Knowing Ben would take care of the little problem of Daniel-Edison Ath, Annie touched up her make-up. The past 10 years after leaving the District Attorney's office have not been the easiest on her.

Annie skimmed her notes for today's trial. The client; a man, mid 30's, rap sheet longer than the Amazon, as guilty as sin. Annie knew she would get a not-guilty verdict, remembering her blouse, "Maybe the meeting with Ben was a blessing in disguise," she thought out loud.

"All rise for the Honorable Judge Henry Lakewood," proclaimed the bailiff. The judge, an older man, takes his seat followed by the sound of everyone else sitting in unison that Annie knew all too well.

The prosecutor rose and walked to the jury, making sure to make eye contact with them all. "Ladies and gentlemen, today you will come face to face with not a man, but a monster. He single-handed caused the death of five..." His words trailed off in Annie's mind.

"Death," a simple work, with so much meaning, pounded away in Annie's head. This late morning, every time she head it, it was like years being cut off her life.

As the prosecutor kept going, Annie could feel her brain wishing to explode. She was strong, but this was too much. Annie quickly stood up, everyone expecting her to object to the blatant bashing of her client, instead all she did was run out of the court room as fast as her 3 inch heels would let her.
