    Held in Contempt

    "Of course you’re not," Alice said with a grin.
    "I just need to make this case go away."
    "Absolutely."
    Tina wanted the case to go away. But what she didn’t want, was for Bette to go with it.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    "I understand an agreement has been reached," Judge Robinson spoke from the bench.
    "Both sides have agreed on a plea bargain," Tina replied.
    "You’re both amenable to this deal?" the judge nodded towards Bette.
    "My client feels this is a fair and equitable solution, given the misunderstanding that brought him in front of the court," Bette replied.
    "This ‘misunderstanding’ means he’ll be pleading guilty," the judge continued. "He won’t be standing in the corner for his sentence."
    "Of course your honor," Bette said. "I mis-spoke. He is perfectly aware of the consequences of pleading guilty as per the agreement presented to you this morning."
    They completed the final details of the plea agreement before the judge discharged the jury and the accused was taken into custody to start his sentence. 
    "A moment in chambers, counsellors?" the judge said as she stood. "It will only take a moment."
    Tina and Bette nodded to the judge and left their paperwork behind for their respective co-counsel to gather. They took seats, at the judge’s invitation, across from where she sat down.
    "I have to say, I was surprised to hear you two had reached a settlement after the fiasco of yesterday afternoon," the judge said. "I’d like to think the threat of a contempt charge helped bring you to your senses, but I’m not so vacant as to think being chastised by the likes of me swayed you in the least."
    "I apologize for my behavior your honor," Tina said. "I assure you, it’s a rare event for me to lose my temper."
    "Indeed, it is rare," Judge Robinson noted, before turning to Bette. "Ms. Porter, I get the impression you’re a bit too smug at this conversation."
    "Not at all, your honor," Bette said. "Astute observation, that emotions were running high between us yesterday. It was appropriate for you to get us in line again. I too apologize that we necessitated such action on your part."
