CHAPTER 5 - THE ONE AND ONLY - BILLY FLYNN!

Kacey's first morning in the Cook County Jail had been spent working, getting to know her inmates and doing a "favour" for Mama which left her feeling quite supprised as she found it was'nt as bad as expected,in return Mama had let her take the afternoon off,which was just as well because she'd been told two women were here to see her.

"Roxie! Velma!,oh I'm so glad to see you guys!" Kacey shouted as she was led into the visitor's room.

"Hey Kacey, how are ya?!"

"Well I'm ok, but this woman we all call Mama is abit weird, this mornig I had to do a favour for her to get the afternoon off!"

"And, what favour was that?" said Roxie knowingly.

"I had to kiss her!" Kacey said shuddering.

"Good old Mama, she hasn't changed abit!" Velma laughed.

"You guys knew what she was like all along?!"

"Oh sure, she was exactly the same when Rox and I were here."

"Both of you were here!!" Kacey was astonished.

"Yeah, I killed my sister Veronica and husband Charlie when I caught them in bed together, and roxie killed her abusive lover Fred Casley when he lied to her."

Kacey seemed quite shokced at the information, it all seemed too much to take in.

"But how did you guys get off?"

"We had an amazing lawyer - Billy Flynn, he made Velma make a false deal with Harrison to get her off and got me aquitted at my trial.He's never lost a case yet!"

"I couldn't get a lawyer like that, I don't have any money, so I don't know what I'm gonna do, except hang for a crime I didn't commit as knowone will believe me."

"We believe you, you haven't got it in you - just like a prisoner "The Hunyak" who used to be here when Rox and I came to Cook County."

"What happened to her?"

"She hung - only because she didn't have Billy Flynn as her lawyer and Roxie and I are gonna get him for you!"

"Oh thank you, I don't know how I can repay you!"

"You don't have to do nothin' - he'll be here tomorrow, don't worry!"

Billy Flynn entered the Cook County Jail ready to meet his new cliant, according to Velma and Roxie she was only 15 - cute looking with dark brown eyes and short black hair. She was an orphan and definatly did not commit her crime. This could be his easiest case yet!

Kacey knew it was him as soon as she saw him, he was everything a lawyer should be - quite old probably early 5o's but not hard to look at, dressed smartly and had an air of importance about him.

"Mr. Flynn! Mr. Flynn!"

Billy looked at the speaker - pretty kid, maybe what Velma might have looked like at that age, he was gonna like representing her! He walked into Kacey's cell and sat down on a cair near her cot.

"You must be Kacey Fizelle."

"Yeah."

"Right, tell me about yourself."

Where should she start, the truth or the lie? - Maybe honesty could be the best policy in this case...

"Mr. Flynn, this may sound weird, but I'm in some sort of time-slip, I actualy come from the year 2001."

"Listen Kid, if you come out with stuff like that you'll be taken to the Cook County Nuthouse, anyway you're in no position to joke around!"

Kacey sighed, the lie it would have to be...

"Right Sorry. Anyway, my parents died when I was a baby, and as I had no other family I was put in an orphanage - which was hell so..."

"So, you were treated dispicably - starved and beaten at every oppertunity until you could stans it no longer, and bravly you ran away!" (God, he was a better liar then she was!)

"Erm...Yes....Then I met Roxie and Velma who let me stay in their hotel room."

"You had knowhere else to go, livibg anf begging on the streets, until two kind women let you stay in the hotel with them."

"Well, I was in the hotel room sleeping when I was woken by two bangs. I went to see what it was and found the man dead - the gun was beside him, I picked it up, because I thaught it could help the police, but then a woman saw me and assumed I had killed him." It seemed Billy was wrapped up in his own story...

"You could'nt sleep, so you decide to take a walk, you go down the corridoor, Mr. Smith comes out of his room, grabs you then drags you inside. He hits you and you fall to the floor and he kisses you roughly, you look on the floor and see a gun. Fearing what he might do mext and scared for you're life, you shoot him, as fear has made you loose control!"

"But I didn't shoot him!"

"Look, I know that, you know that. Roxie and Velma know that. But, the press and the rest of Chicago don't. Believe me kid, the more victomised you sound, the more people will love you. Trust me, as soon as you're press conference with Mary Sunshine is over everyone will be on you're side!"
