Law School Murders: Transformative and Revelatory
Kim gets a windfall.
Each figure motivated Kim. Her smartphone showed numbers in the seven figures. She didn’t ask for an advance, so all the money she kept from book sales. Talks about a movie surfaced in meetings about her and the material.
She purchased the Goulding. It looked pristine. The outside looked grayish blue and the curves resembled the body of a dolphin. She ensured that it came equipped with cameras to sense and identify whether a threat was possible.
She drove in the direction of her walk-up with confidence. A glowing sense of self-assuredness engulfed her soul as the gears shifted in this new roadster. She received a call from Brenda.
“Are you sitting down?”
“Yes….”
“They’re going to want you on the witness stand.”
Kim’s heart sank. A coldness now wrapped around her mind and she felt like she was going to lose control. She quickly regained a sense of centeredness.
“Okay. I’ll do that,” she told Brenda.
“I’m sorry you even have to go through this again, but it’s at the crux of the case. You were the last person he spoke to so your words carry weight.”
“Got it.”
“Again, sorry for having to put you through this again.”
“Yeah.”
“Take care of yourself, Kim.”
“Bye.”
She continued to switch gears in her blue-gray vehicle. She reached her house. After going through mail, mostly junk, she checked her phone. She pulled up the email and looked at the information Brenda was talking about. She deleted the rest.
A newly minted millionaire, she felt as if she were somehow low. There was an angst in her. She recalled her childhood where she felt the pangs of what it was like to be a spoiled brat. She had no curfew, started dating at fourteen the sixteen-year-old boys, and just finding whatever she could get into and experience. She had a small crew that she was the leader of who made the decisions.
Now, she stood in her kitchen with more money than she had seen at some drug busts. And she would have to take the stand once more. In her mind, she pictured herself pointing at Chris saying, “It was him. It was him!”
The phantasm ran away from her thoughts. Her finances came into view once more. She decided to pay off three credit cards and pay off the walk-up. Yet, she kept picturing herself on the stand, taking the oath, and speaking against this murderer. She didn’t have a problem with the latter. She knew that he had killed his frat brothers.
In the middle of all this fuss, she recalled her path to professorship. In the ways that she had won against the odds, she relished the peace she found in herself. The latest news couldn’t contend with her brand new lease on life.
Immediately she saw the past few years as transformative and revelatory. It was simple, still. What happened to her was unique. She carved out a place in historical documents as well as tabloids. She teetered on the road to fame and fortune as gracefully as she knew how.
With the money and celebrity, she had in mind the difference between the Marine, detective, and professor and now published author. She wondered who would play her in the movie. All of this was reverie to distract her from the truth. She would have to go to court again and tell the facts of a case she wished she didn’t have to deal with…again.
The fighter in her was way more accomplished than all the other titles. She knew this. Her phone rang. It was Yawquisha.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Speed, Greed, and the Dangerous Game of Revenge
There are some things in the world that are not just symbols of wealth, but become identities of power, arrogance, and obsession. The rare 1937 Bugatti is one of those things. The film begins with a grand and luxurious auction, where this legendary car stands on stage as the center of everyone’s attention. The auctioneer announces that it is one of the rarest cars in the world, with only two models existing globally. This announcement ignites greed in the hearts of every wealthy person present in the crowd. The bidding starts at thirty million dollars and keeps increasing moment by moment. Someone bids thirty-two, someone thirty-four, and finally the bid reaches forty-one million dollars. This final bid is placed by a man named Jack, who is in contact with his boss. On the surface, he appears to be a rich buyer, but in reality, he is working for a powerful and dangerous criminal. The Bugatti is not going to belong to him, but to his boss. At the same time, the film introduces us to two brothers—Andrew and Garrett. Both are world-famous and highly skilled car thieves. Luxury and supercars are their obsession, and they have stolen some of the best cars in the world. The reason both brothers are connected to the Bugatti’s path is because they want to steal this rare car. The Bugatti theft on the highway is one of the most thrilling scenes of the film. High-speed vehicles, jumping onto a truck using ropes, a shower of bullets, and the shadow of death—Andrew and Garrett risk their lives to steal the Bugatti. This is not just a theft, but a practical demonstration of skill, nerves, and madness. After the theft, both brothers celebrate, but this happiness does not last long. When they go to a man named Jimmy to sell the Bugatti, he refuses to buy it. Jimmy knows that this car does not belong to an ordinary person, but to a very powerful and dangerous businessman named Morrier. Morrier is not only a wealthy man, but also runs an entire criminal empire. Soon, Andrew and Garrett are captured and presented before Morrier. Morrier tells them his story—a journey that started from poverty, an empire built through crime, and an obsession with rare cars. For him, these cars are not just a hobby, but symbols of his power and ego. The theft of the Bugatti becomes a personal insult to him. Morrier gives both of them one chance to stay alive, but his condition is extremely dangerous. They must steal a 1962 Ferrari belonging to a man named Max—a car that is one of a kind in the world and worth more than millions of dollars. Max is a young but exceptionally intelligent business tycoon, and also Morrier’s old enemy. From here, the story moves beyond a simple theft and turns into a battle of minds. Andrew and Garrett form an entire team, including Stephanie, Devon, bomb expert Lane, and skilled race drivers. Every person has a specific role, and every mistake can lead to death. The character of Max adds more depth to the story. He appears to be a polite and successful businessman, but behind him is an extremely sharp mind. He is both impressed by Andrew and Garrett’s abilities and cautious of them. His Ferrari is not just a car, but his identity. The story takes a new turn when it is revealed that the real plan was never to steal the Ferrari. The Bugatti was merely a move, a trap—used to ensnare Morrier along with his arrogance. Andrew, Garrett, and Max were actually playing the same game from the very beginning, where the real target was Morrier’s treasure of rare and valuable cars. In the climax, speed, explosions, and intelligence collide together. A collapsing bridge, long car chases, betrayal, sacrifices, and finally Morrier’s fate—all symbolize that the game of power and greed ultimately ends in destruction. In the end, Andrew proposes marriage to Stephanie, Garrett finds love, and the team completes an impossible mission. But the biggest lesson remains that in this world, the most dangerous weapon is not a gun or speed, but the mind, patience, and the final move played at the right time. Final Question Is power really found only in money and weapons, or is true power hidden in the mind that silently turns the entire game around?

Killing him slowly
There’s an intruder in my house again. He stumbles through the door, wet carrier bags in hand. He’s bought me offerings. I show my appreciation, letting him caress my beautiful body. He wants to touch me. I rub myself against his legs. He sighs, dropping the bags. He can’t resist touching me. Running his hand slowly down my spine, I arch my back towards his caress, let out a low purr. It’s what we both need.
