I stood tall in the courtroom, feeling the weight of the moment as the eyes of the judge and prosecutor turned to me. "Your honor," I began, "it's true that Miss Salisia lost her copy of the receipt. It was stolen from her room during the recent burglary."
"Objection!" Prosecutor Fritz interrupted. "I believe we have established the gist upon this matter, Mr. Gunawan. Investigations show the missing items were valuable accessories and cash. There's no mention of a receipt. Therefore, we have no evidence that she ever had it."
I raised a hand calmly. "While that may be true from an initial investigation, during my own, I uncovered the very copy of the receipt that should have belonged to Tia."
The courtroom fell into murmurs, and the judge leaned forward. "Do you have this evidence with you, Mr. Gunawan?"
"But of course." I nodded, reaching into my coat. Before I could present it, Jack exploded from his seat, his arm swinging wildly through the air.
