One month and fourteen days earlier… This's what really happened that night
Mike's eyes remained on the screen; he knew the identity of the man that had driven that car. Harvey had left to get a good night sleep and Mike had remained in his bed and continued on researching the man that had taken his four precious years away. The name was Bennet Jackson and his job was to talk about sports on channel five. He had 1 DUI, a gambling addiction, and had even been arrested at a casino for trying to pay of his debts by using a checking account with insufficient funds.
This guy was no good news, he seemed shady. He wanted this guy to- he wanted him to pay. He was pissed, what if he had driven under the influence that night? Mike was mad, it wasn't fair, he wanted his memories back. Too bad you always want the things you cannot have… Mike took his cellphone from his nightstand and looked at the contact list. There were three numbers and two descriptions programmed into his phone.
1. Harvey (Only call when necessary)
2. Donna (You can ask me the thing you wanted to ask Harvey)
3. Rachel.
Could he really call him after all? Donna seemed to be amazing because she seemed to know everything, but he didn't feel like calling her right now. He contemplated whether he should or shouldn't call Harvey, but he shrugged; whatever, he pressed the call button.
"Mike? What's going on, are you alright?"
"Oh, yeah, sorry, I'm fine." A short pause,
"Is there a particular reason to why you're calling me at 1 AM?" Mike looked at the clock, 01:03, shit, he had lost track of time.
"Oh, no or… kind of. So the guy who hit me with his car is named Bennet Jackson. Like, I know his name, face, why isn't he in jail already."
"Mike you know why, you read the law book when you studied for the Bar."
"I know but, thinking that he's out there… it gives me the creeps."
"Listen, it's all going to work out just fine, just don't do anything stupid and go to bed. I need my seven hours so if you don't mind-"
"But-"
"No but, goodnight Mike," he hung up. Nice. Mike placed down the cell and went to the Jackson's guy website. And suddenly, a plan formed in Mike's head, at that moment, it seemed brilliant. Mike wasn't sure if this Harvey guy would actually nail him down, but with Mike's idea there was no way that the guy would walk. So he wrote Jackson an email with a made up address; I know what you did. Mike just wanted to rattle him, to scare him so that he would know that he was going away to jail for a long time. But he shouldn't have taunted the devil. Because by that point there was no way out of this.
