As soon as Archie arrived back at his home city, flashes of light entered his eyes and he began to worry about his safety. "What do you have to say about the incident? A lot of people say that you know something about it. The cops are looking for you too." "Do you think that it was a lie?!""How do you plan on exonerating yourself?!" "Tell us how it happened!"A horde of reporters stood in front of him, restricting his movement and never in his life had he ever found himself feeling this overwhelmed in his life but all thanks to Simon who had taught him that he wasn't supposed to engage them in any conversation because it would be used against him in the court of law and he was feeling very angry that everyone had concluded about him."I need to pass." He spoke. They refused to allow him room because they were actively fishing. "You need to respect my human rights and allow me to pass!" He yelled, before seizing one of the reporters' cameras.They parted, allowing him to walk thro
Archie stood before the counter and was looking forward to having a conversation with the Inspector General. A woman met him right outside with a small smile on her face and he immediately identified her. She was the lawyer who was supposed to take on his case. "Mr Archie, right?" She inquired and he nodded to her hurriedly. This wasn't who he was expecting to see. She was a very lean figured woman who could pass off as a college student. He only trusted her judgment because Simon said so. He had come to trust Simon so well that nothing moved him anymore. "Is this what I think this is?" She inquired and he nodded. He was about to write a statement after putting it off for a while before she arrived. "I can't allow you to write a statement which you don't understand the gravity of. Who told this young man to go ahead with writing this statement? This will only cripple him further. I have to be here to see what my client is writing. Sorry not to introduce you. My name is barrister Ka
After Archie finished writing the statement successfully, he decided to take a walk even if it wasn't convenient for him. There was absolutely nothing he could do to change the fact that a lot of people saw him now as a wicked fellow who was probably a disgrace to his parents. Watching the news was disheartening, and after Bailey was able to contact him, knew that things wouldn't return to the same way they were in the beginning, her parents were going to frustrate everything they had going on for them because, they felt like he was a complete disaster to their child's life. He didn't think that they were wrong. It was only normal for people to react that way when they didn't understand certain situations.His only consolation was the fact that Bailey never bailed on him, she called him from time to time but without her mother's knowledge anyway. Her mother had threatened to throw her out of the house if she did and he had advised her not to push her mother to do that. As much as he
Archie adjusted his face cap diligently so that no one could catch a glimpse of his face. That would be too disastrous for his identity and would distort a lot of things, not only that, it would spark up rumors that alluded to the accusations which he wouldn't dare stir up. "I didn't do anything to Archie. I have no hand whatsoever in this case." Tommy repeated the same words Archie had uttered a few days ago. "Do you think we are here to play? I can make you disappear and your father would never see you again. The only thing he would be aware of is the fact that you have been missing. I believe that with everything you have done to him. He wouldn't think twice if that happened. You would even save him the stress of having to defend you all around social media despite knowing that you have some wicked streak in you." Simon threatened the young lad. Tommy was shaking at this point. He couldn't out himself because these people aren't going to let him go and he needed something agains
The fact that a lot of people could get away with crime fueled the way certain people acted, but immediately Archie's phone rang, he dropped everything that he was doing and decided to honor the police invitation. He wasn't a killer so there was absolutely nothing they could hold against him since he had not committed any crime. “Is that the cops?” His mother asked this time, she was at home to assist him with whatever information he needed and give him moral support. His ways of handling situations told her that she had birthed a son who was worthy of being defended. Marshall was recovering slowly but they hadn't still spoken because he felt like Archie was actually guilty. “Yeah, they just sent a message to tell me to be at the station in the next thirty minutes. I need to take a shower and call Simon and Kate so that they are aware of my movements. I don't trust those people not to do something sinister.” He answered wisely and his mother couldn't be more proud.Archie always fo
Archie arrived at the hospital after his interrogation process had been finalized. He was to be placed under house arrest so that they could still look into things. At least that was the excuse given but everyone knew that it was a lie. It was just to keep him from taking any drastic step while his name was smudged in the mud. Marshall's head shot up as soon as he had a footstep walking into his room. He never expected to see Archie especially after the way he had treated him. Even he knew that that was not the best way he could have handled that situation. "Archie..." He drew out in regret but Archie walked closer to his father's bed without any bias in mind and plopped on it. Sighing softly, Archie began, "I know how you must be feeling but it's all good. I am just so pleased that you are finally here, alive and well. That is the most important thing every other thing can follow right after." He said. Marshall was elated to have such a responsible child that did not decide to ta
Archie's movement was highly monitored by the government because they had heard that he was going to find a way to escape. Simon's call also came almost immediately after he read the news that Archie was labeled a prime suspect and that everyone needed to be wary of him. "I don't know how you plan on executing this but I need you to be far away from your father at a time like this. When we are done with the investigation we can come out and allow ourselves to be in the open, but for now, we still need something deeper."There was a decent amount of money saved in Archie's account so that he could do a lot of movements without necessarily having any problems. "Thank you, I will ensure that I am protected at all times. You said you were going to send some people to me right? I didn't see anyone and I was beginning to think that it was probably a lie." He spoke.Simon chuckled softly when he heard the words. He didn't take offense because he realized that the young man was only saying
River and Ryder were busy having the time of their lives as they continued watching the prosecuting videos. Archie was pretty decent but there was something wrong with the way he was speaking. He didn't possess the usual confidence that he did because now he knew that everyone was no longer behind him."I have never been this excited about anything in my life." River commented casually, watching as the girl in question kept on pointing at Archie as the culprit. She was a crying mess and they continued laughing. The judge was forced to tell her to take a break because of the insane amount of cries from her. This was basically simple but from the way she was crying they wouldn't be able to judge the case properly. "Miss Lawson, I need you to take a deep breath and remember everything that has happened. What exactly did he do to you? I know that there is video footage but I need you to recount everything that happened." Judge Lorna demanded, and the court fell into silence. She wasn't
