Hearing Nikun's counter, Jas sniggered, "Agreed? Who?." He questioned Nikun to the point he ntioned. 'If Leon Harmon agreed to the kidnapping of my client, it ans he shares half the responsibilities of the mastermind.'
Jas turned to the judge and continued, "Your honor, I would like to ask permission to play the audio of my client's call."
Nikun didn't object and the judge announced, "Request granted."
Quickly the clerk took care of playing the audio in the courtroom for everyone to hear. A man's voice carrying an accent from country S sounded through speakers, 'Alert your team. Aarvi Evans left Skylar and she will be kidnapped.' Then the call hung up with a word from Leon.
Jas half shrugged his shoulders as he stated, "My client didn't agree or speak anything. The call ca and ended. How does this prove my client was involved?"
Leon smirked, even though it wasn't in his plan, it ca in handy. Now, how will Aarvi prove he had a hand in the failed attempt to kidnap.
Everyone looked at each other whereas Aarvi craved popcorn. Her play of chess was no different than Nikun's plan of slow revealing.
Jas, who confidently proved Leon had no hand in the kidnap, glanced at Aarvi. His confidence wavered, this woman!?
Judge Rowlatt noted down the point and lifted his head. He saw Nikun fetch sothing from the table, "Does the prosecution have anything to say?"
Leon's face changed color. Jas beca more alert. He had thought one accusation was down, but it seems to be like that.
"Yes your honor, allow to submit proof." He handed the court reporter a Pendrive again.
The court reporter looked at Nikun as if he was so alien. He was getting confused with so many pen drives.
Soon a video was played on the large screen. Leon furrowed seeing his office in the video.
From the angle, the cara was at the gap of the door. Leon had broken Dylan's mobile so sobody in the office stabbed him behind the back.
In the video, Leon answered a call and heard sothing. Then suddenly he shouted, 'Bugatti!? Who the f**k did they kidnap?' There was a pause, angry Leon was listening to the other end of the call and roared again, 'You f**king bastards, she always takes cars in the private parking of the basent. She never used the main entrance.' The call ended and the video too.
Jas Crawford: "..."
Leon had told to Jas that the number he used for calling his n was different and nobody knows so he was very confident before. Although Leon hadn't taken Aarvi's na, the work kidnapping was enough to take Leon under judicial custody for interrogation.
Aarvi smiled, adoring her husband in her heart. She wasn't alone in the battle, her husband walking right beside her.
On Saturday, when Aaron heard the audio sent by the cops about the kidnap, Aaron had imdiately overserved Leon's silence. So he had called Aarvi's team and asked them to instruct Lara to record Leon's room activity after faking Aarvi was caught. She got to know about it on Saturday.
Nikun spoke once the video ended, "I request to docunt that my client took her Bugatti Divo, right in front of her office." Nikun opened a file and handed the pictures taken by the security cara.
"If Leon Harmon is talking about my client, it ans he is keeping an eye on my client for a long ti and tried to kidnap my client. If he isn't talking about my client, We can easily conclude that Leon Harmon was a part of a kidnap plan of a lady. It is yet again a criminal offense." He calmly finished his words and shot a mocking glance at Jas. "That's all your honor." Nikun went to sit so that Jas could continue his questioning.
Leon's only hope, Jas Crawford. He looked at Jas desperately. Jas had assured him Leon could be out of the kidnap case and they will lie a little to get rid of another accusation.
Jas didn't lose his calmness yet. It was just the beginning. "Mrs. Rivas, how could you prove that you had no hand in the kidnap?"
Aarvi glanced at Jas and looked at the judge. "Your honor, with my life in danger, I possibly couldn't put another innocent life in jeopardy."
Dylan: "..."
Aarvi continued, "The Court rules - Rule 27, section 8.4 of the Official Secrets Act 33: It deems fit for keeping the identity and address of the witness secret. So I would like to request to send everyone away to present the witness."
Nikun looked at Aaron with a face full of blas. 'Who is the lawyer here?' Nevertheless, Aaron was admiring his wife.
Jas Crawford expected none as a witness. If he couldn't see or hear the statent of that person, the witness was of no use to him. However, it was very late for him to take back his words.
Judge asked the cops to vacate every person except for her, him, the clerk, and the court reporter.
After a few minutes, Dylan video called Aarvi and Elder Harmon entered inside through the jury door.
The judge was shocked to see Leon's own family was there to speak against Leon and support Aarvi.
Dylan confessed to the judge standing in so corner like he was playing with his mobile, "Your honor, I am the one who notified my grandfather about Leon's suspicious conversation. I was in the office with Leon at that ti."
Elder Harmon continued right after, "Your honor, I inford Aaron Rivas imdiately to take care of the situation."
The secret witness didn't need proof so without cross-questioning, the video call ended, and Elder Harmon glanced at Aarvi and left.
The judge, Rowlatt, looked at Aarvi and smiled helplessly, "Take a break for fifteen minutes. The session will continue." He stood up with the papers he had jotted down and went to his private room.
The court reporter followed Aarvi out to announce to the rest of the people about the break. Aarvi ignored and leaped into Aaron's arms, leaving everyone speechless.
When she got off, she complinted excitedly, "Brother Nick, you were so cool."
However, he gently flicked on her head, "Leave my job to . Just answer the question. Nothing more, nothing less." It wasn't because she might say anything wrong, they needed to hide so counters.
Aarvi pouted in dissatisfaction, but obediently agreed, "Okay."
Shawn who was also as clueless as her about the court matters, questioned, "I don't understand when all proofs are right there, what is the need of this session. Shouldn't he be sentenced right away?" Aarvi humd in agreent.
Nikun watched two friends. He realized why Aarvi had assud everything would be solved in a week if she had evidence. These two never followed or heard about court cases.
"You know the truth, I believe the evidence is true but others don't. They have no reason to believe us just because we have a video.
Sotis the sa scene could be predicted in multiple ways. Just like how my ntor easily proved Leon had no hand in the kidnap."
Shawn interjected, "That's why we shouldn't give him a chance to bluff."
Nikun shook his head and explained to them with an instance, "Let's assu you get a call and the call ends saying 'I killed a person as you said.' Does that an you were involved in a murder?... No. Hence we have court trials to make sure accused get a chance to prove themselves,"
"Ohhh…" Aarvi and Shawn looked at each other.
"This is tougher than I expected." Aarvi mused.
"Little Heart, your way of dealing is exciting than this."
Aaron and Nikun started hearing the two friends showing their dissatisfaction with the slow process of the court.
