Chapter 11:

Court house.... Miguels lawyer, Michael has just called Miguel to the stand.

Michael: So Miguel. You must really love your daughter if you want custody of her?

Miguel: Yes I do. She's just about all I have left now since Charity died.

Michael: Yes speaking of murder. Do you think Ms Bennett ever killed Charity just to get a better chance of winning?

Sharon: Your Honour, I object! This has nothing to do of what we're here today for!

Judge: Thank you Ms Knight I agree. Mr Smith please ask a more appropriate question.

Michael: Sorry Your Honour. If you got custody of Maria what would be the first thing you two do?

Miguel: I would take her home. And get her used to the place.

Michael: When you and Kay conceived your child did she trick you some how at all?

Miguel: Yes she probably did because she was obesessed with me at the time

Michael: Thank you Miguel I have no more questions to ask.

Judge: Ms Knight?

Sharon: Miguel, when you and Kay conceived your child, why did you do it with Kay while you were with Charity?

Miguel: I thought I was making love to Charity.

Sharon: You thought you were making love to Charity even though it was Kay?

Miguel: Yes.

Sharon: Clearly Kay thought you wanted to make love to her. She thought you loved her. That was the only reason she made love to you.

Miguel: No!

Sharon: But Miguel. After you found out Charity was battling to survive you intended to keep it a secret. And even more bizarre you asked Charity to marry you! You asked a girl to maary you even though you were hovering a dark secret from her!

Miguel: Charity would of hated me if I told her.

Sharon: But at least you would be honest! Thank you Miguel. I would like to call forward Fox Crane to the stand.

Fox goes to the stand.

Sharon: So Fox, You've seen Kay with Maria quite a lot of times. What is Kay's face like.

Fox: Everytime Kay see's Maria her whole face lights up. It's just amazing!

Sharon: Has Miguel or Charity ever done anything to you two?

Fox: Yes, Charity tried to kiss me which nearly separated Kay and I. And Miguel just won't leave us alone!

Miguel stares at Fox with anger in his eyes.

Sharon: What do you mean Miguel won't leave you alone?

Fox: He keeps on knocking on our door for some reason. It's that or either phoning us.

Sharon: A possible stalker?

Fox: I really don't know.

Sharon: Thank you Fox

Judge: Mr Smith?

Michael: I would like to call forward Kay's mother Grace Bennett to the stand.

Grace goes to the stand.

Michael: In your own words Mrs Bennett what is Kay like?

Grace: She's a scheming, evil tart!

Michael: What do you mean by evil Grace?

Grace: A few years back when she was obsessed with Miguel she got a bird statue and tried to drive Charity nuts by hiding it in her room. And I'm sure she has realised evil into Harmony!

Michael: And her attitude?

Grace: She clearly hates Charity, me and her sister Jessica! She's always keen to start a fight with us!

Michael: Thank you Grace.

Judge: Ms Knight?

Sharon: Thank you your honour. Ms Standish.

Grace: Thats Mrs Bennett.

Sharon: No it isn't. Because Kay told me that Sam divorced you and Married Ivy Bennett. So clearly you a Standish now Grace! How can you be so sure that Kay is bringing evil to Harmony?

Grace: I have premonitions.

Sharon: I'm not asking anymore questions. I would like to call forward, Kays father Chief Bennett.

Sam makes his way to the stand.

Sharon: What is Kay like?

Sam: She's a sweet, sensitive girl. She's nothing like my ex wife makes her out to be.

Sharon: You witnessed a fight between Charity and Kay. Who started that fight?

Sam: Charity. Charity was yelling and screaming that she and Miguel would win this case.

Sharon: Thanks Sam, Sorry that was so short. Pilar Lopez Fitzgerald.

Pilar goes to the stand.

Sharon: Pilar who's side are you on?

Pilar: Kay and Fox's.

Sharon: But Miguel is your son?

Pilar: Yes thats true. But I just hat seeing a child get separated from it's mother.

Sharon: Over the past few days since Charity died what has Miguels behaviour been like?

Pilar: He's been acting very strange. He's been obsessed over trying to win the case.

Sharon: Really?

Pilar: Yes.

Sharon: Thanks Mrs Lopez Fitzgerald.

Judge: I have reached a conclusion. I have also decided who should get Maria. Ladies and Gentlemen Maria is going into custody of...........
