"T-that's irrelevant. He doesn't want me to tell you." Al told Martha. "If that got out, he'd have me killed for reals, especially if you win the case. You may be harmed yourself."

"Um...Al," Martha said. "I'm going to defend you tomorrow. Please tell me something. Anything! Do you remember anything from earlier this night? Earlier today even?"

"I don't know what you want!" Al yelled with paranoia in his voice. "First I'm at the store, now this!" He slammed his head into the table.

"Okay, we both need to calm down," Martha said. "What store are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything about a store." Al said, darting his eyes to the side. "And I surely didn't do anything illegal. You've got to trust me on this!" Al pleaded, clearly getting stressed out.

"Objection!" Martha yelled instinctively. "Sorry. Old habit of mine. Anyway, you just said a second ago, and I quote, 'First I'm at the store, and now this!' ...Look, I trust that you didn't do anything illegal, but I don't have any evidence or any documentation on this case. I truly don't know anything except that you're being accused of murder. Anything you could tell me now would be a huge help." I doubt I'll get anything out of him, but I have to try.

"But I don't know what to tell you!" Al complained. "It's like the Mafia is out to get me!" Al banged the table in frustration. "I don't even know what there is to tell you!"

"Well, could you tell me who the victim was? Why the police might think you did it? Anything like that?" Martha asked. Geez, will I have to take down the mafia just so I can get this guy to talk?

"I don't know anything, I swear!" Al yelled. "I don't know enough about the case to make a judgement! If I could tell you, I would. But I can't, so I won't."

"Nothing at all? Somehow, I doubt that," Martha said. "But, okay. I guess I can't force anything out of you. But, while I'm here, could you tell me a little about yourself?"

Al's face grew pale. He had forgotten about his family. "M-my family.... M-my kids.... M-my wife...."

"An attorney? Defending my family from the Godfather's men? I find that unlikely." Al said, avoiding the question. "If you were a police officer, that'd be another story, I guess."

"So does the Godfather. What's your point?" Al asked. "I bet he hired the police to arrest me, after framing me somehow."

At least I'm getting something out of him. "So, um...Why did you come to my office earlier?" Martha asked stupidly, hoping to get him to say more.

"I saw you on the TV before the Godfather set out to get me." Al explained. "I talked about what happened after the trial. Then I guess I angered him, which led down to this."

"We continued our discussion." Al said vaguely. "We came to a negative conclusion and now he's after me. Next thing I know it I'm here."

"Discussion? About what?" Martha asked. I'm not sure I'll like the answer if he doesn't side-step the question.

"I can't tell you that." Al said. "If the Godfather bought out the police, then he'd probably bribe the Judge. Besides, if I turn out to be not guilty, I'll have to deal with his men."

"If I say the wrong this, he'll have my head - especially if you win the case." Al told Martha. "You'll have to be especially careful when gathering information for the case. He might be after your head as well."

Great! Now I have to take down the mafia entirely to keep myself safe, too. WAIT! The text message said all the evidence I need would be given to me. Was that...A lie? Martha thought. "Don't worry about me," she said. "It's nothing I can't handle." I'll bet gathering information will be like pulling teeth.

"In that case, I have nothing more to say." Al told Martha. "If we were to continue to talk, we could go on in circles, which could last for a long time. That could cut into you sleep time."

"Yeah. Good point," Martha said. Though I probably wouldn't be able to sleep anyway... She got up and left.

Outside the detention center was a black limousine of sorts. It was the kind that the Mafia is often depicted driving with. One of the windows in the back rolled down, revealing a man's face. "Get in." He said in a gruff voice, as he opened the door for Martha.

Martha looked around, hoping to see someone else walking around, but she didn't see anyone. She was in no position to refuse, so she reluctantly got into the car.

The car move forward as Martha closed the car door. "You're Ms. Fey, aren't you?" The man asked. "The one from the trial earlier?"

The man took out a cigar from a compartment, then lit it. He then inhaled the smoke from the cigar, then exhaled. "I heard a friend of mine came to your office today. He goes by 'Al'. Is this true?" He asked Martha.

"Doesn't sound like you had many friends in your life, have you?" The man asked, in response to Martha's answer. "Al gets himself in trouble a lot, and I want to be there for him when he does. I like to help my friends whenever I can."

Hm...Something tells me the "help" he's offering isn't the kind I want to accept, but I might as well give him a straight answer anyway...
"No friends worth mentioning," Martha said. "He did come to my office..."
