Chapter 15

Sandino shook his leg continuously while listening to his lawyer and agent during a visit about his release.

“I was able to get you off due to lack of evidence. As it turns out, the three witnesses at the night club who came forward in the beginning refuse to cooperate with authorities now. With the young man who was injured not actually seeing you fire the weapon, the district attorney felt as though he wouldn’t have a case. It also helped that your gun was registered and you have a license to carry a concealed weapon. All of that worked in your favor,” the Jewish man informed.

“It took your ass long enough. I’ve been in this jail, seventeen fuckin’ weeks! S-e-v-e-n-t-e-e-n,” Sandino reiterated. “I couldn’t even go to my mother’s funeral last month. I bet if I was one of them white quarterback muthafuckas I woulda been out by now!”

“Mr. Washington these things take time. Just be thankful that we were finally able to get the charges dropped,” his lawyer responded.

Little do you know, my man Black was gettin’ ready to take the charge for me if you hadn’t come through, Sandino thought.

“They’re preparing your paper work so you can be released tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow morning?” Sandino asked in disbelief.

“Yes, that was the best I could do.” His lawyer placed a few pieces of paper inside his briefcase. “I hope you’ll stay out of trouble after all this.”

Sandino frowned. “What difference would it make if I didn’t? As long as you gettin’ paid, why the fuck should you care?”

“As long as you sign the checks, I really don’t care. I was just trying to give you some free legal advice,” the lawyer responded in a sarcastic tone.

Sandino looked at the freckled face white man, wanting to throw a Mike Tyson style haymaker, but knew he wouldn’t get out if he did. Instead, he turned to his agent.

“So, Bryan, have any other teams expressed interest in me? I’m ready to get back on that field next season.”

Immediately after getting locked up, the Miami Dolphins dropped Sandino from the team. Apparently he had no idea about the clause in his contract that stated Sandino would be released if he was ever involved in any criminal activity. His former agent had failed to mention that to him as well.

“Sandino, nobody wants to touch you because of your temper. Hell, did you forget that you were suspended for that illegal hit during the pre-season? Most general managers won’t even take my call because they know exactly what I want. Not to mention, you’re one of the oldest Defensive Tackle’s in the league. Everybody thinks you should retire anyway,” Bryan replied.

Sandino banged his fist against the table. “Fuck what everybody else thinks. I’ll retire when I’m good and goddamn ready! All them hatin’ muthafuckas can go to hell, includin’ you Bryan. Who’s side are you on anyway?”

Bryan lowered his voice. “You were extremely intoxicated when you were arrested. That won’t sit well with team owners right now.
