Konstantin tugged on the cuffs of his tailor cut suit. The trial had commenced and so far, Cletus Ermine had showed his hand prematurely. How embarrassing.
Judge Newland Harris, Polar Bear Shifter, was presiding. The man looked vaguely familiar, and Konstantin wondered if he wasn’t at that retirement party The Stripe Club had hosted for a fellow member of the judicial system mere months ago.

Theo Jensen arrived on time, looking professional and confident. That was good. Tigers from rival Prides did not always play nice, but Jensen & Associates had quite the impeccable reputation.
