Captured Hearts 21
"If Marty presses charges will you defend Victor?" Blair asked.
"I can't not after everything he's done. He got himself into his own mess with Marty, he can get himself out. I don't want to talk about Victor anymore. I just want to go home and take a relaxing bubble bath with you," Tea stated.
"Sounds like a plan."
Tea's phone rang so she pulled her phone out of her purse and answered it.
"Tea, I'm in jail. I need your help," Tea heard Todd say.
"What did you do this time?"
"I assaulted my brother, but believe me I had good reasons," Todd said defensively. He didn't know how Tea would react and he hated calling her, but she was the only lawyer that he trusted.
"I'll be right there."
"Who was that?" Blair asked as Tea hung up the phone.
"Todd, he's in jail for assaulting Victor. Let's go to the police station. The bubblebath will have to wait until later," Tea stated as she grabbed Blair's hand and headed for the exit.

It didn't take long for Tea to get Todd out on bail. After he was released he headed straight to the hospital. He knew that it wasn't his smartest decision but there was a few things that he needed to say to his brother.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Victor asked as soon as Todd walked into his room.
"We need to have a little talk about Marty," Todd coldly stated as he glared at Victor.
"I don't want to talk about Marty with you."
"Fine, I'll do all the talking and you can listen. Marty can't make it through another trial. She shouldn't have to testify about what you did to her. Be a man and own up to what you did. If you love her like you claim you do then give her the justice that she deserves and plead guilty. Either way I swear to you that you'll pay for hurting her one way or another," Todd stated and then left.

It had been a week since Todd had visited Victor. He had thought long and hard about what Todd had said and he had finally decided what he wanted to do.
"Mr. Lord, please stand up," the judge ordered.
Victor looked around and saw Marty sitting in the back between Tea and Todd. He stood up and looked at the judge.
"You have been charged with the rape of Marty Saybrooke. How do you plead in regards to these charges?"
