We join our intrepid Devlin, Back in Chicago, making the most of a little time off, JFK's Defence had been emphatic, The House of Howlett was destroying its self from the inside out, and to be honest? Alex's laughter was just as infectious as Kate's.
And so it was Devlin spent time with is Son, away rom the noise and bluster ,away form the betrayals and annoyance, away from the politics and the conflict, looking into those steely grey eyes of his son, he remembered just what future he was fighting for.
Then Came her voice from inside.
"Devlin, you might wanna come see this!"
Devlin Picked up Alex, carrying the little dude with him, to Find Kate watching Danger Zone and the opening moments as well as the apology about the cut feed on the screen a raise of his brow as helooks down to Kate.
"I don't see how this is my..."
The phone rang and Devlin sighed a bit moving towards the receiver even as he passes Alexander over to his Wife, the thought creeping in even as he picked up the phone and breathed in.
"Devlin Raine."
What followed was a good 20 minutes defending himself because he wasn’t there, eventually joining Kate with a long slow, frustrated sigh as he growls and sits down.
"Lemme guess, They think you did it?"
He nodded and sighed.
“Yep, I let ‘m run through their questions and defended myself and they’re fairly convinced it’s not me but you know how it is.”
Kate took a moment to look at examine Devlin and she cocked her head and smiled.
“So You’re going back …right?”
Devlin gave a long slow grin.
“You know me so well.”
There is no graphical glitch, no interruption of the feed, on instead we’re treated to a court room and well yes the “Dtv” logo in the bottom right.
Devlin stands in the ‘dock’ as it were rubbing just below his nose as The judge… Another Devlin comes wandering on in, taking his seat , big old wig black robes, glaring at Devlin and banging the gavel to make “Defendant Devlin” Jump as he shouts.
“ORDER ORDER! I DEMAND ORDER!... Defendant you ha stand accused of interrupting IWF Video feeds during a Pay per view event and spreading a lack of morale into the Invictus Champion causing him failure against one Robert Pooler, how do you plead?”
There’s a pause and Defendant Devlin rubs his nose, sighs as he hangs his head and speaks firmly.
“Not guilty your honor.”
The ‘judge’ shakes his head and scolds at Devlin, leaning forwards even as the gavel is tapped impatiently whilst he speaks.
“A likley story young man, it is well known your tomfoolery is widespread and a danger to the fair profession , What be your evidence? And I’ll brook no Shenanigans! YOU HEAR ME?! NO SHENANIGANS!”
Devlin recoils form the shouting before the door is kicked open, and there stands Devlin..again, dressed in head to foot in a blue suit, with a red tie, a smile like shark and a pointing finger to the Judge.
“OBJECTION!”
Silence fills the hall, everyone is confused, well The judge and Devlin certainly is, I mean who expects three of yourself to turn up in one place?
Then Devlin Wright , Bunny ears lawyer and all around bad ass launches into his blitzkrieg offensive.
“Your honour, I find our supposition of a lack of shenanigans both disturbing and against the record of my defendant, also how could my Client, have performed an action so heinous, when he was not actually at the location required? Despite what Chris Fenell asserts your honour, my Client is not only innocent… but he’s attractive, funny, charismatic and let’s face it your honour There is a little of Devlin Raine in everyone present right now.”
All three of them Deadpan the camera in synchronized timing. Before The Judge leans back and sighs.
“In all my years of judging, I have never heard before, something less deserving of the Penalty of law, The way Chris threat your person , your deserving wife, a mother fills me with the Urge to defecate! “
Cue the Lawyer Devlin lifting a hand and interjecting again.
“Did you just Quote Pink Flloyd? Defense moves to strike this entire conversation from the record, we’re getting far too silly. My Client has to cut a promo, and we’re still withstanding the fact that KIWA representative Chris Fenell appears to have decided to try this case via ..”
A dramatic pause as the lighting darkens. And Lawyer Devlin is left alone in a shaft of light Voice getting echoed even as it seems that the court room setting has faded entirely.
“TRIAL BY COMBAT!”
Devlin grins at the camera the close on his face revealing he is fact dressed in his normal get up after the camera pulls back and the schizophrenic nature of the previous events seems to come to a close as Devlin claps his hands.
“That’s right Chris, you and me, mano a Mano last time I was In a ring in or around your sort it didn’t go so well for me, but I bounced back and ended up with a trophy you never got a glimpse of, then I challenged your friend , yoru boss James to a match for the Invictus, which Admittedly I lost because well, I’ll say it He brought the fight that day a little harder than I was willing to take, did I commiserate? No Did I kick my toys out the prom? No Did I cut the feed to his Match at Danger Zone so nobody could see how that match started?”
Devlin shakes his head and chuckles
“Lemme tell you Chris if I’d have done that I would have left neon flashing lights all over it so you knew it was me, I’m not the shy and retiring cut the lights type.. I’m more cut enough lights to spell my Name out in Bright Neon Pink type also It really doen;t serve e –any- purpose to screw on JFK, he’s a man of the people so he says and as much as he can an obnoxious asshat? He backs his talk up and I respect that.”
He sighs and chuckles before looking about.
“But no, here I am being called no only a thief but a coward by the self-appointed justice maker Chris, who sees fit to stroll on out and call me out, expecting that as a guilty man I would turn my tail and run..”
Devlin shakes his head and smirks all the deep as he rubs his hands together.
“Wrong move, because I’m not a guilty man, and I will fight you wherever and whenever and whoever You want me to –Chris- I don’t care ho w good, strong or smart you think you are, because I know at my best I am stronger, faster smarter hell I’m –better- than anyone in this roster if I apply my mind to it, if I feel motivated enough I can do –anything- I put my mind to and you will not tell me I’m ‘ducking’ anyone you will not tell me what I did and didn’t do boy, I will stand across from you and I will –beat- some sense into you if I have to, you see this I isn’t playful happy Devlin you’ve gotten this Devlin Raine with something to –prove- and That Chris …is a very dangerous thing.”
Devlin paces a little more as he laughs just a touch.
“But I know your kind, all these assumptions swimming in your head, best of intentions, worst of ideas, trust me I’ve walked your road man, I know where it ends and as they say on any given night anything can happen, But I don’t intend to lose to you Chris, I respected that Belt and that man enough to leave well enough the hell alone If JFK Lost? There’s only one person to blame it on, and he looks at himself In the mirror every day and has to Live with the fact and move on.”
He huffed a breath
“So Bring It Chris, I’m not going to defend myself with words any more I’ll defend myself the only other way that makes sense to you, the way you wanted, I’m not going to made an example of for something I didn’t do, your Fate is sealed, your Destiny Dealt, come Sacrifice? Your ass belongs to me and I will not let go until We’re done, see you then.”
Devlin shrugs the leather jacket off and starts to pull on a Card dealer’s uniform, moving towards a door with a star on it, stepping into a graphical glitch that lays just beyond the door and closing the door behind him as everything shuts to black.
