Mina did not expect to find herself at the Clinically Awesome twice in two days. But desperate times brought desperate hospitalizations. Mina sat in the lobby, trying to process the horrid scene. She had just watched Ashley Ryan, Miss Infallible herself, be on the receiving end of a sniper attack and now she was in critical condition.

The culprit seemed quite obvious. Maxine Electra hiring an assassin to take out the prosecution? Only she could stoop to that low.

Even worse was the news Mina received from the chief herself. Her bushy brown bob shuffled and though her forehead was creaseless, there was worry on O'Law's brow.

She spoke to Blind and Mina with lack of her usual levity. "We've combed the whole perimeter of the Hall of Lawson and we still haven't found any sign of the shooter."

"That's terrible!" Mina said as Blind silently shook her head.

She was deeply worried for Ashley. They weren't exactly friends, but she still wouldn't want anything bad to happen to a fellow patron of the law.

"What's also terrible..." the chief answered drolly. "Is they managed to take out our most skilled prosecutor in the county."

Blind raised his eyebrows before O'Law added nervously. "Who's still in the biz, I mean. You really think Leisure Suit Lawvis or whatever his name is can handle a legal speed demon like Severus Silvermen?"

Mina's mouth dropped open. "Severus Silvermen?! Who the Winnebago is he?!"

Blind leaned back and shook his head. "Sev? He was another legal prodigy at Yarhard with me and Ashley. A defense attorney. People called him Unlucky Severus due to the fact that any prosecutor who went up against them would curse their fate. He was also called Severe Severus due to well, how serious and severe he was."

"My lawd," Mina remarked. "He had TWO nicknames? Most people in these games only have one."

"Save your fourth wall breaking for another time, pinky," the chief said, "because now we're really up Schitt's creek without a pooper scooper. Gary and Sherry Louse are probably going to have to use a major proseclown!"

"Or me..." Mina peeped up.

The chief's mouth dropped open even if her brow still didn't wrinkle. "You?"

"Right," Blind nodded and patted his girlfriend on the back. "I did suggest Mi-Mi and even if she are a wet behind the ears as a prosecutor, she is dry behind them as a defense attorney. When it comes to experience in the legal biz, she's a desert behind those ears!"

"So..." Rita O'Law answered, looking baffled. "What does that mean? Lengthy metaphors make me very confuzzled."

Blind stood up boldly. "It means, with my guidance, my mega talented attorney girlfriend will be the Louses' new prosecutor. Even Maxine won't see that coming from a mile away."

Mina stood up too. There was great fear in her heart after Ashley was shot up several times, but after what Maxine did to her, the president, and thousands of other innocent lives, it was time to power down the Electra company once and for all.
