Free 60 Minutes by Fire, Ice

thought about the time that her family was murdered, and how she felt after it. Her innocence was lost and she was pretty sure that the little girl’s would be too. She ignored the need to wait and headed out. “this will take no more than five minutes. Keep the car running.” She said as exited the car.  
    “Excuse me ma’am,” Jani’rah called out to Rosa.
    Rosa looked over to Jani’rah. “How may I help you? I’m in a hurry.” Rosa said as she tightened her grip on the little girl’s hand.
    Cutting to the chase, Jani’rah pulled out her gun and aimed it at Rosa’s head. Rosa’s eyes grew the size of two half-dollar coins.
    “Please, please don’t do this. I have nothing to give you; please don’t shoot.”
    Jani’rah shook her head. “I’m not here to kill you,” Jani’rah lied. “By the looks of it, you’re old ass has one foot in the grave already. Tell your brother to back the hell off or I’ll finish off the rest of his family.”
    Hearing that her brother had something to do with what was happening made Rosa realize who Jani’rah was. “I have nothing to do with that. My brother does as he pleases. You should’ve thought of that before you put my niece in harm’s way. Now if you don’t mind, I have places to go,” Rosa quickly grew some courage as she realized she stood in front of her niece’s murderer.
    Jani’rah looked over to the little girl then back at Rosa. “I see you a tough old bird. Too bad it had to end this way,” Jani’rah said as she let off a round in Rosa’s chest and picked the little girl up and hurried back to the car. The little girl kicked and screamed, but she was no match for Jani’rah. Jani’rah threw her in to the backseat and quickly got into the passenger’s seat. “Go Hanz; get me out of here quick.” Jani’rah hadn’t intended on taking the little girl, but her conscience wouldn’t allow her to leave her there alone. Hopefully, she could be used as bait and Samuel would call off the bounty for the safe return of the little girl.

What’s Done In The Dark, Always Comes To Light 
    Back in Daniel’s office, as second in command, Ronnie was given the task of clearing out the office after the District Attorney’s untimely death. He looked around the office and admired all of the plaques that Daniel had hanging on his wall. “I can’t believe you’re gone D.” Ronnie said as he looked at a picture of him and Daniel that hung on the wall. It was from a skiing trip in Canada. Ronnie wasn’t just a part of Daniel’s legal team, but in the time that they worked together, they had actually become good friends.
    Ready to get the task over with, Ronnie walked over to Daniel’s desk to pack up his belongings. When he opened the first drawer, there was nothing but files of cases that had already been prosecuted. Ronnie smiled as he thought back on all of the cases that they had won together. After placing the files in the box, Ronnie noticed a picture in the corner of the drawer. When he picked it up, confusion took over him. As he looked at the picture of Jani’rah and Daniel as teenagers, he wondered why Daniel had left out the fact that they had known each other. The picture also put two and two together for Ronnie as to why Daniel had taken a bullet for Jani’rah. Their relationship added fuel to Ronnie’s hate for Jani’rah. If she hadn’t been doing what she’d been doing, his long-time friend would still be alive.
    Ronnie continued looking through the files of the case, trying to find a way to take Jani’rah into police custody; but with the other missing files, he had nothing to go on but the statements of the dead witnesses. He crumbled up the picture and made an attempt to throw it in the trashcan that sat on the other side of the room. When he got up to go pick up the picture to put it in the trashcan, he saw a broken videotape at the top of the can. The tape had Jani’rah’s case number written across it, but the tape itself
