page describes his personality and career.

 

 

New York City... The home of many lights, many tales, and many crimes. Michael Cutter, also called Mike, the Assistant District Attorney who joined Jack McCoy's team after his elder got promoted as Acting District Attorney. He's been in the office and he's seen his fair share of criminals. He's won many cases, some with a clean slate and others with a not-so-clean slate.

 

Mike just smiled. It didn't matter if some were won crookedly on his part, so long as the criminals were put in jail. Now he was following the case of a gang leader within New York. Hopefully this gang will get said and done with soon. All they needed was their leader, and the rest should hopefully scatter. Little did he know this gang leader was going to change everything Fred knew about keeping order when he got apprehended.

((BECAUSE I AM A DERP! QAQ))

 

New York... It was a city alright: a city of suckers. At least that it was to an infamous gang leader Cedric Ashin. Or as others called him in the gang, the big A. He was almost born into that gang; it was like he was just naturally a killer and a leader. Someone to be feared in the city. His slate was always dirty when it came to the law, but as far as other gangs were concerned: his slate was clean as a whistle.

 

But unbenoucned to him, the law was coming down on him, and it was coming fast and hard. He had been cocky and let his guard slip up, and right there was the law to apprehend him. But there would be one man to change his entire look on laws for the rest of his life.

[vadess40]

Michael Cutter read over the evidence of the gang leader's hideout. A quick strike from the police squat team would easily bring him into custody. He turns to detectives Cyprus Lupo and Kevin Bernard.

 

"I'll get us a search warrant for the place, no problem. You guys just make sure the squat team is there."

 

============================================

A day later the squat team bursts into thte hide out, seach warrant in hand, and scouts the darkened premisis. Lupo speaks, "Remember, stay stealthy... try not to shoot to kill. We need Ashin brought in for questioning, as well as apprehended."

 

Bernard and the others nod as they head into the building quietly.

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric came bursting in with an air of pride and it was well deserved. He had just managed to make himself buddy-buddy with the leader of the rival gang; only to shoot him in the back and take both for himself. The others had cheered and brought out the strongest of all the brews to drink. But little to them, the law was coming down hard and fast.

[vadess40]

The detectives burst into the room Cedric. Bernard shouted, "Freeze! Police! We have a warrant for your arrest for murder, theft, and extortion! Put your hands in the air!"

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply put his hands up in defeat. He knew when the law had bested him. But he also knew that he would be out in a matter of days. "Okay, okay. I'll go along again."

[vadess40]

The detectives dragged Cedric, and his other accomplices to the jail in New York ((dunno the name of it)). There the prison guards processed the man. In the process of it, both Michael and Cedric's lawyer arrived.

 

Michael was the first to observe the prisoner from outside of an interrogation room. He noticed him up and now. Now there's a handsome fella, he thought to himself, I can see why so many women got into him. Michael waited a few more minutes, and Cedric's lawyer arrived. Michael observed the prisoner more closely as he entered the room; Michael sat across from Cedric and his lawyer at a bland table.

 

"So Mr. Ashin... Your lawyer called pretty quickly. All I can say is the plea best be a good one to drag me here at almost midnight."

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply looked up at the guards and smirked with such smugness that he couldn't even believe he did. But the fact that he did just meant he was confident about his eventual release years earlier than the sentence indicated.

 

Cedric did however, feel eyes staring at him from the outside. So he looked to the mirror-like glass and smirked, sticking his tongue out. Hmph. That should get the creepers staring at me something to do later on tonight. Cedric watched as his lawyer walked into the room and he smiled.

 

"Well... Yeah, we're gonna plead guilty. No sense in saying innocent. They prolly had a snitch or somehtin. Know what I'm sayin?"

[vadess40]

Cedric's lawyer spoke, "Cedric, let me do the talking!"

 

Michael smirked as the lawyer talked to him about reducing the charges so Cedric could get a lesser sentence. The assistant district attorney couldn't help but let out a chuckle. For a handsome gang leader who managed to avoid the law so far, he certainly hired a not too bright lawyer. Michael interrupted the lawyer, "Are you unaware that your client has been charged with 10 counts of drug possession, 3 counts of fraud, 5 counts of first degree murder, as well as 2 counts of drug trafficking? Not to mention his past criminal record? Do you honestly think I'm going to shrink all that into a man slaughter 1 charge with 15 years in prison? I'm willing to reduce it to murder 2 with 20 to life- nothing beyond that."

 

((good to see replies from you))

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply scoffed at the lawyer. He couldn't handle anyone telling him what to do. That and someone would bail him out soon enough. He knew that for fact as well. He knew it would happen no matter what. They wouldn't be able to funtion without him at all. But then he smirked when the other listed all the charges and muttered under his breath "Clearly not all of you are smart." And his past record was infallible. No one could even list all the charges on that record. "Hmm... We'll take it!"

[vadess40]

Michael Cutter looked at Cedric with a smile. He spoke, "I remember the last time they arrested you, and how fast you got out on bail. And then where did you go? Back to your old crimes. Your charm, handsomeness, and crooked cash won't save ya this time. And as soon as you go through with this deal there will be no getting out for you. Can't say I'm that upset."

 

Cedric's lawyer looked at the assistant district attorney, "You talk to me directly, not to him. Remember that Mr. Cutter?"

 

Michael smiled at the lawyer, "A man who I doubt cares if you're his mother, brother, lawyer, or the President of our nation. I figured talking to him directly might be the only way his attention will be earned."

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply smirked back and Michael and agreed with him. Almost as if they were old friends. "Oh yeah! I got out on bail after about a day or two. And I only went back to serving justice on the streets in my own way. So sue me. Hmm? Really now? My pops has been making legit money now for a few years and he'll bail his son out. I know he will. So there's always a way out for scum like me. Ain't there? And I know you are Micheal. Just admit it.~" Cedric smirked and then looked to his attorney. "Oh shut up. He and I go waaaaaaaaay back." Cedric slapped the attorney and looked back to Micheal. "So, what's it up to now?"

[vadess40]

Michael shook his head, "There is no way out, Cedric! There is no way a judge will grant you bail now. In fact, I doubt there is one judge in the country who'll have any doubts where you belong. So perhaps you should stop being an ass, and actually weigh-in your options with your attorney."

 

Cedric's lawyer shook his head, "We aint taking a deal."

 

Cutter turned on his heel and exited. He said just before he left the door, "Then I'll see you in court."

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply shook his head at Michael. "That's where you're wrong. There's nothing that I can't solve. And when you're raised like I was it just comes naturally." Cedric shook his head again and the smirk faded. "Alright. I'll see you later anyway.~" Cedric seemed to smirk at the last remark he made and he winked at Michael. Perhaps a conflict of interest would be the best way to go...

[vadess40]

The next day Michael brought the accused before the court. The judge spoke, "How does your client plead?"

 

Cedric's lawyer said, "Not guilty, your honor."

 

The judge looked at Michael, "How do you want to set bail?"

 

Michael replied, "No bail your honor. He's been indited before and is a threat to public life. Furthermore, we risk flight."

 

His lawyer replied, "Your honor, my client has been indited but not once convicted. The DA has no grounds for reprimanding him without bail. Furthermore, my client has the means to be bailed out and I will ensure he appears in court when he's called."

 

Michael replied, "Your honor, the defendant has skipped on trial dates and even sentencing hearings. He will not come to court."

 

The judge looked between the two men and then looked directly at the lawyer, "Then I suggest the bailer brings out the cheque book. Bail set at $3 million, next!"

 

Michael sighed at the turn out. Maybe it'll be enough to keep him behind bars he thought as he went about his work day with other cases. Just as he left, Jack McCoy told him Cedric was out on bail. Cutter sighed and left the building, Well, won't be seeing Cedric again. Idiot judge!

 

Michael stood outside for a bit and took deeps breaths. It's not easy being a district attorney, as there are a few days when the justice system fails the people he's trying to seek justice for. He just hopes the judge's poor decision spell the end for another innocent victim tonight.

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply sat there and nodded his head every now and then. Even though he led a gang; he still knew some of the laws. But his knowing was little, and what he did know he didn't really use. He'd rather get out on bail anyways. It made his life easy anyway. But he smirked as he heard the news of being out on bail and rushed outside. But he then saw Cutter and smirked to himself. "Hey Mike! Why don't we celebrate before I get put in the big house?" His voice was chipper and his stance was casual.

[vadess40]

Michael Cutter turned and looked Cedric up and down. He was shocked the young man had the gall do approach him, never mind act like they were the best of friends. He must admit to himself that the boldness of the defendant impressed him. He also noticed that for a gang leader, Cedric was a bit of a handsome fellow. Michael never noticed before as he never been this close to a defendant before. Usually there was always some kind of table or court room between them. He smirked at Cedric and was almost about to make a bit of a sarcastic remark at the invitation, before he stopped himself as he remembered his job and how even smiling at the defendant could put his whole case in jeopardy.

 

"You're the defendant in a criminal investigation," he eventually replied to Cedric, "we don't have conversations. I suggest you just head on home and not see me unless your lawyer is also present."

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply frowned and then smirked again. There had to be a way to break that man of his hold on the case. Putting it all away for one convict. It would happen by Cedric's hands; one way or another he would snare Cutter into a trap woven so cleverly of lies. But he then looked Cutter over more and thought that he looked rather handsome. He then shook his head lightly and looked to Michael. He put on his best face and traipsed a finger lightly across Michael's chest. "Come now, I'll show you time you won't ever forget."

[vadess40]

Michael backed away and shook his head, "I'm sorry but we are not friends. You are a defendant in a case. I"ll see you when the first court date is scheduled. Good night, Cedric."

 

Michael then turned and tried to head home.

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply looked at Michael and smirked to himself. It was a game, and he was losing fast. "But we have known each other a long time. Besides, what's one little dinner gonna hurt?" He quickly caught up to the prosecutor and traipsed his fingers a little more heavily across Michael's chest. "Come on. You know you wanna.~"

[vadess40]

Michael backed away from Cedric and simply kept walking. He then stopped and thought to himself. Do I really just want to go home to an empty house filled with... Nothing, basically? I must admit it got lonely with the wife gone.

 

He slowly turned around and said, "I'll go on three conditions. 1) It's in a reasonably public place. 2) We're alone. No thugs on your part, and no law enforcement on mine. 3) We DON'T talk about anything to do with the case. Oh... and you keep your hands off me."

 

 

He said all this in a shaky voice as he wasn't quite sure what the hell he was doing. Nevertheless, he said it and waited patiently for Cedric's reply. He worked hard to show no emotion, feeling on his face. Last thing he needed was for Cedric to him crack any further.

[Akira_Skye]

Cedric simply frowned as Michael backed up and continued to walk away. He then began to think on it more and more. He really was a criminal. Would there be any hope for him to denounce the criminal way for a way of truth?

 

Cedric then saw Michael beginning to walk back and he smirked. "I knew it. Always conditions. I'll only take the three. I can't guarantee the fourth one Michael." Cedric simply smirked and looked at the man before him once more. The more he looked, the more attracted to Michael Cedric became.

[vadess40]

"Mike," Mike said in reply, "In more casual settings my name is Mike. Now, do you have a way of getting anywhere? I do a nice restaurant in New Jersey. It's a bit out of the city, so a way from most people who would recognize you or me."

[Akira_Skye]

"Okay Mike." Cedric smiled and then looked at him dumfoundedly. "Of course I have a way to get there!" He then looked to Michael and smirked. "See you soon Mike.~" His voice sang out and he skipped off happily.

[vadess40]

About an hour later, Michael was pacing in front of the restaurant. He had no clue why he was even all the way out there. Nevermind, why he thought to shout out the name of the restaurant before Cedric ran away. He figured a good family restaurant was a nice, innocent place to go in New Jersey.

 

He headed to his car, muttering, "This is dumb... even if he does show up, I'm just putting my career in jeopardy."

 

He then stops and looks back at the entrance. He sighs, "Then again," he continues his deliberations, "I do have just an empty house as the alternative."

 

He leans against his car and just waits patiently. "If I don't think about it, everything will be fine."
