They found courthouse three ten minutes before they had to be inside. Robin held tight to Patrick.
"I'll go see if everything is on time." Mac said walking into the court room.
"Ok." Robin said leaning her head against Patrick and closing her eyes trying to breath normally.
"It's going to be ok." Patrick said.
They all heard chains rattling as Alex was brought in.
"Well, well, well if it isn't cupcake." Alex said stopping.
"I'm nothing to you." Robin said. "I have a life and a family."
"You'll never be free of me. I live in your blood." Alex said smirking.
"Go to hell." Robin said.
"You little bitch." Alex said stepping forward.
"I would watch it there Mr. King." Sonny said coming up. "I don't think any person here wants to here you call Robin these names."
"And who the hell are you?" Alex spat.
'I am Sonny Corinthos, do yourself a favor and remember that. Also remember that Robin is my friend and well any problems can and will be taken care of."
"Are you threaten to kill me."
"Trust me if I wanted to kill you it would happen." Sonny said.
Mac walked back out.
"Get that low life inside. We'll be starting soon." Mac snapped and the officers pulled Alex inside.
"Sonny, I don't want you to do anything that will get you taken away from your children." Robin said going up to him.
"I wont." Sonny said. "I am here for support."
"Thank you." Robin said. "Uncle Mac are we starting on time?"
"Yes, so we should all get in there." Mac said leading them all inside.
They all found seats, rose when told to and sat back down.
"We are here for the trail of Alexander King."
Alex stood looking smug.
"Mr. King is charged with seven counts of rape, seventeen counts of battery, three count of criminal conspiracy, one count of unlawful imprisonment, two counts of neglect and touchier and two counts of premeditated attempted murder. Member of the jury you will hear opening statements first."
"Is the DA ready for opening statements?"
"Yes your honor." Alexis said standing up.
"Is defense counsel ready?"
"Yes your honor."
"Ms. Davis the floor is yours."
"Thank you, your honor." Alexis said moving from behind her table. "We all see the man charges with these crimes. And we are all thing, how is that possible. But the victim knows all to well that looks can be deceiving. Alex King has committed all these crimes and we intend to show that each charge was done. One thing the charges don't show is that they were heinous acts of violence and that know one person should whiled power over anther the way Alex King did. don't let the expensive suit fool you. don't the the smile charm you. Look at the victims Robin Scorpio and Patrick Drake and see there pain. The state will prove without a doubt that Alex King should be head accountable for his actions and the time for justice is here."
Alexis moved and sat back down.
"Mr. Alpine are you may give you opening statement now."
"If it please the court we don't have an opening statement. We would like to move on to testimony."
"Very well, Ms. Davis call you first witness."
"We call Monica Quartermaine."
Monica stood and went to the bench. She was sworn in.
"Mrs. Quartermaine, can you tell us how you know the victims Robin Scorpio and Patrick Drake?"
"I work with Patrick Drake at General Hospital. And I am Robin's doctor."
"Can you tell us the existents of Ms. Scorpio's injury?"
"Robin was under nourished, had extensive bruising, and a sprained wrist."
"These are just her physical injuries correct?"
"Yes."
"On the date of July 19th, what happened when Robin and Patrick were rolled into the ER?"
"I working the ER that day with Patrick dad Noah Drake. It was about eleven when they came in. Patrick and Robin were unconscious. Patrick was bleeding heavily from the stomach were a knife had split nearly split him in two. I took his case. Patrick was operated on. He lost a lot of blood and had some nicks to the liver. Patrick flat lines three times. Soon he in a room mending with a blood transfusions. I went to see how Robin was doing. They were getting ready to operate and I scrubbed in. She was in bad shape. She was bleeding from a number of places. I working on the chest wound. Dr. Lee worked on the bleeder from her uterus. Dr. Drake and Dr. Alan Quartermaine worked on the stab wound to the back of her neck. Robin flat lined twice and stopped breathing two times."
"What other injuries did she have?"
"She had a bleeder in the brain but she wasn't stable enough to do surgery on. We monitored her and learned the bleeder was pressing on her brain making it so she couldn't wake up. She was operated on a the day Patrick woke up. They were able to take the pressure off. However there was a bleeder in a vital part of the brain and as skilled as Dr. Noah Drake was he had never preformed this surgery successfully so when we learned that she was bleeding more heavily and the risk was higher, Patrick Drake stepped in and preformed the operation and saved her life.
Many more took the stand. Robin thought it was odd, that Alex's lawyer wasn't questioning much. Then it dawned on her. The judge called for a lunch break. As soon as Alex and his lawyer were gone she told everyone.
"I know what game they are playing?" Robin said.
"What?" Alexis said.
"Alex and his lawyer. Why their not questioning everyone. Alex is waiting for me to get on the stand and then he is going to fire his lawyer. He is playing mind games with me."
"Are you sure?" Anna asked.
"Yes, Alex spent years watching court TV and Movies. He knows what he is doing. He has a back ground in law. He was once a lawyer who got disbarred for something. Alex wants to get me on the stand and show that I wanted him. That I let him do those things to me."
"Ok, look calm down. I am going to go talk with Judge Carse about this." Alexis said. "Why Don't you try and eat something, you and Patrick are up after the lunch break."
Alexis walked towards the judges chambers.
"How about we go to Kelly's. It is right down the street." Sonny said.
"Sounds good." Robin said.
They all left for lunch wondering how the afternoon was going to go.
Warning after the lunch break things get going. But it gets more graphic so please beware.
