The Case (BWWM)

46.

'I want to reopen this case'

I waltzed straight into James' office not giving a fuck if he was busy or not as his blue eyes glazed at my unwanted presence as the phone call he was on didn't seem as important to him.

Ending the phone call seconds later, he slapped the phone back into its stand as he rose up from his chair with curiosity written all over his face as he walked around his desk to get to me.

Not to close my nigga!

'Re-open a case for what?' He asked as I gave him the news articles and documents that's were available for me from the internet 'This Case is about 13 plus years old......' Collins seemed to find it amusing

'And what's your motherfucking point!' I rolled my eyes as I finally got his full attention with a more serious approach 'the Central Park Case was over a decade old and they still re-opened the Case causing all five of them to be exonerated' I crossed my arms sternly

'Look, what is there to be re-opened? The evidence all makes sense?' He said

'It can't be, you're meaning to tell me that my brother was killed by his best friend instead of the police? So how the fuck did his best friend get injured then, if he injured himself with the gun trying to shoot Kayden?' I cocked my brow at the stupidness I was saying

'Why are you acting like I was one of the witnesses myself?' He asked 'and Kayden is your brother?' He asked again in shock

'Yes- and I want to re-open this case, Now!' I said meaning everything

'Well you can, but I don't know what evidence you're going to find out of that' he said walking over to his desk

'So much encouragement from you, I appreciate it' I said sarcastically before I exited out of his office

'Kylie!' He called out my name as I stopped in my tracks 'I don't have the private documents for the case, you're gonna have to go to Manhattan to get the records if you want to re-open up the Case' he told me

Okay.......

'Alright......' I raised my hand 'thank you' before exiting fully

'So what did he say?' Carter asked as he was waiting outside James' office for me

'Well it looks like I'll be taking a trip to New York for a while' I smiled wholeheartedly in his face as he didn't give me that same energy back

'What do you mean fucking New York- you have a case to finish!' He instantly reminded me

I fucking know that!

'How many time are you going to remind me of the same thing Carter?-' I started walking away from him due to annoyance 'I know I have a fucking case to handle!'

'Stop walking away from me!' He demanded as I ignored him

Ending up in his room, I slammed the door behind him. I knew he was coming to open it back up, I don't know why I did that, thinking it was going to have a good affect on the whole situation that's happening right now.

'Look...I said New York because all the documents I need is back there in my hometown, the court case was set in Manhattan not California so therefore, if I want to re open and look further into my brother's unjustified case, I have to go back to New York for a bit' I explained clearly to him

'And when are you going to do all of this?' He asked me

'I don't know!' I was quick to yell back at him in frustration 'I'm thinking about getting Issabella's case out the way, the sooner the better I can go to New York and start finding new evidence by asking Hakeem questions and still trying to find witnesses involved with the case if they're still living the area' I sighed deeply

'I don't know why you're putting all this stress on yourself, I can literally do all of this for you' he was willing to help

I never wanted to laugh so much.

'You clearly don't understand Carter' I sarcastically chuckled before I got serious 'you meaning to tell me that you're going to take your white ass up in them prison cells and think my brother's friend is gonna be cool with that?' He looked at me with a confusing look

'How else am I going to get any evidence from him if you want to re open and solve the case properly so damn much?' He asked with a cocked brow

'Carter I understand that, but he's not gonna go and talk his shit to some white people that he don't even know like that- not saying he hates y'all but he ain't gotta say shit to you' I told him honestly

I know my ass shouldn't be talking when I believed the white society for a quick minute thinking he actually did shoot Kayden- hell neither me or my mother came to visit him so me showing up unexpected isn't going hush the situation.

Ohhh what a sketchy chapter I wrote🥴
