Theo continued, "I heard the victim's family from that case five Christmases ago wasn't satisfied with the verdict. They cornered her in an alley the night she got out of prison and stabbed her to death."

Watching Aiden's angry figure as he left, Theo sighed.
He muttered under his breath, "Stella was sold off to some mountain village to be an old man's wife ages ago. How could she possibly still be in school?"
