Becoming my own man
Chapter 26:
Hello?
Yes My name is Cameron Cooper I represent Mr Russell Patrick.
Yes Mr. Cooper how may I help you?
Ma'am I am calling in response to the case pending in your court
I would like to bring a proposal to you.
Mr. Cooper I am a judge of the Superior court of this state and I think that you May need to take your proposal to Attorney Steven Jones and DA Clark because hey are he only two people who will hear any kind of proposals from attorneys. You know this as an attorney so to call me is completely a waste of both my time and yours as well.
I would thank you to take it to them and I will hear the evidence as it is placed in front of me.
Have a good day sir.
Wow I do not believe that man I think that he was going to try to bribe me I think that I best call Steve and give him a heads up.
Hi Bethany how are you?
Steve I think that I was about to be bribed so you guys may want to watch your backs because this guy is trying to play any card that he can to stop this case from going to trial.
Bethany if they want to try to play cards they better realize that we hold all of the aces in the deck.
I know Steve but do not underestimate these guys because they are capable of doing anything so please be careful and keep everyone else safe because this is going to be a biggie.
I think that we have allot of fight in us that we will get it done.
Steve I am not going to treat this case as a game or take sides I am going to take all of the evidence into consideration and I will treat this as any other case.
I am an officer of the court and so I uphold the law I am not here to make sure that my friends win cases.
Yes Ma'am your honor I understand.
I trust that you have all of the evidence in front of the DA?
Yes Your honor the DA has every piece of evidence as well as witness statements and the list of witnesses that will be called for the plaintiffs.
Thank you Mr. Jones I will look forward to seeing you in my court at 8:00 AM tomorrow morning.
Goodnight Bethany.
Goodnight Steve.
Good Morning Angel!
Good Morning Baby!
What time is it?
It is 6:00 AM.
Shit we better get our asses in gear.

With that being said Will pulled the blankets off of him and started to get up and Sonny grabbed Wills arm and he said Hold it there Mr Kiriakais!
Angel we have to get ready come on now.
William Robert Horton -Kiriakis what is up?
You better start talking to me right now!
Sonny to be honest with you I have a bad feeling about today!
Why Baby?
Angel I do not want anyone to be there but us.
Why?
Baby you know that they want to be there to show their support.
Angel if anything at all happens to ay of our family it would kill me.
Angel I wish that you did not have to go.
Listen Baby you and I will go alone but they will be called as witnesses at some point and will have to be there.
I know I also know exactly what to do to keep them safe also.
What do you plan to do baby?
You will see Angel and I will keep you safe also no mater what I have to do no one will be harmed at all.
Hey! You are not going to do anything illegal are you Baby no nothing illegal at all.
OK Baby I am going to get up and I am going to shave and shower ad then I will help you OK?
OK Angel I will be right here.
Will waits until Sonny is in the shower and he calls is dad.
Hey Will whats up Son?
Hey Dad I would like to call in a favor with Jimmie and the boys.
Really! Will what is going on?
Dad I am really worried about today and I want to make sure that everyone is safe and protected completely and I want Jimmie to bring in his team to watch everyone and also I want vests for everyone and each one of you will have a man with you at all times.
Will son I understand what you are saying and I will call them right now and get them to take a chopper here right now. Good call me and let me know exactly when they are touching down we need them here in an hour oh and we are going to need three cars too.
I will call the company here in town and have them ready in an hour.
OK Dad so everything is set on that end then?
Yes Will I got this. To be honest with you I made the call to Jimmie last night and I only have to make confirmations for everything.
Mr. Horton everything is ready and we drove the cars down so we do not have to get anything local.
Will Everything is set and they are going to be here in a few minuets.
They brought the cars so that is taken care of and everything else is ready too.
We are going to be going in there looking like we are the damned swat team but at least everyone will be safe.
Dad do something else for me please?
What is it son?
Please make sure that everyone does not stick out like a sore thumb.
Also please I want make sure that Sonny is absolutely safe so make sure that they understand that he is a very high priority I am not worried too much about myself but Sonny and you guys will be protected even if it takes everything I have in me to do it.
Don't worry son no one will have a snowballs chance in hell of hurting any of us.
Thank you!
Sonny hears Will talking to someone about something but he has no idea who it could be and so he asks Will some questions.
Hey Baby who were you just talking to?
Angel I was making certain that everyone would be completely safe so I called in a couple of favors.
What Favors Baby?
I will tell you as we are getting ready.
OK Baby.
Will told Sonny of the steps that he has taken to keep everyone safe as Sonny was helping him shower and dress.
Baby Damn you have us sounding like we are going to go into a war zone.
Angel right now that is exactly what we will be doing.
OK Baby.
Now to spread the happy news to the rest of the troops.
OH MY GOD! WILL AREN'T YOU GOING TOO FAR WITH THIS?
HELL NO MOM!
NONE OF MY FAMILY WILL BE IN DANGER AT ALL AND IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO IT MY WAY I WILL HAVE HELD IN A WAITING CELL DOWNSTAIRS AND GUARDED BY A POLICE OFFICER!
I REFUSE TO HAVE ONE OF YOU LEFT UNPROTECTED!
Sami said I am sorry Will I did not mean to question your intent.
Mom I am sorry that I shouted like that but I love all of you way too much to take any chance whatsoever.
Your lives mean more to me than even my own so I am going to take any effort necessary for your safety.
Jimmie came in and he handed each person a vest and asked them to wear them either under their shirts or their blouses so that they will not be as obvious.
This case will be held in a closed court room no press no cameras and there is a complete gag order placed for every person in the court room.
Mr. Horton -Kiriakis I understand that you have asked each person to be assigned a man to guard them and that it all set to happen as soon as these doors open each person will be placed into the car with our men who are assigned to them.
You will not go any where unattended our men will be with you every time you go any where. I will warn you that every man is armed and have been cleared by the court to carry their weapons at all times.
If there happens to be any issue we know all exits and our men will get you there quickly and safely.
Does anyone have any questions if not then lets roll people.
Twenty minuets later everyone shows up in the court room Sonny pushing Wills chair to the front of the room Next to Steve as Well as the prosecutor and the DA.
Steve Will and Sonny as well as the DA and the state prosecutor were seated at the table. On the other side of the room was Mr. Patrick and
Comoran Cooper sitting and talking.
Steve we do have our special witnesses that will be called don't we?
Yes Will they are here and they are being held downstairs until we give the word for them to be sent up.
When Will they be called in?
Will they will more likely than not be the first witnesses that we call Judge Alison reviewed the recording of them confessing as to their roles in this and because she is allowing it the defense can not object because they are already aware of what the recording is and that it was not obtained illegally and that the witnesses have complete knowledge and will be in this court room as the recording is being played.
What about Libb?
Is hr recording admissible?
Yes it is because the defense is fully aware of it and she is here also.
The recordings would not be admirable if both parties were not in he room to be questioned.
Will is sitting in his chair a he is turning very pale and so Sonny told him to take one of his pills because he looks as if he is going to have a panic attack and Will took one and settled down he said Angel this is very nerve wreaking and I just hope that I have done enough to ensure every ones safety.
My God Baby what else could be done for us?
You have taken care of every single person and you are sitting there questioning as to if you have done enough?
God Baby I love you so much but please just stop worrying so mush about everyone else keep your focus on the task at hand now. We are in the home stretch it will be all over very soon now.
All stand this court will come to session honorable Bethany Alison processed.
Please be seated.
Case number 27381
Is the case of William Horton and Jackson Kiriakais versus Russel Patrick the charge of attempted murder.
And negligent care causing permanent damages to Mr. Horton.
Mr. Patrick what is you plea?
Not guilty your honor.
Let it go on record as Mr Patrick is stating a plea of not guilty with out a jury trial.
I will hear opening statements at this time Mr. Jones you have the floor at this time.
Thank you your honor.
Your honor we are going to prove that Mr. Patrick not only knowingly but intentionally tried to murder Mr. Horton with out a shadow of a doubt.
Mr Patrick had but one thing on his mind as soon as he saw Mr. Horton rolled into the hospital that day and that was to intentionally make sure that my Mr. Horton had every single reason not to recover but in fact he wanted him to die and for his family to pay allot of money to assure that he was getting the utmost of care.
Mr. Kiriakis found out that Mr. Horton had a very rare blood type the very same blood type in which he has an so he quickly decided to give two units of his own blood in order to give the blood that was being delivered to the hospital the time necessary to get there.
But what No one know was that as swoon as Mr. Patrick saw Mr. Horton come in he looked at the records knowingly giving Mr. Horton two units of O+ blood knowing that would cause a reaction that could result in the death of Mr. Horton.
Mr. Kiriakais told Mr. Patrick of the rare blood type and he had pretended that he did not know and so they discontinued use of O+ blood and gave him two units of the proper blood type that they had on hand in the hospital and because Mr. Horton was bleeding internally those two units of blood were bled out of Mr. Horton's system quickly. Your honor we are going to prove with out a doubt that even before Mr. Horton was admitted into the hospital that steps had been taken in order to destroy Mr. Horton's business as well and in closing your honor I would like to say that by the attempted and intentional negligence on Mr. Patrick's part that Mr. Horton has incurred great harm medically and has to be treated medically for the rest of his life. Thank you honor.
Thank you Canceler Cooper you have the floor at this time..
Thank you your honor.
