Chapter 58 - In the News…
"Miranda!" Stacy exclaimed as she ran into the room, "You’ve got to see this."
"What?" Miranda asked her, "What’s going on? Someone die?"
"Not exactly," Stacy said, "Well, sort of, but nobody important."
"What are you talking about, Stacy?" Miranda asked her, "What happened?"
"Medoferro heard cases today," Stacy said, "Can you believe that?"
"You’re kidding?" Miranda said, "What the heck…"
"It’s all over the evening paper," Stacy told her, "Your guy did a bang up job, exposed the real killer and everything."
"He’s not my guy, Stacy," Miranda said, rolling her eyes, "Let me see that paper…"
"You wish he was," Stacy grinned, enjoying teasing her friend on this point, "He’s turning out well."
"Better than I would have," Miranda mumbled as she read the details, "Good gods, did he really do this?"
"I have no trouble believing it," Stacy told her, "You know that assassination attempt a few days back?"
"Yes?" Miranda nodded, looking up.
"He was the one who did most of it," Stacy confided, "I don’t know what he did, but I started fighting faster and he took charge. He’s going to be really good at this."
"He still hates it," Miranda said, "Probably would rather do anything else."
"He wouldn’t have been chosen otherwise," Stacy reminded her, "I wonder why he did a murder case though. Usually they are apprentices for several years before doing that."
"Medo has been in for less than six months," Miranda said thoughtfully, "That’s really strange."
"Makes me wonder if something is up," Stacy said, "Hope everything is all right."
"Nothing we can do anyway," Miranda sighed, "We’re stuck here."
"I’ll talk to Marina tomorrow," Stacy promised, "Keep the paper. I’ve finished with it."
"Thanks," Miranda said, continuing to read the details, "I’m going to finish reading this."
"I figured," Stacy chuckled, "Enjoy."
