"You look like you had a rough night." Said Mr.Felps. Vincent rubbed his eyes and then slouched in his chair. " Who are you?" He asked.
"I'm your attorney,Luis Felps. Your wife hired me and she's very concerned."
Luis was extremely short compared to Vinny. His clean shave only made his dark curly hair all the more prominent. The dark brown suit he had on almost looked too big for him.
"What exactly happened? Why am I here?" Asked Vince.
"I was hoping you could tell me that."
"I was just walking out to my car and I was viciously attacked."
"Well, there's a video tape that suggests otherwise. The tape shows you knocking out Mr.Roberts unconscious."
Vinny sat up in his chair and gnashed his teeth. He never thought his life could take a change so suddenly.
"They didn't start recording until the middle of the fight. I never started that fight." He insisted.
Luis crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. There was a brief moment of silence and they both looked around while wondering if they could trust each other.
"Look Mr.Young. I normally don't check in with my clients on a Saturday afternoon. Quite frankly the fight is the least of our worries."
Vince straightened up in his chair and pinched the end of the table.
"What do you mean?" He asked
"You were accosted by Mr.Roberts because his son claimed you kept him after class and sexually molested him."
Vinny cringed then squeezed the arms of his chair as hard as he could.
"That's absurd! Nobody is going to believe a crazy story like that!"
The lawyer paid no attention to Vincent's theatrics. Instead he looked down at the papers lying in front of him.
"Oh it gets better, there are 3 other students who have corroborated the story."
"My students? Who are they?" He said trying his best to remain calm.
Luis leafed through the stack of papers.
"I don't have their names off hand but the next time we meet I will."
Vincent tried his best to settle himself down. He had just spent the night in jail and everything still felt so surreal.
"Okay, so what's the next step? Why hasn't my wife bailed me out of jail yet?"
Luis smiled wryly as if he'd just been asked a stupid question.
"That's why I'm here Mr.Young. I'm working on getting you bail but the fight you got into is causing enormous controversy. Believe me, I'm trying my best to mitigate the situation."
"Mitigate my situation?"
"That's right, they're afraid to let you out because they feel you're a danger to others."
Vincent's lawyer continued to babble about possible motions. All Vinny could do was sit there and think about Cindy. Gosh did he miss her. He couldn't wait to explain everything to her. This was all some sort of big mistake and he would find a way to handle all of this. He would handle this no matter what the cost.
