It wasn't supposed to be like this. No it wasn't supposed to be like this. Red-brown eyes darted around as he looked at the stone walls that held him. He was seated in a chair, handcuffs secured around his wrists. What was the last thing he even remembered? He had to figure out a way out of here. He didn't like this. His lips parted as he focused on the blinking red light of the camera in the corner. He thus was alone in the room-- but how long until he was joined by someone else. This wasn't meant to be how life was meant to be. Sure being on the run from Rudger hadn't been ideal, but he had gotten through the tough time. So why wouldn't life give him a break?

"Oi come on. I didn't do anything, so why am I being detained this time?!"


His voice rosed slightly. He was a smart thing, but it didn't mean that he always kept that head upon his shoulders and used his brain to think of the right thing to do or say in said situation. Well, more so what not to do. No, instead he did exactly what he should not be doing. The sad thing was, he actually didn't know the reason why he found himself in the wonderful building that was the police station of downtown western Chicago. He saw at this point that perhaps the cops just had it out on him.

If one was to look at his appearance they would notice the bloody knuckles , from punching a few walls. A slight bruising along his index and middle knuckle signally a slight fracture, a sign showing he could have broken his hand if he had continued. The blood was still slightly fresh too, signally he hadn't been in this room for a good time at all. His brown locks were all tousled around , slightly even matted with blood-- though was his own or someone else's? He could hear the slight clack of shoes before the door knob turned and the door opened. Finally. He stood up

"Bloody finally, someone comes to actually speak to me rather than just watching me like some trained animal in a cage."


The man went to push him down roughly, it rather hurt. The sound of his cuffs clanking at the rough movement.

"Damien Voss, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you. I am aware your rights were already read to you, but seems that you might have forgotten about proper manners. Though it just so happens that someone just might be looking out for you."


"So that means you are going to release me?"


The man laughed. He didn't like him at all, the man was looking down on him. Yes, looking down on him. He didn't like those words at all.

"Maybe. All depends on how your trial goes. Afraid you should get comfortable, princess. You are going to be detained. Finally getting to lock you up and take you off the streets. After all those complaints-- finally we got something on you. Something enough to hold you. You have no idea.... how much this makes me happy."


And that was how he was roughly and rudely escorted out of that room. Handcuffs clanking as he was forced down the long walk of shame and forced into some cell. That was when things would only get worse. It felt almost as if the walls were closing in on him. How was he caught anyways? It all happened on a job, they had doubled crossed him. He had just been in it for the money. Bounty hunting was dangerous but did pay well. Yet this was the first time anything like this had happened to him. Yet someone had been called for him, a lawyer who would represent him for this trail. He paced his cell, thankfully he didn't have a roommate. His eyes flickering from spot to spot, almost as if each shadow he thought moved was after him. The male wasn't the sanest and the last four years hadn't been the kindest on him. In fact, there was more to Damien than met the eyes.

Earlier today

Christopher Samuel Jackson was already in a car on the way to the airport after another successful hearing. This time, his client was a professional wrestler wrongfully accused of contract violation. Well, after the morally gray lawyer was done, that was all they wrote and will write in the history books. Life wasn’t fair, the rich get better lawyers, and yadda yadda yadda. Sam has heard it all before, and as per usual, he didn’t really care. As long as he got paid, he would always get the job done. Now that that’s over with, it's time to check my messages…

Sam smirked as he read through the inanity of his mobile messages, a welcomed respite from the seriousness and darkness of his real life, when a phone call interrupted his brief moment of peace. The blinking name on the screen made him heave a sigh, but he did nothing else but answer the person on the other line. After a quick one-sided conversation, where Sam simply responded with a lot of yes and no, he called his driver’s attention to make a detour. It seemed his time out here in Chicago was not yet done.


Now

When the cops wanted to talk to him some more, which was usually the case during these things, the same man from before dragged Damien out to the interrogation room. Sam knew the procedure like the back of his hand. He was too familiar with it, which means he also knew the appropriate timing to make his entrance. After a while of back and forth between the cop and the culprit, the door of the interrogation room suddenly swung open and Sam wasted no time in making his presence known, addressing his apparent client.

"Damien Voss, stop talking," Sam turned to the cop with a playful smirk. "Hi. This is over."



The other person in the room, the one that was neither amS nor his client, glowered at the intrusion, scowling, “Who the hell are you?” If Sam was on his side of the fence, he'd be pissed, too, which was exactly the lawyer's intention. Sam didn't like being interrupted. No one in their right mind did, especially when they were working, which made it the perfect bullet to startle and rattle the cop. Sure, it was one way of making enemies, but it was part of his process that won him his cases. No matter the cost.

"My name is Christopher Jackson. I’m Mr. Voss' attorney. You can vet me with your superiors. They're right outside. Meanwhile, we're leaving."


The tension was unreal, mostly from the other guy, the cop. He took his sweet time just staring daggers at Sam, but in the end, his curiosity got the better of him. Rather, his boss did. Someone else opened the door and gestured for the other guy to come closer to him. Judging from the way they were whispering, and the glares they threw the lawyer's way, Sam had beaten them. This time at least.

"Kid, you look like hell. You like hotdogs? You look like you could do with some hotdogs. Let's go get some hotdogs."


Without another word, Sam gestured for Damien to follow him out of there, past the angry cops, and into a black luxury car outside the station. How did Sam do it? 'Life isn't fair, the rich get better lawyers, yadda yadda yadda...' Keep up, kids. Sam took one last long look at the Chicago skyline and smiled before dipping inside the same car with his client. God, I fucking hate Chicago.

What. The. Hell. That was all he could think when it came to what was happening in the interrogation room. Damien knew not of this lawyer . One moment one thing was happening and the next... he was being told to stop talking. Grumbles left him. Those red-brown eyes watched the exchange, the man was playful in his facial expressions. Stating he was his attorney. Leaving... what-- wasn't he supposed to be locked up? Yeah, he hadn't been imaging that. Had he?

"Really questioning on if ya are gonna get locked up? Sometimes I wonder if ya want that for yaself. I mean I could arrange for that."


The little demon spoke and he shoved the voice out of his mind. Though what exactly did it mean that he could arrange for that. No, of course he didn't want to get locked up. No one in their right mind would want to get locked up in any situation. That meant no getting up in the jail. No getting up in some asylum. He didn't need it. No he didn't need it. Except... he probably did need some form of help, he was so far from being sane. Four years ago he had been better, but by no means was he truly sane then either. The little demon, a voice in his head, had been with him even then-- just not as worse as it was at this current moment. Life was cruel.

No he needed to listen to what was going on. He couldn't allow his mind to get lost and let the little demon distract him. He didn't know if he was going to be locked up or if he was going to be let free. Red-brown eyes watched how the tension in the room seemed to grow-- the cop wasn't happy. Even less so when he went to speak to someone beyond his sight, due to the door. This guy was his attorney-- but he doubted that he was here due to the fact that they 'had' to give him a public attorney. He doubted this guy was anything for the public, he seemed too-- polished at his craft for that. He blinked as the guy went on about hot dogs and gestured for him to follow.

"Yeah, most people do look like hell when they are wrongfully accused of shit and harassed."


He spoke loud enough to be heard as he headed after the other , going pass the angry cops. They seemed to glare daggers at him, he didn't care. He blinked as he saw the black luxury car that was outside the station. Yes, very much not a public attoney. So who the hell sent him? His heart slightly sank at a single thought. Shit-- he had been found. He paused outside of the station, hands balled up into fists at his side.

"W...w...who sent you?"


A slight stutter in his voice. One thing that he had gotten a bad dose of was paranoia, his red-brown eyes were looking around as people hurried by them. He did look like shit and more so he was starting to look like he perhaps belonged in a mental asylum not out on the streets of Chicago. Though than again it was Chicago-- some crazy people did make the city their home . He kept his distance away from the other, even backing up some. This movement made sure he bumped into someone who glared at him telling him to ' watch where he was going' before shoving rudely past him. The movement sending the paranoid brunette forward some , thus closer to Sam.

"It was him wasn't it. N...no. No. I'm not going back there..."

Something was definitely off with the kid. Generally speaking, Sam preferred not to dwell on his clients' appearances. He did not like wasting his time thinking over their presence, their aesthetics, or even how guilty they looked in the public eye, especially in the eyes of the law enforcers or even the justice system. His clients tended to have other people for that. But this kid? He seemed a little off, a little dangerous, though aren't they all? Especially when cornered.

"Him? Who's him?"



Sam raised his eyebrow, fixing the creases on his suit. He was only mildly curious about whoever this guy was afraid of. Most of the time, it ended up as previous employers, sometimes dangerous mobsters, other times an ex-wife. Sam didn't really care that much to get himself in all that mess. He was just a lawyer. He only got himself in legal messes, and fixed them up like he fixes creases on his very expensive suit. Armani.

"This is just a favor for an old friend, and I just felt like rewarding myself, for making the effort, with Wolfy's. You ever been to Wolfy's? They say it's a great place for some great hotdogs. Never been there myself."


Sam left the part about that friend being a high-ranking politician's daughter, with whom he slept with before her marriage to another high-ranking politician. How was he supposed to know she was going to get married the next day? He can't read minds. Anyway, whoever this 'him' was, it was entirely possible Sam's friend was also doing a favor for 'him.' Sam didn't ask. He just wanted to get rid of the woman and the baggage he held over his head, and this seemed like a great way to go over it, murderous client or not.

"You can tell me all about it at Wolfy's. Aren't you hungry?"



Now that was a question that he wanted the answer to more than whatever was going on with the kid. Well, maybe not, if he was supposed to get him out of jail. All he's done at the moment was buy the kid some time. While the cops and the prosecutor's office were busy with their documentation and other related papers, Sam's underpaid legal assistance team was already streets ahead. Just a few more kinks to straighten out, and sooner than later, this kid would be a free man again. Err, free kid. Whatever good that'll do him in Chicago.
