Lindsey's age,
Lindsey watched as Steve got up from his chair and walked over to
her.
"Lindsey," he smiled " Do you love your mom?"
Lindsey nodded " Yes."
"And how about your dad?"
Lindsey looked over at her mother.
"Lindsey?" Steve replied blocking her view.
"He's my dad" he paused " I do love him."
"Why did you look over at you mom?" Steve questioned "Did she or
Uncle Gil tell you what to say?"
Lindsey shook her head " No, I just don't want my mommy or uncle Gil
to be upset with me."
"And what if they were?" Steve continued " Would either of them hurt
you?"
"NO!" Lindsey snapped back ,clearly upset at his question " My mommy
never hurts me, neither does uncle Gil.. just my dad he doesn't love
us."
"Did your uncle Gil tell you to say that?" Steve smirked, but didn't
wait for an answer " And what about Mr. Grissom?"
Lindsey nodded again " I love him too,"
"But he's not your Uncle is he?" Steve replied.
"Lindsey shook her head " NO but.." she began.
"You said that Uncle Gil was your mom's best friend, would your best
friend ever lie to you?"
Lindsey's eye darted back and forth but Steve was still blocking the
view of the only faces that kept her calm.
"No," she replied.
"So why do you think you're Uncle Gil lied to your mom?"
Lindsey made face at the comment " My Uncle Gil never lied to my
mom, he wouldn't ever,"
Steve nodded " But Lindsey he did, he took you away from your mom
and told her she couldn't see you unless she made your daddy leave.
And when your daddy came to take you home where you belong, he said
that he didn't know where you were."
"He only.." Lindsey began but Steve cut her off
"You said that your dad's friend came to the house to bring you and
your mom home, and you said that they hurt Mr. Grissom, did you see
what happened?"
Lindsey shook her head " No..but I was" Lindsey tried to explain
"So you lied?" Steve replied
Lindsey shook her head and tried to be strong " My daddy...my daddy
was..."
Lindsey tried to finish but it was too much for her and the tears
began to fall.
Lindsey, why are you crying?" Steve walked closer to her " Do you
know why you here today?"
Lindsey looked up " Not really"
"Lindsey you're here to day because your mom and her best friend
tried to kill your daddy."
Lindsey looked over at her mother and Gil
Steve walked back to the table, leaving Lindsey with tears streaming
down her face and Eddie with a large grin on his.
"Nothing further your honor"
