Sam stared at her excessive collection of lipstick. This was much too delicate of a situation, and she needed to make sure that her presentation was on point. So she could do a soft pink to appear non-threatening. Or she could go for a dark red for confidence and strength. She knew exactly what she’d done when shooting Tommy, and he deserved it.
A wave of nausea came over her at the memory of the shooting and she picked up the red lipstick. She needed as much strength as possible. Especially considering she didn’t think she was justified in what she’d done. Tommy had played her perfectly.... His last act of malice. He knew if the families found out what he was doing, he’d be dead. Now that he’d gotten her to shoot him, there was a very real possibility that she was going to die right along with him.
After she finished applying the lipstick, she pulled on her knee-high flat black boots and her blue leather jacket and slipped the lipstick into her pocket. No point doing a bold look if she wasn’t going to re-apply.
When she’d first decided she wanted to get her own place, Abigail had made sure that her apartment was in a decent area, but Sam had insisted that she buy it on her own. On her own meaning it came out of her trust fund, but at least she hadn’t required another check from her mother. However, her grandmother had no such stipulations about price. She lived in the penthouse of one of the most prestigious buildings of the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
At this time of day, it was a fifteen-minute drive from her apartment in Queens to her grandmother’s place. That seemed much too close. She needed time to think over what she was going to say. The many ways she could plead for her life.
She had the benefit of being Claudia’s granddaughter. That would win some points. But what if she decided to make an example out of her? Prove a point that family members received no mercy?
She took a deep breath and gave herself one more once-over in the mirror. Be strong, she told herself. It would probably help that she was going to talk to Claudia before she came looking for her. Cooperating with the investigation, she supposed.
Once she couldn’t think of any more excuses to dawdle around her apartment, she finally picked up her keys and left. She left her gun at home. If she showed up with a weapon, someone would just take it away from her.
The only thing they couldn’t take away from her were her powers, which were now freshly energized. Between Jackson’s visit last night and the incident with Tommy, she was flush with a newfound energy. She was a hope for the best, prepare for the worst kind of person. Sure, if Claudia decided to take out Sam, she wouldn’t stand much of a chance, but at least she could try.
