Chapter Ten

Day two of the trial, and there were new faces in the gallery. Trial watchers, or as Aidan called them, looky-loos. People who sat in court all day and watched the proceedings even though they had no connection to the people on trial. Some of the watchers were retired, some were in college studying to be lawyers, and some were there simply because they were curious. Aidan noticed an annoyed looking man on the back row who was sitting in the same spot he had sat the day before. He had a notepad and pen at the ready, and she wondered what he was annoyed about and why he kept looking at her. On the opposite end of the row from him, sat the man who had visited with Vicky. The one whose daughter had also been a victim of Harold’s. Vicky chatted with him a few minutes before taking her seat.

There were also new faces in Aidan and Vicky’s support group. Dakota was there, along with Mary Wedding, RN, BSN, who had taken care of both Aidan and Vicky, when they were patients. Yvonne was at the office, filling in for Vicky, and Jerry was out in the field, filling in for Aidan. He had finally manage to convince his mother, Virginia, to go home, much to Yvonne’s relief. The rest of the group; Joyce, Ellen, the Montgomery’s, Samantha and Dr. Kline, had taken their seats directly behind Aidan and Vicky.

Meghan addressed the Judge. “Your Honor, the People recall Leonard Montgomery to the stand.”

Leonard squeezed Vicky’s hand, stood up and walked to the witness chair.

“I remind you that you are still under oath, Mr. Montgomery,” Judge Williamson advised him.

“Yes, Your Honor,” Leonard replied, sitting down to the left of her.

“Mr. Montgomery,” Meghan began, “Yesterday you were telling us the particulars of being taken hostage by the defendant. Please continue.”

“Well, considering my history with him, I was naïve enough to believe what Harold said. He told us that if we wanted to see our daughter alive again, we had better cooperate. But I didn’t cooperate. Not at first anyway. That’s when he showed me the picture of his hand on Vicky. It was enough to convince me, but now I guess that was probably a fake, too.”

Harold frowned and said, “Objection, it wasn’t a fake.”

The Judge looked at him curiously and then made a note on her notepad.

George jumped up. “We withdraw that objection, Your Honor.”

Meghan’s face was like stone, but in her mind she was laughing.

“So noted,” Judge Williamson stated, scribbling through what she had just written.

George sat back down and quietly chastised Harold. “Are you trying to be found guilty?”

“It wasn’t a fake, damn it. I went to great pains to take that picture.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you took it or not,” George said tersely. “It’s evidence against you, you idiot.”

“Don’t you fucking call me an idiot!” Harold exclaimed.

“Order,” Williamson demanded loudly. “Ms. Tisdale, you still have the floor.”

Meghan nodded at the Judge and turned to Leonard. “Please continue, Mr.
