IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES Book 2

Chapter 33

Aug looked down uncomfortable. I could tell he was feeling guilty.

“Corey, I can’t make any promises. But I do know that I’m going to try everything in my power to get you out of here.”

“Well if you good as my dawg say, I know I’m in good hands.”

“Yeah.” I sighed. Now the pressure was even greater.

“I got your file.” I pulled out his file. “The only thing I need to know is what happened when you were arrested.”

“Well they took me and Aug in.”

“Did they read you your Miranda rights?”

“Nah man. They just snatched us up.”

“You do know that’s illegal right? To be arrested and not Mirandize. Your other lawyer must’ve overlooked that, because on that alone you should be free.”

“Fareal?”

“Yeah you can’t do that.”

“But I plead so…”

“It’s still illegal.”

“So babe that mean he won already?” August asked me.

“There are no guarantees but that alone. That you guys were arrested and not Mirandized gives us an upper hand. You and Aug were interrogated in different rooms?”

“Yeah.” Sneak responded.

“For about how long?”

“Whew. They had us in there forever.” August added.

“Sholl did. It was like six hours or something.”

“I got it!” I gasped and started clapping.

“Babe, calm down.” August chuckled at my excitement.

“So Corey I can argue that because you were interrogated for an excessive period of time. How old were you?”

“17.”

“Times up!” The guard came over to get Sneak.

“Okay. For an excessive period of time, specifically for a 17 year old. The conviction is no good because the plea wasn't made knowingly, intelligently, and/or voluntarily. You were under duress!”

“I don’t know what that mean. But does it mean we good?” Sneak asked.

“We should be. I’ll travel back and forth to Nola if I need anything else.”

“Fasho.” I hugged him.

“We put money on your books bruh.” Aug hugged him.

“Thank y’all. And Aug you take care of this pretty lady.”

“I will bruh. Stay up.” Aug called back to him as he disappeared between the doors. The doors closed and I jumped up and down and intertwined my hands with Aug.

“I knew you had it. You worrying for nothing.” Aug smirked.

“I will get started on this right away.” I gathered my things.

“Thank you for doing this for us babe. It means the world to us.”

“Of course baby. Any way I can help.” I smiled at him and walked toward the exit.

“Mm-mm-mm.” I heard him say behind me.

“Please stop staring at my ass.”

He laughed and we left out.
