  Sarilyn blinked, and looked at Billy, suprised at the offer.

  "Are you serious?"

  Billy grinned again, and nodded.  "Sure am.  I think it might be fun to
go to court.  Might end up being an adventure."

  Sarilyn shook her head.  "Not likely, remember the reason we're
going..*if* Rhia let's you go at all.  Though I can't see why she
wouldn't...Sherri is your mother."

  She hmmm'd, and gestured at the clothes racks.  "You'll need something
to wear, that's certain."  Then she shrugged...grabbing Billy's hand.
"Let's go ask Rhia if you can even go at all."

  Tugging Billy behind her, Sarilyn headed for Rhia's office...and knocked
on the door.

  "Come in!" was heard from the other side.

< In Rhia's office >

  Sarilyn stepped inside, and Billy followed.  "Rhia, M'am?  Billy has
something to ask you."

  Billy gave Sarilyn a look...put him on the spot, huh?  But he turned to
Rhia and grinned..knowing she wasn't able to see it.

  "I was wondering if I might be able to go to court...with Sarilyn, as
sort of moral support when she testifies?"

  Rhia looked slightly suprised, as if she hadn't expected this request at
all.  And she took a few moments to think.
