Janet
I walked into my office with Alexandria in toll. "Gil, Shawn, Nicky, Tina, meet Alexandria Castillo. New client. Court client." I said as I made a B line to my office.
"Alex." Alexandria stated.
I turned and closed my door and shut my shades. The last thing I needed was distraction.
I haven't been in court since that guilty conviction. I don't even like to be in court. I much would've rather I been contacted when the murder took place. Easy clean up, but no, now I have to get Alexandria off of a triple homicide.
There was a knock on my door before Gil walked in. "No. No, no, no. My answer is no, Jo." He said. He took a seat in the chairs in front of my desk.
"Gil, her mother called me and hired us. There is no 'no' right now, okay? This is the last thing I want to do either." I sighed, ruffling my hair to the side.
I looked into Gil's eyes and he got suspicious, quick. "Who is she?" He asked immediately.
"Nobody."
"Jo.."
"Gil, nobody. Don't worry about it."
"Why would I not be worrying if she's nobody?"
I rolled my eyes and went through the files on my desk before handing him some. "Alexandria Castillo. 28 years old. Soon to be charged with killing her best friends, Maria Andres, Santiago Grande, and Pepa Rosa. Go with the team and let's make sure I don't lose this one, got it?"
"Got it."
"Send Alexandria in."
Alex
I heard the door to Janet's office open and her friend came out, giving me a nasty look. "She wants you, weirdo." He said.
I am usually one to have a quick temper and quicker comeback, but this isn't my turf. I chose to play nice.
I walked into Janet's office and she motioned to close the door behind me. "Your friends are very..."
"Ignorant? Yeah, welcome to life." She smartly said.
Again, playing nice. "So, how did you become my lawyer if I didn't call for you. Having a lawyer makes me look guilty." I stated. I noticed some pictures round so I took it upon myself to look around.
"Don't worry about it. Come sit. I have 12 hours to prove you didn't kill three people so tell me about yourself."
I sat in front of her and began sharing. "Alex Castillo. 28 years old. I live in San Jose, which makes it even stupider that I came all the way to the Bay to kill three of my close friends, but I am Italian and Spanish. My mother is Spanish, dad Italian. I speak American and Italian—"
"Not Spanish?" She interrupted.
"No, my mother always thought that the language wouldn't help me fit in around San Jose."
"San Jose? Did she not know where you were going? 33% of the area are Hispanic, with the language being spoken in 24% households. Seems weird that a Spanish woman wouldn't want her daughter speaking her language in an area very accepting of it."
"Yeah, so, I have 2 brothers, Alexander and Alan."
She looked up when I stopped. "Is that all?" She asked.
I nodded.
"Alexandria—"
"Alex!" I snapped. "Janet, I don't want you to think that we are friends here! I've been keeping my cool but I can, and will, get in your ass. My name is Alex, and that's all I'm fucking share with you today."
I was thrown back when her hands slammed against her desk. "First off, let's get this one thing straight, I will call what your mother named you. That's not up for debate, Alexandria. Second, I am doing you a favor. I don't want to play fixer to a grown ass woman who doesn't know killing is wrong. Third, nobody, and I mean, nobody, talks me like that. Especially, in my office. So watch yourself."
She took a deep breath in, then deeply exhaled. "Get out. Go home. Try not to kill anyone. I will call you tomorrow when we will continue this fuckery you began." She said.
I opened my mouth to say something, but I couldn't find words. "Whatever." I replied. I got up and left the office. I don't know who she thinks she is, but she's gonna learn about me. Watch.
