บททั้งหมดของ Advocate Marlone : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Steve was happy to be out of court and distressing with his friend Dane. Hey Steve, I heard that a girl whipped your ass in court today. Dane said passing a cold beer to Steve. She is full of crap that one but she might be right about the case being a plot. We had DNA evidence and fingerprints putting Mr May at the scene, everything was wrapped up in a package for us to try this guy. Everyone just missed the fact that they have him on camera crossing the border more than a thousand kilometres away when the crime occurred. It bugs me that I didn’t see it coming, now I’m part of some sick racist psychos.Your job is to represent the state, you did, it was just a job.This has nothing to do with you.Steve took a sip from his bottle, enjoying the cold liquid going down his throat. Tell that to Advocate Grey, she was so disgusted with me she wouldn&rsq

Good morning Mrs Payne. Sorry I’m late, I met some irritation at your door.Good morning Advocate Grey, thank you for finally agreeing to meet. Please take a seat. Sorry, I have been busy, she lied. Please call me Aziza, she said sitting down. I presume you busy so I will get to the point. There has been a lot of racial incidents in the country and the tension is evident everywhere. If ignored I’m afraid we could end up with a civil war. I have been tasked by the president to bring in a team of leaders and influencers who can look at our policies and give constructive advice on changes that could lead to healing of  old wounds and bring all races together. I would like you to be part of that team. Thank you for considering me Mrs Payne. I am really humbled but I’m afr

Aziza climbed the stairs slowly, she had no intention of getting her there on time. She had to show the white boy her irritation in using her favourite coat as bait to make her come to some stupid meeting. She still couldn’t believe that he actually called her a racist as if she was capable of being one. She opened the door to the conference room, intentionally banged the door and took a seat near the exit. Steve noticed her the moment she walked in. She was wearing black suit that fitted her perfectly. The peach silk top underneath her coat complemented her flawless skin. Her hair was neatly tied in conrows, he could see the precision of the straight lines on her head. Thank you Advocate Grey for finally joining us. I would appreciate you being on time on our next sessions. He said with a smile. The rest of the guest turned to look at her, clearly disapproving of her being late. Aziza glared at him, she did no

Steve walked around for the the third time through John’s basement. He forced himself to look at the horrific pictures, read through the horror stories and the shocking end of Aziza’s family. He wiped the tears from his eyes with his shaking hands. How does anyone get over this? he wondered, her words echoing in his head “We are the generation that saw it all, felt it all and we lived with the physical and psychological scars”. Dolly was right, Aziza could start war on her own. She was the gasoline that would fuel the racial tensions and the recent targeting of blacks by Seth’s bikers and framing of John was enough to tip her over. Now she was a time ticking bomb that could go off anytime. He had hoped that knowing more about her would help him confront and reason with her but now he was terrified to even look at her  in the eye. He walked up slowly, emotiona

Aziza turned off the alarm and got out of bed. She had no work to go to since Judge Laymore suspended her practicing licence for six months but Dolly and John had called her a multiple times last night begging her to come to Steve’s meetings at the state department. She had eventually agreed but she was already regretting that decision now. She was getting tired of meeting, listening and hearing about Steve. Her mind seems to be also playing tricks on her. Not only were images of him playing in her mind, now there was also that kiss. Even when thinking about something else, he just creeped in. She has to actively block him from her mind, it can’t be that hard, she told herself. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and braced herself for the comment Steve was going to pass about her being late. She looked around expecting to find everyone seated but everyone was standing and chatting over tea. John saw her
