Justine

“THERE THEY ARE,” MEL whispers, her eyes set on the three men in uniform across the hall. Two of them are holding tablets, while the one who seems to be in charge asks a bunch of students some questions.

“You let me do the talking.” Mel squares her shoulders, taking her stance. “Stay close.”

She starts putting one foot in front of the other while I trail after her, trying to keep my shoulders pulled back. Left and right, people are watching. Goddammit, will I ever live this down? Seems like I’ve become everybody’s full-time clown.

“Gentlemen,” Mel greets, her chin lifted high. “We heard you were looking for Justine Pracht, and here she is. But as long as you don’t have a warrant for her arrest, I’m the one you talk to–Melody Sorbaine, law student. Not a lawyer yet, but we’ll be sure to get her one if she needs us to.” For whoever doesn’t know her, she’s all the confident law trainee, knowing exactly what she’s doing. But the telltale signs of her discomfort aren’t lost on me. The oh-so-slight tremor in her chin, the way her fingers curl and uncurl by her sides.

Eva and Annie stand behind me like soldiers, Eva with an unblinking hard stare that she must have acquired during her troubled teen years, and Annie shifting from one leg to the other like a schoolgirl with something to hide. As for me, all I want to do is bite the shit out of my fingernails, but I manage to get a grip.

The officer in charge sweeps his eyes over us from under bushy eyebrows. If he’s intimidated to find himself in an elite university full of the most influential rich kids in the country, he doesn’t show it. He looks like he’s done this before, and nothing can surprise him. Judging by the streaks of gray that flank the sides of his head despite his full head of hair, he’s in his fifties. A man with experience, and not much patience for spoiled kids by the look on his face.

“As a matter of fact, we are here to take Miss Pracht in for interrogation,” he announces, his voice vibrating out of a barrel-like chest. He doesn’t take my friend seriously as my legal defender, if his tone is any indication. “So unless you’re a licensed lawyer, I’d ask you to step aside.”

Ice shoots down from my chest to my legs and feet. My brain frantically tries to grasp what he just said. People around me are mumbling and muttering, but they’re all drawing back.

“What? Wait, what’s happening here?” Mel blabbers. “On–On what grounds? I mean, why take her in, you could ask her your questions here, it’s not like she’s a suspect or anything.” She stops abruptly, realizing she’s doing more harm than good.

I could swear Boss Officer just repressed the urge to roll his eyes.

“Well, let’s see, apparently she is the missing person’s ex-girlfriend, and she has a motive to hate him, since he spread revenge porn in chat groups after they broke up.
