It's been a day since I've been in holding they have no proof that I killed or beat Kenny because Benny
Didn't testify as a witness because obviously the nigga deserved it. I have court today at 10:00 and Beyoncé is coming with Amariana so she can tell what happened. They still have me in this hiding room sitting here looking at these dirty ass walls. I was really lost in my thoughts about what can I really do if I am guilty leaving my wife my kids my family period my job what am I gonna do.
"Good morning Mr.Carter" I looked up seeing a man in a suit and a case. "Mind if I take a seat"
"Yeah man go head" I looked around for a bit. "But I thought detective Reese was gonna be here" I said surely before he shook his head
"No, not today since you already know her and worked with her for finding your daughter for 11 years we don't want any funny use to get you out for free" I scrunched my face fuck this nigga mean
"So what your saying we was gonna click together so she can help me out of here use or not I'm getting out" i semi yelled
"Ok, whatever you say anyways I'm detective John, can you tell what happened" I huffed and rubbed my face I've told them this shit since I been here
"I was at one of my good friends house with my daughter and there was another dude there everything was fine we were tlaking playing the game and I think my daughter knew something was up she got extra close to me when we sat down she ask to go to the bathroom and she went then Kenneth his name I guess" I explained
"He said he was gonna go get another beer he left out the living room as well and time was being taken and I knew something was up i felt it but I didn't want to believe it" i croaked out feeling tears but I'm not about to cry infront of no man
"I heard glass and screaming I jumped up and umm" I took a deep breath and collected myself I started getting flashes of what happened when I walked in that bathroom I shook my head lowering it as tears fell I quickly whipped them and sat up. " I walked in the bathroom and he was on top of her choking her and sh-she didn't have on any pants or underwear. He nodded his head writing
"And you what just beat him?" Is this nigga what the fuck
"Hell yeah,like any other father would if they seen their daughter being touched by a man just like if a woman seen another woman hurt or harm her child period don or daughter" I reassured
"And you couldn't just call the cops?" This dude
"Listen man do you have kids?" He just looked at me looking for a reason if my question. " do you?" He nodded.
" yeah and what daughter son?" He clearly his throat
"Daughter" he spoke I nodded
"How old?"
"6" I nodded my head. " what would you do if a man was on top of your daughter choking her while she had barley any clothes on and no telling what happened before you walked in so what would you do?" He scrunched his face disgust
"Come on mean I don't want to think about that" he shook his head
"You see how you don't even want to think about that image seeing that and your telling me you won't beat whoever it is ass" I spoke he was silent before looking back at me
"Listen I don't know how you and your family handle child molesters and things like this but my child was kidnapped" I spoke he snapped his head up giving me his attention.
" and me and my wife missed 11 years and we were both devastated my wife was traumatized worried is she alive? is she ok? is she being fed loved? is she happy? So we take our kids safety extra seriously and that really not only scared me but triggered me and made me nervous how am I gonna tell her mother she was almost raped thank god for my sister in law" I chuckled bitterly we got quite and sat in silence until after a moment he cleared his throat
"I'm sorry mad honestly now that I think about it I couldn't even imagine how hard that must've been on you and your wife" he spoke sincerely he closed he note pad and put it up " well looks like you won't be in jail" I snapped my he's sup and he smiled softly
"Self defense and he assaulted and harmed a minor" i nodded " but I have to ask did you plan to kill him?" I sighed
"Man I didn't think I beat him that bad when we took my daughter to the hospital he was breathing and was moving still and when we got to the hospital a detective came to talk to my daughter and she said she talked to him in the hospital that he was in" I sat up remembering
"Wait and that was after you beat him?" I nodded "so y'all went to a hospital she said she talked to him before she talked to your daughter at the hospital he was in?" He spoke making sure he heard right
"Yeah" I nodded. He looked at the ground as if he was thinking " so how did you kill him" he whispered more to his self. " when did they come to you and arrest you?"
"Yesterday" I replied "but everything happened the 8th" he shot his head up
"Wait a minute Al this played out the 8th and they just arrested you yesterday on the 12th saying you murdered him?" I nodded " i though maybe you beat him bad to were he bled out and if so he would've died right then and there. There is no a coupled days of that then you die bleeding out death happens on the spot" he spoke I nodded. He shook his head
"Somethings not right, listen just hang in here man I'm gonna get you out of here" he stood up holding his hand out for me to shake which I did. " thanks man" I spoke he nodded and left out I sat back and huffed really thinking about how they tried to play me but something's really isn't right now that I'm remembering.

"I know your not sleep" I rolled my eyes she turned her head and she looked like she been crying. I signed and picked her up placing her on my lap and she immediately laid her head down on my chest.
"I don't want to talk to them" she mumbled into my chest i sighed and rubbed her back. "Baby me and grandma will be there with you" i spoke softly in her hair
"I know it's just embarrassing and scary" she admitted. " I know boo but you daddy home right he can't stay in there" i huffed and and sat up a bit." Listen I know we always talk about how I was when you were gone but your father wasn't so good neither so if you don't do this he'll have to stay in there for god knows how long and I know it wa I'll hurt him to miss out more on your life and your sisters as well" she didn't speak or move for a moment of silence until she finally noded and sat up
"Ok,I'll do it" she looked me in my eyes I broke into a smile and kissed her cheek we smiled at each other and didn't move until i realized we had to be there at 10:00
"Well get up" I clapped my hands making her laugh. "Get dressed....brush your teeth...... do your hair.....let's go" I said between endless claps she got up and bolted to the bathroom I shook my head and chuckled. Before exiting her room

" yeah she's a bit scared but I let her know that if she can't do this Shawn wouldn't be back and that did it" I chuckled "anyway she getting ready right now. She nodded and we heard feet coming downs the stairs by the sound we already knew who it was she is always stomping making a appearance
"Hi grandma" blue screamed running to mama causing us to laugh at her excitement. " blue baby indeed voices" I got out between my laughs
"Sorry" she whispered we heard foot steps and we seen Amariana dressed and ready. "Okay I'm done" she said out of breath with little hair flys in her face.

We dropped blue off at Auntie Kelly's and we just now pulling into the court my palms began to get sweaty and and I felt a slight headache approaching. We parked and bey looked back at me
"Don't be nervous ok we'll be right in there with you" i nodded my head and we began to get out and walk inside. We took all of our things off to get searched after we did we went in and waited for daddy to come out we sat down in the first row
"Are you Shawn Corey Carter's wife?" A man asked bey nodded her head. "I am" she spoke he held his hand out and she took it shaking it
"I'm his former defender and you must be Amariana?" He looked at me I nodded. "Yes I am" he shook my hand as well
"Shawn should be out in a few" he spoke. Bey nodded " so I don't know if you know but what's gonna happen with my husband" she asked
"Well what Shawn has told me about the killing and when he got arrested it didn't add up to me and even if it was at the right timing It was still self defense since he harmed your daughter so I doubt he would've been in longer" he spoke truthfully. Bey nodded
"So he won't be getting arrested?" She asked I perked up and gave more of my attention. "Well I can't say he won't be because who ever is here to plead him guilty to help that man will find a way with some arguments but it's really up to what the judge hears but don't worry I'm gonna do the best I can Mrs.Carter" he said sincerely bey nodded and we heard doors being open revealing daddy. I couldn't help but let a few tears fall seeing him like that he looked tired over whelmed and stressed he didn't even have his head up. I felt a arm being wrapped around my shoulder and being pulled in
"I know,don't cry baby" Beyoncé smooth deep voice whispered in my ear I nodded my head and sat up just enough to see but I remained to lay on her chest as she rubbed my back. "All rise" we all stood up and as the judge made it to her seat. "You may be seated" we sat back down and o grabbed Beyoncé hand.

"Good morning your honor I'm defective/defender for Shawn. He spoke and the judge nodded. "It appears that Shawn and his 14 year old daughter were at a friends of Shawn's house and another male was there and his daughter felt uncomfortable with his appearance already" he explain
"Did Mr.Carter know who the man was?" The judge asked. "No ma'am" she nodded "you may continue"
"She asked if she could be excused to go the restroom and she did so apparently Kenneth said he was gonna go get another beer and he never appeared back as well as the 14 year old didn't either Mr.Carter felt something was up when the time was running pass and he said he heard glass and his daughter screaming he ran into the bathroom and Kenneth Moore was on top of the 14 years old girl as she didn't have and pants or panties on your honor" a bunch of gasped filled the room even the judge her self I laid my head fully in beys chest feeling tears of embarrassment and scared
"It's ok baby" she whispered in my ear I whipped my face and friend my head just enough to get a view.
"Is the child here?" She asked my heard sped up and i gripped on to bey tighter she held my hand and rubbed by back calming me as much as she could as well as grandma took my other hand. "Yes your honor she is present with her mother"
"May I speak with the child" I looked at bey and she kissed my head " it's ok I'll be right here I promise just tell the truth and it'll all be over" i nodded my head and she kissed my once more before I nervously stood up and trialed my self to the stand next to the judge she turns to me and informed a small smile and she smiled back
"Your absolutely gorgeous I just wanted to point that out" I smiled feeling a hit confronting at her words "thank you" she nodded. " so can you tell me what happened?" I looked at Beyoncé and she mouthed "it's alright I'm right here" i noded my head before giving my attention back to the judge.
"I was with my dad and we went to go visit my uncle Benny he Sam been my dad's friend for years" I explain for the name she nodded." And another man was there i felt uncomfortable already because this was my first time letting them" I spoke she gave a confused look "them?" I looked at bey and she noded
"Um I took a deep breath before explaining " I was kidnapped when I was 3 and I'm just now getting back to them it's only been a month" she nodded her heard." I was nervous already but when I got to him he was looking at me hungrily and biting his lips at me I made sure to stay close to my dad but he kept staring and in the moment I was scared and I wanted to leave" I cleared my throat feeling links approach as I got closer to the worst of it all
"I went to the bathroom and I called my aunt I didn't want to call my mom because I knew it would have her panicking me being kidnapped traumatized her with things like that" I explained " and I told her what's was wrong and she said she was on her way as I was leaving I opened the door and there he was standing there I tried to walk out but he blocked me " he was saying a few things inappropriately and he pinned me against the wall and began to kiss me neck and he grabbed my bottom" i croaked out
"Take your time" the judge spoke i nodded me head and took a few inhales and outs. "Umm, I pushed him o-of me and he said I must like it rough if I can push like that, he grabbed my neck and put his other hand in my pants I was wiggling to get out of his grip but I started to get weak and lose my breath when he was choking me. He slammed me on the ground and grabbed my thighs pulling my pants down. I cried out lowly I stopped and but my lip feeling myself getting sick i looked at bey and she was in tears so I looked away because it was gonna make it worse for me I looked at daddy and I knew I needed to do this I can't have my father living the way he his like he's a monster.
"I began to punch him and he pinned my hands above my head and if she spilling my pants down and he looked at my lower oats and said Beyoncé is yo mama so I know you got it wet " more gasped feeling followed along by whispering. " he began to touch and out his mouth down there a and I looked up seeing the glass soap holder i grabbed it and hit in with it causing it to break them that's when he got on top of me choking me fully this time then my dad came in and pushed him off of me and he began to beat him then my aunt came and they took me to the hospital"
"Wow" the judge Sat up and sighed handing me a box of tissues "and what was wrong when you went to the hospital?" I cleaned my face before speaking
"I fractured my ribs form him slamming me I have to take pain meds for that I have healing cream for the marks on my neck and sometimes I have to take a breathing treatment to get my oxygen rate back to its normal level since he was choking me the way he did" she shook her head and looked back ahead . "Is that mom?" She pointed to Beyoncé. I nodded "yes ma'am" she nodded
"Ok, you may return to your seat you a strong young lady I want you to know that" I smiled at her sympathy "thank you" I got up and went back down with the help of and security guard I went back to bey and she sat me on her lap kissing my temple "I'm so proud of you" she hugged me
"Ok, ten minute break" the judge requested everyone began to get up and leave out the room me bey and grandma went out in the hall and I sat down on the chair i huffed and rubbed my head feeling a headache.
"You ok baby?" Grandma asked making bey snap her head my way. " yeah just a slight headache"
"I'll give you some Tylenol when we get home" i noded my head and laid my head on grandma shoulder.
"Tired?" She asked as I felt her chin on the top of my head. I shook my head "nah I'm good" I sat up her and bey began to to laugh leaving me confused.
"What?" I asked looking between them as their laughs died down "nothing you just sound like ya mama over here" I chuckled and shook my head. We went silent just looking around. " I wonder how Kelly and Solo are doing with the kids" bey spoke breaking the silents
......
Kelly's house
"See I told you, you should've never gave them candy" Kelly yelled as she chased after the kids with solo behind her trying to get them to settle down but they continued to run around the house
"AHHHHH" titan yelled as he ran from Kelly. " they said they would sit down if I did" Solange yelled back as she was catching up to blue who was running with a glass of milk and cookies eating and spilling.
"And you really believed them and let them sucker you?" Kelly yelled still ringing after both children as they ran into the movie room
"It used to work on julez when I had to bribe him with things" Solange yelled they both caught up to each child Solange grabbed titan and Kelly grabbed blue they were both out of breath as both kids were laughing
"Next time....." kelly began out of breath moving her hair out her face. "we babysit....we'll give them all organic and make them go to sleep" she said between her breathes
"Deal" Solange hugged as she picked up titan and carried him out the movie room followed by Kelly carrying a hyper blue.
Shawn
11:00
We all came back in from break a while ago and right now we're back In Kenneth defender is speaking as well.
"Apparently your honor Kenneth more was killed by Mr.Carter on the 11th your honor, he was rushed to the and he didn't make it your honor" she spoke even though I know I didn't do it I still feel ashamed hearing her trying to make me sound like a criminal
"So the fight and all of what happened on the 11th since he died that day?" The judge asked getting it straight
"Yes ma'am" did this bitch just lie. "Objection your honor," john stood up
"Your ho-" the lady began but the judge held her hand up cutting her off " go ahead" she spoke to John he nodded
"Your honor the situation in the beginning was on the 8th they didn't snatch Mr.Carter from his wife and daughters until the 12th" he spoke surely
"Objection your honor" the lady stood up the judge nodded and let her speak. "Mr.Carter did beat Kenneth Moore on the 8th he was rushed to the hospital that same day he had a few fractures and cut up marks he was bleed-"
"Objection your honor" John stood up she nodded letting him speak. " your honor it was told to me that Kenneth Moore death caused was form him bleeding out form the beating of the beating happened on the 8th and they just now picked up Shawn on the 12th doesn't that seem a bit iffy" he spoke "I mean a bleed out death would've happened right then and now there no waiting days later until the bled out happened and then you die it's not possible the blood can't stop flowing.
The judge nodded and lifted a paper reading it. "How long did it take for Kenneth to get to the hospital?" She asked
"Your honor it took 40 minutes until he made it to the hospital between the wait of the ambulance and the force from out the city your honor" the woman spoke the judge scrunched her face and took her glasses back off
"Ok so that's isn't possible if it took 40 minutes he would've died then and there 40 minutes is more than enough time to bleed out and you said some parts were fractured and injured,injury's can cause death as well se he would've actually died in the middle of him being beat" she explain the woman remain silent I wanted to smile and laugh because she knew what she was up too.
"And you do realize lying as a defender can not only make you lose your job but you claims also get arrested for a PDF compliant" still silent the judge nodded knowing this was all a joke. She motioned for the guards to come to her and they did she whispered and they nodded a few times i bite my lip and was fiddling with my fingers feeling a wave of nervous hit me. The went back to their stance
"All rise" we stood up and the judge looked at some more papers I looked back and saw Beyoncé who was already looking at me with glossy eyes she pulled Amariana in her chest and I turns back around giving my all attention
"For the murder of Kenneth Moore I confess Shawn Corey Carter"
"Not guilty"
Alright y'all
