thirty-days. Ms. Berry, as well, you
will need to bring Kyle Brewer, Jr. to a laboratory that is also from that list
for testing within the same thirty-day period. The results will be sent to me
and I will announce the results on, let’s see . . . that will be September 28 th .
That’s a Tuesday, at 8:30 in the morning in this courtroom. From there we will
proceed depending upon those findings. If the test is negative, the case will
be closed, and if it is positive, and if confirmed that Mr. Wilson is the
father, I will proceed to the next phase and order child support, and also
issues of custody and name change will be addressed at that time. Is that
clear?” He looked at Torino first.
    Attorney Phillips whispered in
Torino’s ear. Then Torino said, “Yes, Your Honor.” Torino’s head nod
accompanied his words.
    Then the judge looked at Colette.
    “Yes, Sir.”
    “And I see that back-child support is
requested. Is that correct, Ms. Berry?”
    “Yes, it is.” She tilted her head to
the side.
    “Has Mr. Wilson paid any monies for
this child, or spent time with the child?”
    She fingered the strands of her wispy
bangs. “No. Sir.”
    “Is it your claim that the child was
conceived in California?”
    “Yes, Sir.” Colette shifted her weight
from her left leg to her right.
    “Okay.” He began writing again.
“Please see the clerk for the list of court approved laboratories, and this
case will continue on September 28th. Any questions?”
    “No, Your Honor.”
    “No. Sir. I understand.”
    “See you back here then.” He closed
the file and handed it to his assistant, taking another file in hand. “Next
case.”
    As the judge read the names and file number
of the case to follow, the attorney walked over to get the list of laboratories
from the clerk. Torino stood back, waiting for Colette to gather her papers and
step away first. She did slowly with just as much flavor as when she entered.
She didn’t look at Torino, but simply stepped down the aisle toward the door
with Kyle hurrying up to position himself right behind her.
    By the time Torino and Sequoia made
their way to the door and exited the courtroom, Colette and Kyle were standing
right outside the door.
    Kyle could be heard saying something
to Colette about her forgetting to get the list.
    Standing within three feet of them,
Torino spoke first. “Hey, Colette.”
    “Hi.” She kept her eyes on Sequoia,
head to toe.
    “Kyle.” Torino said.
    Kyle replied. “Hey, man.” He looked to
Sequoia, “Hi.”
    Half way between Sequoia greeting
Kyle, Colette said as though in a sudden rush, “Come on, Kyle. Let’s go.”
    Kyle gave Mason a head’s-up nod and
Sequoia waved to Kyle as they headed toward the elevator. Kyle waved back. Colette
had her back to them, only looking behind for a second to make sure Kyle right
there. He was.
    Sequoia continued watching Colette
walk.
    Attorney Phillips came out and said,
“That was quick, huh?”
    “It was,” said Torino. “Is it usually
like that?”
    “This was just to order the test.
Plus, it looked like they have a lot of cases to get through today. Sometimes
the next phase gets more involved. But I’m hoping we won’t need to deal with
the child support phase. That’ll be addressed the next time.”
    “Okay.”
    “Here.” He handed Torino a paper.
“This is the list of laboratories. Go ahead and get that swab done. Don’t wait.
A month can go by fast. Let me know once you get it done. The results will be
sent to the court.”
    “Will do.”
    “Bye,” the attorney said to Sequoia.
He then walked away.
    “Good bye,” she replied almost a
moment too late, seeming preoccupied.
    Torino noticed. “You okay?”
    “I am. You?”
    “I am.” He folded the paper and they
began to walk.
    “That was interesting, to say the
least.”
    “It was.” His words were brief.
    She said, “I’ll tell you one thing.
Colette and Kyle look stressed.”
    “I know.” Torino took his vibrating
phone out of
