The trial was about to begin and everyone had filed into the courtroom, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous Electra daughter about to get hers at the hand of the law.any were students from Yellow Meadows High School and Mina noticed that all of the nerdier cliques were there. The glee club, the chess club, the anime club and even the Eagle Attorney club who debated the comedic trials of the twenty year old video game. All had been picked on relentlessly by Victoria and Brad and they were thirsty for a legal blood bath.

The winter grey sky made the courtroom look dull and dreary, and Mina felt the same. Without either of her main squeezes, Raven and Blind, there was a lack of confidence in her posture as she stood behind the defense stand. Everyone in the court room glared at her for defending such a mean girl.

"I'm a strong and independent woman," she told herself. "I don't need no man...but uh...handsome male cheerleaders would be nice!"

Across from her at the prosecutors desk, Lawvis Cresley relaxed as he read his court documents while cramming a peanut butter and banana sandwich into his mouth.

"The king of rock 'n roll would be proud in his choice of diet, but probably not his nutritionist," Mina remarked and she gazed over at her client.

Victoria was hastily applying makeup on her face, smearing on some yellow lip gloss and attempting to mimic her normal perfection outside of the court room. "Wait a minute," Mina remarked. "How did you get that makeup kit? Weren't you in jail?"

Victoria merely shook her head and scoffed. "My girlfriends managed to smuggle me an emergency touch up kit last night. They're already doing a much better job than you, brunette."

If it wasn't for the pay and an innocent puppy dog at stake, Mina would gladly send Victoria back to prison for being the rudest client she ever had. "Water off a ducks back," she repeated to herself. "Water off a ducks back."

Victoria continued to sneer and moan in Mina's ear. "I just hope they come soon...I want my kale shake and diet pills. My waist gained a whole inch from being forced to eat normal food in jail."

The doors of the courtroom opened, revealing Divine Justice, her large girth displayed behind a black judges robe. As she strutted down the aisle, Victoria muttered, "Speaking of diets, get a load of Aunt Fanny over here."

The judge's keen ears perked upon hearing the slander. "Did I just hear what I think I heard?" the judge rasped angrily. "Did this blonde toothpick just say I need to go on a diet?"

Victoria raised her eyebrows. "And what if I did? What are you gonna do? Arrest me? I'm already in jail."

"No," Divine said, crossing her arms. "I'm just gonna instill some wisdom into your Malibu Harley brain. Not everyone likes a six inch waist, darling. Some men like my hubby like a little something extra! And as the top court judge it's good to be large and in charge!"

Victoria rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I could just pay you off anyway and get my freedom. I'm certainly rich enough."

The judge shook her curly head of hair and raised her gavel like she'd knock Victoria silly with it. "No ma'am, no spam, no green beans and ham! Not only have you just insulted me...you've insulted just insulted the entire institution of justice!"

Mina did a double gulp as the furious judge continued her tirade. "Anyone accused of murder is going to face my lawful fury. And because you've attempted to spite me missy, I'm gonna come down extra hard on you...and especially your lawyer!"

Mina sunk lower and lower into her podium. Her client's obnoxiousness had just incurred the wrath of Divine Justice. And she was about to feel the weight of the law...literally.
