Chapter 14
John had just walked in through the doubled doors. Gaining a few eyes from the courtroom. He noticed that Mickie was being questioned.
"And Detective how many times have you arrested Mr. Calaway" the counsel asked
"More then ten times" Mickie said with confidence
"And what were the cause of his arrest"
"Smuggling, Robbery, Assault, and having positions of weapons without a license" John made a mental note 'get license for guns'
"Thank you Detective that would be all" Mickie then watched him sit down as David Otunga, one of the best lawyers of Brooklyn
"Are you positive that he was arrested more than ten times"
"Positive"
"Can't you give us a correct number"
"Yes. Twelve times" Mickie said
"Are you positive is the exact number of times"
"Yes"
"But before you didn't give the exact number. How do you know if your right"
"It was in the file"
"Which are made by people. And everybody knows no ones perfect. That person could have made an error. Correct" he looked at her
"Correct"
"No further questions your honor" David said returning to his table
"Any further questions consul" the judge directed his attention to the attorney he only shock his head "You may return to your seat detective" Mickie got down out of the booth
"Next witness. John Felix Anthony Cena" John stood up from the back and made his way to the stand the Deputy Sheriff made his way over to him with the bible
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god"
"I do" David then stood up as
"Mr. Cena what do you have against my client"
"Nothing" John said watching the man move in front
"Then why the attacks"
"I honestly don't know"
"Are you sure you didn't provoke him"
"No"
"Please elaborate" he said crossing his arms over his chest
John sat up straight "His brother wanted my money"
"And what did you do"
"I kicked his ass. Excuse me your honor"
"No more profanity" he said
"Yes sir"
"This was on caused by one person. If you had just given the man your money. You wouldn't have had Mr. Calaway assault you. Am I right"
"Yes"
"No further questions your honor" David said sitting down
"Consul your witness" the man got up and made his way to John
"S you say you were assaulted by Mr. Calaway"
"Yes"
"Was it just at the bar"
"No"
"Where else"
"In an alley not far from the bar"
"Why did you go there"
"At first I was at the bar having a drink and his brother comes in. Still asking for the money. Then he said he wanted a fair fight. I insisted he take my money but he was having non of it. I made a dash out. I thought I lost him. I took a short breather but I was soon pulled into the alley. (John rubbed a hand down his face) second time in my life I felt weak"
"What happened" John just looked at him "Take your time"
"When he pulled me it caught me off guard I didn't have time to respond but that was the opening he needed. He slammed me repeatedly against the wall. I was dazed a bit but I could see his brother coming in. He gave a punch right to my jaw, I felt something move, after that he then stomped on me. Mr. Calaway was 'supervising'. I got the best of his brother and him into the wall but that left me open to another punch. I was knocked down to the ground as I said. When felt something it moved right back. But that wasn't my concern when repeatedly kicked me in the ribs"
"Thank you. No further questions your honor" he sat down but David stood up
"Mr. Cena if i may ask how you got away. Mr. Calaway's case files says that he usually killed the person when he was done with him"
"Because I threatened to kill his brother"
"No further questions your honor"
"Why did you pull out your gun?" the consul said with a smile finding a weak spot on the questioning
"Because Mr. Calaway had his gun pointed at me"
"No further questions your honor" the consul sat down
"Very well. The jury will rest on the verdict. Case closed till tomorrow morning at ten A.M." he said as he banged his mallet
Outside Courtroom
John found a vending machine as he bought himself a bottle of water.
"Thought we made a deal" John then turned around seeing Kane standing there in a suit
"You clean up nice"
"Cut the crap we. made. a. deal"
"Well you don't know me. When I start something I finish it"
"And we can help" Kane and his goons started moving towards John
"Oh you are the stupid one" John said backing up
"We got a problem here" Mickie said with security men
"No just leaving" Kane said as he glaring at john before leaving
"You ok" the security made sure that Kane and his guys got out
"You just love saving me don't you" John said with a smirk
"Just doing my job"
"I see. So about that date"
"You want to reschedule fine"
"No. I was just gonna ask what your house address was so I could pick you up"
"Yeah" Mickie said getting her card out
"Oww fancy" John said as he put in his jacket "I promise you'll have fun all night" John lifted her hand placing a small kiss on it "Oh and wear casual" he said before walking away causing her to look after him
Mickie's Apartment
"Mickie just let me do your hair" Maria said
"No. Jeff control her"
"Why should I" he said a bit shocked
"Cause you need to stop beating around the damn bush and tell her you like her already" Maria giggled "And you. Your not off the hook. Just give him the time of day. And where's Matt. This is his job" she said
"He's supposed to be on a date" Jeff said as the buzz came from the intercoms
Mickie gave a sigh as she pressed the button "Hello"
"Hey you ready" John asked
"Yeah here come on up second floor third door" she said then buzzed him in "Just let him in alright" Mickie said going to the back room a knock soon came to the door
Jeff and Maria both answered the door meeting a casual John.
"Hi is she ready" he asked
"Yeah she'll be right out" Jeff said
"Please come in" they both stepped aside letting him in
"As we have meet already. This is Maria" John shock her hand "And I'm Jeff" Jeff had planned on giving John one of his bone crushing hand shakes but when he first shook his hand Jeff cringed
"I'm ready" Mickie said causing John to let go off his hand "What are you guys gonna do"
"Sit here and eat your food. Watch TV" Jeff said moving his hand so he could feel it
"Well you could come with us"
"You sure" Maria asked excited
"Yeah" Maria and Jeff looked at Mickie
"Yeah you can come"
"Alright let's go" John opened the door letting them all out
