Chapter 2: Bad Start

            Fifteen minutes later, Amy was rushing into her office, struggling with a cup of coffee.

            As she was setting down her briefcase and was just about to take a sip of coffee, Bruce rushed in and took the cup from her hands.

            "No time, Judge Gray," he said, holding out her robe for her to put on.

            "I thought I was meeting with the District Attorney," she said.

            "Things change. He's coming by this afternoon. You have a full docket, and if you want to get out of here before nightfall, we have to get started."

            Amy shrugged her robe on and headed for the courtroom, retrieving her cup of coffee from Bruce.
