Chapter 91 Bail
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Song Ya sat by the telephone and waited quietly.
Alicia Flock, a defense lawyer he hired at great expense, advised to keep a low profile, and as celebrities, neither he nor Lowry Jr. would attend today's bail hearing, lest the media take a greater interest in Tony's case.
This kind of hearing does not require much courtroom argument, and the defendants are lined up to be brought before the judge, and after a few brief exchanges of evidence between the prosecution and the defense lawyer, the judge will make a verdict, which usually takes no more than 20 minutes.
Beside her, Emily looked at Freddy, who was sitting on the floor playing with toys, while Aunt Susie and Connie were chatting with each other.
"I've heard from Taryn that GD has won big lately, and they've secretly brought in a bunch of gunmen from Mississippi......" Connie whispered.
"Don't talk about that, Bichi."
Aunt Susie scolded, "Don't you think we're not annoying enough? How's Taryn's business? ”
"It's not good, but it's enough, when the child is born, we will be the most complete and happy family in Nancheng." Connie touched her big belly and proudly showed off.
Aunt Susie, who had been poked in the sore spot, snorted twice and stopped talking.
Hayden entered the door and handed the newly bought mobile phone to Song Ya, "You make a list, and I will notify you of your new number." ”
Song Ya wrote a list and handed it to him, and then played with this Motorola MicroTAC alpha, which is much smaller and lighter than the common bricks, the microphone is made into a flip cover, which can be folded when not in use, blocking the dial button in the lower half, and the thin antenna can also be put away, and there is no problem with putting it in the suit pocket, but it will be a little awkward, because the battery behind it is still very thick.
The small and light price is more than 3,000 dollars spent.
"No Mira?" Hayden asked after reading the list.
"She's always holding on to the phone."
Song Ya confessed to him, "You tell her a brief explanation of the trouble on my side, and ask her not to come to Chicago at this time to surprise me, and now I am being targeted by tabloid reporters." ”
"Understood." Hayden agreed.
The phone rang at home, and Song Ya picked up the microphone, "Goodman? What do you think? OK…… You thank Alicia for me, and you take Tony home. ”
He put down the microphone and let out a long sigh of relief, "Tony is released on bail." ”
"Yay!" Aunt Susie and Connie celebrated happily.
He stood up, looked at the street outside through the window, as if there were no paparazzi, took his mobile phone, and walked out the door with Hayden,
"Aren't you going to come with us to welcome Tony home?" Aunt Susie asked.
"He has received awards for meritorious service, and he still needs someone to greet ......him," Song Ya complained, "I still have to wipe his ass." ”
Don't look at the black women in Nancheng who are not polite to boys like Tony who cause trouble outside, but their concept of law-abiding is actually not very strong, a man who is caught committing a crime is unlucky, escaping punishment is worth celebrating, and being able to take the money home is good to mix outside, so they don't care where the money came from......
To the Dodge dynasty in the underground parking lot sitting in Haiden, he put on a peaked cap, almost flat in the back seat, carefully observing the rearview mirror, the paparazzi who follow the stars usually ride motorcycles, so that they can shuttle freely in the streets and alleys, fortunately, there is no trace of them near home.
Hayden deliberately went around a few times before pulling the car downstairs at the law firm of Lockhard and Gardner.
They couldn't help but be careless, the defense lawyer Alicia Flock introduced by Claire is the wife of Peter Flock, the state prosecutor of Cook County, and her husband is the top boss of the prosecution, but his wife is a defense lawyer and has a good deal.
Of course, bail is not enough, the next court session is the highlight, easy bail out of Tony, Alicia has proven her strength, and now it is Song Ya's turn to prove her strength to the other party, this kind of transaction is not a defense fee that can be dismissed.
He and Hayden met with Alicia and Will Gardner in the office of their title partner, 'Gardner' in Lockhard and Gardner.
"Hey! Big Star ......"
Will Gardner is a handsome white man in his thirties, free-spirited, passionate, more like a Wall Street elite than a stereotypical unconventional lawyer.
"Hello, Will, hello, Alicia." Song Ya shook hands with them separately.
Alicia Flock is also in her thirties, with a well-proportioned figure, textbook-level makeup and dress, beautiful long chestnut hair, and a professional smile that always hangs on her delicate face.
"Is Tony home?" Will gestured to the couch, "Please be seated." ”
"It's time to be home now, thank you Will." Song Ya and Hayden take their seats.
"You should be more grateful to Alicia."
"Of course." Song Ya smiled at Alicia.
"I'll go out if it's okay, and I'll prepare the defense draft for next week's trial......" Alicia said goodbye with the dossier in her arms.
"Now can we talk about your acquisition plans?" Will opened the door for Alicia, then came back and sat across from Songya.
"Yes, my A+ Audio company is preparing to buy Warren Brothers Synthesizers in New Jersey, and the problem now is that AW Investments, the owner of the company, is running into obstruction from the local union......"
Song Ya introduced the situation one by one.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and in order to help Tony get away with it, Song Ya handed over the acquisition to Alicia's comprehensive law firm, and if the acquisition is successful, the legal affairs of A+ Audio will also be handed over to them in the future. Goodman lost a big business and had nothing to say, who told him not to go to court.
The two sides negotiated a rough acquisition plan, in which Lockhard and Gardner Law Firm would get five percent of the purchase price, and then 100,000 dollars would cut the purchase price of 7 million offered by AW Investment Company, and Song Ya would also pay them a certain percentage of the reward.
"Okay, then, we'll see you in New Jersey on February 22nd."
The contract was faxed to Goodman for review, both parties signed, and Will took the initiative to reach out.
"See you in New Jersey."
Riding in Haiden's car, "Let's go back to the studio." Song Ya rubbed her eyebrows tiredly, she hadn't slept much in the past two days, and the process of recording the song was also delayed, "You put more pressure on SBK." ”
"Don't worry, I'll let them settle the money as soon as possible." Hayden drove the car to the parking lot downstairs of the studio.
Across the street, two white paparazzi in leather clothes sat on a motorcycle, and when they saw Song Ya get out of the car, they grabbed the camera and rushed over, pressing the shutter randomly, and running around while taking pictures.
"Hey, APLUS! I heard that your brother is out on bail, have you seen him? ”
"Whose the hell is that gun? Yours or Lori's? ”
"I heard that the opportunity for you to sing was won for you by your brother who was a follower for little Lowry, right?"
"Have you ever been Lori Jr.'s sidekick? APLUS! ”
"Hey! How about singing it to us too? ”
"LET'S LAUGH AT THE CAMERA, APLUS!"
"Damn the paparazzi." Hayden escorted him to the building, "Ignore them, these paparazzi make money by provoking celebrities." ”
"I won't."
Song Yacai was too lazy to deal with the paparazzi's nonsense, and went upstairs into his recording studio, he who wanted to start recording songs immediately to catch up with the progress suddenly felt very tired, "I'll go to sleep first, let them not disturb me." He said to Al.
Back in the office, he lay down on the sofa with his clothes and quickly fell asleep.
This time he had a good night's sleep, and he was fighting with Harley in his dreams, when suddenly a few gunshots rang out outside the building, which made him wake up all of a sudden.
"What's going on?" He asked loudly as he rushed out of the office.
"The direction of the gunfire is GD's nearby point of sale." Al, who was lying on the window and watching, replied: "It's either a land grab, or it was swept away by the police, it doesn't matter, you can continue to sleep, this kind of thing is very common." ”
