Diagnosis Hatred-Ch 35
Savannah said, "Anthony was a means to an end", Anna said, "meaning what"?, Savannah looked at Anthony in the back of the court room and said, "he worked in the lab, he was the head tech and I needed free, any time access to the lab". Anna said, "ahhhhh, so you used sex to get what you wanted from him, is that right"?, she smiled proudly and said, "yes".
Anthony sat there watching and listening as she said, "I kept him satisfied and when Penelope would come in for blood work and tests I would have access to her results and that made it easier for me to change them". Anna said, "so what are your feelings toward Anthony"?, she said, "I don't have any feelings for him, none at all".
Anna said, "I find that hard to believe", Savannah laughed and said, "I don't care what you believe, I needed access to the lab and keeping Anthony satisfied in the lab, my place and his place got me that access, any time I wanted it". Anna said, "so you had sex with Anthony in the lab"?, Savannah adjusted in the seat and said, "yes, several times as a matter of fact".
Everybody listened as Anna said, "did you and your lover use any protection"?, she said, "I was on the pill but what does that have to do with anything"?, Anna handed a copy of results to Savannahs lawyer and to the judge. She then walked over and stood in front of Savannah and said, "why don't I let you read it for yourself Savannah".
Savannah looked down at the papers and she shook her head and said, "no, this can't be", Anna said, "what do the results say Savannah"?, she looked up at Anna and said, "this isn't right, you messed with the paperwork, this can't be right". Anna said, "I can verify the results myself Savannah, they are correct, 100% correct and that's a promise".
Penelope looked at Derek and he shrugged and then they looked at Anna who shared with the court, "Savannah you are pregnant, almost 18 weeks to be exact", Savannah shook her head and said, "no, no this isn't right, this isn't right". Anna looked at Savannah and said, "no further questions for this witness your honor".
The judge looked at the defense and said, "do you have any questions for this witness", she stood up and said, "no mam, no questions", the judge said, "your excused, you may step down". Savannah stood up and walked back toward her seat, once she sat down her hand went to her stomach and she said, "this can't be happening, this can't be happening".
Anna said, "we rest your honor", Savannahs attorney stood up and said, "my client wants to change her plea", the judge said, "she does"?, Savannah stood up and said, "yes mam and I no longer desire a trial by jury, I want you to give me my sentence and as soon as possible please". The judge said, "alright, we stand in recess while I go back to my chambers and decide on a verdict".
The baitliff said, "all rise" and everybody stood up as they watched the judge walk back into her chambers, Savannah stood up and was led toward the door, she turned around and looked at a still in shock Anthony. The last thing she saw before the door close was him sinking back down in his seat and running his hand over his head.
Penelope said, "poor Anthony, he didn't deserve this", Derek said, "neither did you", she nodded her head in agreement and Dave said, "how about we go grab something to eat"?, Penelope said, "sounds good, sounds good" as the team walked out of the court room and headed toward the front door.
