I sat outside the courtroom waiting for everyone to be allowed in. Nigel wasnt there yet, so I had no one to calm me down. The trial was set to start in about 15 minutes. Nigel suddenly arrived and pulled me into a hug saying "I am so sorry I am late, are you doing okay Miranda? how long have you been waiting here?" the hug hurt a little since I didn't have breakfast, but I am not telling that to Nigel. He would freak. I just replied "Thats okay you're here now. I am doing okay, and I have been here for about 45 minutes because that's what the letter said to be here before the trial." I noticed that Nigel kept one hand behind his back, but I couldn't tell if he had a bag in his hand or if it was his folder. He sat down next to me and pulled out a brown paper bag. "What is this Nigel?" I opened it to find a blueberry muffin which was my favorite type of muffin. "Your husband called me right after you left. I was avtually here waiting for you, but when he called me I ran out to the nearest cafe and pucked up the muffin and a sparkeling water." he told me as he pulled a bottle of water out from inside his jacket. The courtroom doors opened and a police officer usherd us to the front table and to the right. Nigel helped me sit down because I looked like I was nervous and that wasn't good for the baby. We sat there trying to figure out what to ask emily first, when a police officer came put of a door and walked to the center of the front saying "All rise for the honorable Judge Greyson" Nigel helped me stand up just in time for the judge to walk out and up to his seat. "You may all be seated." the police officer stated before he swore in the jury. Then the judge spoke and made this whole thing more real then it is. "Good morning ladys and gentelman. We call the case of Miranda Priestly vs Emily Charleton on the crisis of blackmailing which has caused severe issues." the baby kicked at hearing the mans very stern voice. "Nigel who would you like to call up as your first witness." Nigel stood and said "I would like to call Andrea Sachs up to the stand." The judge nodded his head and Andrea walked up to the witness stand. After she was sworn to tell the truth Nigel started asking her questions.
Nigel: "Mrs.Sachs did Miranda tell you about any of this blackmailing buisness."
Andrea: "No, but I figured it out after Miranda had something major happen one day. Everyday around 2 o'clock Emily would pull out her phone and would send three texts to three different people. After Miranda was taken to the hospital Emily went to the bathroom without her phone. It was just sitting on her desk and it lit up so I looked at who it could be and saw that it was from Christian Thompson and it read "Good. Our plan is right on schedule. Good work."
Nigel: "Thank you Mrs. Sachs. I have no more questions your honor."
Andrea walked back to her seat and Nigel walked over to his seat which was next to me. I was suprisingly a little calmer after Andrea was up. The judge spoke once again "Nigel who is your second witness." Nigel looked at his paper and said "I would like to call up Steve Priestly" my head shot back to see my husband stand up and walk over to the witness stand my mouth was hanging down I didnt know Nigel was going to use my husband as a witness.
Nigel: "Mr. Priestly Did you know of the blackmail."
Steve: "No I did not. Not until I heard my wife was in the hospital. I then used our linked phone texts and looked at the most recent texts and founf the one she was in the hospital for."
Nigel: "So do you remember what the text said."
Steve: "Sort of. If it is okay with the Judge I would like to pull it up on my phone."
The judge nodded his head and my husband pulled out his phone.
Steve: "it read "Hello Miranda you dont know me but I know you. I want you to do everything I tell you, or if you choose to refuse that baby boy you call yours will never see the light of day.""
Nigel: "Did you ask Miranda about the text."
Steve: "No, because with the baby I didn't want her to get worked up. I asked you if you knew anything and you told me that you traced the number and it was Emilys."
Nigel: "Thank you Mr.Pirestly. you can return to your seat."
Steve: "if it is okay with the judge I would like to sit with my wife for the remainder of the trial please."
I gave the judge this look like I really needed him to say yes. I was getting nervous that the judge would say no. The judge nodded his head yes and my husband ran over to me and pulled me into a hug. Steve sat down next to me as the judge asked Nigel if there was anyone else he had questions for. Nigel eyed me and I nodded. "I would like to call up Emily Charleton to the stand." Emilys face lit up , she wasn't ready to confront everyone.
Nigel: "Mrs.Charleton can you tell me what this line reads in the first text."
Emily: " I want you to do everything I tell you, or if you choose to refuse that baby boy you call yours will never see the light of day."
Nigel: "Now would you please tell the court who told you to send this text and also who told you what to write."
Emily: "Christian Thompson told me to send the text and told me what to write."
Nigel: "Judge I have a tape recorder with her full confession on blackmailing. The only two people you would need to talk to are Christian Thompson and Jaquline Follet."
With that the judge dismissed the jury to collaborate on the final ruling. While they colaborated they dismissed the court to strech there legs. My husband and I walked out with Nigel and Andrea. "Thank you all for coming and helping me get through this." My husband gave me a sweet kiss. The police officer lead everyone back into the courtroom, were we all sat waiting for the judge to come back and give the ruling. The door opend and the judge walked out and sat down while being handed a piece of paper. "The ruling of the case of blackmailing between Miranda Priestly and Emily Charleton had been deliberated with every piece of evidence. The jury has ruled Emily Charleton guily and will serve 15 years in a penetentiry and will be a witness in the supreme court with Miranda against Christian Thompson and jaquline follet. Case dismissed." I was so happy. All of my family members have pulled me into a tight hug. I cant belive we won and it was all because of Nigel. I gave Nigel a kissed and then my husband suggested that I go home and get some sleep because today has been a nerve racking day. I agreed but actually must have been so tierd that I fell alseep on my Nigels shoulder and was out cold. I was so happy that I fell asleep smiling.
