likely you're gonna get indicted so you might as well tell your story. I don't have a lawyer only the one that appointed to me by the courts. Does your family have money? Or a family attorney? Listen write this number down, this is my private attorney he's always on standby all you gotta do is pay the retainer fee. How much is it? Honestly kid you have a high profile case so it's gonna cost you a pretty penny. Have your family get in contact with him, his name is Pat Roth, he's worked miracles for me before, good luck kid. You ready to eat chow the officer asked him as two inmates came to his cell with a tray and a milk, give him another tray this kid needs it. June looked at his food in disgust amazed that people actually ate this crap ,Do I have to eat this he asks with a puzzled expression on his face .Suit yourself kid, somebody else is definitely gonna eat it. After all the feed up is done I'll give you that phone call you asked about. June said thank you and went back to sitting down. Morales let's go kid, hurry up you have five minutes nothing more understood. Yes most definitely and thanks. He dialed his house knowing both his parents would be home but in reality that was the only number he could remember, on the second ring his mother picked up. Listen ma I only have five minutes to talk, take down this number and consult with him, his name is Pat Roth, he's my only chance ma, I'm not getting out of here, they didn't give me a bail either. I'm all over the news, I'm a dead man ma, you gotta get me outta here. In between sobs she tells him she loves him and that she's gonna get him out. They both knew that was easier said than done. Ok Morales say your goodbyes, your five minutes are up.
