Chapter 23 - THE BLOOD TRAY GOES TO COURT
The prosecution began with medicine.
Elias testified.
Bianca arrived dizzy.
No prescription sedative on her medication list.
He ordered routine labs and toxicology after she described feeling drugged following tea.
Gavin asked what the tray was for.
Elias told him.
Then Gavin knocked it away.
“No blood. She signs first.”
Hospital security video captured the act and audio.
Good evidence.
Then toxicology.
Laboratory scientist explained:
Initial screen.
Confirmatory analysis.
Medication present.
Not dosage speculation.
Not who administered.
Then pharmacy records.
Gavin’s old prescription.
No refill.
Then Lenora’s camera.
Video:
Tea.
Gavin’s hand.
Cup.
No visible pill identification.
Prosecutor did not pretend the pixels were chemistry.
Then messages.
Bring the old prescription?
You bring what you used before.
We need her calm, not sick.
Then searches.
Detection times.
Contract signing while medicated.
The pieces connected.
Defense attacked my role.
Correctly.
I had retaliated financially.
I had slapped Gavin.
I had called him a thief before evidence was complete? I had not publicly. Good.
They used what existed.

The prosecutor did not need me yet.
Bianca’s blood was stronger than my anger.
