Chapter 32
I got out of the shower and dried off, it had been about 5 minutes and I quickly changer into jeans and a button up shirt.
I go upstairs and knock on Bogo's door.
"Enter." Comes the reply
I enter to find the usual crowd and close the door
"Yes chief?" I ask
"Just want to know of any kind of problem you may of had while in the Burrows." Bogo states
"Other then the one you already knew about. No, it was nice and peaceful."
"Okay thank you. About how to get you out of the building. I had your pickup towed to your apartment Cameron, so you will be made look like a criminal and taken home by Wolford. Nick and Judy is the tricky thing, Any suggestions?"
"I have an idea." Wolford begins "Have any spare duffel bags?"
"Why?" I ask
"Because Judy can easily fit in one. She can be carried to the vehicle by me and I will put her in the back with you." Wolford says
"And why would I agree to that?" Judy asks
"Okay then, walking through the crowd of press." I say
"Fair point."
"Is have an idea for me." Nick says "Is can get Finnick to get one of his old vehicles from the scrap yard and have him 'Crash' into another vehicle of ours that is driven by one of Mr. Big's henchmen."
"How will that help?" Bogo asks
"Media like car crashes right?"
"Tell Finnick to make sure a fire starts in one of the cars." I say.
"Okay let's set this up." Judy says
Half an hour later the media crowd had grown in size and anger. Bogo had released a statement that Nick and Judy had been with their lawyer and we're not going to answer any questions to no avail.
"Okay ready?" I say
I had my street clothes on, with a old baseball cap and my aviator sunglasses. Judy has easily fit into a duffel bag carried by Wolford who was in his uniform.
"You sure this is going to work?" Judy asks as we approach the door
"Just stay quiet and hope the media doesn't want to get in the way of an officer." I say
Wolford nods to one of the officers guarding the door to stop any press from entering and he opens the door for Wolford.
"Make way, dangerous criminal coming through." He yells
The crowd instantly parts and makes way for us.
Just as we reach the parking lot someone yells out "Hey! That's detective Robertson!"
"Shit! Run!" I yell as Wolford opens the duffel bag and Judy climbs out and begins running along with me and Wolford.
"Wolford, use the taser!" Judy yells
Wolford pulls out his florescent yellow taser gun and spins around to see the crowd.
"RETURN TO THE POLICE STATION OR YOU WILL BE TAZED AND ARRESTED!" He yells
I had broken the phony cuffs and pulled out my 1911 and had got Judy behind me while aiming at the crowd.
"AND IF THAT DOSEN'T DETER YOU, HOW ABOUT A BULLET TO THE KNEE?" I yell.
The crowd begins to hastily retreat to their sectioned off area as Wolford and Judy get in the police car as I stayed outside with my 1911 in hand.
"Okay so plan B for Nick." I say as I get into the vehicle
"Yep." Wolford replies
I text Finnick, Mr. Big's henchman and Nick the same thing "Plan B, be fast"
I watch as Finnick in an old 87 Chevy Silverado runs a red light only to be T boned by the henchman in a 99 GMC Sierra. The henchman dumps a cup of gasoline in the passenger seat and lights it as he gets out of the vehicle and runs off with Finnick to get in a 67 Ford Econoline and pull into the street
Nick takes takes this opportunity to rush out of the station and jump a fence, diving into the open door of the Econoline as it speeds off with Wolford in hot pursuit.
Later at Cameron's apartment.
"Should have known that they would also be at our apartment." Nick says as he collapses on my couch
"I mean it wasn't that hard to get away. Wolford just had to go Code 3 through a few red lights." I say
"I mean at least we lost the pr..." Judy begins before she is cut off by someone knocking on my door.
I go up to the door and look through the peephole to see a ZNN reporter and cameraman.
I signal Nick and Judy to go upstairs before I open the door.
"Hi, Tony Jacobs with ZNN. We are here to ask some questions for our live broadcast."
"I am going to make three points very clear. One, I am a fully licenced lawyer and will not hesitate to have you charged for the way you followed us here. Two, Nicolas Wilde and Judith Hopps are not going to answer any questions. And three, You cannot enter my apartment and I did not give you permission to film me so please turn the camera off." I reply.
"Okay it's off." The cameraman says
"Then put it down, facing away from me."
He does so and the reporter begins asking questions.
"How do you know Nicolas and Judith?" He asks
"I am their friend, lawyer, and coworker."
"Do you support interspecies marriage?"
"I will answer the question after I make one point very clear. This country is the only western country that has not legalized it on a national scale. I grew up where you were taught not to judge people by who or what they are. So to answer your question, Yes I most certainly do."
"Was Nicolas and Judith kissing all an act?"
"No, they had been like that privately for a long time. Everyone close to them knew, and so did anyone who could put two and two together."
"What do you have to say about your previous comments about DA Times being specist?"
"I stand by my claim because he falsified a warrant on a residence because he thought that two people proclaiming their love for each other unofficially was a crime."
"Do you think he should pull from the mayoral campaign?"
"I think he should issue a formal apology. Weather he pulls out of the race is up to him and his aids."
"Where are Nicolas and Judith currently staying?"
"They are staying with me. Chief Bogo has advised us to stay together because I quote 'The press is like vultures. They will pick you to the bone.'"
"Thank you. That is all."
"You can turn the camera on now." I say as I enter my apartment and close the door.
I find Nick and Judy in my living room watching ZNN
"Good job dealing with them." Nick says
"You can't say no to a Canadian lawyer." I say "We are nice but firm... I'm going to bed now. There is some food in the fridge. You pay for what you buy."
I go upstairs and fall asleep in my bed fully clothed.
I hid a Diamond somewhere in here. Find it and get a shout out.There is no diamond. -The Author's Evil Twin
