Adam Hunter arrives at the Wood Oak District Attorney's office. He was sent to protect the Assistant District attorney in charge of the case. He gets off the elevator and walks down the halls. Lawyers and paralegals dressed in suits in their offices on their phones. Finally, he arrives at the office of the ADA in charge of the case. He goes in and sees a beautiful black woman. The woman was so into her work she doesn't notice him at first, but then she looks up at him.
"Where's my coffee?" she asked
"I'm sorry, but I'm Detective Adam Hunter I was sent to here to protect you." He said
"Oh, I'm so sorry I thought you were one of the paralegals. My name is Claire Robinson I'm the Assistant District Attorney in charge of the case against the Syndicate. I assume that's why they sent you here?" she asked
"Yes, my captain tells me that you been getting death threats?" Adam asked
"It's no big deal threats come with the job I don't need a babysitter." She said
"Well Miss Robinson the Syndicate is very dangerous and powerful." Said Adam
"I'm aware of that Detective. In fact, I prepared a strong case to bring to the grand jury and I have a cooperating witness." Said Claire
"Two of my colleagues are picking up the witness." Said Adam
"I just hope they make it by two o clock tomorrow afternoon or I can't get the indictment." Said Claire
"Don't worry they will." Said Adam reassuring her
Back up in the Poconos Axel and Blaze just finished having dinner with the Piersons. Afterwards Blaze helped Julie Pierson with the dishes. Blaze can tell that the woman was scared and who can blame her as dangerous as the syndicate are. Julie dropped a plate on the floor. Blaze goes over to help her pick up the pieces.
"I'm sorry!" said Julie
"No, it's okay." Said Blaze
"it's just that I am so terrified, but I am trying to stay strong for my family especially my daughter." Said Julie with tears in her eyes.
"Julie, I can't imagine what how scared you must be, but it will be over soon once Leonard testifies tomorrow.
"It will never be over not as the syndicate thinks we're a threat." Said Julie
Axel was in the living room with Leonard. They watched little Charlotte watch her cartoons on tv. Leonard takes him aside again and share more concerns.
"Look at her, she's just a child I can't believe I let this happen." Said Leonard
"How did you get involved with syndicate?" Axel asked
"I thought I was working an innocent job as an accountant until I found out that I was working for a criminal enterprise. Every time I tried to quit they would threaten me and my family." Said Tim
"What made you finally come forward?" Axel asked
"My family. I want to be the man that they can be proud of now I think made things worse." Said Leonard.
"Hey once you testify then you and your family will be put in the Federal witness protection program." Said Axel
"Oh yeah, with new names and more lies." said Leonard
"Well at least you and your family will be alive.
Blaze and Julie comes out of the kitchen and joins them.
"All right folks I think it's time for everyone to get sleep we have a pretty long drive back to Wood Oak tomorrow.
"We have an extra room if one of you wants to sleep." Julie suggested
"You go Blaze, I'll stay up and keep watch." Said Axel
"Good night Axel." Said Blaze
"Good night Blaze." Said Axel.
