"I hate this place. I'm sure the guy's a total creep. Why are we even bothering with this? I thought you said I don't have to do anything with anybody?" "I won't argue. I'm not fond of government buildings either and a courthouse comes pretty close to being my least favorite. Anybody who actually *wants* to become district attorney almost has to be a creep first. I meant it when I said you could turn down any potential client. You can also stop seeing anybody at any time. Letting some guy have you once doesn't create a future commitment." "So why bother?" "Because if you keep doing this long enough you're going to cycle through the system. If you're really careful and really lucky you might make your stake and be doing something else before it becomes a problem. Until then, having contacts inside the system is your safety net. The DA decides which cases get prosecuted and how aggressively. Worst case, if you fuck up so publicly that he can't make it go away, he can still route you through the juvenile system instead of trying you as an adult. He'll also be a lot more concerned about protecting your client list if his name is on it." "I'm supposed to be keeping a list?" "Most working girls do, at least those at the high end. In your case it would be a bad idea. It's a lot easier to pass it off as a one time mistake if you don't have an appointment calendar that's booked up for six months in advance. Eventually you'll have to do something but by then you'll be learning about the joys of codes and data encryption." "More home school, huh?" After stopping for a moment to consult a building directory Amber continued. "I know some of the stuff you're teaching me isn't what I'd learn in a public school. The rest of it isn't the way I remember. I used to feel stupid some times when I didn't know the answer and it seemed like everyone else did. Now I'm starting to feel like you're making me look for answers where other kids wouldn't get the question." "Welcome to the club. Technically, I guess you're being abused. I'd like to think you're being treated as an adult. It says a lot about the society we live in that there isn't a bigger difference between the two. In fact, the only real difference between Bill and the creeps before him is that you don't *have* to do anything. I'll back you no matter what choice you make. That holds for any other pervert you're dealing with. Please don't get the idea that because I'm showing you how to make this work, it's the only work you can do. It's your call. Should I make the pitch, or should we go home and try to figure out some other way for you to make your start up money?" "Make the pitch I guess. What did Bill say?" "He couldn't help us on this one. There's a couple of rumors, nothing solid. The best evidence he might be interested is stuff that *didn't* happen." "Like what?" "A couple of cases getting held for lack of evidence that were a lot more solid than others that got prosecuted. A few people who should have been looking at decades behind bars got shunted onto a, "treatment track", and straight probation instead." "Treatment track?" "That's where you pay some court approved shrink a couple thousand a month to help you, 'resolve your issues', instead of having Bubba in cell block C ram eight inches of dark meat up your ass whenever he's feeling frisky." "Oh." "The most interesting thing Bill found out is the head of the agency that placed you is a close friend of this DA. Add that to the places you've been and you not being the only girl who had problems and the situation starts to smell funny." "Yeah, sort of like a dick that should get washed a little more often. OK, let's give it a try. The worst that can happen is he plays dumb and sends us away." They stopped at the receptionist to confirm their appointment and were ushered almost immediately into the DA's office. The plaque on his desk read, "Bernard MacDonald", but all the advertizing for his last election tagged him, "Bernie Mac", and the first thing out of his mouth was an invitation to call him Bernie. "So, Mrs. Miller, what exactly can I do for you? I hope it's nothing like the other issues that brought Amber to our attention." "If you're Bernie and she's Amber, I'm Mary and this will be a lot easier to discuss if we keep it informal and mostly off the record. Amber seems to be doing quite well with Bill and I despite her rather rocky past. Because her experiences have diverged so widely from other girls her age we've decided to pursue a home school curriculum. It seemed to make more sense to help her mature in the areas where she is still a child than to force her to conceal knowledge no child should have. In some ways any group of children near her age can't really be considered her peers. "I guess you could say it's those, "other issues", that have brought us here. In the process of learning about government and the legal system there is a wide disconnect between civics class and her personal experience. I would prefer that she resolve such discrepancies by learning from people who operate in that area how things work in the real world." "I'll certainly try to help. Keep in mind that commitments and responsibilities of my job already make large demands on my time. Also, details of any current investigation aren't revealed even to other people in this office that don't have a direct need to know. In fact, many of the closed cases have been sealed by the court involved. The details are still available to aid in future investigations but are no longer a matter of public record." Amber jumped on that. "My civics book says everything the courts do is public. It makes a big thing about how countries where the courts work in secret are really bad places to live." "Uh, well, as a general policy that may be right but it really isn't, 'one size fits all'. Often things work better for all concerned if certain exceptions are made. Take your own history. This office has investigated several cases, starting either from your own complaints or following up leads from other cases. Some of it would have been sufficient to press charges. If there were no other cases open we would have gone that route. In the real world though, more cases are cleared through a plea than through trial. Because we never had to actually call you into court and ask you to testify, you didn't have to get up and give the world details of some of your life's worst moments. Would you really want the things you've told us during investigations to become public record?" "Maybe, if it would help lock them up. I mean, I already reported it, right? One of the last things mom taught me was that if you aren't willing to tell everybody, don't tell *anybody*. Because anything anybody knows, everybody can find out." "Your birth mother had some issues but she wasn't a fool. What you told us allowed this office to negotiate a heavier sentence on more than one plea bargain. Not bringing the information into open court allowed us to keep other suspects from learning the full scope of our investigations. There are people who have messed up bad enough they should be in jail, but not often enough or publicly enough to give us the evidence we need to get a conviction. If they discovered how much we already know they might make a bigger effort to cover their tracks." "So they get away with fucking me. And they keep on getting away with fucking other kids. Until you can convince them you have enough proof to scare them into signing up for a jail term?" Bernie's face got red and he looked like he was getting ready to explode. "Mary? Could you pick me up later? There's some things I need to find out that really aren't anyone else's business. I'll call you, or if it's too much trouble I can take the bus." By the time the door closed behind her the D.A. Had himself back under control. He was aware he'd revealed more than he intended. He needed to do some damage control. He had no idea the girl in front of him was smart enough to use that as an opening. Amber wasn't trained as an investigator but had been on the receiving end often enough to pick up a few tricks. "Bernie, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to get you angry or embarrassed. I'm glad you went after some of those guys and really glad to hear you didn't just forget about the others. It would be silly for me to get mad that you couldn't do more. Especially since..." "Since what?" "I shouldn't tell you. I won't if you're going to make it part of my file. Unless maybe you could keep it separate? Like special notes you don't share with anyone that doesn't need to know?" "Young lady, if there is anything you know that may contribute to an ongoing investigation you need to tell me. I have some discretion regarding how and to whom the information is made available. Everybody does *not* have to learn everything." "Ok, but... jeez, this is embarrassing. The only reason I'm even telling you is that it won't work so good if you don't know, and ask me to get up in court. The guys? The ones that did stuff to me? Everybody acts like I'm supposed to hate them and want them locked up for like, forever. Only, It's not like that. It was really creepy. Some of it hurt. A couple times I told, so the cops would make them stop, but I never really wanted to send anyone to prison. You're going to think I'm horrible but after I got used to it, actually doing stuff with some pervo wasn't as creepy and embarrassing as talking to a cop about it. The cops didn't just want all the details about what the guys did, they would keep asking me why I didn't do more to stop it. Like somehow what happened was partly my fault. I wonder what they would say if they found out they were right." "What?!" "Don't act so surprised. We both know this kind of thing happens a lot more often than nice people would admit. The guys I told about weren't the only ones that did stuff to me. I'm not the only girl they did stuff to. You just told me there are guys you know about that you can't put in jail. There has to be guys out there you *don't* know about. The only way it can be like that is if most of the girls, most of the time, don't tell. "Ok, maybe some of the girls are scared. I was. Some of them would rather do stuff in private than tell the whole world what's going on to make it stop. I know about that too. There was this other thing though... when I wasn't doing it. Any time there was some guy around I had to think about it. I *had* to. I couldn't help it. I mean, after some guy had me once, I knew it was going to happen again and again until something stopped it. So, any time one of them was around I couldn't help wondering if that's why he was there or how soon he'd do it again. With a stranger or new guy I'd be wondering if he was the next one. After a while I was thinking about it almost constantly even when nobody was doing anything to me. It wasn't nice. It sure wasn't anywhere close to what most people would call normal, but it was a big part of my life. After a while I kind of got used to it. Now that I don't have to do that anymore, well sometimes I sort of miss it. Weird, huh?" "Not as weird as you think. It's called, 'abuse accommodation syndrome'. Child Services should have set you up with a counselor." "They did but after a while I got the feeling he was more interested in having me repeat all the kinky details than helping me. Whatever. If I need to talk to somebody I'll ask. That isn't what I came here for. I want to look at the case files and see what happened to the guys that did stuff to me." "Out of the question!" "Why?" "As I said, these aren't public files. They include information about current suspects and ongoing investigations. Sometimes a person can look very suspicious without actually doing anything wrong. It wouldn't be right to destroy somebodies reputation without being able to prove they committed a crime. The descriptions of events and activities are enough to make cops ill. They're certainly not fit reading for a young girl." "Bernie, I'm not asking for access to any other files, just the ones concerning what happened to me. I was there, remember? Right in the middle of it. The one they were doing it to. How can a written description be worse than having it happen? Unless there's something else in there, something you're not telling me about." He started blushing again unable to look her in the eye. "Uh, I was hoping I wouldn't have to mention this. Along with depositions and interview transcripts are the investigator notes. Often irrelevant observations, idle speculation, half formed theories that were later discarded, leads that turned out to be dry holes, all sorts of things that would not be brought into the courtroom if the case goes forward. We're not required to turn that information over to defense counsel unless and until it becomes part of the formal court case. The people who wrote those notes while investigating the crime would be appalled at the idea of the victim reading them." "Oh...Kay, now I get it. You're not worried I'll throw up reading about things I already lived through. You're worried I'll flip out over the stupid things some cop put in the notes he made. No, it's worse than that. You're in charge here. Nobody is going to make notes that would get you mad at them. Some of the notes are probably yours. You're scared that I'll see the notes you made, or let others make, and I'll think you're a creep! Honest, you don't have to worry about that." "Sure... Right... The sophisticated and intelligent twelve year old girl is going to rise above her personal perspective and look tolerantly at the big picture." "Don't be nasty. What I meant was that I already think you're a creep. Mary told me that coming in here and beating you over the head with it wasn't going to help. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that you can help me find out the things I want to know. I might be able to help you in return. If I can see everything you have I might be able to fill in some gaps. There are things I didn't waste time telling you because I thought you already knew. We don't have to like each other, just be willing to learn. Truce?" Bernie thought about it for a minute and finally gave her a tired smile. "Ok, I give up. I'll have one of the interns send up the file box from your original case, the one where social services took you away from your mother. There isn't much in it and that case has been closed for years. It should still give you an idea of what you're poking your nose into. If you don't get bent out of shape maybe I can allow you to look at some more recent stuff. You can use the conference room next to my office. Let me know when you're finished. In the meantime I have work to do." Amber waited until the intern left before she took her laptop out. The bag resembled an oversize purse and she hadn't made a point about planning to take notes. Bernie might have said it was ok but getting this far was tough enough she wasn't eager to give him more reasons to say no. Some of the documents were already part of her personal file. Things like the summary of the interview with the protective services shrink and her mothers surrender of parental rights so she could be adopted. Most of it was boring and tedious. Page after page that could have been condensed to, "nobody's talking and the people we most want to question are gone". She didn't pull out the scanner until she found the Polaroids. While she didn't need any mementos they'd make a great bargaining tool the next time she had to negotiate with Bill. The portable scanner was slower than slow at high resolution so she continued digging through the box. Her moms voluntary commitment for drug rehab was years too late but a nice thing anyway. Franks plea and sentencing was short and easy to read but impossible for her to understand. She held it out while repacking everything and returned with it to Bernie's office. "Hi, I was just getting ready to check on you. I'm about to call it a day. What have you got there?" "I'm not sure. I understand guilty or not guilty. What does nolo contendere mean?" "Also called a nolo or no contest plea. It's a way for a defendant to admit we have enough to get a conviction without admitting they did anything wrong. Usually by the time we're ready to go to court we have a laundry list of charges. In exchange for dropping the things we would have a hard time proving the defendant will plead guilty to the rest. Sometimes we only have a couple of charges and the only one we can prove has a huge mandatory minimum sentence. We can't offer a break on the jail time if they plead guilty but can make a deal if they haven't technically been convicted. A nolo plea leaves the question of guilt hovering out in limbo somewhere and they will accept a jail sentence to keep it there." "Ok, that makes sense. What's a suspended sentence?" "Most criminals start small and work up to the big stuff. There's a juvenile record, a couple times on probation, and at least one stretch in the county jail before they're facing prison. Giving somebody like that another chance is a waste of time. Life gets better for everybody else when they're off the street. Once in a while there's an average person that screws up pretty bad but doesn't have a history of being a bad person. Instead of having them occupy a prison bed or probation officer we need for the really bad guys, we offer them a suspended sentence. The conditions attached are at least as tough as probation but they're more or less on the honor system to live up to them. The other big difference is that violating probation usually means you finish whatever the term was in prison. Getting caught violating the terms of a suspended sentence means you do the whole stretch, even if you were one day away from being free and clear when you screwed up. A real criminal can walk the straight and narrow at first but as time passes they get sloppy. They almost never complete a suspended sentence. Somebody who is basically decent but got caught at a bad time is sort of returning to normal when they clean up their act. They usually live up to the terms and continue being decent afterwards." "So they're not really getting away with anything. What does expunged mean?" "That's sort of a pardon in advance. It's sometimes included in the terms of a suspended sentence if the crime has long term reporting requirements or can keep a person from getting a job later. After they successfully complete the sentence the record is wiped. It's seldom offered to anyone that has a prior criminal history. We don't wipe records for repeat offenders." "When you explain each part of it by itself it sounds reasonable, but you had *pictures* of Frank doing it to me. If you went to court that's like being able to bring the jury over to our place and let them watch! How could you offer him a deal like that when he was so busted?" "You remember when those pictures were taken?" "Yeah... Well... Sort of. Mom had me get into my skimpy school uniform. Maybe it would look slutty on a older girl but I was eight. To me it was just silly. When she told me I had to do older girl stuff, we started to fight. I didn't want anything to do with it. She was ready to slap me when Frank pulled her away and whispered something. The next thing I knew they were holding me down and mom was sticking a needle in me loaded with some of her 'medicine'. I guess they gave me too much. Things got really dreamy and sort of confused. I didn't understand most of what was going on. Even the stuff that hurt felt like it was happening to somebody else." "Uh-huh, the lab reports from a blood sample taken the next day told us you damn near died, would have if they hadn't kept you awake and moving. When you combine the fact that they were the ones that gave you the drugs with the way they kept you awake neither of them were in line for hero awards. Both of them should have gone to prison. When we brought them in it was a race to see which one would testify against the other first. The shrink said you were uncooperative and would have a hard time testifying against your mom. We had pictures of Frank but bringing them into court would mean telling everyone who took them. After she signed off on your adoption papers and signed up for rehab we were ready to offer her immunity in return for her testimony. She was back at the apartment picking up some clothes when she decided to shoot up the rest of her dope." "So mom died and you decided to cut a deal instead of prosecute Frank. What about me? I was eight years old for crisake. You have pictures of him shoving his dick up my *ASS*. Then you let him walk out with a suspended sentence." "It wasn't quite that simple. Your mom was in custody almost two weeks before she got back to the apartment. That's long enough to start losing her tolerance. We thought the OD was accidental at first. It's still listed that way on her death certificate. Frank gave us the names of a couple other people who bought from the same dealer, people who were also having legal problems and looking for a way to lighten up. These people also OD'd and a pattern was forming. If we pushed it to trial Frank might have got ten years on a first offense and been out in five to seven. He got the suspended sentence for his cooperation in further investigations. We were looking to hang the dealer for several murders including your mom." "Really? If he came to *me* with a deal like that I might have asked you to let him go. So, did you get the guy?" "Not yet." "And in another year Frank walks away with no record he did anything wrong." "Uh, not quite. We still don't know if you were his first kid or just the first one he got caught with. He got caught again less than a year later. The judge gave him a nice long stretch and made his original sentence consecutive. Because there was no time already served he could tack it on the end instead of the beginning. He'd have to serve the full term and part of the five before having a shot at parole." "How long is he in for?" "He's dead. Somebody shanked him in the county jail while he was waiting for the bus upstate. I haven't decided yet whether to be happy he's not my problem anymore or frustrated that he got off easy." "I know the feeling. Talking with you is weird, like you somehow got inside my clothes and did creepy stuff to me. At the same time I get the feeling I should thank you for it. Maybe I will some day. Right now I need a shower. Same time next week?" "Unless I can find a way to talk you out of it." End of part 6
