How Did you Even? You're an Idiot Normally

Therod was a free woman. She didn't even know how it happened. One minute Trezlan was there in a dumb wig, and telling her the trial shouldn't be an issue and then she was released, charges dropped. To say she was confused was an understatement. Lorentino was quietly happy as they left the court room, his empty briefcase in hand. Empty he told her because it was only there for looks, which seemed idiotic, but that was Trezlan, always an idiot. Except this time he wasn't, he somehow managed to get the charges dropped and an apology from the police for the mistaken identity. It made no sense to Therod.

"Did you pay them off?" Lorentino looked at her with a mixture of annoyance and sadness.

"If I paid them off I would not have showed up in court. No, what I did was show them records of my wife's passing."

"You were married?"

"Not officially, but again you can't be someone who is dead, and the proof was absolute, you're welcome Therod by the way." She felt shame at accusing him of paying them off, he was apparently hurt by that, on top of Deliah, whoever she was, had apparently been his wife. Something Therod felt she should have known, but apparently it wasn't labeled in any of her former RIG files.

"See you around?"

"Doubtful, tell my son that's it for now." And with that the attorney that wasn't Trezlan Lorentino disappeared leaving Therod to wonder, just where in the gods were her mercenaries?
