The courtroom doors opened.My mother walked in.Alina Vale looked exhausted, but she was standing.Alive.My heart jumped.“Mom.”She looked at me.For a second, her expression softened.Then she looked at Victor.And her face changed.Fear.Victor stared at her.“You.”Alina said nothing.The judge’s voice echoed through the chamber.“Witness number one, approach the stand.”Lucien stepped toward my mother.“What are you doing here?”Alina looked at him.“They brought me here to testify against Victor.”Victor laughed bitterly.“Of course they did.”I turned toward the judge.“This is a setup.”The judge didn’t respond.A government prosecutor stepped forward.“Victor Hale is accused of participating in the original Black Veil experiments, kidnapping children, and assisting in the creation of Sovereign.”Victor’s eyes hardened.“I was a child.”The prosecutor ignored him.“Mrs. Vale, do you recognize the defendant?”Alina looked directly at Victor.“Yes.”“Did you hire him?”“Yes.”
