Chapter 7

I ran with a speed and agility that I did not know I possessed. I was quick on the heels of Laura who was surprisingly even faster than I was. She had left me in the dust before she turned around and realized that I was no longer by her side. She stopped and turned around abruptly, and waited for me to catch up to her. She reached out her hand to me and I grabbed it, her larger hand clasped in my smaller one. In her hands, I felt the strength of one thousand warrior women, and in that moment, all fear, and doubts fled. Laura was by my side one hundred percent.

We finally made it to valet parking, where the limousine was patiently waiting. Laura quickly gave the driver, who had been dozing in his seat an urgent shake. He was quickly jarred awake and looked around confused, as if he did not know where he was. Had the situation not been so serious, I would have found the expression on his face comical.

“To Havenhurst! Quickly! Break every traffic rule that you can. We need to get the fuck out of here and we need to do it as quickly as humanly possible!”

The driver, catching on to the urgency of the situation, immediately followed Laura’s commands, and off to our destination we went.

My mind was reeling from the events of just moments past. A part of me felt elated, and more alive than I had ever in my life. I felt a sense of freedom that I had only read about in books or seen in a movie scene. Was the exhilaration a figment of my imagination? Had I actually just moments before nearly killed a man? No matter how I turned the scenario around, over and over, again and again, in my mind, the answer always came back yes. I had.

The only regret that I had was that I had not finished Darren Wilson off. But what a mess that I had made. What was going to happen to me?

Laura must have been a mind reader. “You’re in a totally different bracket now. You can’t go back to jail. You’re too important to Jeanine.”

“Killing that bastard would have been worth a prison sentence!” I shot back defiantly, displaying my newly acquired give-no-fucks-and-take-no-prisoners state of mind.

“Now that would really have been the biggest tragedy of all. Not even Jeanine would have been able to save you from that. You definitely would have rotted in jail then,” she said matter of factly, without any reservation. Laura always gave it to me straight, no chaser.

“No it wouldn’t have. I would have just traded fame for infamy. In the lawless world we live in, that’s better than anything.”

“You never cease to amaze me. Do you have not one sense of remorse for what you have done?”

“Why should I? He had what was coming to him.”

“For what he did to you?”

I gave Laura a long and hard look, debating whether I should even open that particular can of worms.
