"A handwritten statement, seriously?" Cicely scoffed."At least there is a statement" jack joked"We can start from here right?" She asked not taking her eyes off the papers."You're the lawyer not me" jack shrugged as he placed a glass of orange juice in front of her."I thought you were gon' serve me beer or a full course meal" she teased him"Someone misses my culinary skills then" he winked and she laughed."You wish""Well, this is better than beer" he said and she nodded."I can say he made this statement up, I'm pretty sure the station has recording devices and he didn't use none, plus the girl in the elevator with Clara. We'd start off with that and I need to visit the apartment, this can't be all of it" she clicked her tongue."I'll come too" Jack smiled"Like I was going to go alone? Tsk" she rolled her eyes."Drink up" he smiled"Did you drug this?" She raised a brow funnily."Drug what?" He arched his brow too and they both laughed."How's Cindy?" She asked"In school as s
"Ellie, it's best if you stay back, we'd be right out" Cicely said to her as she tried fighting her way in."It sure is messed up" Jack sighed as they walked into Mr James Cavendish's apartment. They had two officers assigned by wheeler follow them."It doesn't seem like there's was struggle" jack muttered."He couldn't have been sleeping either" Cicely added."They gon' go with the fact whoever came in with him was an accomplice for Clara, all she had to do was open the door for Clara to make the kill" cicely sighed."Unless..." Jack grinned"Unless?""Unless we find her first " he smiled."They couldn't find her Jack" Cicely smiled, "but not you" she licked her lip, "you've got three days" she smiled and turned"You're joking right?" Jack scoffed"Two days?" Cicely asked"Fine, three days" jack rolled his eyes, " we should visit the security room" he said and left her standing as she chuckled and followed."You guys are done?" Ellie asked."Come with me" Cicely said to her."Thanks
"so what's new on that part" Winter asked"Well, they couldn't get a clearer picture of her face, I don't know how far jack has gone either" Ellie replied."Well, did they try the store across?" Winter asked."The store?""Well, if the CCTV couldn't get a clearer footage of her face...."The store would have" they completed simultaneously as Ellie."I know I'm smart ""Of course you are" Ellie smiled happy as she took out her phone and dialled Cicely's line immediately but there was no response. She tried again and it was the same."A little adventure?" Winter asked."I don't want to get into trouble with Nina, winter" "She doesn't have to know" winter groaned."It's boring staying at home" "You should have gotten a job" Ellie laughed."So the adventure it is" winter winked as Ellie grabbed her jacket. They rushed out immediately probably without thinking their plan through."There's surely a CCTV" Ellie smiled happily as she looked around."Wait! How are we supposed to get it. We'r
Standing before the mirror, she smiled at her reflection. She wasn't sure of the outcome but confusion or nervousness has never been her forte. It was the day of Clara's trial; the very first hearing. Giving one last smile to the beauty in the mirror, she picked her bag and the file for the case ready for the big day."Jack pick up" she groaned for the umpteenth time. She's been trying to reach him all morning."Wow jack nice going" she sighed shoving her phone into her bag. Stepping out of her apartment in her fine grey suit, she walks to her car and sits in."Let's go make daddy proud" she smiled with her eyes closed. It had been her routine whenever she had cases, she would sit in her car and remind herself, her dad would be watching from heaven probably. Taking one long breathe, she brought the engines to life and zoomed off towards the courthouse.Meanwhile, Ellie couldn't sleep a wink. She badly wants to believe in Cicely but she's so out of place with her optimistic spirit. She
"how'd you like them apples now!" Winter yelled"I prefer mangoes actually" Clara hissed. They had finished a round of video gaming in Clara's room."You guys gon' sit around all day?" Ellie walked in all dressed for work."We're hungry" winter spoke up."You always hungry" Clara rolled her eyes. The court case had gone well and Clara was freed but the case of Mr James Cavendish's death was closed yet, they had to find the killer, and Clara had to find who set her up."You coming home earlier tonight?" Clara asked."Yeah why?" "Don't conclude, Tyler might have plans" she said and Ellie could feel her cheeks heating up."So you guys did have something while I suffered in jail""Did you really suffer?" Ellie scoffed."I'm off guys, you going job hunting for winter?" "She's not so sure she's ready to work" Clara smiled"Hey! I'm right here. Yes we are" Winter spoke..."Hey" Tyler smiled as she walked in"Hey" Ellie smiled."It just feels right to see you smile" Tyler hugged her."It'
She walked steadily in ignoring the stares as she put on her apron and got ready for work."Seen a ghost?" She glared at her co-workers who wouldn't stop staring and whispering."Fuck y'all" she hissed as she left the changing room."The boss wants to see you" a colleague walked up to her and she nodded changing her direction."Goodmorning sir, you sent for me" she bowed slightly in respect."Clara" he called out, "welcome back by the way" he said with no smile."Thank you" she bowed still."Things are gonna be tough around here, I don't know how much you can take, but welcome back" he spoke and she bit her lips."Thank you sir" was all she mutter at the moment.She turned and left his office, releasing a breathe she didn't know she was holding outside of his office. It has been tough since she was released, she wasn't expecting any less but she was glad the strict boss let her work still."Let's go work!" She smiled to herself getting her spirit ready for the day's job as she stepped
"Clara..." "Are you with me or not?!" Clara snapped moving away from her sister. "I know this is hard on you...." "You only know but you'd never understand the weight of it!" Clara's eyes were red from all the crying. "I just lost my job over something I know nothing about Ellie! I just got fired, dumped like some trash because no one wants a murderer for a waitress". "You're not murderer!" Ellie corrected sharply. "Then help me clear my name!!!" She sniffed, "you're the only one that knows I'm innocent, the world out there doesn't know that! I can't live with this stigma Ellie", the tears began rolling again, "will I let you cater for the both of us while I sit on the couch all day like an old hag, will I ever marry? If i do, my kids would be taunted about their mom being a murderer". "Stop saying the word, murderer!" Ellie snapped walking up to her. She had dressed up already, ready to go get some stuff at the mall before her shift in the afternoon. "Clara", she exhaled and h
