Story: Stranger Than Fiction by K.Vicentijevic

John is a defense lawyer and he has his own firm. Last Thursday he experienced the strangest event in his life.
He was going to work by car and he was in a good mood. On his way to work he was thinking about a meeting with his new client Mark, a doctor who had been accused of killing a woman, and he claimed that he was innocent. Moreover, he had had an alibi when he had been inspected, so everyone had belived in his innocence. What was interesting, head of the killed woman had never been found. So, John didn’t expect anything stange to happen that day.
When John got at the firm, Mark had already arrived and he had been waiting for John for over an hour. John invited him to his office, so that they could talk in peace. After they agreed about everything that Mark should say in the court, Mark had to sign some papers so that John was sure that he would get paid. When he (Mark) opened his doctor bag, he could see the head of the woman in the bag!! John couldn’t belive what he had seen. Of course, he invited the police immediately.
Police came in five minutes and arrested Mark, who still claimed that he was innocent and that someone was doing that so that he would end up in the prison. John, as his lawyer, had to come on the preliminary hearing. He was confused, he didn’t know what to think. He was Mark’s lawyer and he didn’t have any choice- he had to represent him.
On the hearing, the judge said that no bail was available, and he determined the date of the trial.
John went home, and told his to his girlfriend what had happened to him. She was amazed. When John got into bed that night, he could hardly belive what had happened that day.
