I realized that each post should cover more than just simply two chapters, but after reading these two today, a post was a necessity. A brief over view of what has happened from the previous post to chapter 13:
The prosecutor, Maggie McFierce, was dropped from the case, and was replaced by Ted Milton, a young and inexperienced lawyer with criminal cases. After discovering that Reggie, the victim, was a young actress in need of money now currently selling herself, Mickey and the detective on the case dig deeper. They discover that their client, Roulet, was actually lying to them and he had gone to the apartment to pay for Reggie. After confronting him, Mickey warns Louis not to mess with him again, and the slate becomes clean. The detective also discovered a video from the bar where the client and victim met, and with the new evidence, Mickey believes he can send Louis walking.
Now, Mickey is meeting with the prosecutor to go over what each side of the bar has. Mickey is suspicious when Milton is overly friendly in showing him some of what he has on Louis. Following courtesy, Mickey hands over the DVD, giving away his biggest weapon in the case. Unable to convince Milton not to drop the case, Mickey becomes frustrated and loses his focus. As he walks away from the meeting he is shaken and confused. He soon realizes that he had been set up and had been embarrassed in the meeting with Milton and worse, he had tipped him early in the hole card. Now Mickey is going to have to either settle for prison time for Louis or he is going to face a case with almost no chance of winning.
