Joyce got up and walked over to the front of the room.

“So Mr. Roberts…when you were questioned by the police you said that there was a man chasing Ms. Kennard out of the building and now you’re saying that there wasn’t?”

“I made a mistake…so much was going on that night that it’s hard to remember”

“So nobody was chasing Ms. Kennard that night?”

“No…not that I know of”

“You have a security system with cameras in the building, is that correct?”

“Yes”

“Where are these cameras located?”

“There are two in the lobby and a couple in the stairs and hallways”

“So if Ms. Kennard is telling the truth there should be evidence on the videos from that night?”

“I suppose so” he said nervously.

“Where are these videos?”

“They have gone missing”

“That is quit a coincidence don’t you think?”

“I don’t know…”

“Have you lost any of the tapes in the past?”

“No this is the first time that I know of”

“So a woman gets attacked…and then the tapes from that same night goes missing right before the trial…sounds like someone is trying to hide something don’t you think?” Joyce asked the young man.

“I don’t know” he answered nervously.

“How about when Ms. Kennard entered the building that night…was she alone?”

“I must have been out smoking at that time…I didn’t see her enter the building”

“But you did see her leave earlier that night?”

“Yes”

“Was she alone then or was she with someone?”

“She was with Mr. Davis”

“Did anything seem alarming at that time?”

“No…they looked like a normal couple going out on a date”

“So you didn’t notice anything that seemed off?”

“No” Andrew said shaking his head.

“No further questions”

The female judge looked at the clock “Well I think that will be all for today” she said “This trial will be adjourned until tomorrow at nine am”

“What a hell just happened!?” Bette asked Joyce as they stepped outside the courtroom.

“He must have been bribed or threatened into lying” Joyce said shaking her head.

“This will never work now” Tina said as tears made their way down her face “He’s our only witness”

“This is not over yet” Joyce said looking at the couple.
