Let’s Meet
Andre can't sleep all night.
He twists and turns in the bed, thinking he's meeting the crush of his life in a few hours. Far too early he stands fully clothed in front of the mirror, it's a new suit he brought from Barbados that he knows will look great on him.
After taking a final look at himself, he grabs his car keys and phone and makes his way to the garage. When he has taken a seat behind the wheel, he hears his phone informing him that he has a new notification. But he doesn't feel like it now, he drives directly to Aziel's house.
As he steps in, he is greeted by a sleepy Aziel sitting at the breakfast table with a cup of hot coffee. “Man, didn't you sleep at home? We don't have to be at the district court for three hours. What is the rush?!” he teases his friend. Andre also pours himself a coffee and sits down opposite Aziel. “I'm in love”, he drops his secret. Aziel is wide awake now and stares at the man in amazement. “Sure? Are you in love or are you both are? Because until now I've seen you alone, without a partner,” Aziel asks.
Andrew smiles. “I have little hope that it's mutual. Soon I'll know if the sparks are firing on both sides. I'm so ready for a new relationship, telling you!" For a moment he seems to dream away in his crush. “Okay, let us know what you make of it. We all want to see you happy. Lorrich is going crazy with a new daddy”, Aziel smiles now too.
On hearing Lorrich's name, Andre sobers up immediately. “Is the boy good at the Fellogan’s house? We leave him there too long, maybe he misses us. Are the school holidays not close? Maybe it's time to take him to Barbados on vacation," he thinks. "We need to distract him and not show how stressed we are with Loraine's disappearance."
Aziel sighs deeply. “Fellogan keeps him and I didn't oppose it. With his family he does not feel the stress and pressure, he meets cousins his age with whom he can romp. His cheerfulness is not completely lost with that.” The man stares sadly ahead. “Danner makes a big mistake by keeping Loraine away from her son. I can imagine he doesn't want her with me, but she has a son, damn it! Is the man crazy or what?! He's only making this worse for himself." Aziel hits the table hard with his fist.
Andre agrees completely. “He thinks he can drug her forever. There comes a moment where she sobers up and when she finds out that her son has suffered mentally because of her absence, Danner is dead. That dumb ass makes a calculation error.” Shaking his head, he takes another sip of his coffee. “He must know that she has a child. How stupid can he be! Separating a mother from her child is the stupidest thing you can do.”
Aziel goes to his bedroom to get ready to leave. After thinking about Danner's case for a while, Andre picks up his phone and checks the notifications again. Then he sees that no one but Kenjal has sent him a message, almost half an hour ago. He quickly swipes his screen and reads what it says. ‘Meet me after the hearing at this address…’. Andre's heart is beating madly. He reads the address again, it is in a very distinguished gated community. Only the rich can afford to stay there. Andre realizes that Kenjal is a prominent lawyer and can afford such a place.
Suddenly the day looks brighter for him. He hopes this message leads to what he longs for. He decides not to answer and leaves Kenjal in the suspense. After months of ignoring him, giving him sleepless nights, Andre has no intention of making it easy for this man. And in the courtroom he will hardly pay any attention to him either. ‘Yeah man. We often have to sweat for the things we want the most’, he whispers to himself with a happy grin on his face.
In that mood, Aziel meets him when he comes back. He looks at his friend in surprise. “Won the Jackpot? Or is someone going to pay a high price for annoying you?” he asks confused. Andre laughs out loud. “Very close to that, yes. That guy I'm in love with just messaged me to meet him later. And I decided not to answer him so that he pisses in his pants with insecurity.” Both men are now laughing at Andre's plan and the atmosphere around them relaxes.
They jump into Andre's vehicle and drive straight to the courthouse. When they get there, the bus transporting suspects, just pulls up. Clairy steps out handcuffed, her face has a poisonous expression. The men shake their heads and when they now want to enter the building, two expensive luxury vehicles come to a halt. In the Lamborghini Elena Fellogan elegantly steps out, her security man holding the door open for her. When she sees Andre and Aziel standing, her chin lifts and she rolls her eyes. Perky she steps past the men, into the courthouse.
Dale steps out of the sportscar. When he sees Andre standing, it seems as if he wants to step towards him. But Andre makes a defensive movement to stop him in his tracks, obviously, he doesn't appreciate Dale's company. Dale walks past him into the room with a sour face. “Wow. Do criminals nowadays also have an attitude? Or is that until they stand in front of the prison gates? I'm really curious what his true motive is for joining this criminal network. He can't be so hungry that he participates in every action that brings in money," Aziel says dryly.
“We'll hear that soon enough. Trash belongs in the garbage heap. I hope your lawyer makes mincemeat of him, he's a selfish bastard. Probably didn't even think about you and your family, as long as the money makes him feel better," Andre sneers. They turn and are the last to arrive in the courtroom. Fortunately, the judge has not arrived yet. Lawyer Monsanto welcomes them and informs them what to expect from the day and what the procedures for the interrogation look like. Moments later, Clairy is brought in and the judge arrives shortly after. So the session can begin...
