A RESTRAINING ORDER

“Alright, counsel. You have a valid point. May the lawyer for Mr Jake Allswell please step into the witness box for questioning?” Judge Grant said

Jake's lawyer immediately walked out and went to stand in the witness box, bowing his head.

“Counsel. Tell us. Is it true you leaked the address of Mr Ethan here, which is supposed to be private and confidential information? What is your defence?” The judge asked the lawyer.

“Your Honour. Firstly, I humbly admit that I gave my client's father the address of Mr Ethan here. However in my defence, the address was not given on a bad note, and was not leaked to the public.

My client's gathering is also directly related to the case because his son is being prosecuted.

So I believe he is not an outsider.

Secondly, the address was not given to him on a bad note.

It was not given with the intention of having an altercation with him or threatening him or any criminal activity, but that of peace

    THE SPIRITUAL ISSUE“Anyways, what does this mean for us?” Ethan asked.“Now that comes to my point.Our gain is simple.Julius is arrested together with his accomplice and charged.Info has it that he has been visiting his men in remand to speak to them; that means they might have actually given him some information he acted on to even know the judges.So he has intel about what is going on.That makes all his gang members who helped him have more charges to their name.Again, that makes the case while showing that you were right.The case has been accelerated to the end if that should happen.We have everyoneThey will all be jailed, you get a larger compensation, and the case comes to an end.You have no one after your life again, and then, you can just get on with your life. That is it,” Mr David explained.Ethan listened with a smile.“That is nice. Let us see how this goes,” Ethan replied, and heaved a sigh.“Finally, something good is in sight,” he added.“Right, so that is it.

    THIS IS GOOD!!THE NEXT DAY, ETHAN'S APARTMENTEthan was getting ready to go to Mr Frost's house to attend to his wife and kid.Before he could get out of the house, he received a call from Mr David.“Are you free? I have to quickly discuss something with you. It is very urgent,” Mr David said immediately after Ethan answered the call.“Oh yes. What is up? Let us talk,” Ethan said“No, not on the phone. I mean, talk to you in person,” Mr David added.“Sure. I am on my way out; since it is urgent, I’ll quickly pass by before I leave,” Ethan responded.“No need. I am in your neighbourhood. I will be at your house in just a few seconds…” Mr David replied to him.“Oh, great. I will wait for you then.Let me get the guards to open the door for you.” Ethan said and hung up the phone. He headed straight to the main gate and instructed his guards to open the door.Ethan wondered what Mr David wanted to discuss that was so urgent that he had to come down to his house by himself.The moment the

    THE THOUGHTS OF A DISTRESSED MAN“Secondly, I don't think I am in the best position to testify on the character of Ava. I barely know her enough to testify to her good character for her.The closest I have been to her was accommodating her here for a single week, and I know that is not enough to be used as a basis of testimony.Again, she had just returned from jail at that time, meaning she had a history, and that can still be used against her.So technically, she was just remorseful because she had just returned from jail at that time.You are a lawyer, so I believe you should know better in this case.But to testify for her good character, I don't think I can do that because I am not in a position to do so.” Ruby explained to the lawyer.The lawyer nodded.“I understand you, Miss Ruby. But I am sure you might have seen a good character from her during the course of her stay here, and it does point out that we just need to win the judges over to reduce her sentence, and everything

    A NEW ACCOMPLICE??A FEW HOURS AGO, RUBY'S APARTMENT.Ruby had just returned from work and was sitting in her living room, watching the news with her phone in her hands.She was enjoying the evening when her security guard knocked on the door and entered the living room.“Excuse me, ma'am. Someone is here to see you?” The guard said when he got in.Ruby turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow.“Someone? Who is that?” Ruby asked in surprise.She was not expecting anyone in her house that evening.“He says his name is Lawyer Justice, and he is here because of Miss Ava,” the guard said.Ruby fidgeted with unease when he heard that.“Lawyer for Ava? What does he want?” Ruby asked in confusion.“I have no idea, ma'am; he simply said he wants to speak with you.” The guard replied.Ruby heaved a sigh“Alright, let him in, but search him thoroughly before you allow him entry,” Ruby said.The guard saluted and left the room.Ruby shook her head.“What does Ava's lawyer want from me? Could

    THE TALK"Alright, so you remember I told you about the gang leader for Vincent's gang who was released a month ago. The same guy who did the school shooting that brought about this whole thing?” Ethan asked him.“Yes, I do. What is up? Have you heard anything from him?” Ike asked in reply “Well, yes. He has been calling me recently with threats to kill me if I don't get his gang members released.I just received the most recent call from him just a moment ago, threatening to kill me if I dont get his men released before judgement is passed.” Ethan replied “Woah. This is serious. We need to take him on. But we will need to have evidence of his threats. Did you by any means record any of those calls? Because that can easily be used as evidence to get him arrested,” Ike asked him.“Oh yes... I recorded most of our calls. I am compiling the lists of call recordings. I will send it to you soon.” Ethan responded.“Very good. He is getting close to earning himself some more time in jail.

    THE WANTED MAN“I have received some calls from Julius. I have not answered them, but I have a feeling that something is wrong somewhere.I need some info on if he is still in town and what he is up to,” Ethan requested.“Yes, sir. He is still in town and is still in hiding. For the past few days, he had not really been active, and it looks to me like he is planning something dangerous,” Jay explained.“Exactly. I feel like he is planning something, but we need to know quickly so that we can also plan a counter attack, because we will need to be on the alert when he attacks,” Ethan replied to him.“Yes, sir. It looks like he has found out that his phone had a bug, because now he rarely makes calls, and the location is always at one place, so I presume he might have been leaving it behind to go out because I don't believe he will continue to stay at the same place without moving around once in a while," Jay explained to him.Ethan nodded.“Alright. He has been calling me. I did not ans
