FBI Safehouse/Unknown Street Atlas Falls

Jamal stood outside of the dorms as the winter air blew against his skin. It had been so long since he had been here. It almost looked like another person’s home as he felt the brutal winds blowing past him. He knew that if he didn’t do something that his family would forever be looking over their shoulders. It wasn’t a good feeling knowing something you’d done had set up his family for self destruction. Folding his arms he walked into the dorms with his hoodie on. As he unlocked his dorm door and moves his chest by his bed. With one move he pulled up the floorboard and finally saw his leather book bag. There he unzipped the bag and found all the bricks of coke were there. It was molly, ecstasy, meth, coke, and prescription pills. It was more than 2 million street profits. He was going to shut everyone up as he found a solution to the problem that he had. No matter if his sister had Kyan fix this he could still be killed for his betrayal. If Kendrick and Ronan knew for a fact he was never to say anything.

Looking around he saw a picture of Money, Ivan, and himself. They were his boys and Money was gone, and Ivan was still in the mix. No doubt he wouldn’t be lost in this game. This game that he played everyone so well in. It was now called life or death and in his solicitude with the law the streets would have to know he wasn’t a snitch. Not only that but Yasmine deserved a chance even if it wasn’t with him. She was getting a raw deal and they’d never let her out. Not unless someone got her out of the game once and for all. This was what he had to do to make it right. To make everyone come away with their hands clean. As he zipped up the bag he texted Yasmine. Looking outside his truck was still there and so was his old identity. Who was he fooling? No matter what he did, Jamal didn’t belong in this lane. He wasn’t a gangster or thug but he was smart. He was smart enough to wheel and deal.

She was at the club a place he didn’t want to go. He simply informed her to meet him around the next corner. Walking out of the dorm he ran down the steps. When Bridget a prep from the Valley Tresca area approached him.

District Attorney Office

Braden looked at the clock rubbing the back of his neck dinner was a few hours away and he knew he couldn’t be late for that. Though honestly he wanted to not even host the fucking thing, his parents were livid. Ok his father was livid, his mother shockingly was calm and he tried to not think of the drama of dinner. Instead he went back to a pending case file and then looking at his watch Jon was late which was something his friend did rarely. He hoped that whatever Jon had found it wouldn’t waste his entire evening and loosening his tie he went to the wet bar for a drink. Selina was meeting with Chauncey and Lowell before dinner and call him naive but he couldn’t begin to believe the lies his own marriage was sitting in at this rate. She had sold him out for Jamal and knowing that deep down stung. When his office door opened and he saw Jon enter he handed him a scotch on the rocks.

“You’re late good thing your Dylan’s godfather isn’t it? So you said you had something on the Madden case? I just got word someone tried to kill him at the prison, Raven is on my back about a release.” Braden paused for a moment knowing how much seeing Ronan in bars meant to Jon and his family a promise he made. He took a drink regardless of a promise he knew he had to uphold the law something his predecessor told him, it was a fine line. “I’ll keep him there unless you tell me otherwise. Though I am a bit surprised you came to me instead of Gideon not that I’m complaining anything you told him would come to me anyway.”

Jon couldn’t believe what he was about to say and do. He believed in justice yet how just was it unleashing Ronan back into the public. All that would do was start a whipping match between Kendrick and Ronan. This was ugly but it was also the truth. Ronan was seen at the election party that night, along with the fact a green SUV sent Philip off the road. Well that pointed to someone else. Plus if it was Ronan men he truly knew they wouldn’t be finding Carla and Steven body parts. As he sat down sipping the scotch. Biting his lip he looked at Braden.

“So I may have ran across some new evidence that will exonerate Ronan. I don’t think that he is the one. I don’t think that he killed Carla and Steven for heaven sake I’m about free the most dangerous man on the east coast.” Jon pulled out pictures of the car first said to be leaving the scene of the crime. Now Philip collaborated exactly what he was thinking. Someone was setting up Ronan. “Not only that but Raven has stated he was at the club where Maggie Warner and Svetlana Romanov both attend that Ronan was occupied with both of them. It’s making me sick to my stomach but someone is letting Ronan take the fall for two murders he didn’t commit.”

Philip’s Condo

Philip knew avoiding her wasn’t the answer. Hell what was he supposed to say to Max right now? I believe that my ex-fiance little sister is a sociopath and killed her? At first it was just to find out what happened to Veronica. Then when he stumbled onto Scarlett’s little scheme with Mason well it made him more curious. It was exactly eight months ago when he first delivered the first letter it also happened to be the night Steven Kincaid died. Stalking Scarlett was one of the most satisfying things he’d ever done. Especially when he found Veronica’s diaries. The disturbing things that went on in that home. The Nichols looked kind the all American family but they were twisted and he thought his family was bad. In her diary Veronica revealed that she feared for her life.

A diary that constantly haunted him. How could he move forward when everything was still there eating at his entire soul. If she killed Veronica he’d get her peace. That was something he promised her no matter what. As he grabbed his keys Philip knew it was time to drive Scarlett even more crazy. He heard she thought it was Diego. He would use that to his advantage. As he grabbed his jacket he thought carefully. Kendrick had placed the club under siege exactly what was he to do with himself? For the last few years he wanted to work off his own name and became a shrewd businessman in his own right. However he was needing his father power to prove to Max he was the man for her. Walking outside he saw Jon standing there just waiting.

“Don’t you have someone else to harass Harrison? Sorry no new information today for you.” Philip pressed the elevator button on the condo.

Jon looked at Philip and folded his arms as he leaned against the wall. “I just honest feel you know a little more than you are saying.”

“Ironic, just like I begged your department into finding out if Veronica really drowned. A swimmer since the age of ten just was swept away. Well that sound like something well suspect. Now unless you have reason to be here this is private property. So I’d appreciate if you leave.” Philip said disgusted with the gall of Jon. This man really bothered him. Everything about Jon’s arrogance made him want to punch him. That night he sent Scarlett the first message. That bitch killed Veronica and stole every portion of her life. It disgusted him that he knew the truth. That the police wouldn’t even listen to him.

“Tell me Jon do you think you deserve my support when you all closed the investigation on Veronica. I didn’t see a damn thing and I can’t remember anything out of the ordinary so get the hell out of my house. I’m not playing Jon go!” Philip roared as he saw Jon wasn’t budging nowhere.

Unknown Street Atlas Falls

Jamal was walking down the streets and the air felt so good. He’d been trapped in either Mason condo, or the safe house that Diego setup. Around seven in the evening he hatched an escape plan. The switchover between guards was obvious and once he got the times down he knew what he had to do. When they swapped out he slipped out the fire escape. No doubt his parents and siblings were going to freak. He however had to get rid of the drugs. He had a half brick, and whole brick under his dorm room floor. It was something he wasn’t sure he could get off without the police noticing. He would need help and offer the money back and a hefty part of his trust fund for his family life. As he walked down the street he threw up his hood before he bumped into Rachel. Coffee covered the street and Jamal jumped as he thought about Money blood covering the street. Gripping the walls he looked at her and smiled.

“My bad Rachel.” He said looking at her exhausted face. She was still a cutie and they’d all be friends growing up. The sad part was his mother would love him with a girl like this. He however knows that wasn’t what he wanted. Rachel would never bring the spark to his life like Yasmine. Hell he wasn’t sure he was going to get away with all the shit he’d done. “I guess you heard man I’m in trouble Rach. It was stupid but my music has been so intense that I’ve been producing. The synth sound and the alternative music I’m making is dark. I love it but at what cost you know?”

Rachel was glad to get out of the damn house and away from Brenda’s craziness not that she disliked Brenda by any means she just needed a break. She never thought she would have quit her job at city hall after Steven was murdered only to be then hired by Brenda to run her campaign though now that it was all over, she was again unemployed for a bit. Brenda had offered to keep her on at the resort as her assistant though and that was something she had been considering. Pulling her latte closer to her she turned the corner only to bump into Jamal and for her cup to go crashing to the ground. She hadn’t seen Jamal since his arrest no one had and her eyes darted around the street and no one was noticing him either. He had startled her and she took a few breaths it wasn’t a big deal, when he began talking though she had never been one to not speak her mind.

“It’s fine.” Rachel said looking at him, he was in more than deep shit she knew that from her dad and Brenda talking about it. His case was big news and with Ronan behind bars maybe Jamal felt it was safe enough to venture out. She nearly rolled her eyes about him trying to justify any of what he had been doing. Running drugs? Was what he had been doing the day they bumped into each other and he got her out of the neighborhood while he was looking for Yasmine. “Yeah you’re in deep shit is an understatement of the year. You ran drugs to make music do you realize how dumb that sounds when you are loaded?”

City Hall

Walter looked over the crowd for a moment as he got his talking points ready it was going to be quite the debate and in few days people would be going to the polls. He had this in the bag the preliminary numbers already showed that. He looked over at Lauren who was staring at the crowd and over at Brenda things between them were still tense. He knew however they had to put on a show they always did, had been for years. They had to stay married for the children and he wondered over the last few weeks if that was where it went all wrong for them. He shook Charles’s hand as he made his way to his wife, who had focused her attention on glaring at Lex.

“It’s rude to glare my dear and we should be grateful for their help at the moment with the election. Lex is well aware that Dani won’t be here since she made that perfectly clear when I called to ask her to come.” Walter said looking at her and then he caught sight of Brenda walking towards them the debate would start soon. She looked stunning and gorgeous and he caught himself staring and turned back to Lauren. “For tonight can we please just put this behind us. We can see a counselor after the election if you think we need to again.”

Lauren eyes narrowed as she looked at her husband and was exhausted with this election. How could she continue to be the fake Mrs. Fraiser when she was hating him? After the election he might not have a family or a wife in his life. If he wanted Brenda that was fine she wasn’t going to be bitter. She promised herself that she was going to do better if she left him. Never had she ever been embarrassed by him until now. Yes he made mistakes but his vitriol hatred for Dani disgusted her. He had every right to hate Jackson but he had no right to disown his very own flesh. As she bit down on her lip she looked at him.

“Put behind our daughter and what’s right?” She seethed as she at looked at her husband. “It’s not about counseling it’s about your character as a man. I’m so sick of your smug indignation about her choices either you get it together and you promise me to try. Or I won’t go out there. I won’t I won’t pretend for the cameras.” Lauren looked at her lavender dress with her twilight gray jacket as she sat down. “This is it either you change and I walk. I’ll go to the press and bury you. Think I won’t try me? I’ll let that bitch win everything you’ve built.”

“Put behind this tension that you seem to have about Brenda. Should Dani not want to listen to reason about Jackson I’ve decided that’s her problem. When he fucks up and we both know he will she’ll see I was right and go right back to Lex. I asked her to come and she declined what more would you like me do?” Walter asked he meant it at Brenda the press had went into a frenzy at the Devonshire party and Lauren slugging her in the face. He had reached out to Dani he was still furious Jackson and she were living together. “I am not happy she moved in with him the fact you even support that is baffling. Bury me Lauren? You won’t you see deep down you don’t want Brenda to win either I know you and I know that much. Shall we take the stage they are about to begin?”

Taking his arm she looked at her husband as the pictures began. She leaned in whispering in his ear. “You are baffling to me as a man. If she kept that baby would I have even had a chance? I want a divorce.” She smiled and waved at the crowd as she sat down. Where was the showboat? When he sat by her she leaned in still looking perfect smiling. “If you don’t change I swear I’m leaving. Promise me now.” Lauren said waving into the crowd. “Walter I got half of all your votes from the women who want someone who they can trust. How much do you think they can trust you if you are a cheating asshole like their husbands?”
