Cast From Law Abiding Citizen Novels & Stories

The policeman was righteous. Evelyn internally chastised the policeman for being stubborn because he probably didn't know who the Gurney family was. She immediately added, "Do you know what family I'm from? I'm not an ordinary citizen at all." "No matter who you are, you can't cover up the fact that you committed a crime. Please admit to your mistakes truthfully so we can settle this in a lawful way!" The policeman remained unmoved.

I watched, arms crossed, as he took pictures with them, flashing a perfunctory, practiced smile that reached his eyes just enough to be convincing. "Don't stay past the time on the pass, sir" one of them said with a respectful curtsy. "No problem at all," Sage replied smoothly. I watched the patrol car pull away, feeling the heat of the afternoon sun and the lingering irritation in my chest. Sage finally turned back to me, a smug glint in his eyes. "Yes, I’m a lawyer," he said, his voice dropping an octave. "And a law-abiding citizen, unlike someone else I could mention."

“What was I supposed to do? “A good citizen like me has to speak the truth, right? “I’ll tell them we weren’t with Harvey last night! “He did save us, but the law matters more than anything in our hearts! “We speak with reason!”

“Uhm, the case has brought a lot of embrassment and shame for my client who has humbly denied ever being a part of the coup to take Mr. Reynolds company from him and the attent against his life.” “Mr. Castillo.” The Judge cuts him off, “your client has been seen as the root cause of this investigation. You need to get your statement right.” The Judge said to him. “I understand that everyone has an opinion to this incident.” He faced the jury, “Bethany is a mother and a grandmother. She is an expert in her career a trailblazer. An exordinary woman.” One will think he is in love with her. Maybe he is. “Consider all of that before you run it down the drains.” He said and took his seat.

Christian Sitting in the police bureau, I tell the cops everything that happened last night. "I can understand, Christian. But you can't break the law by beating a criminal also. You come from a decent family. This doesn't suit you", the cop says as I frown. "I don't care about my image or anything else when the culprit of my woman is standing in front of me", I shrug. "Sorry, sir. I can be an unlawful person too. But I'm not guilty" I tell him in a firm voice as he sighs. "You guys! Youngblood. What can I say?", he signs on some papers."But you'll have to give the penalty for that"

The only thing is that now Law has introduced us to all these new people it seems like there's always some shit to take care of. Not that I mind, I'm all for cleaning up my little part of the world and keeping it safe from assholes, but these boys are the real deal and the shit they deal with makes our little issue seem like child's play. It's all good though, since their shit was about making the world better. I see that as a step up from my days as a deputy who was supposed to uphold the law. Isn't it strange how that shit works? I looked down at my daughter's little face. She has my coloring, light caramel, and her mother's blue eyes. The contrast is nothing short of amazing and I know sh

" I am yet to understand what you are saying." " If you are who you claim to be, no problems. I will tell you to consider becoming a cop. " " Because of the way I followed everything. " " Yes. It won't be bad, you know." " I just did everything because I am a patriotic citizen." " The odd thing is that you do not seem to be an American citizen. " " Why? Because I am black?" " Of course not. You look different. I can't explain but that is what it seems to me."

The Turning Tide The law was supposed to be blind. That was the phrase etched above the city’s courthouse, the oath whispered by every fresh-faced recruit at the academy, the comfort ordinary people clung to when the world pressed its heel on their necks. But in this city, blindfolds could be bought, just like loyalty. The Boss had proven it again.

I kept my gaze fixed on the judge, who motioned for me to continue. “Your Honor,” I said, “I was kidnapped that evening by a man who has since been apprehended by the police. A man who, as you well know from his earlier testimony, was a servant of the city’s mafia. Mr. Barrett was aware of my peril and acted as he did in a bid to rescue me.” The judge leaned forward, her gaze piercing. “So you’re saying that his actions were of a heroic nature.” “In a manner of speaking, yes,” I replied. “While I don’t condone breaking the law, Mr. Barrett’s intentions were to save a life—mine. His actions, though misguided, came from a place of…desperation. And concern.”

My client is posh, he only sipped from his juice box and said he'll eat once the trial is over. An hour later, Judge Oliver walks in to give his verdict. “Jacob Santiago Alabaster..” At that moment.. My heart raced, The clock stopped ticking. But I kept as still as possible. “You're not guilty.” That was all it took for me to calm down. Jacob and his support group cheered while the antagonists sneered. After the paperwork was signed, I left the court with Amanda who was waiting for me at the side door. We passed the journalists and media who tried to get us answer questions. Thankfully, Amanda is strong so we easily get them to stay away from us.
