Academy Murders: Purple Prose

There’s a change coming for you. Hold onto your selfish pride. You won’t have to worry about the cases. They will be wrapped up in the truth.

You have brought your pure spirit into my life and I am glad along with my him and your him to know you. You’re going to disregard all of the treasonous words. Everything they say against you will be captured and evaluated. It will be seen as faulty and not relevant in a court of law.

You will bring all of your grace and ability to this whole ordeal. When it is finally time for you to stand up and face the jury, you will find yourself alleviated from this great burden.

Here in Delaware, people are showing more support for you as a cop than I’ve ever seen in these streets. There are banners and people marching in the streets demanding swift justice in your favor.

All of the news media including Channel 30 and the Daily Delaware are all printing stories about the injustice of having you locked up like this. The op-eds are strong on your deliverance from the criminal justice system which you swore to serve and protect.

As your ride along, I know that you can be counted on for defeating viciousness and the ills that plague our society.

She folded the paper and stuffed it back into the envelope. She then stuck out her hands to be cuffed and led out of her living space.

She met up with her lawyer.

“How’s it going? You didn’t respond to my email.”

“Time was up,” Kim said.

“Anyway, we’re going to get you out of all this. Everything happens for a reason.”

“All human activity ought to happen because of reason.”

“Great correction, anyway. We have a solid defense for both scenarios. You were asleep in both cases. You couldn't sleepwalk and strangle either one of them.

It’s obviously impossible.”

Kim nodded slowly and canted her head to her left side. “Yes.”

“If you take into account the facts that I explained in the email, you should know that you’re protected.”
