Chapter 7

The courtroom was packed. While Oakley knew this was a big event for the town, he was seeing people from their little burg he’d not seen in some time. There to support their newest member, as well as hoping, he’d been told, to make a good impression so they’d be asked to babysit once in a while.

Oakley didn’t know how they thought that was going to work. There was Frank, his grandda, then Fletcher, Bella’s father. Five uncles and two aunts. Not to mention several friends of friends that had already put their names in the hat for their chance. They were betting on the fact that there were lots of babies coming along, he thought, what with Harris having a child and them having two. Then there was Dean and Bella’s little guy, Dru.

He looked at the two people brought into the room in prison stripes, as well as chains on their ankles and wrists. Harris had found out the two of them had been nothing but trouble since they’d been arrested. Then there was the fact that Allison had been put into solitary confinement several times over the last month to keep her from hurting the other inmates. It looked like they were a pair, the two of them.

“There’s that bitch that caused all this. I hope they hang your ass.” No one said a word as Allie came toward the bench that she was to sit at, and close to Lach. He had to hand it to his wife; she didn’t shy away from the violence of Allie. “I hope you rot in hell, bitch.”

After she was seated and told to behave, Lance would turn around and glare at Lach off and on. Like that was supposed to scare her off from testifying today. The people had nearly killed Lach, and there was no way any of them were going to walk away from getting this family off the streets.

The judge, a very close friend of Harris’s, came into the room amid the people moving around for a better seat. Judge Parker had spoken to Harris at great length about the things she’d found, and also how badly they needed to have these two fuck up badly here today so there would be a reckoning for their past deeds too.

There weren’t any seats to be had. It was, as it turned out, standing room only in the small quiet little courtroom. They’d moved the trial to their town for two reasons. One of them to not make it hard on Lach, who was looking very banged up, thanks to Harris and a makeup team. And apparently, a change of venue had been decided on because there wasn’t a soul in the Gray’s town that didn’t want to string the two of them up for other reasons. Apparently, they’d been making their own kind of trouble around the city, as well as the people that worked for or with them.

Once everyone was seated again, Judge Parker asked the Grays if they had an attorney.
