A World Apart

Life Less Important

Carla
I have been transferred to New York for the murder trials against me. The evidence against me is overwhelming and I know exactly who gave them most of it. He let the FBI search our home and they found everything in my hidden compartments and rooms. I am back in general population again. New York is not Seattle people are not so easily fooled or manipulated into doing my bidding. I found out who the real boss is on the first day and it's not the guards. Shelly Hunter might look like an innocent young lady, she is far from that. Apparently she has contacts and she knew months ago that I would be joining club in New York. She assigned four prisoners to keep me away from her. She wields power even on the inside. She's Anas age and has one thing in common with her. Me, I set her up and she ended up in prison here in New York. She was found guilty of embezzlement and because I am so good at manipulating I was able to get her signature on opening an account that I later transferred money into from the company we worked at. She couldn't prove her innocence. But she might have it now since they found out where the money from the account in her name on it was transferred into one of my other names accounts. I closed both accounts immediately. Of course they were closed right before she was arrested. I asked for sequential serial numbers on the cash withdrawal of the money. They found it odd, so the manager of the bank kept records of the numbers. So I placed a bundle of cash with the sequential numbers in her purse and called the cops from our office on an untraceable cell phone. I got the red of the money and left. I had already gave my two week resignation and left. The company assumed she hid the rest of the money and didn't bother looking into it further. I found a way to get money out of my hands and into someone else's hands. They were also not happy about my setting them up. But luckily they didn't kill me yet. They had other plans for me. I had to be his whore for as long as he felt like it. If I were to run he would capture me and give me to some dear friends to assure my life was hell from then on. He bought and sold people all the time. He liked me for other reasons and was willing to offer me this deal. After two years he found a younger girl and let me go with a warning to never darken his city again. His wife paid me a visit today. The warning was made very clear to me. If I didn't confess to my crimes that when I got out in the streets of New York I would need eyes in the back of my head. I guess the deaths of the Lambert's and how, why and who had been splashed all over the place. They had good friends and those friends had friends and so on. I am staring at her dumbfounded. She told me it would be better to confess my crimes.
Jane Jones
The Lambert's were wonderful people and this b..h killed them all three of them. Albert didn't want to this evil person. After the two years he met me and we married. He found out Carla was causing a lot of problems for him and sent her on her way. Three guys left with her, but soon came back cursing her every day. Now you have a month to confess, we have people who will remind you of if you don't. You will never really be free now that you are in New York again. I would strongly recommend you confess to all the charges. Shelly has power and she was innocent she deserves to be exonerated. You have so many enemies waiting for their shot in here they can't get to you yet. Out side they can and we will make sure they know your release time. I have to visit with Shelly, I won't be visiting you again.
Shelly Hunter
I watch as Jane tells Carla her choices. Jane finally heads my way. My four guards make sure she doesn't have anything. Even though Jane is trying hard to get me exonerated I can't be too careful. Threats to my life has always caused me to protect myself. Jane finally leaves and I go back to my reality and sit in my cell.
Public Defender Jamie Timmons
I hate the women's prison, they catcall just like construction workers. Carla decided to take a plea bargain. I tell her she is still getting a life sentence and she has other things she needs to clear up. I ask to record everything and she allows me to. I call the prosecutor and he is willing to talk.
A month later
Shelly Hunter
I am walking outside and a car picks me up. It's an attorney wanting to help me sue for reparations. I agree and he drives me home to see my family. They know I was setup and the woman who did it. They have never believed I was guilty of it. The prosecutor got evidence that would prove my innocence thrown out. The public defender could care less about winning the case. I breathe easier now that Carla is behind bars for good. Mom wants to kick her butt. The line is huge I tell my mom. It hurts to see my nieces all grown up. I missed that and new family members added. My guards had to finish out their time. They definitely were good at guarding me.
Mrs Oscar Hunter
I am thrilled to have Shelly back home, but I want blood and I am going to get it. Carla will pay and I have my resources.
