Mia steps out from her car, one hand holding her bag the other holding her phone to her ear, she's on the phone with a client as she enters the building her law firm MGS Legal services.
The sound of her heels clinking on the tiles gave away her arrival even before she could be seen. She walked straight to the counter where Patricia her secretary was seated.
Good morning ma, Patricia said
Mia ended the call.
Morning Patricia, schedule an appointment between Mr Samuel and I by 12 PM to discuss the details of the case any other appointment can come after that. Mia said and walked straight to her office.
Hours passed and Mia had closed for the day she walked into her dojang the noise of grunting, heavy breathing and kihaps overwhelmed everything, she walked straight to her coach, bowed and went into the changing room to put on her dobok.
Tracy and Mia were best friends and sparring partners since childhood so when the coach gave the Hong, Chung order to both of them telling them to get on the mat for sparring it was no surprise.
The sparring was no joke, one will wonder how both of them stayed as best friends after watching them spar. Tracy was always the aggressive yet playful fighter, all Mia had to do was fake an attack and Tracy came in with everything she had throwing side kicks, back kicks, roundhouse kicks all at once while Mia was dodging and blocking everything Tracy's attacks didn't give her space for any counter. She was setting up an axe kick when Tracy suddenly turned giving her a spin hook to the head, Tracy let her guard down to admire her kick and laugh at Mia and that was all Mia needed, she gave her a front kick, a roundhouse to the chest and an axe kick that sent Tracy face first to the mat. The coach ended the fight because both Mia and Tracy were bleeding from their noses. He corrected Tracy for the umpteenth time to stop admiring her kicks.
In the changing room, Mia just got off the phone with Patricia about a case she was handling.
Hey Mia, we're going out tonight. It's not up for debate, Tracy said while putting on her shoes.
Mia laughed lightly and said "Not with that bruised face of yours moreso I have a court hearing tomorrow it's the final hearing for a case it's very important.
But Tracy wasn't taking no for an answer she coaxed Mia until she agreed to go on the condition that they were going to leave before midnight.
The club had always made Mia uncomfortable, the crowd, the noise, the dim coloured lights always made her lose interest, she was always more of a tea party girl Tracy was always the reason she clubbed always complaining about her not having a life. It was approaching midnight and Mia couldn't seem to find Tracy who went to dance with a guy at the dance floor she asked Mia to follow her but Mia refused. Mia stood up looking to and fro for Tracy she finally saw her being led by 2 men through the back door of the club Tracy couldn't walk on her own she was too intoxicated to walk, Mia grabbed both their bags and ran downstairs to meet them
They had already taken Tracy to an alley and were trying to take advantage of her. Mia ran to where they were, she pushed them off and tried to lead Tracy away from there but one of the men stood in her way.
Move, I'm a lawyer and what you were about to do was r**e which will get you at least seven years in prison, now move before I call the cops, Mia said looking them straight in the eye.
The first man walked closer while the other man cornered her from behind. She sat Tracy down on a pavement in the alley and took a fighting stance. She issued a final warning
"Let my friend and I go I'm not going to ask again"
The men laugh and one tries to grab her, she dodged it and kicked him in the groin, the man from behind swung at her, she dodged it, blocked the second one and gave him a palm strike to his nose he bent over holding his bleeding nose, both men were writhing in pain. She helped Tracy who wasn't even aware of what was going on around her as she led her out she saw a cop patrol vehicle and reported the incident to the police. She led Tracy to her car, put her in the front seat and started driving home?
She looked at Tracy while driving "Silly girl how'll you survive without me"
