Flack sat outside the huge double doors, elbows on his knees, leaning forward and staring at his hands.
Waiting.
They were inside, relaying their decision. Making their judgment, not only on the defendant but also on his ability to do his job. On how good of a cop he was on a solo case. On his first solo case.
The doors opened, people filing out and talking excitedly to one another. But he couldn't hear a word they said, it was as if he was underwater. Finally Bloomfield came out, grinning like a madman.
He began to relax, even before the Assistant District Attorney said a thing. He already knew.
"We won," Bloomfield said, clapping him on the back. "He's going to be behind bars for the rest of his life. Thanks to your testimony. Good work."
