Jan 28: Drink?

Note: This was just a scene I was working on when I was bored out of my skull so, it might not be one of my best works.

Disclaimer: I don’t own the following characters they just were on my mind and I wrote about them.

Alexandra Cabot strolled down the courthouse. It was around midnight and she was alone in the place, she never stayed late well, correction, she always stayed late. She had a key to a conference room in here and she always had been good with going in and out undetected. Most judges were out of here by the end of the workday so from around 5 to whenever she decided, she was left alone.

Although she had never been in a haunted house, that’s exactly how Alexandra felt like as the sounds of her heels echoed in the hallways. She was thinking and she usually did this, walk around the place when no one was around to think and get her brain to start flowing again. “How am I going to come up with a witness I don’t have?” she said barely above a whisper. She needed to close this case and soon because her cases were piling up on her. Not that she didn’t mind that, she just didn’t want to stretch the rubber band too far so to speak, biting off more than she could choose. Four cases in one week was enough for her.

She had been a D.A for a very long time and her methods had gotten her through many cases but this was the first one where there had been no witnesses. Very few DNA were around and she sighed in frustration. As she went back to the conference room she took a sip of the red liquid that was in her cup. She needed to ease her headache and she didn’t feel like being hyper so coffee was out of the question.

As she began to scratch some notes on her legal pad she drank so more in fact, she kept drinking from the headache she was getting not that it was doing anything for the headaches maybe it was making her worse she wasn’t sure. She drank until she passed out and when she awoke it was by the stern voice of her mentor friend and judge.

“Alexandra Maureen Cabot…explain yourself”
