Judgement day
The Firman case was currently the craziest thing in Detroit at the moment. Even after a week, it was still the top trending topic.
Each day, new findings, each more shocking than the last were being dug up raising interest in his case to a record high never seen before!
Most of them were clearly exaggerated though as some people saw this as a chance at fame. For example there was a petition from anonymous account where the person claimed to have been assaulted by Firman and actually gave birth to a kid due to that.
As expected people went wild but less than an hour later the account was busted revealing g that the owner was down in Australia.
Even worse the person was a man!
Poor Aussie must have been kicked in the head by a kangaroo or something.
Many more cases like this happened that truth became difficult to ascertain in the ever increasing ocean of cases.
But that wasn't all as people even crowded over to the venue he was to be judged at.
According to the estimates of the Detroit Daily, an estimated two thousand people were already camping outside the courthouse where his case was to be judged highlighting how much influential his matter was.
One had to know that most of these people were families of the victims of MK-V5 testing.
Meanwhile, around this time the news of Grant being released from police custody also spread around although it did t stair as much waves as Firman's did.
Well when you considered it, the
While it was only natural considering that he had been proven innocent it still didn't mean that he was innocent thoroughly.
At the very least there were traces that his facilities were used to manufacture the drugs, even though Firman was the bad guy here he wasn't absolved from the blame either.
Luckily, Grant wasn't some rookie with the masses. Immediately after being released he donated a support package totalling ten million dollars to the victims of the incident on behalf of his company.
He also took this chance to make an official, ground breaking announcement, revealing that the board of directors had been officially dissolved.
Each of these two would have been enough to prove his remorse and gather public approval.
However, doing the two had an effect garnered him the support and sympathy of the public while also painting Firman in even devilish colours.
Suddenly, everyone forgot about his facilities being related to the manufacture of MK-V5!
All that remained now was the court hearing that would be happening the next week.
Angelina on the the other hand couldn't care less whether Firman was stoned to death by an angry mob or Grant became Detroit's poster boy.
Instead she was busy treating herself to the one thing she truly deserved—rest.
And what better way than in a sauna that cost over five thousand dollars for a single session!
Now that's something!
The normal Angelina would never have dared to spend that much on a house yet here she was using it on a room filled with burners and water.
Her money was literally burning!
Newsflash, it was a company paid vacation.
Big ol Grant after returning decided she did a good job being the impromptu boss and decided she needed a good rest.
Thoughtful of him though she thought he had other thoughts at the back of his mind.
Not that she cared, she was going to enjoy this, she truly needed it.
“Girl you sure you ain't gonna marry your boss?"
Right as she snughled even more into the supple leather massage chair, a teasing voice called out to her.
Without removing the cucumber googles on her eyes, she raised a middle finger while rickrolling the strongest southern accent she could manage.
" Fuck off! “
Naturally, the only person she spoke to like that was Tonia!
As the mind behind the whole operation how could she not tag along. Well, Angelina called her along but you get the point–thwre was no way she was giving up a chance at the saun o Neil's!
They never said she couldn't bring someone along.
As wisps of steam rose from the padeed floors, the two continued doing their thing which of any man stumbled would have been enough to cause a nosebleed.
It looked like a scene from one of those Korean court drama where the princess was taking a bath.
Simply fulfilling!
“Angelina, I've been thinking….” Thanking the lady who brought the coffee over, Tonia waited she was out of hearing range before she continued.
“...do you think we were heavy handed?" Picking the slices of cucumber on her plate, she popped them into her mouth as a thoughtful expression rose to her face before quickly adding.
“I mean…they deserved it, but the Mayor, he was kinda innocent in my opinion.”
By now, Angelina had decided cucumber eye time was over cause she no longer looked like a weird Mr bean character.
For a while she looked like she was busy thinking about it before suddenly yawning.
“Honestly—i don't think we were heavy handed. We didn't the only thing we could do. Yeah, I know that old geezer of a Mayor would be wearing a green fedora for the rest of his life but at least he got to solve a problem plaguing his city. I mean, if we directly gave him the evidence instead, do you think things would ever get this fast tracked?”
“That's true."
Hearing this Tonia was stunned.
Why had she never thought about this previously.
At the end of the day, Tonia was not a true detective u like Angelina who was used to the true nature of humans.
For the mayor, getting a chance to catch the infamous leader of the MK-V5 drug ring would surely boost his popularity ratings and increases his chances in the upcoming elections. The cuckolding however, brought down that chance if not even reducing it even further considering well you know who his wife was with.
Now if he had laid his hands on the evidence first there was no telling if he would keep it away from public eye but it was likely he would to save his reputation.
For Angelina she knew releasing all that evidence would damage his reputation, she ha
d no grudge against the man but that was the only way or else all her efforts would have been for naught.
