Wine and Gun

Hardy: Did he describe his work specifically to you?

Witness 2: Well, we all know that Sequoia Manor is a rich man's club, which has always been well-known in the circle... So I didn't ask in detail, he just said that he needed it during the banquet organized by Sequoia Manor. "Concentrate your energy so that some people don't mess around".

Hardy: Ms. Milkoff, we need to be more specific. What do you mean by "always famous in the circle"?

Witness 2: Well, I mean, a lot of people actually know about this club at Sequoia Manor...they hold "banquets" a lot, don't they? It was definitely not a serious banquet, but a banquet for the rich and... "senior intercourse", uh, men and women, too. So I guess Michael is the thug in charge of keeping order for such a banquet. It's reasonable, isn't it? After all, are those rich people really going to build a club for jiāo dance?

(laughter)

Hardy: I ​​see, so did he mention his boss? About Mr. Slade?

Witness 2: He said several times, he said that Mr. Slade was "as domineering as a photo in the newspaper", "good at instructing others to live, and likes to yell", but also said that he was "paid for very rich."

Hardy: So, are you sure that Michael meant that his employer was Kabbah Slade himself? And not the others at Sequoia Manor, like Rowan?

Witness 2: Yes, I'm pretty sure. He mentioned Mr Rowan to me once, saying he was "Street's secretary".

Hardy: Okay, I'm done with my questions.

Judge: Mr. Armalite.

Amarette: Ms. Milkoff, what is your relationship with Michael?

Witness 2: Huh? Feel sorry?

Amalette: I mean, are you and him good friends, or lovers? Or relatives?

Witness 2: What? Do not! I am nothing more than his employer.

Armalite: So, is Michael going to tell you everything that happened to him?

Hardy: No! This question has nothing to do with this case.

Judge: No, I want to hear her answer.

Witness 2: Of course he won't tell me everything, I'm his employer, not his mother.

(laughter)

Armalite: When our team of lawyers asked the staff at your bar, they told us that you had a heated argument with Michael late last year and threatened to fire him, do you remember that?

Witness 2: Yes. Uh... (pauses) We quarreled at the time because I accidentally found out that he was helping the "One Eye" in the West District in private. It was a fight or something. I didn't want him to get involved in such troubles. Operating a store also brings danger, so...

Amalette: Did he go there behind your back?

Witness 2: Yes.

Amalette: Did he deny it when you quarreled with him? Since your relationship is only at the work level, and he has a history of cheating you, has he denied it this time?

Witness 2: …Yes.

Amarette: That is to say, Michael has a record of taking other illegal jobs behind your back, right? Even if he told you that he was watching the Sequoia Manor and called Slade "the boss", it's not certain that was the case; it's possible that he was actually employed by someone else, but chose another for the sake of concealment. a more probable claim, and lied to you about it; after all, he has a history of lying to you for his illegal actions, right?

Witness 2: …Yes. But I don't think he's going to—!

Armalite: Your Honor, I have no further questions.

(The crowd in front of the courthouse did not spread out, but tended to gather more and more. As time went by, more and more reporters aimed their equipment at the main entrance of the courthouse, as if they were waiting for something. Leah Stoker still stands in front of the camera in high spirits, with a professional smile on her face)

Thalia: The noon recess is approaching. Since video and photography are prohibited from this trial, we will not know anything about the status of the trial until the results of the interviews are released by the few journalists who attended the trial. Now we can see reporters and crowds of demonstrators waiting for the judges and prosecutors and defense lawyers to leave the scene; some minor witnesses were present at this morning's trial, and to protect their privacy, they will no doubt come from more Hidden other exits leave the courthouse...

(Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. As the camera zoomed in, many people could be seen walking out from the main entrance of the court. They were members of the defense lawyer team.)

Thalia: We can see that the defense lawyers have left the scene. The gentleman at the head is Mr. Holmes, the founder of A\u0026H law firm. He smiled and looked very relaxed. Is it very beneficial for Slade? Beside him was the lead defense attorney in the case, Herstal Armalite—

(The crowd tries to get over the police cordon as they try to get in the direction of the crowd exiting the courthouse, camera flashes flashing in a sea of ​​silvery white. Reporters scrambling to shout something in that direction, throwing question after question, hoping to be defended Lawyers' response)
