The next day comes. Shinji was at his house getting ready for today's court hearing. Samantha walks in on him. " Leaving for work love?" she asked. Shinji turns around. " Yep there's a court hearing. Me and Mitch are going." Samantha nods. " Well I hope whoever this person is gets what he or she deserves." He smiles kissing her cheek. " I have to work a little while longer tonight but I should be home in time to take Julie to Rae's Christmas party." Samantha smiles softly. He grabbed his keys walking out to his car. He got in pulling away from the driveway. He saw Julie sitting by the window holding Sacha. Shinji smiles watching her. He pulled out all the way taking off down the street.
Mitch waited for Shinji outside of the courtroom. He leaned against the wall sighing to himself. He saw Shinji walk up finally. He got off of the wall walking over to him. " Sorry boss." He whispers. Mitch smiled. " Your right on time it's about to begin." The both of them walked in taking their respectful places at the front. The judge looked at them. " Detective Mitchell and Detective Shinji, so glad you finally decided to show up." Mitch nods. " Wouldn't miss it." The judge looks around the room as people piled into the courtroom. John was walked in with a police escort. He had on his prison uniform and sat down across from the two detectives. Mitch eyed John down. " ALL RISE THE HONORABLE JUDGE CHRIS RESIDING." Bellowed the prosecutor. Shinji and Mitch both stood up. Judge Chris stood up as well. " Take a seat this courtroom is now in sesson." Everyone sat back down again. " Today we will be discuss John Tsukiyama's recent escape from prison with illegal bond. Will the Defendant please take his seat up front." John was escorted to the front of the room and sat down in the chair next to the Judge. " Detective Mitchell you are now free to question the Defendant."
Mitch got to his feet and walked over to John. " John Tsukiyama are you aware of what your wife did?" he asked. John shrugged. " Nah I wasn't until she told me." Mitch turns leaning on John's podium a little. He looked the man deep in the eye. " Are you aware that the last time we spoke you were given the death penalty without bail?" he asked again. John nods. Mitch smiled a little bit. " John I want to ask this, what are you plans? I mean I heard about the little disturbance you caused in The Projects." John glared at Mitch. " What do you mean?" asked John. " The night before last I had gotten a call from one of my main officers down there telling me about a gang fight that had broken out. An eye witness saw you nearly murder Shihzuka Tsukiyama." John gulped and tried to keep his voice steady. " I have no knowledge of that, it could have been anyone." Mitch slammed his fists down in front of John. " Really? Are you calling my best man a lier?" Shinji watched in amazement. John shook his head. " No absolutely not." Mitch smiles. " So then your admitting it?" John sighed and looked down.
Mitch leans back from him. " John I feel sorry for your daughter honestly." He gets up and close to John's face. " With all the shit you put her through you miserable bastard." He backed away. " Shall I continue your honor?" he asked. Judge Chris nods. " You have the floor Mitchell." Mitch looks back at John. " I'm going to ask you another question, What happened to Mrs. Layla Tsukiyama?" he asked. John was silent for awhile. " I don't have all day Mr. Tsukiyama." John looks away not wanting to answer the question. " Detective Mitchell I think we should call a recess so Mr. Tsukiyama can gather his thoughts." Murmured Judge Chris. Mitch nods walking away from John. " This courtroom is now in Recess." Mitch and Shinji both headed into the lobby where lunch was being served. " Wow that was some tough questioning." Murmured Shinji. Mitch took a bit of his burger. He gulps it down. " Yeah I know." They sit until it was time to go back in.
" This courtroom is now back in session. Mitchell you have the floor once again." Murmured Judge Chris. Mitch walks up to John. " Well Mr. Tsukiyama do you have an answer for me?" he asked. John gulps painfully. " The night of I think it was 1997, I had kicked both her and my son out. During the years that followed, I have no clue." Mitch backs away slowly. " I think we have as much information to hereby convict you once again John." Murmured Mitch. " John Tsukiyama will now serve another life sentence in jail without bail. This hearing is now over." Mitch walked away rejoining Shinji. Shinji walks out to his car with Mitch. " I'll see you at the station." Murmured Shinji. Mitch nods getting into his crusier taking off. Shinji bit his lip.
Shinji followed Mitch back to the station. They walked into Mitch's office. Mitch sat down. He sighed softly. " Glad his ass is behind bars again." He murmured. Just then a fellow Officer walked in. " Sir we have John in integration right now if you wish to talk with him." Mitch nods. " Well today just keeps getting better and better." He gets back up again. He walks down to the integration room to find John sitting down in the chair. His eyes were on the ground. Mitch walks in motioning for Shinji to stay outside. " I'm guessing you want to tell me more information hm?" he asked. John nods. " I'll tell you everything you need to know." Mitch smiled. " Then let it begin."
