My murderous crush

The Morning After

Mia got to the dojang. She filed a complaint with the police, but without an accurate description of her attackers, there was very little the police could do. She couldn't go home that night because she felt her house wasn't safe, so she crashed at Tracy's.

Tracy was surprised to see Mia at her house by 9 PM. She invited Mia inside, thinking she was still overwhelmed by emotions, just like the last time they had met.

Mia told her everything that had happened to her. Tracy was surprised, guilty, and angry all at the same time. She was surprised by what had happened to Mia and felt guilty that she hadn't been there to protect her. Her phone battery had died, and she had left it switched off while it charged. Lastly, she felt angry at whoever was behind the attack and swore to make them pay.

Both girls slept side by side on the same bed that night.

Mia opened her eyes. The morning sun shone directly on her face through the window. She used her hand to shield her eyes from the sunlight as she slowly sat up. She looked beside her, but Tracy wasn't there.

She got out of bed, arranged the duvets, made the bed, and stepped out of the room. As soon as she opened the door, she was greeted by the smell of freshly baked pancakes. She smiled to herself and went to the kitchen.

Tracy was standing by the gas stove, an apron over her dress, turning over the last batch of pancakes. She turned and saw Mia standing behind her. She told Mia to help her prepare the oats.

Mia stayed in the kitchen, helping Tracy with the cooking and chatting with her. They had breakfast together and left for work.

Mia knew who had planned her attack, and she was never one to let things slide. She was going to get even with him. She swore to put his son behind bars with a hefty sentence. She had no evidence of Hart's connection to her attack, but she had enough evidence to prove that his son, Jeremy, had assaulted his classmate, Jemima. She was going to make sure Jeremy was punished and that Hart watched his son being sentenced to prison.

Mia stopped by her office, grabbed all the case files, and drove to Gaby's Place, a fast-food restaurant downtown. She always went there whenever she was working on a case and the court hearing was approaching.

She had made it a habit to sit at a table in the restaurant, with a milkshake by her side and case files scattered all over the table. She would stay there for hours until she had prepared a complete game plan to utterly destroy her opponent.

She was usually a prosecution lawyer, and she took an aggressive approach to her cases, just like her fighting style.

She stuffed all the case documents into a briefcase and handed her keys to a valet before walking into the restaurant.

Alfred watched her from across the street.
