The Olympic Brothers--"Trial, Day 1, Part 2"

**Long chapter again.**

After Robert's lawyer got done questioning him, Kristin's representative did.

"You say that you grounded her often, because of her grades and behavior at school and in the neighborhood."

"Yes."

"Well, if she was grounded so often, how would she get hte amount of bruises that she got?"

Kristin looked at the judge. He didn't seem impressed, or even ammused that Robert may have gotten stuck. In fact, he seemed a bit bored.

"She didn't listen to me, and I couldn't be home 24/7. She was unruly, always being brought home by the cops for having a BB gun, or hte such."

"What does that have to do with bruises?"

"When she went outside, she didn't go to churches, you know. She went to play sports, to the rec center."

"Why do you think that Kristin would be making these allegations against you, if they're not true?"

"Becuase she never really LIKED me. I don't know if she loved me, but liking me, I knew, what not something she did. She thought that I tried to take the place of her mom, who did God knows what until we finally divorced. I don't know why she would, but I'm guessing its because she wants revenge."

**Later that day*

Kristin stomped to the car and slammed the door, sulking inside. She locked all the doors so Peter couldn't get in.

"Kristin, come ON!" He tried to reason. "NO. Go away!"

"It's my car!"

"I'm the one with the locks."

He didn't answer, instead he walked to the driver's side, took out his key, and unlocked it. "And I'm the one with the key."

When they were at Horizon Kristin finally spoke. "I'm gonna lose. I know it. Everyone is going to believe a former officer than a raggedy old street kid."

"Tat's not true, Kristin. As long as tomorrow, you say everything TRUELY. Don't make up lies or exagerrate so your stories will seem worse or more believable. Just tell the truth."

"Do I haveto go to the olympics thing today?"

"Yes."
