 She sabotaged the case and would never regret it, but she didn’t know that yet. Her arms wrapped tightly around a single box with everything inside, casting too small of a shadow for what it held. She lingered and stared from the colorless room, watching the artificial raindrops wrestle down enclosing glass walls. A familiar preprogrammed cue rattled lightning patterns in the sky and the taller buildings cast overlapping grids over her face. She mourned silently beneath the veil they cast, but also smiled. Maybe justice could be adjusted now beneath shadows? After all, she knew they still needed her.
