A/N: Set in S02E03.
Izzy stands trembling on the stand. Clive takes his time getting to his feet, taking a sip of water from the side. He smiles reassuring at Izzy.
"We've heard how the defendants started smashing up the restaurant, and your boss went upstairs to call the police. What did you do?"
"I went and hid," says Izzy, her voice barely audible.
"Could you speak up, please?" asks the judge.
Izzy clears her throat. "I went and hid in the back room. I waited about ten minutes. Then I could hear some of the boys — most of them — leaving. I thought it was safe to go back out there."
"And what happened when you went out there?"
"Two of them grabbed me, and another one came out of the darkness. That one." She points at one of the young men on the stand, the one Clive had seen singing in the chapel.
"Then what happened?"
"They forced me down on one of the tables. They were holding my arms. They held me face down on the table." Her voice breaks.
"It's alright," says Clive gently. "Take your time." He can see Milson rolling his eyes.
"I tried to get away but they were too strong. I could feel one of them pulling my skirt up from behind."
"Could you see who was doing what?"
"No. It was dark, and I was terrified. I just know there were two of them holding me down, and they were all shouting."
"What were they saying?"
"'Hold her down', 'pull her skirt up' 'don't let her get away'. They were talking about me like I wasn't there."
"How long were you held there?"
"It felt like ages, but it was probably only a few minutes." Izzy wipes a tear away.
"How did it end?"
"One of them, the one who wasn't holding me down, he pulled my knickers down and took them off. Then the others let go of me, they were all whooping and cheering."
"And what did you do?"
"I got off the table. I pulled my skirt down. I just wanted to get out of there. I ran to my car and I drove home."
"Thank you, Izzy." Clive sits down as Milson stands up, ready to begin the character assassination.
