Miami, Florida

Federal court

After clearing the court room Sam sat in disbelief it made sense now why her friend was having a hard time. It was some what reminiscent to what they went through as teenagers. Nobody knew the extent of it because they never told anyone not even Elle's or Ramona's parents.

Every one thought she didn't remember but she did she knew they wanted to protect her at all cost. Drew and Curtis stepped away to check on the kids Sammy C what's up" Elle says, why didn't you tell me what happened that night" she asked.

"Why would I put that to you Sam you already felt like it was your fault I didn't want you to feel worse. And I already told you I will walk through fire for you and your kids it was my cross to bare"Elle says.

"See that's the thing Elle I protect you just as much as you protected me" Sam says, I know you have but you have gotten the brut of all the bullshit we endured because of Cody "Elena said. Nodding in agreement "how did you know to run" she asked her friend with a sigh"He had that Sam look in his eyes that Donovan had and I knew if I didn't put distance between us.

He was going rape me and the would be no stopping him and it was like he knew I would go for a weapon and I fought for my life because of Pax he didn't deserve that not again you know "she answers. Making Sam looks at her"Is that what happened to Magalys"Sam asked, turning to Her shaking her head" Sam it was so bad my little boy sat in his mother's blood for 45 minutes before Josh got there when they killed him.

And for what they didn't have any thing I purposely made sure he knew that he should never keep more then thousand dollars at the house.

Sam I knew his friend was a trifling bitch ass but I couldn't judge the kid I had to let him see it for himself and every day I wish I hadn't. I wish I had pushed more because maybe they would be here but I couldn't let him go through that again" she says.

There was a silence between the two women" we have been in alot of mature situation haven't we and you always came after me" Sam said. Taking her hand" Yes we have and I will always come for you Sammy C your my best friend I got your back. From the cradle to the grave mamacita" Elena says.

Making her friend smile" Same here I love you Elle"she says, right back atcha shortly" she replies. That's when Esmerelda sat in between them resting her hand on the both of Sam and Elle. "You know I wish I could take the pain away from all of my girls but I can't. Nena you take in pain for the people you love and never bat an eye.

When you love you love hard so instead of taking pain like it's some badge of honor. It's just pain you my princesa deserve to be happy you can't blame yourself for what happened. With Magalys and Josh or her you are one person.

Samantha you take less of all if it think you deserve it for doing what you knew. But you are smarter then you ever gave yourself but you always sold yourself short. I knew from when you were children that you learnt differently it's why I taught you differently.

You always thought you weren't smart enough, not pretty enough just not enough but you are. Mamita you are beautiful and strong and make sure your children know that" the older woman says. Just then Jordan came over " I need to talk to you" she says, No Jordan this bitch is a liar you don't need to speak to her about nothing" Michelle says.

"Michelle stop!" Jordan says before turning to Elle who watched her suspiciously, "How can I help you Jordan" Elena says. Just as Curtis and Drew was turning the corner "What do you want to" he asked going to stand by Elle. Who stopped him"It's fine" she says as he glared at Jordan and her sister who glared right back at him.

Trying to pull her sister away she had worked so hard to get revenge for her sister and she was just too close to see it through. "Jordan this bitch ruined your life over a lie that they orchestrated just to get you out of the picture you don't owe this bitch anything" Michelle spat. "Enough Michelle damn it I am a grown woman I realize now that he was just being a friend.

And instead of being supportive I pushed to get my own way pushing him away in the process. I am sorry what you went through I should have down my job when he made his threat but I didn't. That I am truly sorry for but make no mistake about it I know exactly who you are and your family.

So trust me none of you will get away with It" Jordans says shocking her sister "aww thank you but I have no Idea about what your yammering on about. But thanks for the concern" Elle replies, Jordan chuckled "Your not slick you may have not set up your assault but everything else you did. Including capitalizing on his concern for you Ms. Tavares you don't fool me you are cold, calculating and manipulative" she said.

Shrugging her shoulders "Well your entitled to your opinion about and not for nothing I don't really care either" Elena countered. "But you are a lying cheating skank" Michelle says when Elle sighs "you just don't what you got yourself into do you.

But by all means do what you want Ms. Johnson I will have the last laugh you can try to destroy my reputation but you won't" she said. As they got up and walked away leaving them standing there"Don't you dare threaten my sister" Jordan says.

Making Elle stop "I didn't threaten anyone I told her she wrote a check her ass can't cash but good luck though. You ladies have a wonderful day because I know I will" she says, as TJ just looked at them shaking his head.

In Chambers

"Your honor you don't understand this was not the evidence that I was going to show you I had proof that Ms. Tavares set this whole thing up" Diane insist. "Right like this Michelle Johnson fabricating evidence for you to show in my courtroom"Judge Sterling says. "There was no fabrication in this she brought this to me to my attention" she says. Nodding his head "Hmmm do I look stupid to you Ms. Miller I have been doing this for a very long time.

Don't insult my intelligence I know exactly what I read Ms. Miller and I am no stupid man either" he says. "I...I... would never say or thin such things your honor but I am telling you I did not conspire to fabricate evidence. This was merely brought to me" Diane says, yeah just like there wasn't a payment made to this Michelle Johnson in the toon of 75 thousand dollars.

That was wired to her account right after this meeting you took with her are you refuting what's in this document that you brought into evidence" Judge Sterling said. Coughing nervously watching the nonsense judge" Umm I am not denying that I met with her per say but I am saying I did not pay her to fabricate evidence and I had no idea that she had. I thought everything she brought me was above reproach so I had no reason to question.

The integrity of the her or the evidence she brought to me" Diane says as he watched her "and you didn't check it out for yourself Ms. Miller. Your to smart of a lawyer not to so please don't lie to my face when I can see clear as day the bar will hear from me.

And so will your firm these tactics won't work here the continuation of this trial will be postponed. Until the time that you go before the review board where it would be looked into. To see if you will be brought up on charges as well and if it is found out that you conspired with Ms. Johnson you may go now Ms. Miller" he says opening the door.

When he stopped speaking to the bailiff then going back into the judges chambers taking a deep breathe. And holding her head high but she didn't feel as strong as she pretended to be she would get tot he bottom of this. On how they found out Spinelli's friend made sure it wouldn't be traced back to him with Spinelli overseeing the whole thing.

Just then the doors to the courtroom opened again as everyone made their way back into the court. And taking their seats the Jason was brought back in as well "Due to what just happened this case will be postponed until you find another lawyer Mr. Morgan. You can ad witness tampering to your listed of crimes that may work up north but not here in the state of Florida.

Officer take him back to jail now this court is adjourned" Judge Sterling says hitting his gavel. Michelle looked at Diane who wouldn't look at her she was pissed that the case wasn't dropped she gave them alot to blow that bitch out the water. Just then the officer stopped in front of her "Michelle Johnson you are under arrest for fabricating evidence.

In a federal trial you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?" the officer said.

"What are you talking about I didn't fabricate any evidence" Michelle says, Michelle say nothing be quiet what are you talking about" Jordan said. As she watch them arrest her sister and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

"Mom what's going on with aunt Michelle" TJ asked, "I don't know baby but I'm going with her you guys go home. You guys have classes I will call you when I know more" she answered, none of them saw that Diane was being escorted out as well.

When TJ looked over at Elena who heading the other way out through the back as he went after her "What did you do to my aunt" he said without touching her. "TJ!" Molly say, what you said it yourself Moll she was too calm like she knew something was up" he says. "For the record I didn't do anything to your aunt TJ that has nothing to do with me.

Yes I knew that Ms. Miller was fabricating evidence but I had no idea your aunt was involved but now I have to go to the hospital so we can get the our blood work proven he and I are not drug addicts as your auntie proclaimed" Elena says. Turning and walking away"Uncle Curtis i'm sorry but I had to know" the young man says.

"I get it nephew you but this has your auntie written all over this and we already knew she was the one who leaked this case. Making a frenzy of our lives my son can't go to school because we got reporter camped out side our home outside our jobs. The clinic we have to take the boat to her parents house where we have to take a incognito car.

And he has to be home schooled by her cousin which isn't good for him because he just started talking. We don't want him to go back to not talking " Curtis says, sighing I don't want that either Uncle Curtis but this has to stop" TJ says. "I agree and I will see what I can do " he says patting TJ on the back before leaving.
