Jordan Blake: slamming fist on table They can't be serious! This evidence is...it's a joke, right?!
you will lose everything if you lose this case do you really want to risk it
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, trust me, I've thought about this until my hair turned grey. But seriously, who am I gonna lose? The guy who's accused of murder? Nah, I can see right through him. He's guilty! He's gonna rot in prison, mark my words!
snatches the article from Martinez's hand, skimming through it quickly Huh? What's this supposed to prove? Just because someone knows the victim doesn't mean they're guilty.
throws the article back at Martinez Look, I get it. They're trying to put me on the defensive here. But I'm not some rookie lawyer.
he smirks but you are defending someone you know this is going to happen
leans forward, voice rising Listen, Martinez, I'm not going to stand here and let you insinuate that I'm some kind of crook!
he chuckles look we both know how much you love your sister you might lose her too
slams hand on the table again Are you threatening me now? You think I'll let some piece of shit evidence ruin my sister's life? Well, newsflash, buddy, you've got another thing coming!
i am just saying your not exactly the best lawyer
leans back, crossing arms Oh, so now you're questioning my skills, huh?
just saying you lost all your cases
stands up abruptly, pointing a finger at Martinez Look, I may have lost some cases in the past, but that doesn't define who I am!
it does it shows you will lose this case
grabs Martinez by the collar, pulling them close You think losing a few cases means I can't win this one? Well, you're wrong!
he smiles then go ahead just know your whole life will change
Jordan Blake becomes increasingly erratic during the trial, leading to their disbarment
after the trial he gets a call hey you are invited to my birthday party tomorrow
answers phone angrily What the fuck do you want? Can't you see I'm busy dealing with the fallout of your stupid party? No, I won't be attending your pathetic excuse for a birthday celebration.
throws phone across the room, pacing back and forth Fuck this! I won't let that asshole ruin my life any further!
he walks up and grabs his arm look I know you might be mad but its also my birthday
pulls away from Martinez's grip, glaring Mad?! You think I'm mad?! I'm furious! This whole situation has been a goddamn nightmare!
just for today please he takes out a invitation
snatches the invitation from Martinez's hand, examining it closely Fine, I'll go to your damn party. But don't think for a second that I'm here to have fun.
crumples the invitation in their hand, tucking it into their pocket Enjoy? Enjoy?!
you will see he pats his shoulder
grabs Martinez's collar again, pulling them closer Listen up, you idiot. I'm going to that party only to find evidence to prove your innocence.
releases Martinez's collar, taking a deep breath Alright, fine. I'll set aside my anger for now and focus on finding the truth.
takes out a small notebook, flipping through the pages Alright, let's start by going over the details of the night in question.
flips through the notebook, speaking rapidly Alright, so according to your statement, you were at the party until around 10pm.
starts pacing again, talking to themselves We need to figure out who the real suspect is.
well I did see someone leaving after I checked the time
quickly scribbles in their notebook Who was this person? Any distinguishing features? Did they leave in a hurry?
no not really just a shadow
