»Charles! Charles!«

»Charles Leclerc!«

»Can you answer a few of my questions, please?«

The reporters called frantically as Charles left the hospital in a wheelchair about a week later. They were practically swarming the Monegasque, but for once they kept an appropriate distance without the need of a reminder from Kyra.

She was the one pushing the wheelchair, keeping a watchful eye on the journalists. After the incident she was ready for anything, more careful than ever.
With a glance to Charles she made sure that he was ready to answer questions, ready to bolt for the parking lot at any moment. But Charles nodded at her with a smile, so the young woman brought him closer to the reporters.

At first the questions revolved mostly around the accident and Charles recovery. He was well prepared for all of them, Mario had visited him two days ago to help him with exactly that.

Kyra felt proud as she watched Charles be so composed, even laughing every now and then. Without realizing it she started reaching for Charles hair, wanting to brush her fingers through it, but at the last moment she stopped herself. Quickly she put her hand back on the handle, wanting to hit herself. That almost went horribly wrong... and in front of dozens of cameras as well. Luckily no one seemed to have noticed her almost mistake.

»And what about you, Miss Shepherd?« One of the reporters suddenly stuck a microphone in Kyras face, earning himself a sour glare from the young woman. In none of her old jobs did she ever have to deal with the press that much. »I heard the lawsuit against you was dropped.«

With the "lawsuit" he was probably referring towards the police investigation that was briefly opened against Kyra, because her beating up the mechanic who'd hurt Charles had not been self-defence. There had been a wide outrage that Kyra was supposed to be charged with assault, but oddly enough the mechanic did not want to sue, so Kyra was off the hook.

»Well, for a lawsuit to be dropped, there would have to be one first.« Kyra retaliated with a smile, hiding the fact that she was absolutely not in the mood to answer any of these useless questions. »So there's not much I can tell you about it.«

»Do you regret any of your actions?« Another journalist took the chance, squeezing through until he was standing right in front of Kyra. »You beat the man pretty badly. He had a broken nose and some serious bruises. Are you sure that was really necessary?«

The shocked look on the mans face following Kyras cold response indicated that he was not expecting it at all. He was probably used to well behaved, media trained celebrities.

»Yes, I am sure it was necessary. In my opinion he deserved a broken nose and serious bruised. So no. No I do not regret anything I did, even if I would go to jail for it.« Kyra really wanted to add a "for Charles", but again, that would be wildly inappropriate. A pair of blue eyes looking up at her let her know that Charles knew what she meant to say.

Unfortunately the reporters weren't letting go of this so easily. At least a dozen of them started asking questions at once, only one of them really rang through to her.
