Chapter 1: At court
As the states attorney had called Kurt again to witness she already had gotten a bad feeling about this. Fighting with Alicia and Luca had been tough. She should have never convinced him to change his assessment. He had done it because he loved her - she knew. He shouldn't get discredited. Because he was a good man. And of course also because he was her husband. She didn't want him to be exposed - at all not in public. She was leading this defense. She was - and now Luca ust stood up.
The judge had just asked if she - Ms. Lockhart - had more questions. She denied. But then Luca stood up telling the judge that there were indeed some more questions. She was asking Kurt if he had changed his mind in his new ballistic report. He explained that he hadn't changed his opinion - it had become more complex. Luca kept asking him futher more questions. Diane was shocked. She looked at her in disbelief and she was looking at her husband. It was easy to see that he felt terribly uncomfortable. Luca would try to make him look as he'd be incompetent.
Again he tried to explain that he hadn't changed his mind - science was giving him other references.
Then Luca asked him about his retirement. He told her that this investigation had been a favor. Diane sighed. Now it seemed as if Luca finally had found a lead. Diane thaught that Luca would ask him more closely about this favor - but instead she was asking questions about Holly Westfall. Diane knew exactly where this was leading to. What Luca tried to make it look like. At the same time she was suprised. He had told her that he finally had sold his firm - but he hadn't told her that Holly was the one buying it. At all not after he had promised here she wouldn't be.
Kurt stayed very calm. Answered with a lot of caution and coolness as usual. But Diane wasn't able to stay cool anymore. Why had he talked to Holly about his results?
And then Luca asked about the affair.
"Isn't it true that you had had an affair with Holy Westfall?"
Diane felt hurt - just by the question. She closed her eyes and tried to stop the pain that was rising inside her.
The objection of the attorny was denied - therefore Luca was allowed to continue. As she explained her questions to the judge she was looking at the attorney - and also at Diane for a short moment. Their eyes met. Luca knew that Diane felt very hurt. She could see it in her face. Everyone could. But she continued. She tried to uncover Kurt's bias because of his affair with Holly Westfall.
Diane closed her eyes again. She wasn't able to look up. At all she wasn't able to look at Kurt. He hadn't denied yet and there could only be one reason for this: He did it. He did cheat. He did cheat on her.
As Luca continued Diane had to fight her tears back. Kurt was looking at her, saw the pain and the ache. He felt terrible, horribly sorry. He wished to be able to stand up, take her into his arms, try to explain it to her - but he couldn't. And what was there to explain? He wondered what she was thinking right now. What she was thinking about him - and about their future.
He was asked again about the affair. Now Diane was looking at him. Then she stood up. She walked out of the court room - with all of her elegance not lost.
He looked after her, lowered his head as he saw her leaving. He felt so sorry and hurt. How could he ever compensate this?
