" You may be seated." Judge Markham said as court was back in session. " Your witness Ms. Sullivan."

" I call Landon Carter to the stand." Jamie said. Landon stands from his seat and took the bench.

After Landon was sworn in, Jamie began asking questions as she stands in front to him.

" Can you tell us what happened that night?" Jamie asked.

" It was a busy night, the hospital was full, patients were everywhere. Towards the end of the night, a man began to have a seizure, me and Dr. Thomas ran to his side. We ran some tests and by the time we got the results, it was to late, there was nothing we could do." Landon explained.

" The man, Mr. Avery. He didn't know how sick he was did he?" Jamie asked.

" No."

" Do you believe that if you had gotten to Mr. Avery sooner, that he would still be alive today?" Jamie asked.

" Objection." Mr. Johnson called out.

" You may answer the question." The judge said to Landon.

" No I don't believe he would be alive today. The tests show that there was no way he could have survive, it was to late, to advanced." Landon explained.

" No further questions." Jamie said as she went back to her seat.

" Your witness Mr. Johnson."

" How long did was Mr. Avery waiting before he seized?" Johnson asked.

" Maybe an hour or two." Landon said as he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.

" An hour or two. And you say there's no way that if you got to him when he first walked in he wouldn't be alive?"

" Yes."

" You were tired that night, not your best. Is that right?"

" I did the best I could."

" Your best killed Mr. Avery."

" Objection!" Jamie yelled as she jumped from her seat.

" No further questions." Johnson said before the judge could.

" You may step down."

Landon sat right next to Jamie again.

" A short recess then we'll continue with closing arguments." The judge explained.

Landon and Jamie went outside.

" I have a bad feeling about this." Landon said as he paces the ground.

" Don't say that. I think it went better then what could have happened. Johnson is a dick, pay no mind to him. There was a lot of ways he could have worked you but he didn't mainly because he sucks but also you said the truth and there's no way around it." Jamie explained as she leans against the outside wall of the courthouse.

" Thanks." Landon said as he stares into her eyes.

" Can I talk to you?" Josh asked as he walks towards Jamie.

" What are you doing here?" Jamie asked in shock, then remembering the fact that she blew him off.

" I need top talk to you." Josh said really serious.

" Ok." Jamie said to Josh and " Excuse us for a minute." To Landon.

" What's going on? You look pretty serious, that unlike you." Jamie said when they stopped walking.

" I'm going to look past the fact that you blew me off. I need your help." Josh said.

" Thanks for not being pissed I forgot about that night. I'll help you any way I can, what's up?" Jamie asked.

" There's this conference, it's a big company and their looking for a lawyer's to represent them. I just need you to go but there's no work involved for you but I need a partner." Josh explained, hoping she would say yes.

" I don't know, I have a lot on my plate right now." Jamie said.

" We wouldn't have to leave for 3 days and you'll only be gone 4 days, please." Josh begged.

She just looked at him, there was no way she could say no, he still is inside of her in away, still in her heart.

" Fine. I'll go with you." Jamie sighed.

" Thanks you so much." Josh said as he kisses her on the cheek. Then leaves.

" Damnit." She sighed. " Your still not over him." Jamie told her self. " But you will be, your with Landon now." She told her self, the thought of Landon made her smile.

" Hey." Landon said as she walks towards him.

" Hey. Miss me?" Jamie asked with a grin.

" Always." Landon said. " What did he want?"

" I'll tell you later." Jamie said as she got word the judge is back.

They made their way back to their seats in the courtroom.

" Mr. Johnson." The judge said.

" I and Mr. Avery's family are asking that you do what's right. Dr. Landon Carter should never practice medicine again." Mr. Johnson rambled on. Landon didn't listen to one word for some reason all he could think about is Jamie and Josh and them together. He doesn't know about their past but he has a feeling there's more to it.

" Ms. Sullivan." the judge said, pulling Landon away from his thoughts.

" Its tragic, what happened to Mr. Avery but as you heard there was no way to prevent his death. Yes the hospital was busy, yes Dr. Carter was tired but that doesn't mean he didn't do all he could to save Mr. Avery's life. Mr. Avery got the best care under the circumstances. So do what's right, you cant take this man's license away because if you did there would be one less doctor to save life's, one less good doctor, a doctor that cares, a hell of a doctor." Jamie said. Then went back to her seat.

Then the court room cleared again, everyone stood waiting for the jury to come back.

Less then half hour later, the verdict was in.

" Is that good?" Landon asked Jamie as they walk back into the courtroom.

" I don't know." Jamie said as they took their seats.

" Have you reach a verdict?" the judge asked the jury.

" Yes we have your honor." The foreperson said.

" What say you?"

" We the jury find Dr. Landon Carter innocent of all charges."

" Oh my god." Landon said as he hugs Jamie.

" I told you, you would win."
