She locked eyes with them, her gaze sharp as a knife, “Go ahead, let’s see who really gets the short end of the stick when this all comes out in the wash.” With that, she turned on her heel and left.

Ferris‘ voice drifted after her, “You see that, officers? Maja’s got some nerve, acting like she’s above the law.”
