"The prosecution may call its first witness." Judge Ed suggested.

"The People call the owner of the car." Henry stated.

The Bailiff takes the witness to the witness stand.

"Please stand. Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the
testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" The clerk reassured.

"I do." The car owner said. 

"Please state your first and last name." The clerk said.

"George Clifford."

"You may be seated." The clerk commanded.

"Please spell your last name for the record." Reporter added.

Henry stand up, " Mr. George, where do you work?

"I own Martinez Car Sales."

"What is the address of your business?"

"102 Main Street, Martinez."

"Were you working there on November 8th?"

"Yes, I was."

"Was one of the cars you had for sale a 2004 red Corvette
license number 5CBX239?"

"Yes."

"Did you see the car on the lot on November 8th?"

"Yes. The car was there when we closed that night."

"Did you see the car again on November 9th?"

"No. It was missing when I got to work that morning."

"Where were the keys to the Corvette when you left on November 8th?"

"They were locked in the sales office."

"Where were the keys when you came back the next morning?"

They were still locked in the sales office."

"Did you file a stolen car report with the police?"

"Yes, I did."

"Had you given anyone, including the defendant, permission to take or drive the Corvette?"

"No, I did not."

"Thank you, I have no further questions."

"Does the defense have any questions?" Judge Ed, once asked.

"Not at this time, Your Honor." Rachel answered.

Her mind isn't working for now. How can he assured that her client will get a true verdict?

You shouldn't be affected.

She started to walk outside the Superior Court when Henry called her.

"Oh Henry?"

"Tulala ka kanina ah? I'm not used to it. Give me a hard fight Atty. Guidotti."

"Ang hangin mo rin e 'no Atty. Sy?" She laugh a bit in what he said.

"Eto naman, biro lang naman. Kumain ka na ba ng lunch?"

"Ah, eto going out pa lang to eat."

"Sabay na tayo, if you don't mind." He smilingly said.

"I wouldn't mind. But others will. Tayong magkaaway sa korte, magkasamang kumakain? That's ridiculous, Atty." She laughs again with the thought of being with his Deputy Atty.
