Logan leaves the courthouse
The doors behind him sound as loud and as forbidding as he's always imagined the gates of hell would sound. He leaves the courthouse just in time to hear his father pontificating about the glories of freedom, the joys of being acquitted, and he can't take it anymore. Logan turns on his heel, nearly slams into the court reporter, and barely makes it off the steps and away from the cameras before he is violently sick on the courthouse lawn.
Logan's erstwhile lawyer is the only one who sees him. "Cute," Cliff says in a tone that implies that a lack of cuteness is Logan's sole distinguishing characteristic. "Look, kid, you'd better get away from that mess before some screw-up from the local TV news crew spots it and it makes it onto E!True Hollywood story. Just a thought."
Logan mutters something under his breath and pushes past Cliff toward the steps, then stops. "I can't go up there," he says in a high, nervous voice. "I can't, I'll hurl again, and I won't make it to the bushes in time then."
Cliff sighs. "There's a back entrance, handicapped, because of course you wouldn't want to ruin the front of your courthouse for those poor paralyzed people or whatever. I'll take you around."
Logan follows, docile. It might seem all the fight's gone out of him, but that is not, in fact, the case.
He's just saving it up for later.
