Chapter 11: Lawyered
(Warning: Swearing)
(Third person)
Remy made his way into the court room with Logan, hoping Virgil was ready to testify.
Delilah was already sitting at the desk, her lawyer Damian next to her. "That's the best lawyer in the business.." Logan muttered to Remy.
"Oh sweetie, You clearly havnt seen me go up against him." Remy chuckled, walking over and sitting down on Damian and Delilah's desk. "Hey de de~"
Damian's expression changed from snarky to scared. "Please don't tell me you're the one going against us." Deceit grumbled.
"You know it babes." Remy blew a kiss to the strange looking lawyer before heading over to his own table. Logan chuckled.
The court session went underway, Damian being the first to start questioning.
After several hours of getting nowhere, Logan go called up to the stand. "Now Logan, I understand that you lost custody over Virgil because of an abuse problem correct?" Deceit asked.
"No. That was a lie." Logan bit his lip, hoping everything goes well.
Deceit smirked, knowing full well it was a lie. "Im through with my questioning."
Remy looked confused. "That was the shortest questioning I ever seen." The sunglasses wearing lawyer stood up. "Next witness." Remy requested. "I would like to call Virgil Sanders to the stand."
Delilah visibly froze, turning to see her son walk down the courtroom isle. He wore a purple button up and a black tye. Instead of the black suit jacket his father leant him, he wore is large hoodie. The bruises on his face visible along with his limp. He walked up to the stand, took the oath, and sat down.
"Alright Virgil, may I ask, how you got those bruises on your face?" Remy asked.
Virgil was very anxious. "M-my mother hit me. She has been for years now. I uh... Have more bruises on my body." Virgil sunk into his hoodie slightly.
The jury gasped and looked towards Delilah.
"Alright Virgil, if you had to choose to live with one of your parents, who would you choose? You're old enough to decide now." Remy explained.
"I want to live with my dad, Logan Sanders. He is a kind man." Virgil said with a bit more confidence now.
Remy nodded. "Im through with my questioning." He moved and sat down by Logan.
De skipped his questioning, trying to think of something.
Remy stood again. "I'd like to call Delilah to the stand."
Delilah tensed but complied, heading up and sitting down.
"Okay Delilah. Is it true that you have current custody over Virgil Sanders?"
Delilah only nodded.
"Okay. Is it true that you struck the boy several times within these past few months?"
Delilah was tense, but nodded.
"Is it true that you gained custody by saying that Logan abused you and Virgil?" Remy had a serious face.
"Yes." She finally spoke.
"Was that claim a lie?"
Delilah was dome with all of this. "Yes! I lied to get Virgil. No kid should be raise by a gay man! It's just not right!"
"No more questioning. We have made our decision." The jury spoke, nodding towards the judge.
The judge nodded and stood. "Logan Sanders hereby has full custody of Virgil Sanders. Delilah is sentenced to twenty years in prison for abuse amd lying on the stand." The judge hit his gabble, ending the court room session.
Logan stood, a huge smile plastered on his face as he looked around for Virgil. Virgil came running up, leaping into Logan's arms. The Doctor of science heald his son close, tears spilling over is eyes. "She's never going to hurt you again.."
"I know." Virgil smiled up at his father.
