that Cowboy had killed at least two of the three men in the house. At some point during the closing arguments, the jury looked like they had been persuaded by the D.A. and what he had presented, but then Casteno took the floor.
    Casteno went off. He presented nothing but the facts that were established during the trial. One being the fact that Cowboy did kill two of the three men in the house, but the reason why he did it was in self-defense. Casteno used the testimony of Charrise who said that Cowboy found her from the address that the kidnappers gave him. He told the jury that once Cowboy got to the location where Charrise was at, he was fired upon first. He said that Cowboy returned fire only in self-defense. Casteno not only made it look like self-defense, but he also made Cowboy looked like a scared father trying to save his daughter.
    By the end of the day, Cowboy looked like a hero instead of a murderer. It was getting late in the day, so the judge gave the jury the rest of the day off and postponed deliberations until Monday. That was crazy because everyone in the courtroom was hoping to get a quick verdict. Now, they would have to wait until after the weekend.

    Jonathan and A.J. sat in the black Chevy Caprice with tinted windows waiting on the white Aston Martin to pull out of the Arlington Condominiums parking lot. Kevin was in a stolen burgundy Plymouth, already waiting inside the same parking lot, while Kasy had taken over the tollbooth at the entrance/exit point. Everyone was in position, locked, loaded, and ready to go.
    “Look alive, y’all.” Jonathan spoke through the walkie-talkie. “She should be coming out any second,” he said, looking down at his watch.
    Like clockwork, three black females got off the elevator and walked out onto the second level. Kevin could see that at least one of the women was armed as she rested her hand on the butt of her gun while looking around the badly lit parking lot. The other two women stood by the elevator door, while the one female scoured the parking lot for any danger.
    Kevin sank as low as he possibly could in the driver seat, damn near to the point where he was on the floor. The armed female walked right past the car and didn’t notice Kevin inside. Moments later, the same women walked back over to the elevator where she had a brief conversation with the other two females. For a minute, Kevin thought that he had been spotted. He sat back up in his seat and took the safety off both of his handguns.
    “Alright girl, I will see you in a few hours,” the main female said as she walked over to the Aston Martin.
    One of the other females got into the car while the armed female stood and waited for the elevator. As the Aston Martin pulled out of its spot, Kevin started the engine to his car and then crept out of the parking space. He followed behind the car at an unnoticeable speed, watching as she pulled up to the tollbooth.
    As soon as the car same to a stop, Kasy pulled the mask down over his face. The driver of the Aston Martin didn’t even notice the masked man until she looked up from getting her parking pass out of the bag.
    “Oh shit!” she yelled, seeing the ski masked bandit.
    She threw the car in reverse, but slammed right into Kevin, who pushed her car forward. The driver reached into her bag, wrapped her hand around a 9mm Taurus, and then fired into the booth at Kasy.
    Bullets crashed through the Aston Martin window and went right into the booth. Kasy got low to the ground and then kicked open the back door of the booth and began firing back at the car.
    The loud roar from the .50 Cal rang out through the parking lot. Both females rolled out of the car, one shooting at Kasy while the other shot at Kevin.
    It was an all-out shootout nearly at close range. Jonathan and A.J. pulled out of their parking spots and spun into the entrance of the parking garage. The female driver turned around and threw a few shots at the black Caprice, hitting
