Tavares House
It was cause for celebration not only did Jordan get sent to prison the judge was not satisfied with the time given. He had given her more but they knew her father would have a bullseye on them. Even more so now that he's lost something now they would cease all illegal activities until further notice. Just being in that courtroom when the judge gave her more time was priceless.
Flashback
She was pissed "really Monty 25 years she doesn't belong in jail" she says shoving him, listen Michelle with good behavior she will be out in 15" he answered. " You arrogant son of bitch you didn't give a fuck about the truth then you would have saw past that woman's lies" she ranted. Looking at her "Michelle you need to take your voice down" he replies, I thought you liked it when I was loud not loud enough" she shouted.
Monty poised himself before getting extremely closer to her" I will be really careful Michelle don't push me" he says stepping back. Then walking away when she turned she saw Jordan she ran and hugged her older sister as the tears rolled down her face. "It's going to be okay this is my fault" Jordan says as her sisters hugged her "come on Ms. Johnson" the officer said.
When Monty got back to his office he closed the door and locked it "you did good Mijo" Manolo says with a grin. Making his youngest son smile "thanks Papi" he said sitting down loosening his tie, I was surprised they actually took the deal.
Monty laughed "her lawyer was freaking out trying to get her not to take the stand and the 15 to 25 looked good to them. Because she would be out in 7 to 10 but what I didn't know was Judge Turner would throw the book at her" he replies.
Pouring himself a drink "Tu queire Papi" Monty asked, shaking his head "No mijo i'm good but Judge Turner owed Melky a favor and he delivered is all I care about. And Captain Johnson will be distracted with this supposed leaks" the older man says with air quotes Monty laughed.
"No but seriously Papi how is Nena really I mean that I really want to know is she really okay" he asked. Manolo sighs "She's Nena you know she takes pain and keeps on moving you know so it's hard to tell.
And If you ask or hover it irritates her so unless she says something I don't push but you know your mother that isn't okay with her so. She pushes and Nena gets upset and says she's fine and wishes everyone would stop trying to handle her with kid gloves.
But thing one and thing two are always around and the kids drive her everywhere some times she has black outs but it's par for the course you know.
She has another few months before everything goes away" the man says, sitting back "do you believe she's okay because I tell you papi every time I saw her. Run her hands through her hair I got worried and I didn't want something to happen to her on the stand.
Because I know that's what Ms. Miller and the Johnson family wanted for her to lose it on the stand so they can make her look bad" Monty says rubbing his face.
"Well JT went over everything with her continuously so she wouldn't because she has been snappish especially with Orlando and Curtis. The kids sometimes to so it's been a challenge but she did it she was able to keep her cool which is good for her" his father replies.
When there was a knock at he door "Monty open the damn door" he heard he nodded as Manolo went into the closet. As he got up opening the door "What the hell was that man you threw Jordan under the bus for a win.
She's a good woman who made a mistake during a horrible time in her life and you crucified her for it do you realize what you just did. Her son is getting married next month he's also in medical school she's going to miss all that because of your ego man.
You cost my sister her life you could have took the L for the team but you didn't how the hell are we supposed to trust you now" Chuckie says.
Monty gritted his teeth"Like I told your sister before I put her ass to bed I'm not losing for anyone and I gave her the lightest charge I could possibly give. Due to the circumstances Chuckie the judge is the one who threw the book at her not me but i'm no bowing for anyone I play to win. You think your sister is any different from any other criminal that comes into my court room she's not.
I don't know why you think she should be why because I'm dating your sister and that can change Chuck so please don't act as though. That I owe you something like your sister was supposed to get a pass she almost killed this woman twice for a man she didn't want.
So don't put that shit on me because her shit came back to bite her in the ass not my fault" the lawyer shouted. Chuckie snarled "WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ONE THE SAME SIDE MONTY BUT GUESS WHERE NOT" he says.
"We are on the same side but wrong is wrong is wrong your sister carried herself as if she was above the law she is not" Monty says. "Would you say the same for those white boys or your spanish peoples but you choose to make an example out of the black ones' Chuckie spat coldly.
"Don't play that race card because i'm not fucking gringo I am a proud afro latino but you don't see that you want to make it some great fucking divide. And you know what you and your sister want to make me the bad guy so be it but I had a job to do for the victims not your sister.
Also there was no way she was walking Chuck at all" the lawyer shot back, "Junior stop he's right the law is not different because it's Jordan. She was caught doing something wrong and as much as it pains me which is alot Monty had a job to do and throwing the case would look suspect. The law applies to us just as well as a perp" Charlie senior says to his son as both men turned to see the elder.
The music was blasting everyone was dancing to merengue celebrating Elle's Fortieth birthday. Sam watched her best friend have the time of her life she was dancing with Danny. Who was loving the spot light "Can I dance with this handsome boy" Sam asked.
When Elle shook her head"No that's my little boyfriend because my other one anit acting right. This one here he won my heart with chocolate and his card" Elle says. With a smile as she gave Danny a hug and a kiss making the little boy smile.
"Hey, Hey, chamacito hands off"Orlando says picking Danny up off the ground and tickling him making him laugh. As he out Danny down"Titi says I'm a better boyfriend then you are"Danny says laughing as he ran away. "I can give her chocolate too" the man says as both women turned and looked at him.
"He's eight I wasn't going to say that to him come on now y'all forgot I raised kids to geeze ladies conjelo suave chula's" he says. With a fake innocent face as they both shook their heads"your an asshole Orlando you would have said that"Sam says.
As Elena laughed"yes you would you anit shit for that, come on Sammy let's dance him and his cohort can dance with each other" she says. When Sam took her hand and made it to the dance floor just then she looked seeing Curtis come in.
He had on a burgundy suit jacket a black pull over shirt and black pants. With burgundy leather shoes and hat "la cuerta coño Maldives hombre I hate him so very much. i'm going to get a drink you want one Sammy I need one"Elle says walking off.
Curtis knew what he was doing he knew that she loved him in that it made weak. He knew it was low move but he was running out of options and he had much respect for Orlando. But they both knew what time it was Ramy stood next to Kat"is he wearing his Baja panty outfit" she asked, "ummm he sure did take it there"Kat answered.
As Sam and Kaiya walked over"Did i just see that correctly" she says , what Curtis came what's the big deal" Sam asked. Ramy put her hand on Sam shoulder"Okay how do i put do you remember your reaction to Drew in his navy uniform. A few weeks ago when he got his honors and then y'all disappeared for like an hour.
And I'm sure you would baja panty any time you see him in it that look Sammy says it all. The point is that right there is Elle's outfit on him and he knows it"she says. "Basically its that outfit or something your man knows that is going to guarantee to get him the cookie" Kaiya says. "Ooohhh" Sam says, yeah where's Elle anyway" Camila asked.
While they looked around Elena stood at the bar tossing her drinks back"Elena can we talk" Curtis says. Standing next to her she was killing that dress it was a off the shoulder black Versace dress with gold stilettos on. Not even look at him "There's really nothing to talk about Curtis don't worry about me. Worry about your kids I'm good" Elle answered, I think we should and I see you don't want to but I need too.
Not just for you but for our kids too Elena you were never the problem I was no just hear me. You said it all the time that you like how I had it together and I knew what I was working towards. Then everything happened with Tommy and i found myself not knowing anything. Or what to do and I didn't want to be that guy you take care off. So I pretended to keep to keep it together just so you wouldn't see me wallowing" He says.
When he saw her roll her neck that's when he knew she was pissed" THEN WHY NOT COME TO CURTIS HUH WHY. DID YOU THINK THAT I WOULD SEE AS LESS OF A MAN. I MEAN WHAT CURTIS BYRON ASHFORD YOU HAVE THE FLOOR SERIOUSLY. YOU HAD JUST LOST YOUR BROTHER DID YOU NOT THINK I WOULD UNDERSTAND" she says.
Trying to keep her voice down"No Elle i knew you would get that but at the time I didnt think I deserved it alright. Tommy was the one not me my mother loved him more then anything straight A student. Standout athlete and perfect son the one who kept me out of trouble and doing dumb shit and all I every manage to do is hurt the people that love me.
That's what I did to him , to you and my mother she died watching me her screw up baby boy never get his shit together. Just felt you deserved better and me well I deserved to suffer for breaking my mother's heart. She wouldn't had lost here son if it hadn't been for me" Curtis says, baby that's not true your mother loved you she felt like she failed you.
Because she could never find that thing to connect with you and by the time you got big enough. You just wanted to be with your big brother all the time and you would follow him around and imitate everything he did. And he didn't mind she never had favorites between you and your brother if anything she we wished.
Tommy would just relax and enjoy his had work but with him everything had to be perfect. Curtis you just had an ease and didn't take things to seriously she wished you had just a little of Tommy's drive" Stella said rubbing his back. "So all the time she said to be like my brother she meant " was all he got " she meant drive baby she didn't want to change you" his aunt says.
Taking a deep before grabbing his hand "Curtis I forgive and with that being said no listen i could never really hate you. Because you gave me my kids and they are the very best of us and you didn't got through with our plan by yourself. With yourself as bait and you fucking her is a big hell no and the fact you came in here in your slut outfit. Probably drenched in Jean Paul Gauiter is dirty and underhand an I should beat your ass but I won't.
Because It's my birthday and I'm in a really good mood so where good" Elle said making him smile letting her know what she said was true. " Can a brother get another dance" Curtis asked shaking her head before walking away hastily going inside the house. Closing her eyes and took a deep breath rubbing her hands together the girls peeked in" you wanted to fuck him didn't"Kat says.
With a smirk plastered on her face "Un chin it's not me it's that damn outfit and I would put money on it. The man don't have no draws on" she answered when they all started laugh as she shook her head. "Hell you just told him if he didn't have messy dick that he would of had a chance" Ramy says.
Making her head swing around "No the fuck I did not I am with Orlando and I am fully committed to him okay" she answered. "But In actuality you kinda did"Emelda says with a grin knowing it would piss her sister off Elle just stared at them. "You know what bye i'm going to enjoy my party and dance with my kids and my actual first love fucking bitches" she says leaving. The family enjoyed the rest of the night dancing and have a good time with each other.
Baltimore, Maryland
It had been a rough few months with Detective Rollins death and Jordan's incarseration and them looking to find the leak in department. "Alright I went over the surveilance footage of Detective Rollins death and whoever killed her knew to stay out of the cameras. Because see here they approached her but the SUV was blocking the assailant. All we can see is she confronts someone and this is where they stab her obviously it's someone we know.
And we know that because her last words was Tavares has another kid so we are looking a for someone between the age 30 - 35. They are feeding Tavares with information it's why we could never actually nail him and we really need to weed this out. We need to find this person Monty " Charlie sr said. I looked threw everyone in the DA's office and I couldn't find any links but I will keep looking.
I was there with Detective Rollins I did what I could to save her life and even putting myself in danger going after the assailant. I don't know if it's male or female what I do know is they killed one of us so we needed to do everything we can to catch them" Monty says. He felt wrong even saying it but if he had to choice he would protect his any day.
