Louis POV.
The Arrest of Alberto Tosar. I waited for the news all day, even lunch at the office.
I've seen the trend of declining shares already from the morning, big players close to the broker have come out first to save his money while taking profits first. Those brokers of course believe me.
"Sir, the news you're waiting for is out." Tommy sent me the link, the news of his arrest has been released with a special life streaming breaking news.
This time he seemed to be limping walking, apparently my punch last night made trouble for him. I was satisfied to see him suffer for a moment. Maybe I did break his ribs with those kicks and punches. Fortunately I am still practicing so hard that I can repay him so much.
It still feels not comparable to the suffering of families who have been victims of Alberto. We endure a sense of annual loss, feeling guilty. Maybe he should also have experienced someone being taken away from him.
While the fall in his shares was evident after the news was released at noon, although he still had the energy to say everything that was said and alleged by the fake news, but the public had already taken action, the decline will be even sharper tomorrow after the publication in the national media of the details of the crimes committed.
For a few days seeing the news of Alberto's arrest, it felt like taking a break after a long trip. Brokers are grateful for the information they get from me. I got a little money thanks from them, accepted it felt bland, I don't know maybe because of the story behind it.
I'm trying to get back to the routine when the sieving takes place, because there's nothing I can do right now, Kimberly who is working with the prosecutor to make the demands. While Alan called me for advice on when he could make a big buy. I'm just saying up close to the final decision, now it's still not, because some lay shareholders may not know yet.
"If you want to buy, buy preferred at a special deal price, force them to sell the family shares, you can get a majority easier Sir Alan, replace the directors directly, it can gain confidence in other investors faster. Nathan will be glad the value of his investment quickly goes up.
"Ahh you're right, I did think forced to buy preferred, but it's also true how you, I will force them to release the family shares, will kick them from their own company, I will do for you, I will do it for you, take it easy I'll make them a minority." Alan knows my story, he I take it as a storytelling place sometimes. In this place I honestly found many friends and family.
"Thank you Sir." Sometimes I call him Sir rather than Alan to show my respect.
"This is your patience reply all along. You managed to hold yourself back from dirtying your hands for years. You're great."
"I don't know if it's great or not. I think half of it took me too long to finish this."
"How you've just found it now. You don't have to blame yourself anymore." Sir Alqn patted me on the shoulder, gave me something.
The following weeks of the trial became rapid. All incriminating witnesses were presented, not giving a loophole even for his lawyer to think how to defend him with so many incriminating witnesses giving testimony, and finally the house search found a fantastic amount of cash. Not to mention the testimony of several murder cases that were voluntarily disclosed by witnesses. Jurors no longer need to hear anything from lawyers who defend him, because it is useless.
"Come to the closing hearing before Louis's verdict." Kimberly called me this afternoon.
"Why should I come this hasn't been the last trial?"
"Just come, you'll know later, I'm asking you to come this once."
"Well, this is for you who've worked hard for this." I canceled the internal meeting to comply with Kimberly's request.
"Just wait for you there tomorrow." I don't know why Kimberly told me to come, I came and sat quietly next to her, we sat on the back bench, waiting for the hearing quietly.
At the end of the closing reading of his charges, the prosecutor began to speak.
"More than six years ago, IRS investigators began an investigation into the case. " I was stuck hearing the opening line. "Five years ago an IRS investigator named Chelsea Ashlee had to sacrifice her life being shot by an unidentified person who asked for her life after investigating the first company linked to the defendant but could not be proven, the statement said, this trial is for him, Chelsea Ashlee who died tragically to investigate the defendant's case..." And my eyes were heating up hearing Chelsea's name called. So this is what Kimberly's purpose in asking me to come, this trial is indeed for her.
"It's for Chelsea..." Kimberly smiled at me. She was crying, her tears just flowing beside me. I held her shoulder tightly. It felt like all the crying, our emotional decision over the years paid off.
"You found a way. He's got you defending him to the end. You always have a way."
Kimberly instead of encouraging me All the demands are read out, I listen to everything carefully.
May you calm down now, me and Kim finish this for you perfectly. Now go to your beautiful place. I'm sorry I took so long to take your time. You should come back don't let us hold you back. I'm sorry Chelsea... I'm sorry I kept you waiting too long.
My eyes kept hot during the reading of the demands, it felt like it was going to take one away.
Saying that to her in my heart somehow felt a relief. Maybe at the same time I forgive myself.
At the end of the charge, I knew he might not be able to live again to settle the number of years of sentence the prosecutor requested to pay.
"It just felt like this this time. Like my burden has been lifted." I looked towards Kimberly who could already smile.
"We let him go." Kimberly laughed.
"It turns out we're evil to keep him here. He should be in a beautiful place." Kimberly and I had the same thought.
We're out of the courthouse. I don't know why the sky looks brighter now. Maybe just my feelings. But it makes me feel warm.
"Are you going back to the office."
"Yes, I'm going to the office."
Suddenly I heard a gunshot, and a split second later, a pain whipped, making me fall instantly. When I felt it on my left chest, my hand was filled with blood.
"Louis!" I saw Kimberly screaming in fear for help, a screaming voice rang out all around me and I realized I had been shot in the left chest. Maybe it's time I left too.
"Maybe I'll meet Chelsea, Kim." I looked at him, I wouldn't refuse if I died right now. The panicked Kimberly was still shouting for help.
"Don't you dare die! Stay aware, who told you to die, Chelsea will kill me if you die!" I don't know why that panic order sounds funny now.
"I'm fine Kim. I think Chelsea would be happy to have me company." It's a nice death I think. No more regrets.
I looked up at the blue sky. It's nice to see the blue sky, besides my debt is done.
"Louis, look at me!" I still hear Chelsea yelling and patting me on the cheek loudly.
"Our master's going to the hospital now. Hang in." Miss press the wound. My body was taken by someone. His voice might be Tommy.
Look faded. I lost my blue sky. Maybe I can see Chelsea again after I wake up.
Possibly ....
