Axel Piggy and She'll Tell No Lies!!

Pretty day down here in Galveston County. A little chilly but we around all this water. I hate cops especially a dirty cop. But when _____ called me and told me his daughter needed my help I wasn't really messed up about it. Then when I found out that Courtney Coyle was his daughter, I admit it was interesting to me. I felt like she was a helluva cop. She held her own. She was also attractive and that was part of her problem. Because she was beautiful she got away with some things she shouldn't. It's cool though. I had something for Officer Piggy. Wait a minute. It was now Sgt. Piggy. She needed to be brought down a notch. Looking down at my briefcase. In it is her case file information and a loaded .9 millimeter. I didn't trust her. And I knew she didn't trust me. I probably would've took this case probono. I mean the publicity alone would be enough but _____ came right on out and wired two hundred large to me. I notcied it came from a Cayman Island bank. Hey who am I to judge though? I know when I told my assistant that I was taking her on as a client she had a lot to say about it. Trina always had plenty to say though. "Jay, be careful. They say Piggy is something else. I heard that she got the lead investigator for the FBI to completely call off her bust. My cousin works for the FBI, Jeremy. He was out there that day. Says he couldn't believe it." I was half listening because Trina thought she knew everything. "My cousin say she poison, Jay." I laughed at this. Yeah she may have her ways with men but Piggy was harmless to me. Still I knew to be careful. It was something about her eyes that vexed me. They were dark. Sultry but dark and I'd never seen another woman with eyes like that. I swear everybody here look so carefree. Its different here. Not like it is down in Houston. Everybody in a rush there. I hear they playing Marvin Gaye on 102.1 today. I was in a good place now. I had more work than I needed. I successfully planned my retirement. Both of my homes was paid for. I had paid cash for the last three cars I bought including the one I'm driving. I gave ten percent to my church. And I partied hard too. Right now life is good. Do I think Courtney Coyle is guilty of the things she's being charged with? Hell yeah, I do. She still deserved a damn good defense. I ain't gone lie though. I was curious to where she come from. That meeting with her father gave me some insight. I pulled into La Quinta. I pulled around where I knew her room was and she was standing outside. She was what I called Tomboy sexy today. Tee shirt and sweats couldn't hide this horse's figure. She had her lips stuck in a pout. I smiled anyway. She couldn't be no more than five feet one maybe two but she walked like she was six nine. Big bad Piggy huh? She walked up to my car. I got out. "Axel." I looked past her. Grabbed my briefcase off the seat and locked my car. She stood there arms folded across her chest. Here stood a spoiled brat who was used to having things her way. Well she needed me now. So it was gone be Daddy's way from here on out. "Unfold your arms, Courtney. We have serious things to discuss and we have no time for tantrums." She rolled her eyes and huffed. Now she slowly putting her arms down by her side. Good girl, Piggy. She bowed her head and for a split second I saw a vulnerable side to her. Quietly I hear her mumble something. "What  you say?" She looking at me now with those piercing eyes. Knocked me off bravado a lil bit. Trina may be right. This horse may be poisonous. "I said, you coming up?" I followed Courtney Coyle into I don't know what. She was being charged with captial murder. She had killed a federal law enforcement agent according to the state of Texas. Still tryna work my angle here. Before I did anything I needed all my clients to tell me the truth. No sense lying to me because at the end of the day I was bound by attorney-client confidentiality. She opened the door to her room and there was a combination of sweet smells. Half empty bottle of Hennessy on the table. One glass with red lipstick around the rim. She was a drinker. I sat in the wingback chair. She sat across from me. I just looked at her but when she stared at me back I would turn away. "Courtney, did you do this?" She bit her bottom lip and crossed those thick legs of hers. Leaned back. "Axel, what if I did?" "Tell me what happened Courtney." Her eyes softened and misted. She lowered her head. "Simple. I put faith in a man who didn't deserve it." That did something to me. God Bless the bastard who had broken this woman's heart. I needed to find a antedote to this poison and soon. "I'm listening, Courtney."
