Chapter 1-- Sentencing
"Where's my lawyer?" Akiyo says.
Akiyo Takashiwa is a member of the Yakuza in Liberty City. He is around 5 feet 6 inches tall. He weighs around 145 pounds. He is wearing a black leather jacket and has his black hair slicked back. His eyes are different colors, one of them is blue and the other is gray. He is being charged for the murder of a high ranking police officer in Liberty City. Today he is wearing a black suit. Normally he would be wearing a black leather jacket and black khakis.
"I don't know Akiyo. He was supposed to be here over 20 minutes ago. The trial starts in 45 minutes." His friend Shinji Hakashi says.
Shinji Hakashi is one of the few people that Akiyo associates himself with that isn't "involved". He is a little smaller then Akiyo. He ways around 130 pounds and is 5 feet 4 inches tall. He has brown hair that is messy and has brown eyes. He is wearing a blue suit.
"Mr. Takashiwa, is your representative here yet?" One of the bailiffs asks.
"Not yet. He should be here any minute." Akiyo answers.
His lawyer wheels in around 20 minutes before the trial. He is in a wheelchair and has a blanket draped over his legs. The alarm on the metal detector goes off, but they let him through because of the wheelchair.
"Are you ready Akiyo? This is the day that you change your life." His lawyer says.
They walk into the courtroom and take their seats.
"Please rise for the honorable Judge Francis Perkins." A bailiff announces.
"Akiyo Takashiwa, do you understand the charges that are being brought against you?" The judge says.
"Yes." Akiyo answers.
The trial goes back and forth for about five hours. Each side shows its evidence and the jury goes back to delegate. 50 minutes later the jury room door is opened and they file back in.
"Has the jury reached a decision?" Judge Perkins asks.
"We have your honor. We find that the defendant Akiyo Takashiwa is hereby found guilty of all charges. First degree murder. First degree assault with a deadly weapon." The head juror says.
As the court room fills with cheers, the doors slam open. About 10 Yakuza soldiers armed with Uzi's and .45's enter the court room. The lawyer stands up and grabs an Uzi that was under the blanket. Gun shots fill the air as the Yakuza soldiers shoot all the bailiffs and the lawyer fills the judge full of bullets.
"We get you out… now." His faux lawyer says.
The men shield Akiyo as they leave the Court house. They pile into their Elegys and Sultans. They drive away from the court house in a 7 car chain.
