Derek POV

"We......"thud my head spin,I almost pass out,"Mr Derek!!!" Matilda scream,"I'm...." I was hit again,Matilda scream and point to my back and I bend down dodging the next hit

I stand and caught the iron,the person struggle to collect the iron I kicked him,he yell and drop the iron he ran out before I could confirm what happen i followed him immediately,even though my head is banging,he might know something so I kept chasing him,his leg struck and he fell,"thanks goodness"

I thought and near him,"please don't....don't h...u.....hurt me" he kept sturring

"what a crazy bastard after hitting me he's now begging not to get hurt ,I almost punch him but stop when i hear the police siren,that better ," "Mr Derek" I heard Matilda scream

"Mr Derek are you ok?,"she ask as I turn to her,"yess I nod,you..??"

"Gasp!! your head blood ,you are bleeding,"she said frowning,"I'm ok ,I'm really ok "

"I called the police," she said,"that's good of you," "you need treatment let go to the hospital," "no oo oo am ok ,I'm....."I black out

"Pim pim pim,the sound woke me up i open my eye and look around ,hospital I hate hospital" I thought

"you are awake?" Matilda voice brought me back ,I turn to see her ,she look worried

"you black out you really scared me," she said , "the man how....?" "he's at the police station she cut me off you should worry about yourself"

"I'm fine," I replied,"I can see that" she said with sarcasm,"let go" I said,"where?" "the police station I need to see that guy," "but you are hurt you need....."

"It now or never " I said to her,"whatever you won't even listen to me " she sigh.

At the police station

"Mr Hunter ,where were you on July13 around 3:00am in the morning????" "I.......I......am a Del ..iver..y.man....i deliver two salad .two chick...en.....and a pi....zza ," he kept talking rubbish as the prosecutor question him

"she was one step ahead of me,though I caught him,she stole my chance,she's the prosecutor in charge of my case the one am opposing

Miss Coral if i can remember " i can see what going on in the investigation room,she shake her head

"he's useless let him go ," she said to her colleague,"this is my chance" I thought as soon as they let him out I grab him to the nearest cafe,Matilda followed with confusion

"Please... am....so...rry I hit you ,I thought...you...." "Do you know Mr Desmond i ask?"

"Yes....we......are....neigh...bours," "I see so where were you when Mr Desmond was killed??"

"Yes ,am Derek John an attorney,is this daylight delivery? " "Yes" the person at the end of the phone replied,"then you must be the manager ?"

I ask again,"yes how may I help you?" he ask,"I want to ask a few question relating to a case please cooperate with me," "ok no problem.Do you know a man call Hunter Williams?" "Yes he works here ,what about him?"

"On July 13 which time did he make his last delivery?" "one minutes let me check,hmm mm 10pm," "10pm not 3am ?" "yes 10pm" "Ok thanks" I cut off the call. "He lied" I said facing Matilda "He must have witness something,hmm I know something was wrong he was nervous as if afraid" Matilda replied, "you must be tired I said let get off work for today

Tomorrow is the first trail,so let get some rest. "

"Wait tomorrow is the first hearing?" she ask "yes "I replied "but we don't have enough evidence,we are not prepared ,we...." "trust me I cut in just get some rest ,don't worry ok?"

"Ok she replied I will go now she said waving byeee Mr Derek," "byeeee"

Matilda POV

The alarm woke me up ,i sigh and stand up "let get ready,i will witness the first hearing" I thought with a smile,am almost done,"Tilly wait for me let go together"

steph said from the shower,"no oo I can't got plans for today so am leaving early " I replied

"ok heard Mr Derek have a tough case to deal with,you know am jealous of you but I will rather than work with that ice block"

I laugh "bye steph " "byee see you at the office "

Just Law Firm

"Good morning Mr Derek " i greeted," morning Tilly " he replied "let me grab some important file he said done let go"

He lead the way and we got in his car.I look at the court and sigh am nervous,"relax " I heard Mr Derek said " I will do it myself it not like am gonna make you do it ," "I know am just you know" I replied with a smile

We entered ,soon Mrs Felicia Sam our client was brought in,she look tiny for a 30 year old,she kept a blank face as if what is happening is none of her busines Mr Derek went to his seat,near her,he tried to talk to her but she keep quiet,what a strange woman,she's not even putting the face of an innocent "Hmm" I sigh maybe she murdered him,just maybe.

The judge will enter "all rise " my thought was interrupted We rise and the judge entered,we all sit after he sat "Now we begin the first hearing of murder case of Mr Desmond Sam, the prosecutor you can go first ," the judge said, Miss coral step out and bow

"on the 13 of July Mr Desmond was murdered by his own sister,they do have argument a few times so she has a motive of killing him,from what I know they were quite close

They are the favorite of each other but even so she went so far as murdering him

that's it My lord " she bow and return to her seat,"the defense attorney you can cross examine " Mr Derek stood up and bow,"my lord I will like to ask the accused some question"

"permission granted" "Mrs Felicia can you answer these questions?" 'Yes," for the first time she talk, "you were there when he was murdered right?"

"Yes" she nodded "what brought about the argument ? If I may ask," she kept mute,"Mrs Felicia,you have to answer," Mr Derek said but she kept quiet "ok if you can't answer that,then can you explain what really happen that day?"

But she kept mute,"he trying to help her after all why being difficult " I thought "my Lord that all " Mr Derek said and sat down,"hmm can we really win this case,Mr Derek did not even do anything " I thought and sigh

"The next hearing will be by next week," the judge said and left "can we do really do this ??" I said to Mr Derek

after the hearing,"don't worry one week is enough to prepare,for now let go see Mrs Felicia I need her to cooperate " "Mrs Felicia,do you remember me am your lawyer," she still kept quiet

"Godd this woman is really something" I thought,Mr Derek keep talking for about 20minutes then he said "you don't kill him right,I'm sure you cause you don't have a cut on your hand" Mr Derek said looking at her hand

"if you truly kill him,you could have a cut as it was a small kitchen knife," "what? "

For the first time Mrs Felicia spoke,"what do you mean I was the one who killed him i did it,it was me....."
