CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Audrey walked into the courtroom and made her way to the right side. She sat in an aisle seat about midway. The room was mostly empty, save for the court reporter and a tall man behind the prosecution’s desk.

He was older, with salt and pepper hair that leaned more toward the salt end of the spectrum.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was a message from Simon. Seemed his therapy appointment didn’t go so well that morning. Not surprising. Her own experiences with mental health had been challenging, and what he was going through was going to suck. It was harsh.

A few more people came in. Randall tapped her lightly on the shoulder and sat behind her. “All good, Linser?” he asked.

She turned and gave him a weak smile. “All good, Top. Just want to see this through.”

Two more people came in, a man and a woman, and they also went to the prosecution’s table. They sat and began unloading documents from a small box one of them had carried in.

Audrey looked back down at her phone. He’d been so distant for the last few days. It set her off balance, and she didn’t care for the feeling. Since they’d started seeing each other, it had been rare that they’d not spent the night together. It had been a week since the last time they’d had a conversation, and she’d missed him.

She typed out a message, Sorry you had a shit time. I’ll talk to you later. It wasn’t much, but she was at a loss what to say. Maybe they could settle this tonight, and she’d find out what was bothering him so much. As long as he didn’t confess his undying love. That was the one thing she wasn’t sure she could handle.

Chad Gross pulled open the door to the courtroom and stepped inside. The Prosecution had three people and a lot of papers. His lip curled slightly. Predictable. They probably had everything from the last trial in there as well. Not that they needed it. His dumbass client ensured that he’d be behind bars for the rest of his natural life. As long as Brewer was around, he had to deal with him. Small price to pay to maintain his standard of living. At least with him in prison for good, he didn’t have to worry about losing track of him.

He took a step down the aisle and saw Audrey sitting on the side of the prosecution. An older man was sitting behind her, leaning forward and whispering to her. Well. This was interesting. He didn’t expect her to show up after the crap at the prison. She was clear that she didn’t give a damn about Brewer. He’d been so disappointed to find out that their conversation hadn’t been recorded. It really wasn’t an interrogation. Shame. He’d have loved to file a formal complaint against her and CID and stir that nest a little. He smiled. He had other ways to get what he wanted out of that situation.
