“W e’re doing really well. We need to wait for the call back from the DA’s office first, but we can handle this one on our own,” I said.

“We can’t allow this man to walk the streets again; what he did was wrong,” Cindy Rucker said. She handled social media for True Justice.

She had to know a killer walking the streets was not about to happen if I had anything to say about it.

“What are our friends saying on Facebook and Twitter?” I asked.

When I wasn’t keeping up with Hope Donovan’s case and pending execution, I worked on behalf of other victims, survivors, and their families. I was proud of what we had accomplished with True Justice since its inception.

We especially liked getting in on a case at the very beginning. The sooner we introduced ourselves to the families, and let them know our interests in the outcomes were similar, the better we got along. In most cases we recruited without even trying. Our members were all brought together by tragedy; we were fueled by a thirst for justice and worked well because we’d traveled in each other’s shoes.

“They’re ready to sign a petition, show up at his arraignment in droves or whatever we need,” she reported.

They usually were, but still, I liked to ask so that I could remind everyone of the work we were doing and reinforce that we were not alone.

“Good.” I turned to Sabrina Collier. “What is his criminal history looking like?” She handled research.

“This is his second DWI. The only problem I see is he’s well-connected. If you have money, you can buy freedom. Oh, and I got that from a source, but they’re not identifying him yet.”

“Why are they keeping his identity under wraps?”

“We’re not sure, except, it must be that he’s really connected.”

“Hmmm, looks like this is a case where we need to get the media machine working right away. We don’t have time for the police to be protecting a murderer. We need the mother in front of the cameras; we need her crying at the drop of a hat.” I looked up from my notes and smiled. “All in all, I think we’ve had a good week. We got a date for Hope, and we’re working on making sure this creep is put under the jail cell.”

“You think we can push for the death penalty?” Michelle asked. That familiar twinkle was in her eyes. And I was not about to disappoint.

“I’m sure with the right amount of pressure the DA will do the right thing.”

She smiled.

“If not, I’m sure we can organize an effort to make sure she knows how her constituents feel about her being soft on crime,” Michelle warned.

I was so proud; I had trained them well.

We were wrapping up a meeting at the True Justice offices. We were talking about a campaign to get the DA to file capital charges against a man who was driving drunk and killed a father and his child. He fled the scene, but was recently taken into custody.
