I actually never meant to be in this thing of ours. I had a beautiful wife, 2 kids. I had a nice house, a nice job. I was a...a lawyer. I, however, wasn't on the defense side. I have taken down more criminals than any person has done in a life time.

Then there was this one guy. He was being prosecuted on charges of murder, gang violence, drug dealing, conspiracy, rape, and many other things. I remember him to this day. He looked like rugged, he looked me in the eye and i looked into his. I knew he was heartless, no regrets for anything. He actually walked up to me and said "Hey buddy, i got some advice"

I asked him, "What?"

"Don't win this case" He said to me. The state was paying me to try to get this guy convicted. I have heard more threats than i could count. But this guy was different. I knew it when i heard him say those words.

I had won the case. The guy was to get the death sentence. His death would be in 3 weeks, at midnight. As I walked out the courtroom, and the cops were holding him, not letting him go, he looked me the eyes. He said something, but i couldn't hear him. The media wanted me to talk, but i avoided them and walked to my car and drove off.

I had sleepless nights for the next week. I was remember his words "Don't win this case"

Then one night, When i looked in my mail, i saw a note. It was a death threat.

"You should have lost the case. Now our boss is going to die, and it's your fault. Everyone who was on that jury is dead. All that leaves is you and that judge. Have a nice 2 weeks, you've just got a death sentence"

I called the police about this, and they started investigating, looking for the gang. After 3 days, nothing. Then something happened. When I got home, no one was there. I looked everywhere. My wife and children were no where in the house. Then the phone rang.

I picked it up and heard someone say "We have them, meet us at the park that you bring your kids to to play in 10 minutes"

I felt horrible, even though no one was talking on the phone, i didn't have the ability to put the phone back. I was devastated.

I drove to the park, and I saw three goons, but only one of my kids.

"Where's the rest of my family?" I asked

"I'm sorry, but i don't give a care" he said, then he punched me in the face. I was knocked out cold.

When I woke up, i saw i was tied up. I looked across from me, and I saw my little kid. He was crying and was tied up.

Then one of the gang members entered the room. He punched me straight in the stomach. I had never felt so much pain. I started coughing up some blood.

"I bet you wish you didn't win that case" he said

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I have killed many people, so don't try anything" he said

"What do you want?" I asked again.

 He looked me in the eye. I could see he was an uncaring man, unforgiving, and merciless. I knew he was a man without a care. He looked at me with a smile.

"For you to get our guy out of prison, and not on death row" he said

"You know I can't do that...It's not even possible" I said. He looked at me, his eyes uncaring. He then pulled out a gun and aimed it at my kids head. "What are you doing!?" I yelled. My kid started crying. The man didn't budge, didn't care. 

"How about now!?" He yelled.

I looked at him. "Fine, just don't hurt my son, please!"

He pulled away the gun and put it in his jacket. "In eleven days, my boss will be dead, you have 3 days to save him, if not, this kid is gone" he said

"That's not enough time..." I said.

"I don't care, after 6 days, if he is not saved, your other kid is dead" he said.

"That's still not..." I said, but then he pulled out a gun and aimed it at my head.

"After that, if he isn't saved by 8 days, your wife is dead"

"Please, this isn't fair!" I yelled.

"If he isn't saved at all, you will die too..." he said.

To be continued...
