Authors note: what on earth am I thinking? Well to tell you the truth I don't know what I'm thinking. Not really any way. Ok since I decided to turn this Ito a multi chapter fic I should probably give a reason as to why Olivia got shot by Travis but first to Explain Amaro's perjuring himself
"What?! Amaro perjured himself? On the stand in Petrovsky's court room? When?" All of these questions flowed from Alex's mouth never quite becoming individual words but staying together in a tangled mass of noise decipherable only to Olivia, whose ears had become adept at distinguishing words during her time as a detective.
"Alex, four years ago Amaro was working this case against a drug lord he had a vendetta against and there wasn't enough evidence so he made up a confession. Told the courts over and over that Pedro, that was his name, had admitted to it on the car ride over. Well I was in that car with him and I know for a fact that Pedro did not say that but I was tied up in court on another case and I wasn't lead so I wasn't needed in court. When I finally did testify all hell broke loose. The Ada at the time asked what the defendant had told us in the car and I answered with nothing. Well as you can guess that didn't go over well. They forced me, Amaro, the Ada, and the jurors to sign contracts that said we wouldn't say anything and let Pedro go with prejudice."
"Needless to say Alexandra I had the foresight to see that this could eventually come to bite us all in the ass so I wrote a clause in the contract that said they could testify against him if any charges were to be filled against him with someone else as the complaining witness."
"Which is where I come in. I witnessed him perjuring himself and I didn't sign a contract. It is unfortunate that now every case he worked will come into question."
Alex even with her slightly sleep altered mind she knew that this was going to be slightly more complex than most of the trials for perjury were but having a judge as a complaining witness one was going to be their only salvation. This trial however would make the Travis trial go a fair bit easier.
"Elizabeth are you sure you want to do this? It could backfire and then things will get really complicated."
"Of course I'm sure. Olivia deserves justice after all the things that she has had to go through because of this horrible shooting. Not to mention I have wanted to get back to my former position if only temporarily for quite some time."
"Ok then. It's up to you... Would you mind giving us a moment?" Alex asked as she curled impossibly closer to Olivia.
"Sure, we need to be on our way anyhow. I'll see you in court tomorrow Alexandra. I hope you will be better by then." And with that the couple made a hasty exit.
"So are you coming home with me tomorrow?"
"Yes. The doctors approved of the plan while you were asleep. Tomorrow we'll be at your pent house on the Upper East Side going to bed. Melinda will come and check on me in the afternoons during her lunch break."
"Good. I can't wait!"
Authors note2: sorry for a short chapter (again). Lots of school work to do. *groans and starts writing paper again*
