APPEAL

It was the visiting hours and Felicia's lawyer had come to inform her of how her case was going.

"Please tell me you have good news for me. I can't stand it in this please, everyone here is under drugs or something", she ranted as soon she sat down, not giving the lawyer a chance to speak. "Well start talking", she urged when the lawyer was still silent.

Clearing his throat, the lawyer began,

"Well, I have gone through your case and the person who charged you with attempted rape is quite a powerful person so you getting acquitted is going to be a harder process".

"What do you mean? I am going to stay here forever, is that it? I'm pregnant you know", she said to him, her face etched with annoyance and the urge to kill.

The lawyer became frightened but pretended to be calm, "I have some solutions that can lead to you getting acquitted faster", he offered.

"Then talk and stop wasting so much time", she demanded.
