Malice
Chapter 29
After they had taken Hans towards the back to be processed. Gates went to speak with Anthony Fords about his client not saying anything important. (She lied)
Walking into the break room. Fords was still drinking his coffee waiting for someone to say something to him about his client. Gates walked in with what she was going to say to him in the first place.
"Where is my client Inspector Gates?" He asked with concern with his demeanor.
"Hans Gruber has been placed in a cell in the back with saying nothing at all to me in the room. I will try again later when I had enough sleep to have my brain fogged no longer. However there is going to be a chance that he might be seeing a judge for his bail. So I suggest you stay in the area for that hearing on his bail." Gates replied to the lawyer and Loan shark.
"He doesn't have a lot of money in his account that he kept while working for the Carnival. So I and my associates will no doubt post the bail depending on the amount. Now if you will excuse me I want to see my client Hans Gruber for just a moment to make sure he's all right in the cell."
"Just be sure not to harass him, Mr. Fords. I don't need to have an argument started between the both of you. There has already been enough blood shed the past few days." Victoria Gates replied with slight anger as she walks out to head for her office to sign out. She has enough personnel to take over for the rest of the over night watch.
While in the back with Hans Gruber in the cell. She has two officers keeping an eye out. Especially when Anthony Fords is there speaking to him for a few moments.
Fords comes over to where Hans Gruber is located. He speaks to the two officers. "Gates knows I am here to speak with him for a few minutes. Is it possible to open the door so that I can go inside?"
"I am sorry. The cell door is to stay closed until further notice. I suggest you stay behind the cell door to speak with your client." Lt. Franklin ordered towards the lawyer.
"Hans are you all right?" Fords asked.
"Fine! Just to let you know I didn't say anything to Inspector Gates. And I don't plan to at all. When is my hearing with the judge for the bail?" He asked with concern due to the fact he has very little money in his bank account.
"Don't know. It's why I am staying in the area to help you with the bail. Since we have a special account for these type of situations Hans. So just take it easy until than." Fords said before walking away to head out of the 12th precinct to make his calls.
