Chapter 21: The Third Camera
The judge looked at the clock over the jury box.
It said 4:40.
"The third camera," she said dryly, "can testify at nine tomorrow morning. Members of the jury, don't discuss the case, don't read about it, and don't look at anybody's Instagram."
Chris was already on his feet, asking for a sidebar, and the judge was already gone.
I didn't sleep much that night.
Finn sat up with me in the hotel room on the couch, watching a cooking show with the sound off and his arm around me.
At two in the morning he said, "Whatever happens tomorrow, the floor was fine."
"I know."
"I needed to say it out loud once."
At nine, the courtroom was so full they'd opened the overflow room down the hall.
The investigator sat in the first row behind us, in a gray suit, with his lawyer.
Chris didn't look at him.
Jade did.
She looked at him the whole time the jury filed in.
Her hands were folded on her knee, and her boot was stretched out in front of her.
My father called the investigator first, to say where the file came from.
