"So after Maria and Jett testify I'm going to testify after them?" Kelli asked.

"Yes. They're going to ask questions about the day Delilah was taken and why you guys had a fight. So you need to be ready for whatever they throw at you." Ms. Lopez told her.

"Hey you got this babe." Kelli's boyfriend of four years said.

"Well Mr. Wessex, it looks like they have called you to the stand as well." Ms. Lopez said.

"Hey it's probably nothing, but look we got this." They smiled at each other.

Once 15 minutes, everyone was escorted back into the courtroom except for Maria and Levi who escorted to separate rooms.

"We call Maria Vasquez to the stand." The defense counsel said.

"Do you solemnly swear to the truth, nothing but the truth?"

"Yes I do."

"Ms. Vasquez ,tell me how did you meet Mr.Griffin?"Ms. Lopez asked.

"Before the facility, I had worked on other projects with him."

"So how did you end up in the facility?"

"He had talked to me one day asking if I wanted to join him on his new project he was working on. He didn't really tell me about how we would be experimenting on subjects."

"You never asked him about these subjects?"

"No, he didn't like-"Ms. López asked her question again.

"Simple yes or no. You didn't ask him about these subjects?"

"No."

"So can you tell the jury what exactly you did in the facility?"

"I was a supervisory agent. I watched over everyone as they roamed the facility, were in the testing sesion, eating, or I helped insert powers into them."

"How did you put these powers into them?"

"We had made a serum. It erases their memories and implants powers into them. It's like a shot."

"Did you ever leave the facility?"

"I didn't want to keep hurting innocent people. I drew the line and quit."

"Why didn't you do anything before?"

"I didn't think of anything at first but I was tired of doing it. I wanted to get everyone out."

"So like Ms. Monroe was still in the facility you didn't do anything until they escaped. Why is that?"

"I don't know." She mumbled.

"We can't hear you. What was that?"

"I don't know," Maria exclaimed.

"So a year later after everyone has gotten out of Griffin's reach, you get captured by Mr. Griffin and are under his control, correct?"

"Yes."

"Did we tell anything before you were put under his control?"

"He said how I was one of his best employees. We can rule the world side by side. I didn't want to. He forced me under his control."

"What else happened?"

"He made me put more powers into Kendall."

"For the record, she is referring to my client, Mr. Knight. Continue."

"Once Mr. Knight's friends arrived, me, Mr. Knight, Mr. Fleming, and Mr. Stetson were sent to capture them before they had a chance to ruin Mr. Griffin's plans. After that, I fell unconscious somehow and woke up to me being arrested."
