~*~*~Disclaimer~*~*~ I don't own any of the Early Edition Characters or am I in anyway shape or form associated with the show or CBS/FoxFamily. But I didn't create Anatonia Giovani, Jackson Carter, Sonnet Summer, Adison Tacarski and so on. Also I actually didn't see the episode "Fatal Edition" until I was about on chapter 7 of this so it wasn't until then that I noticed a few similarities. Thanks for reading my Fan Fic and please write a review. The first 3 chapters are kinda short and are written in typical EE fashion. I promise the pace will definitely pick up and don't forget to keep a look out I will be adding more chapters because I'm finishing the story as we speak :) ~*~*~Rachel


Meet the Cast


Adison Tacarski - Adison's the top lawyer at the firm Madison Towers. He's also a 28-year-old single white male, who hasn't had the best of luck with the women as of late, when he is forced to end a 7-year relationship. His relationship started when he was at the age of 21 in the marines in Israel with a newscaster/ journalist from his hometown of Chicago. Now Adison finds himself struggling to regain what simple life he had before meeting her while trying to find a way to have all of the false charges that were filed against him desolved.

Anatonia Giovani - Anatonia's Chicago's little sweet heart and she definitely uses it to her advantage at any time possible. She's a 30-year-old newscaster for WBKL and journalist for the Sun Times. And if her reputation don't get her what she wants her looks definitely lead hand in hand with her intelligece. She's a beautiful Italian woman with an olive completion and dark brown wavy hair. And is now pregnant by Adison. But to add to her problems she's married!

Jackson Carter-
The 2nd top lawyer at Madison Towers. Only one person stands in his way of being top in Chicago.... and thats Adison. Jackson's 27 tall dark with dark brown hair and eyes and the typical little rich boy no one can stand. He always gets what he wants!!! While he's attractive and is a ladies man he also has a repulsive side of him. Which makes him someone you can't trust. He only has the best of the best. But by the end he'll be taking anything he can get!!

Sonnet Summer- Sonnet is probably the most cheerful person that you will ever meet and her personality matches her looks. She's also extremely cute with strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. Sonnets 24 and a nurse at the Chicago hospital where she meets Patrick at the most inopportune time but then again love can happen anytime anywhere.

Gary Hobson - A 35-year-old bar owner of McGinty's Gary Hobson's day to day life includes waking up to the sound of the future slap outside of his front door along with a cat meow. Gary runs around the city with the help of his two best buds Marissa and Chuck trying to set things right. But then again there's always the possibility of making things worse. Especially when he inherits something when someone close dies.

Bernie Hobson - Gary's dad in his late forty's and always looking for adventure when it comes to the paper. While Gary is reluctant to let his dad in on all the "fun" Bernie always seems to find a way to get in on it, even if that means making things worse. His dad is very kind hearted and fun loving and doesn't act his age at all.

Lois Hobson - Gary's mom who's also in her late forty's. While Bernie is all into the paper Lois is always worried about her little boy. As you can tell, being an only child, Gary's parents basically smother him. While she is also a kind hearted and loving woman she sometimes doesn't get the hint that Gary needs his space.

Marissa Clark - Gary's best friend and Co-owner of McGintys. Marissa is also in her Mid 30's and is blind black women. Not only does Marissa keep Gary out of trouble but she also gives him advice regarding all of his adventures. With out her Gary would be lost. She's like the cheese on his pizza, the gas in his car, they just complete each other.

Chuck Fishman- Gary's old college buddy who then became working buddy's when they both worked as stockbrokers together. Chuck is around 35 also and is short with lighter brown hair then Gary's. After Gary receives McGinty's chuck leaves to become Co-owner. He also helps Gary with the paper. But he isn't into giving the kind of advice Marissa is. His advice is to use the paper to his advantage and live it up. Chuck decides to leave and move to California and become a producer while leaving his half to Marissa. Out there he produces a show called "Bikini Squad.".

Jade Fishman- Jade and Chuck have recently gotten married after he met her when he came back to Chicago. Jade was there on a mission to steal a gem for her country back east. She's a beautiful blond who has a thick accent that sounds somewhat Australian. Jade is 8 1/2 months pregnant when they come for their visit.

Patrick Quinn- Patrick is by far the most entertaining person out of the cast. He is extremely light hearted and the biggest kid on the set. Patrick's about 25 and is the bartender at McGinty's. He's very attractive and has dirty blond hair and is very tall. He never takes anything to seriously and definily finds a way to always get on Gary's nerves. Before coming to McGinty's he studied to become a kindergarten teacher.

Erica Paget - Erica is a cute blond haired girl in her mid 30's also. Both she and Gary have already been married once and she has a son Henry, from her previous marriage, which Gary adores. Erica is also Gary's girlfriend even though you wouldn't ever be able to tell. She's to busy as the manager of McGinty's and raising 8 year old Henry, and Gary's to busy with the paper. But when together even for the brief time they are they make a cute couple. Both not ready for a serious relationship they are taking it slow.

Henry Paget - Erica's pride and joy Henry does everything possible to keep his mom from finding out about Gary's paper even if it means lying. Henry spends most of his time hanging out with Patrick at the bar. But once a major change happens among the fearsome foursome of the McGinty's staff (Gary, Patrick, Marissa and Erica) he finds his life changed forever.

Anika Paget - Erica's mother and Henrys grandmother who live's with her husband, Erica's father Jake, in the small town of Gallina. She's in her 50's but doesn't look a day over 40. She has a nice fair complexion and blondish whitish hair with a nice simple country style. But she's also very emotional and her and Erica have a very close relationship, which you would mistake for a best friend relationship instead of a mother and daughter.

Jake Paget - The typical grandfather Jake is a retired lawyer who only wants the best for his little princess still thinking that Erica is 5. Jake is also in his 50's but has dark black hair with specks of gray threw it. He's average built and is still in shape though his age. While he likes the thought of Gary and his daughter dating he isn't keen on the subject of how many occasions Erica has called crying about their relationship.

Detective Paul Armstrong- Ever since Paul met Gary Hobson there's been nothing but trouble. Armstrong's a nice looking bald headed black detective for the Chicago force. The best in the whole county actually. Gary finds himself going to him whenever he needs assistance with one of his many "missions". While Armstrong's always full of questions he's also grown to know that he's not going to get anything out of Gary. But he's vowed to find out how Gary knows things if it's the last thing he does. Armstrong's also very rough around the edges he's very upfront and gets straight to the point.

Antonia Brigatti - Another top detective for Chicago don't let her good looks fool you she's one tough cookie. Her and Gary flirt from time to time but nothing comes of it not only because Gary has Erica, but because Brigatti's life revolves around her work. She's also in a huge state of denial that she likes him when the subject comes up. Like Armstrong she's a bit rough around the edges and she's a chew you up and spit you out type of girl who tells it like it is.

Miguel Diaz - Sun Times photo journalist who's got a few suspicions about the "concerned citizen" Gary Hobson. He's so suspicious that he has a whole file on him. But at the same time there friends and he helps Gary out from time to time.

Danny Britani - 33 year old Danny is introduced to us as a door to door vaccume cleaner sales man. But in actuallity he was only helping out his brother -in - law who owns the company. He reappears at the end and his real job will shock all of you!


It's 6:30 a.m.; the alarm goes off which is a news radio station and a chipper

women chimes in.

"Good morning Chicago! It's6:30 and already a beautiful day out there. Traffic is heavy

so save yourself at least an extra hour when making it to your destination today."

Gary shifts in his bed and shuts off his alarm. There is a slap outside his door and a

cat meows. Gary rubs his eyes and rolls out of bed. Half asleep, he makes his way

acrosses his one room but spacious apartment and makes his way to the door.

When he opens it an orange

cat runs into his apartment. Reaching for the handle, Gary twists it and pulls the

door open to relviel an orange cat sitting on a newspaper. "Shoo." Gary says,

hudging the cat away. Leaping off of the paper, the cat runs into his apartment.

"Sure make yourself at home," he yelled to the cat as he closes the door and

slumps into the nearby couch. Opening the paper, he starts to read

the headlines. You would think this is just a normal guy reading a normal newspaper. But

then again what would you do if you knew beyond a doubt what was going to

happen tomorrow? What would you do? There's no easy answer for the guy who

gets tomorrow's news today. Gary reads something that troubles him, he slams

down the paper and throws off his shirt and grabs another.
