“If I was part of the bad guys, would Mia really ask you to protect me?” Phoenix interrupted the group, looking at his old friend/assistant as she burst into tears. “Or ask people to help me for that matter? It would seem strange to do so.”
“Of course she would!” Maya retorted, wiping her face with her sleeves. “She’d want me to save you from them! Bring you to back justice away from this dark age of law you’ve been telling me about!”
“AND IN JUTICE WE TRUST!” Bobby Fulbright added, showing his badge for what seemed to be the umpteenth time. “I’ll make sure every baddie will be caught and put into jail by the end of today. In the name of Lady Justice!”
“Then we don’t have to get rid of them!” Apollo stood up from one of the only chairs and grinned. “We’ll make sure they’ll learn their lesson, right boss?”
Franziska snorted. “Then let’s start by kicking out this Blackfool, I’m sure everyfool in here must have noticed him tempering with the drinks.”
All eyes turned to Blackquill, who raised an eyebrow as he sipped from his coffee. “Now why on earth would I do that? I can’t let my sword go dull can I? You want me to sharpen it on your bones, miss Fool?”
“If that’s what you are going to say then you can leave as well.” Phoenix glared, glancing at Bobby who was looking at Blackquill with annoyance.
“We might as well lock him up already!” Franziska said with a growl, tightening he whip. “Anybody dares to call me a fool will surely be one themselves.”
“It seems settled then!” Bobby said, pulling out cuffs. “Justice has spoken, and in Justice we trust!”
