"Sir, are you alright?"
"Hurry, call 911, my hand is broken! Ava, you just wait, I'm not letting this go. I'm going to sue you for intentional injury!" Richard Martinez glared fiercely at Ava.
"Ava, you need to apologize to Mr. Martinez right now! Mr. Martinez, I am terribly sorry. Miss Sterling can be a bit hot-tempered. Please, bear with her. Can we consider today's incident closed? I'll bring her to personally apologize to you another day, would that be alright?"
Kevin Lewis sounded like he was speaking up for Ava, but he was actually pushing her further into trouble.
Most girls would have been terrified by such a scenario, but was Ava scared? Ava was afraid of mice, cockroaches, and the dark, but she was never afraid of trouble.
