A/N: Last time was the first half of Warren's trial, where we saw James, Warren's half-brother, who caused a train crash five years ago.

"Mum, is that man dad's step-brother?" Nita asked, looking at me.

"Yeah," I mumbled under my breath. "I never told you because James is a bad man, Nita. He caused a train crash five years ago. He should've been charged, but the Judge thought it was all an accident, because he was only an 'innocent teenager'. So he got off stock-free." I told her, trying to keep my voice low.

"Warren brought me to the trial because we were all there when James did it, but the Judge didn't believe us, she thought we were all drunks. But Warren's always despised James, why's he gone soft all of a sudden?"

My phone beeped, signalling I'd got a text.

Sender: Adam

What's goin' on with Warren? Who's that guy with him?

I quickly wrote a reply.

To: Adam

It's Warren's half-brother. He caused a train crash 5 yrs ago. He shouldn't be here. Warren's gone soft. He's always hated James, 'cause the Judge didn't send him down. She thought James was innocent, but I and Warren were there. We saw it.

Message sent.

The text flashed across the screen.

"And defending Mr. Trueman will be?" asked the Judge.

"Sam Hartigan, sir," the lawyer told Mr. Hughes.

"Okay, we'll begin. Can I have Mr. Hartigan and Mr. Trueman up first please?" asked the Judge, who was rummaging through some papers on his desk, waiting for Sam to help Adam down to the front.

"Mr. Trueman, is it correct that exactly two weeks ago, Mr. Clements physically assaulted you? And also two weeks and four days since he also tried to murder you?" asked the Judge.

"Yeah, Warren planted a bomb in the ED staffroom, and it went off while I and his wife were still inside," Adam told him. I felt my cheeks blush, so I dipped my head, listening to what Adam was telling them.

"I and his wife work together, and we were both in the hospital when it went off. Luckily, we both got all the patients out before it went off," he told them, but I saw Warren fidgeting over in the other side of the courtroom.

"I OBJECT!" screamed Warren, and I stood up. "THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED, YOU LIAR!" he shouted.

"Mr. Clements. If you could please restrain yourself, and calm down. You can give your own statement once Mr. Trueman has finished. Now, carry on sir," said the Judge.

Warren sat down and shut up.

Nita tugged my arm and I also sat down, regretting what was about to happen.

"When I and Nurse Clements were trying to defuse the bomb, with help from the fire and rescue services, I requested that they would remove Staff Nurse Clements from the room, as I thought it would put her at risk also.

"A member of the crew entered the room and escorted her, leaving me to remove the bomb with the other crew. But I dropped the bomb, causing it to explode, and the staffroom also. Nurse Clements must've made her own way back into the hospital, not caring for her own safety, alerting the rescue crews to find us. Before they managed to find us, however, the ceiling collapsed on top of us, causing us both multiple injuries." Adam finished.

Sam stepped forward and asked, "May I bring Mrs. Kirsty Clements and Dr. Zoe Hanna to the stands please, your honour?"

The judge nodded, so I and Zoe made our way to the stands.

"It'll be alright!" Zoe whispered, squeezing my hand.

"Mrs. Clements was it true that you were there when the bomb was found?" asked the Judge, who was staring me in the face.

"Yes, your honour." I replied.

"And did you see the bomb, even if you weren't there when it actually exploded?" he asked, and again I replied with, "Yes, sir."

"Mr. Trueman tells us that you made your own way back into the building of your own accord. Is this true?"

"Yes, sir," I kept saying, to all the questions.

"Did you see the attack upon Dr. Trueman? Were you there in person?" he asked.

"No, sir. But I did see what happened through a live security camera; so I made my way down there with security. Then I realised the attacker was my husband." I explained, shooting a glance at my husband.

"Right. Dr. Hanna, anything to add?" the Judge asked Zoe.

"Yes, actually, your honour," she told him, I and Adam both shot her a look of confusion.

"Kirsty told me the day after the attack that she was domestically abused by her husband, Mr. Clements. She also told Adam, Dr. Trueman, the only other person she could trust," she told the Judge, Nita gasped from within the crowd, so did the rest of the team from work.

"Is this true, Mrs. Clements?" the Judge asked me, I looked at Adam, Nita, Warren and Zoe in turn.

"Yes, sir." I said, looking over towards Warren again, who was overcome with fury.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL THEM, YOU COW?" he yelled across the courtroom, standing up. James had to restrain him to stop Warren from running across to me and strangling me.

"Right, I think we've come to a suitable decision," said the Judge, who banged his mallet on the table, demanding silence.

"Warren Clements, you will receive a life sentence in jail, for domestic and physical abuse, also attempted murder." The Judge said, "Guards, if you would arrest Mr. Clements?"

"GET OFF ME, YOU CAN'T DO THIS! I'LL GET YOU ADAM TRUEMAN!" Warren yelled across the room, struggling against the grip of the guards. They threw him to the floor and restrained him there.

I burst into tears, Adam, Nita, Jay and Zoe rushed over to me.

"Get me out of here," I sobbed, turning my back on Warren. Zoe led me and Nita outside, and Jay helped Adam out also. "Let's go home," I told Nita, who was clinging onto my shoulder.

"Yeah, let's," Nita agreed. "Can Adam come too?" she asked, looking for her favourite doctor.

"Adam, do you want a lift?" I asked, looking at him and wiping my eyes.

"Yeah, thanks, give us a hand?" he asked, hobbling over to us. I grabbed his elbow, while Nita opened the passenger door. He slumped into the seat, and buckled himself up, which was considerably easier now we'd both had our casts off the week before.

"Love you," Adam whispered to me once I'd got into the car myself.

"I do too," I answered, smiling and beginning to lean in.

"I'm still here you know!" Nita said, breaking us up. We all burst into laughter. Now we could be a happy family.

All was well.

A/N: Wow, well I enjoyed writing that. KADAM! It's not over yet, though. More chapters to come! Ideas and reviews are much appreciated.
