That night while everyone had gone to bed Criss and Klayton sat outside having a root beer.  "So did you hear anything about if the trial is still on since they threw out the first one?"Klayton asked.  "It's going to start up again and with the  stuff I found it may go better this time around" he replied.  "I hope to god they don't need me I can't go through it again"Klayton stated. 

"Tell me what was my father doing with you when your sister died"Criss inquired.  "I'm surprise you don't know this when my father saw me he blamed me because I wasn't there to help my sister than he dropped the knife and took off his belt.  I ran but he caught me and he started to whip me hard I was crying trying to get him off of me but he was too strong.  Than it stopped and I fell to the floor.  When I woke up in the hospital I looked and saw your father talking to police.  I was told later that your father drove by and heard me screaming because I left the door open.  He came in saw my sister's bloody body and heard me screaming.  He grabbed my father's Taser and he found me as my father was whipping me while holding me in a corner.  Your father tased him and fell to the floor.  After that he came over to me and saw my back bleeding he grabbed the table cloth and put it over my bloody back".

"Wow now I understand the bond you had with my father"Criss replied.   "I owed my life to your father and I always told him that until he passed away"Klayton replied wiping a tear from his face.  "To my father the best guy two guys ever knew"Criss toasted.  They clunked their bottles together and took a sip.  The next day Klayton went out while Criss was on the phone. 

"Felix relax I thought I'd stay here so I don't have to waste fuel if they call me-all right I'll find out" and hung up.  "Felix getting ansty about you being away" Dimitra inquired.  "Yea I should find out if they want me to testify or not before I have to look for a new job"Criss stated.  The door opened and Klayton came in.  "How you feeling?".  "I'm feeling great have you heard from Mr. Levine about the trial". 

By magic Klayton's phone rang.  "Hello-Mr. Levine how are you-yes I understand" and hung up.  "So what's going to happen?".  "If they want your father's testimony admitted into evidence I have to testify" he replied sweating a little.
