Chapter 1

Samantha Nixon stepped up to the stand and looked nervously around the courtroom.

"Do you Samantha Nixon swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" Sam put her hand on the bible in front of her.

"Yes."

"Right miss Nixon." The prosecution barrister stood up. "Could you please go through the events of the day in question?"

"Ok."

"In your own time, I know how hard this is for you."

"Erm I… came home from work and my front door had been kicked in. I walked through to the kitchen, there was a vodka bottle on the worktop and I saw him standing there."

"Are you referring to the defendant, Stuart Turner?"

"Yes."

"Ok you can continue." Sam looked at Phil on the other side of the room who gave her an encouraging smile.

"He said I'd hurt him and I was going to pay. I tried to run but he grabbed my wrist and threw me to the floor. I tried to scream but he put his hand over my mouth. He held me down. I tried to fight him but I couldn't and then he… he… raped me."

"Ok what happened next?"

"He picked up a knife from the drawer and stabbed me and dropped the knife on the floor."

"And then what happened?"

"He left and Phil came in and he rang an ambulance and asked me what happened."

"I said it was Stuart and then he came back into the room and Phil turned around and he stabbed him."

"And then what?"

"Phil fell to the floor and he ran away. Then I blacked out… I can't remember anything else."

"You said the defendant said you were going to pay."

"Yes."

"Why do you think that was?"

"I don't know."

"He said you hurt him?"

"Yes."

"What did he mean by this?"

"I don't know."

"Were you and the defendant together previously?"

"Yes."

"And who ended it?"

"I did."

"Do you think that would be what he meant?"

"I suppose it's possible."

"Ok no more questions your honour."

The prosecution barrister sat down and the defence stood up.

"You said you and my client were together previously yes?"

"Yes."

"And when did you end it? The exact date please."

"27th September of last year."

"Ok. What is your relationship with DS Hunter?"

"Objection your honour this has no relevance."

"Objection overruled. Continue."

"Are you in a sexual relationship with DS Hunter?"

"Yes."

"And when did this relationship start?"

"27th September."

"The same day you ended things with my client?"

"Yes."

"Were you having a sexual relationship with DS Hunter while you were with my client?"

"Objection your honour…"

"Continue."

"Were you having an affair with DS Hunter?"

"No."

"By your own admission you started a relationship with DS Hunter the same day you ended it with the defendant."

"Yes."

"I put it to you… that you were having an affair with DS Hunter and when my client found out… he confronted you. You denied it and he got angry. You were both angry and he lashed out and stabbed you and the rape did not happen."

"No that's not true." Her breathing became irregular. "I… I…don't feel…"

"Your honour she is obviously getting distressed, I suggest we take a break."

"Objection. Your honour the witness has been in courtrooms many times and knows how to act distressed."

"Ok continue."

"Is this part of a plan you concocted with DS Hunter to cover your tracks and trail of deceit?"

"No." she fought back tears. "I… I…" Sam fell to the floor unconscious.

Phil jumped to his feet and rushed down the steps. A guard held him back.

"No please let me see her." He pushed his way past the guard and ran to her side. "Sam can you hear me? It's going to be alright." He cradled her in his arms. "Someone call an ambulance."

Sam opened her eyes and squinted.

"Phil?"

"Shh… it's going to be alright." He kissed the top of her head as she lost consciousness again.
