Back to being Zoe :)
FBI HRT sniper rifle… She knew that could be linked to me...She could have gotten my prints from anywhere…
Stahl stepped in front of your cell. "I have to give it to you June, pretty fucking flawless." you said putting down your pen and paper.
"What I don't understand is why you aren't putting up more of a fight. I really am disappointed." she said leaning against the yellow metal bars. You scoffed. You knew Juice was working on a plan with the guys. It had been a month since you had first been arrested. You called Juice this morning and they said they were close to figuring everything out.
"I've faced reality. You won." you said turning your back to her and picking back up your pen.
You waddled down the long hallway of the courthouse. The waist chains around you, only allowed a few inches of walking space per step. This was it… the start to the end of your life. It had been 2 months since being arrested. At first you played being coy. Making Stahl think she had won but now, she really had.
The doors into the courtroom opened and the sea of faces blended together. You scanned the crowd for the guys. They aren't here. Stahl sat confidently behind the prosecutor and grinned at you. Your lawyer stood and greeted you.
"Zoe, you doing okay?" Lowen asked giving you a quick hug.
"I best as I can be I suppose." you said showing her your still cuffed hands. "Where are the guys? Why aren't they here?" you asked more worried about them than the fact you were about to be thrown in prison.
"They picked up Jax and Clay for conspiracy. Just trust me though, you'll be out of those cuffs in the next hour." she said taking her lead seat at the table.
You sat next to her and scanned the room again. Still no Juice.
"Please be seated." said the bailiff. The judge took his seat on the stand. Judge Manor locked on with you. "I'm VERY surprised at the fact that such a strong and brilliant woman is being put on trial for this heinous murder. The Sons of Anarchy have been apart of this town since I can remember." he adjusted his glasses and continued. "Miss. Lowen, are you ready to begin?" he asked.
"Your honor I actually am not ready to begin. My client just advised me that COs within the jail refused to let her relieve herself." Lowen stood and adjusted her blouse. "If I could request a brief recess."
Stahl crossed her arms in disgust. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." she spat.
Manor hit his gavel and pointed it in Junes direction. "Watch your language in my courtroom." he said. He turned back to Ally and smiled. "10 minute recess. please have your client back in this courtroom ready to go this time."
She nodded and pushed you to the main door of the courtroom, a guard only steps behind. We quickly made our way into the women's restroom and she locked the door behind us. "Ally, what the hell is going on?!" you asked turning back to face her.
Just then a bathroom stall opened. His goofy grinned spread across his face. His cut sitting square on his shoulders. His tribal head tattoos now nonexistent beneath his full head of hair. "Hey." Juice said stepping out of the stall.
You ran towards him and slipped his head between your cuffed hands. He picked you up by your waist and pushed you against the bathroom sink. His lips crashing against yours. "This is what I was waiting for." Lowen said clearly feeling uncomfortable from the PDA but you didn't care. He was here…
Lowen cleared her throat and Juice stepped back. "Sorry." he said running his hand over his hair. He pulled a white envelope from his cut and handed it to Lowen. She opened it and began reading.
You raised your hands and ran them over Juices head. "This is new." you said grinning through the tears now falling down your face. He wiped your face just before they fell. "Guess I've been a little busy lately." he said grabbing your hands in his.
He kissed them gently as he looked down at you. "I'm so sorry for everything Zo." he said.
You pulled him into another hug. You didnt want to let go but you knew this was too good to last. He rubbed his hand up and down your back trying to comfort you. He tried…
"Juan Carlos… this is just what I need." Lowen said stepping towards the door. "Zoe lets go."
You took your seat back at the table in the courtroom. Judge Manor sat down and leaned forward. "Miss. Lowen, are you finally prepared?" he said
Ally stood still holding the folded papers in front of her. "Your honor, I actually have one final piece of evidence I would like to submit." she said hold up the stack. I turned to Juice and he smiled. Chibs and Tig sitting next to him.
Judge Manor readover whatever it was. He looked at Stahl then to me. "In light of new evidence I would like to apologize on behalf of the San Jaquin sheriff's office and this court. We have wrongly judged by others actions and that is a travesty." he said "bailiff, please take June Stahl into custody for homicide, witness tampering, false reporting, and contempt." he continued.
