“Don’t ever cross my path again, bitch” Kaede hissed between her teeth, moving closer to the other. She was now addempting to simply cover her b...obs, sobbing lightly just to whimper like a beaten dog as another slap made her tilt her head “Understood?!”“Y-YES, yes-!” “Good.”She let go of Veronika’s hair with a push, standing up to fix her shorts as the other was left on the floor, beaten and sobbing her eyes out.Apparently she wasn’t expecting a proper catfighter to deal with her.Kaede didn’t.

There were presents for everybody and a great time was had passing them out and opening them. Once the excitement of the presents. The second most likely scenario was your assassination.

"My client has nothing to say," he told Richard pointedly, clearly meaning for me to take the hint. I smiled at the lawyer and nodded understanding. Jerry and the other man, I couldn't even recollect his name now, looked me over uncertainly for a little while and then everybody walked back out. It was apparent they couldn't identify me for.
