Chapter 19 The Verdict
Kim stood outside the courtroom, "I can't do this" Kim said. "Honey you have too" Mrs. Possible said.
"What if I lose? He will get away with it and…." Mr. Possible cut her off "Think positive Kim, remember nothing is impossible for a possible" Mr. Possible said.
Kim tried not to cry,
"Yeah, I'm not so sure about that anymore" Kim whispered. She walked in and sat down. "Court is now in session" Simon said.
"Kim, are you okay?" Ron asked.
"No, I'm scared" Kim said. He slid his hand on hers,
"Has the jury reached a verdict?" Simon said.
"We have your honor, we the jury find Brick Flagg not guilty" One said.
Kim cried in Ron's arms,
"Very well, Brick is…" The judge was cut off.
"WAIT!" A girl shouted.
"Who shouted?" Simon demanded.
A brown haired girl came forward.
"I did" Bonnie said.
Kim was shocked, why was Bonnie here?
"Your honor, with your permission I'd like to take the stand" Bonnie said.
"Why?" Simon asked.
"I know Brick Flagg raped Kim" Bonnie said. The jury began to murmur
"Very well" Simon said.
Bonnie walked towards the stand
"Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help you god?" Mitch said.
"I do" Bonnie said.
"My name is Bonnie Rockwaller, and I know both the victim and the accused, I am Brick's girlfriend" Bonnie said.
"And how are you a witness?" Sue asked.
"It was the day I had gotten out of school, Brick was driving me home he said he was angry at Kim for what she did and that he wanted to get back at her" Bonnie said.
"What else did he say?" Sue said.
"The day he was arrested I went in, I didn't believe he was innocent, and after I left him he said if I would testify I was dead" Bonnie said.
Brick felt a lump in his throat.
"Have you any further comments?" Simon said.
"No" Bonnie said. She stepped down; she glared at Kim and took her seat.
The jury began to talk, "Your honor, we have changed our verdict, we the jury find Brick Flagg guilty" One said.
"So say one, so say you all?" Simon said. The jury nodded,
"Very well, Brick Flagg will be charged on the account of rape and will serve six years in prison and three on community service a restraining order will be filed, if he shall come in with fifteen feet of Kim or her house, he will be punished, court is adjourned" Simon said.
Kim jumped up as her parents hugged her,
"YOUR DEAD BONNIE! YOU BETRAYED ME!" Brick shouted.
The officers cuffed him, "Wait" Bonnie said. She walked up to him, she slapped him across the face "That's for Kim, and of course I never want to see you again" Bonnie said.
The court room emptied as Kim walked out into the parking lot, her parents were in the car with Monique and Ron. She smiled and jumped in the car.
