ready for court. She washed away all traces of musk that had followed her from last night and put on the best of the dress suits that she had brought with her.
She was half dressed when she exited the shower and found a surprise waiting for her. A breakfast cart had been brought in while she was cleaning up. It was laden with porridge, potatoes, and a small serving of meat that smelled like pork and a pitcher of chilled orange juice.
She swallowed her breakfast, brushed her teeth, and gathered up all of her legal materials after she finished dressing and for the first time since last night she began to think over how she was going to save Alexi. She found new motivations for pursuits from last night and she found that they carried her to new heights of thinking.
She checked her watch and found that she had ten minutes to arrive at the court room and was quick to make her way there, motivated by professionalism as much as… What? Love? Lust?
She wasn’t sure. She contemplated it on the elevator ride up to the court room as to what it was that she had done. With her sexual appetite sated for the moment she had the advantage of clearer thinking. Was she in love with Alexi? Logic dictated that she couldn’t be after only one night. But somehow, that didn’t feel right. Was it lust then? No… that didn’t seem right either. Lust had never left her wanting more. This was something else… something more profound…
I’ll have time to figure it out later.
Her thoughts were shut down completely when the elevator bell chimed and she stepped off into the familiar hall containing all of the doors marked with court rooms or judge’s chambers. She found the proper court room and stepped inside and found that it was empty, save for Alexi standing beside the same table as yesterday, talking to Yuri in hushed tones.
He had cleaned up again, and handsomely, she noted. His hair was combed and though he still had the same kind of appeal he’d had last night, she noticed that there was something different about him. There was something… serious… in the way he looked.
As she drew nearer she could hear Alexi whispering to Yuri and was only able to catch the tail end of their conversation. And from the sound of things, it was not a pleasant one.
“…is madness, Alexi!” Yuri said with a tone that rang of life-and-death urgency to her ears.
“Just see it done,” Alexi replied smoothly. “You’re the only one that I can trust with this, Yuri. And you are the logical choice.”
Yuri registered her arrival as she stepped in behind the table and gave her a sharp and piercing looking before looking back to Alexi.
“Can I count on you?” Alexi whispered to his oldest friend.
Yuri’s shoulders shrank as he let out a deep breath. “Are you certain?” he asked resignedly.
Alexi replied with a nod.
Yuri again gave another deep breath. “Then I shall… for you.”
Alexi smiled and patted his large friend on the shoulder. “Thank you, Yuri.”
With that, Yuri turned and urgently left the court room, not sparing a look back as he pulled a cell phone from his pocket and quickly dialing and number before disappearing through the doors.
She looked to Alexi, “Is everything alright?”
Alexi nodded. “Yes. Business is all.”
She nodded back. “Alright, listen… I was thinking about today. And I think I have some ideas about how to put reasonable doubt in Utkin’s mind to get you acquitted. Now it won’t be easy, but I was thinking about what you told me about the…”
“Regina,” he said, putting a hand up and silencing her with two of his fingers upon her lips. The simple gesture held tremendous power, she noticed. “I have full confidence in you…”
The doors to the court room opened and she turned to see Abram walking in, a look of determined malice on his face. Surrounding him was an air of confidence – perhaps it was more of
