Chapter 1

"somebody help me" I cried from within hoping he won't hear me the man had managed to break into the house with no difficulty at all it made me wonder if he had the house keys but there was no time for useless thoughts I had to protect my kids the sane kids that Gordon had been so evil to leave behind with me for a stripper Kayla and Denver are my only reasons to live if they go I"ll die but this assassin didn't really seem to care ..........*click click* he had found my hiding spot and was slowly opening it my adrenaline pumping my sweat pouring out like just ran a marathon who sent him? This person must know a lot bout me I just hope my kids wont come out after they've heard my muffled screams

" So there you are pretty* his mouth smelled like tobacco and Hennessy a rich hoodlum? That guy as being paid properly to get rid of me getting myself free from his grip but it only got tighter it felt as though blood has stopped flowing

"Let go of me please* I begged knowing it would most likely be my last chance at life hoping a little part of snow white would come true I was just being a fool

"You want me to let go of you?" He asked looking at me mock written all over his eyes and face

"Yes" I replied knowing what would still happen to me

"If only that were possible where are the kids you fool!" He screamed the timber in his voice shook me the most I'm sure it had scared Kayla the most as I heard her whimper from the other closet my heart beat kept getting faster as he walked to the closet where my kids were I had to do something I had to think fast my kid depended on this as I working on sight I saw a flower vase my mum had given me and Gordon on our third anniversary I quickly grabbed it and hit his head he seemed to be made of granite as he didn't even flinch or fall flat as they did in the movies at that moment I cursed out loud he turned around angrily and said the last words I could have sworn I would hear

"Don't ever play smart with a ghost*

At these words everything in the room went blank and that was it I woke up to the sounds of sirens and smell of iodine

"Hey there can you hear me?" A nurse asked while checking my pulse " blink twice if you can" I did as instructed hoping she would leave me alone the smell of iodine only made my eyelids heavier I couldn't stand it I was slowly running mad

"Doctor she has regained consciousness" she said to a black man who seemed 30 and above I couldn't really make out his features I was partially blind

"That's nice Message Carmichael you've been unconscious for a month we thought we would lose you to a coma" he said with a smile that if not for all the pain in my body I would have smiled along "Let's leave her alone she's been through a lot"

"My kids"

Was all I could utter in my particular state even though it was a whisper it was loud enough for them to hear me slowly getting up from the bed the nurse rushing to aid me

"Where are my kids" I asked searching his eyes for something although I didn't Kno what I as searching for I was searching for something tears were welling up did they die? I stood up immediately to grab the doctor but fell flat on the floor while darkness took over the remaining part

PRESENT DAY.....

"Jordan it's getting late aren't you going home?"

"I'll go home very soon I replied ..... Hey Philip can you help me out with something? "

" Yh sure as long as it doesn't land me in prison* Philip had a cheery spirit and a good sense of humor although he was a junior I see him more as a co mate

"Could you do a background check on the Carmichael case for me?"

" That case has allot of red tapism around it I can't just go pocking my nose around it"

" It won't be pocking your nose if you're doing it for her lawyer I got your back don't worry" I said trying to boost his morale even though I know I didn't sound so convincing the case was weird but deep down I knew she was innocent and I'm going to prove it

"Listen Jordan you're a good lawyer and all but this case..... It's not going to be easy it has something to do with her last and trust me you dont want to get involved there's more than neets the eye. You can't just believe someone because they tell you to you trust too much Jordan and it's not good you have a family to look after you don't want to b the reason for any of there problems but I will still o the research if you want me to" he said smiling

" Thank you" was all I said trying to digest whatever Philip had just let out what was he trying to imply my head was getting too heavy I couldn't hold so much in one day I'm Human but never the less I don't care what is at stake I'm still going to fight her case she's innocent if not for anything then for the Justice of her two children they at least deserve that. My head played many scenes that could have happened that night they all seem impossible before I gave up an drove home.
