I sat with Sara and Nick as the jury found Marlin not guilty. I stared at Hannah West as she hugged her brother. I may not have been on the case, but I had heard enough. Sara strongly disliked Hannah, because of all the evidence that pointed to Hannah, but her and her smart brain found a way to get free. I know Sara was mad, and, shoot I was too even though I haven't talked to her. I looked over at Nick with his new haircut. He was mad too because Marlin was found not guilty; he figured Hannah had nothing to do with it.
I always wished that I was in my 30's because all the guys were cute or hot. I remembered when I sent my best friend Hannah a postcard for Christmas. It had the whole lab employees from a picture we had took at a party, saying "WISH YOU WERE HERE!" Hannah had emailed me and was like who was the African guy. It was Warrick Brown who I and Hannah thought was HOT.
Later on I was walking down the hall in the lab as I saw Marlin signing release forms. As I kept walking I saw Sara sitting down while talking to Hannah West. I walked over and said,
"What's going on?" Both of them looked up at me.
"We are just discussing things." Sara said. Hannah turned to me.
"So you must be Dakota. I've heard a lot about you." She said as I shook her hand.
"Really, I didn't know I was famous." I said trying to lighten the mood. It didn't work for Sara.
"Yeah, I read about you on the internet. Wow I am honored to be in your presence. You are the youngest to ever finish college. And at 14." I acted like I was really glad she was talking to me but truth was I wasn't. Sara was glaring at me thinking I was actually interested.
"I'm really sorry though about your parents. Dying in a car wreck. I'm so glad I still have my family. It's great that Sara took you in though, right?" She said smiling. I was so about to punch the little brat.
"Uh yeah, I was really lucky."I was trying to keep calm but after her talking about my parents it wasn't helping.
"I hope to be just like you one day. Well almost like you. I don't want my parents to die." That was it for me. I rushed forward and pushed Hannah into the wall.
"Don't you ever talk about my parents again! I heard about everything you've done. Stop playing games." I said as I let her go and start to walk off. I heard Hannah murmur,
"You're the one playing games." I turned around, raced up to her, and slapped her across the face. The bad thing was that Ecklie had seen everything. I know that Sara would have loved for me to kick Hannah's butt, but she didn't want charges pressed against me so she pulled me up.
"Crane. My office now."Ecklie screamed. Even though my last name had changed to Grissom he still used Crane because of the confusion and he's the only one to use people's last names. I looked at Sara as I started to walk away. Hannah had got up and said,
"I'm not going to press charges. Your welcome."She said as she disappeared.
"Oh yeah I'm very grateful for the midget." I murmured as I knocked on Ecklie's door.
I heard him say come in as I opened the door.
"Sit down." I sat down in the seat as I waited for him to bore me to death.
"I don't need people in this lab hitting suspects. What do you think?" He asked. I was going to be brave.
"Well I don't know. I mean she's not a suspect, she's a murderer." I said. Ecklie glared at me.
"I don't know what is with the women in my lab. Sara disrespecting Catherine, now you are smacking people. What is Sara doing? Teaching you how to piss me off?" I was getting really angry again. I stood up and smacked the desk with my hands.
"Listen Ecklie. The only one disrespecting people are you. I don't want you to ever talk about or to Sara like that ever again. You are very lucky to have her work in this lab, and she was actually nice enough to take me in." I said as I knew he was mad.
"Alright that's it. Crane, one week suspension without pay." He said. As I was walking out the door, I screamed,
"Great because I don't even get paid." Ecklie shook his head as I went on with my business.
