Chapter Eighty-Six: Aluta Continua

It's 9:15. Without thinking, I head to the bathroom, jumping in the shower immediately, ignoring Gia in the tub.

"Gi, the SGB has called an emergency meeting. I'll be heading out." I announce over the stream of water, my back turned against her. Even then, I feel her intense glare from across the vast bathroom.

"Why do you care what their decision is? We should just move and go live in LA. You can even start racing again, if you want." She says, her tone suggesting she is proud of this suggestion. How nice of her to offer me my career back.

"You can't leave the city. You're awaiting trial." I muse, feeling irritated. And I pray to God that the verdict is nothing but guilty, guilty, guilty. I must have been insane to ask Miss Wyatt to drop those charges. That was when I thought Gi had suffered a manic episode; before I found out she intentionally did that to the two girls, with not a speck of remorse in her.
