Just as she was about to climb out the window, a red laser dot suddenly landed on her face.
Yara Quincy froze. She had no choice but to back away and silently shut the window.
'That brother of mine actually sent snipers to watch me!'
'I'm screwed...'
'Knowing my brother, if I tried to sneak out, the snipers outside wouldn't hesitate to break my legs!'
'What should I do???'
'The longer I wait, the slimmer my chances of escape. And then I'll be locked up in prison...'
Even though it was just a fetus a little over two months old, under Aridian law, an unborn child is considered a life. And judges are always very sympathetic toward pregnant women.
'In a situation like mine, there's no escaping a five-year sentence. The worst-case scenario is ten years.'
'Whether it's five or ten years, once I'm in prison, my future career is ruined. I don't want that kind of black mark on my record.'
Just as her thoughts were racing, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Yara, it's me."
