Priscilla and Aquila page 17 by ric gustafson
Emperor Claudius stared at Marcus. " You claim to be the son of Laurentinus?".
Marcus smiled. " I am".
" Do you have proof?".
" Yes, this man's testimony".
Festus stepped forward. " I am Festus".
" You served this young man's father".
" I did my lord".
" Now that that was established". Claudius turned to Marcus. " What is your case?".
Marcus reached for Priscilla's hand. " I witnessed my father's murder".
" I'm listening".
" It was at the hands of my uncle".
" How did you survive?".
" Priscilla and Aquila took me in". He smiled at her. " They raised me as their own".
