Chapter 111 - Case

"So do you remember what happened that night? It's for references and evidence." I asked asked taking out my note pad to jot it down.

"Yeah actually. I remember it all too well." he responded sounding bitter, and I nodded my head sympathizing with him.

I clicked my pen a few times and opened my hands gesturing for him to go on so he did.

"Well it was like any other night where I would over see the deliveries. I didn't do it often, only when the load was huge and the buyer wanted to meet personally. That night though I felt kind of sketchy for their were less men than usual and I was not informed of who the buyer would be. I had my gun on me like I usually did and I went to the location with the few men, briefcase at my side filled with drugs as I waited. I waited and waited for the buyer to show up, but all I heard was sirens and saw flashes of blue and red light and when I stepped out of the darkness all the men were gone and I was left alone. I was cuffed and thrown into the back of the cop car then brough to the station where I called my cousin for I didn't think that my dad would pick up, but it was my dad who got me out or he had connections in Russia so I was set free. The interpole however had always been keeping an eye on me and I have never been sloppy in my work, but they had enough evidence from this incident to put me behind bars and my father wont be able to help me this time."

I nodded my head as I listened and made a few notes still feeling a little overwhelmed that this situation was actually real, "so umm, Mr. Kim. Is there anything that you could have possibly done to upset your boss?"

"I did have an argument with Ana during the day so she might have been the reason. She is unstable and irrational. She has done a lot of awful things like threatening me and drug me before, but this was the worse. She is her father's baby girl so whatever she says goes." he replied and I wrote that down as well.

"She sounds bitchy. I guess that's your type" I said raising a brow and he chuckled lightly, "so Mr. Kim, you did cause federal offences by carrying an illegal fire arm on you and you were also found in possession of cocaine. Also looking at your charges here your drug test also came back with traces of Marijuana. This is going to be a challenge, but I cant have my babies' daddy going to jail.

"Yeah I fucked up pretty big didn't I? So Miss Carter to what extent can you help me? Can we bring the Kuznestovas down?"

I sucked a breath through my teeth as he said that knowing that he had went too far, "umm let's focus on not having to have to visit you in prison before you try to bring down the fucking Russian mafia Mr. Consigliere. Unlike you I do not know how to fire a gun nor do I own one."

"Yeah you're right. I should just lay low for a while so that Interpole doesn't find me and actually drag me to court. And besides, I wouldn't want my baby mamma to have to visit me behind bars." his words made me smile and I was sitting there looking all goofy.

"So I guess that's enough case talk for the day. I have to get back to work and you have to get back to Ana." he scoffed as he rolled his eyes at me and I laughed, "what? Isn't she your 'company'?"

"Ha ha very funny." he said as we got up from our seats when I saw two girls gossiping and looking toward us.

I stared directly into their faces and they quickly turned away whispering and I rolled my eyes.

I knew what they were gossiping about, but I couldn't be bothered to confront them.

Shiwoo on the other hand had a look of confusion on his face, but I just walked past him and went and sat inside the car with my arms folded.

He soon after followed and sat in the car confused by my sudden change of mood, "hey hey what's wrong? What did I do now?"

I quiet with my arms still folded as I looked ahead, but he still pressed on not starting the car, "is this about the gun thing? If it tis I promise you that I don't have one anymore and if it's about the drugs I've been clean ever since I got back. It's only been an occasional bottle or two Soju and nothing more."

I sighed as I unfolded my arms wondering if he was genuinely clueless, "do you honestly have no idea of what's wrong?"

He shook his head no and I sighed, "I don't know what's going on and I cant read minds either so could you just meet me half way and tell me so that I can fix it?"

"Fine" I said taking my phone out and searched up the article then showed it to him.

His eyes scanned the screen for a few seconds reading what was written before his face morphed into a look of anger and sorry, "woah Tally I didn't know. I don't keep up with gossip so I had no idea."

"Well neither do I, but Lia showed me this morning. What a nice way to start your week huh? Just take me to the office please I don't want to talk about it."

He sighed as he turned the key in the ignition and the car turned on with a purr, "I know your still upset, but for what it's worth I did have long and length chat with my mom yesterday and I do not mean to spoil the surprise, but she was planning on taking you out for  a girl's day some time this week. She truly is sorry Tally and so am I."

I refolded my arms and I kept my eyes forward and he sighed as we drove back to the office.

He dropped me off and handed me my keys and he drove off in his own car when I was inside.

Lia came barging into my office when she heard that I was back flooding me with questions, "so how did it go? Are you guys like dating now? What did you two talk about? Is that bitch Ana going to be a problem? Do we need to fight her?"

"Woah woah woah Unnie calm down. We don't need to fight any one. We are mature women with kids now." I said holding up my hands.

She pouted as she sat on the chair sighing dramatically, "okay I guess, but what did you guys talk about?"

"Oh nothing much. I was just asking him some questions that would help his case."

She gasped and I realized what I had just said, "you are his lawyer? Why haven't I been told this before? What did he do? Did he do something bad? Tell me!'

"No!" I exclaimed, "I uhh-ha ha. My bad I'm sorry I guess that I'm just still a little upset about the article. What I meant was that we uhh-talked about the kids' party that is less than a two weeks away. Yeah."

"Uh-huh?" she said not believing me as she eyed me weirdly.

I awkwardly smiled and she shrugged before heading for the door, "okay whatever you say, but when you guys start having sex I want the deets."

I rolled my eyes and laughed closing the door behind her.

Sex?

Pft.

That's not happening anytime soon my dear.
