Trying hard not to be distracted about the threat to her, she called another witness to the stand. "State your name for the court." "Ben Williams."

Williams sat in the chair as if he'd done this all of his life. When she'd talked to him as a witness, he'd fidgeted the whole time. Having coached him on sitting still, she almost smiled that he ended up being so still. "10 Hunt Lane." She nodded at him. "And you live how close to John Sheffield?" "I am, er, was his next door neighbor," Ben said. "And on the night he was killed, do you remember what you were doing?" Lauren looked at the jurors to gauge their reaction to her witness.
