It’s so wrong. But Mom’s face won’t leave my head. The way she smiled at me last week even though she could barely keep her eyes open. And Mara’s angry texts. And Jonah’s drawings of monsters. And Miles on parole, one mistake away from going back to prison, calling me every week asking for money because he can’t hold down a job, can’t sleep, can’t function. And me.

Behind them were the suspects, hauled in one by one, and forced to their knees. Each of them had that pale expression that men get when they realize their life is no longer theirs to command.

He was the kind of man that wouldn't flinch even if death was staring him

Charges dismissed. Miss Kerr, you are free to go.” I close my briefcase, and smiling I turn to Madeleine who is just standing there eyes still wide open. “What just happened?” she asks. “I kept my promise,” I whisper. “I always keep my promises. Go with the bailiff, I’ll meet you out front.” “Case number four, eight, two eight dash one,” the clerk announces in the same, clipped tone. “The People vs. Leah Thomas. Charge: Attempted murder in the second degree.”

“It’s more than just a job with you. It’s dedication. You’ve got something special, Winter. This place wouldn’t be the same without you.” I felt a flicker of pride, though I tried not to show it too much. His words lingered, though, grounding me in the reasons I'd chosen this life. Then I noticed him reaching for a brown envelope on his desk. "This, though, is something else." He held it out for me to see. I opened the envelope, staring at it in curiousness. "A new case?"
