District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2
Cody Rhodes: (Boy am I nervous!)
Brandi Rhodes: Cody!
Cody: Oh, h-hey, honey.
Brandi: Whew, I'm glad I made it on time. Well, I have to say baby, I'm impressed! Not everyone takes on a murder trial right off the bat like this. It says a lot about you... and your client as well.
Cody: Um... thanks. Actually, it's because I owe him a favor.
Brandi: A favor? You mean, you knew the defendant before this case?
Cody: Yes. Actually, I kind of owe my current job to him. He's one of the reasons I became an attorney.
Brandi: Well, that's news to me!
Cody: I want to help him out any way I can! I just... really want to help him, I owe him that much.
???: (It's over! My life, everything, it's all over!)
Brandi: ...Isn't that your client screaming over there?
Cody: Yeah... that's him.
???: (Death! Despair! Ohhhh! I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna die!!!)
Brandi: It sounds like he wants to die...
Cody: Um, yeah. *sigh*
Seth Rollins: Cody!
Cody: Hey. Hey there, Seth.
Rollins: Dude, I'm so guilty!! Tell them I'm guilty!!! Gimme the death sentence! I ain't afraid to die!
Cody: What!? What's wrong, Seth?
Rollins: Oh, it's all over... I... I'm finished. Finished! I can't live in a world without her! I can't! Who... who took her away from me, Cody? Who did this!? Aww, Cody, ya gotta tell me! Who took my baby away!?
Cody: (Hmm... The person responsible for your girlfriend's death? The newspapers say it was you...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cody: My name is Cody Rhodes. Here's the story: My first case is a fairly simple one. A young woman was killed in her locker room. The guy they arrested was the unlucky sap dating her: Seth Rollins... my best friend since wrestling school. Our school had a saying: "When trouble's afoot, it's usually Rollins." In the 38 years I've known him, it's usually been true. He has a knack for getting himself in trouble. One thing I can say though: it's usually not his fault. He just has terrible luck. But I know better than anyone, that he's a good guy at heart. That and I owe him one. Which is why I took the case... to clear his name. And that's just what I'm going to do!
