The next day, Summayyah walked into the interview room, where Eric was already seated and waiting for her. They both exchanged pleasantries before she sat down. Not long ago, an elderly woman in her late forties walked with Maria accompanying her and with just a wave of Summayyah's hand Maria bowed and excused herself.

Summayyah and Eric stood up as a sign of respect to welcome the woman and after their pleasantries they gestured her to take a seat. Summayyah started off by mentioning that the matter was introduced to them by firm's secretary, and with a brief interview Eric intervened. "Have to sought help from another firm before!?" Eric asked, the woman shook her head. "No, I haven't." She answered.

However, Summayyah reassures her that her intel will not leave the four Corners of the Firm except when it's necessary under legal grounds. However, Summayyah proceeded to ask about her daughter's behavior before and after the incident.

It turned out her daughter has been a very jovial girl and see everyone as part of her, though she gets bullied time to time for one thing or the other but she never tells the mother and then getting rape was a serious matter than bullying. "She didn't tell me because she was scared of my reaction. I found her dripping of her own blood from under her skirt and I was so scared and angry that I stripped her naked and that was when I asked her who did it. I reported to the school authorities but they claimed that he was innocent and that my daughter consented to something disguising just be sis she is a very jovial kid. However, I do not want the Society and the world to see my daughter as a sexual attracted girl, when she hardly even comes online!" The woman sobs.

Summayyah watched the woman with care as she speaks and decided that the matter would be taken to court and the rapist must have to prove beyond reasonable doubts. The woman left feeling confident and reassured, thanking Summayyah over and over until she left.

She sighed as she reached for her coffee on her desk and while she was sipping, Eric entered. "Mrs Summayyah, are you okay with what the lady said!? It might be untrue and that her daughter might have just really consent to it!" He said.

Summayyah's right eye twitched with anger as she silently lean back on her chair, starting at Eric until he felt uneasy. She spoke. "Do you also think, just because a girl is jovial then it would be very easy for her to lose her dignity just to keep pleasing everyone? Please people doesn't cost her or anyone his life or dignity. That man took her life while she was alive and you think a mother will come her saying all this without a bribe if her daughter was the one who initiated it!?" She asked and Eric was silent.

"If you had a daughter, will you let the world know she consented to sexual interaction!?" And he shook his head. "CEO Natasha will let us hand it to the court, I may or may not be the lawyer for the woman but the court is to decide if the bus Attendant did what he did based on her consent and if not he just has to face the consequences." She said, getting up and walking out of her office to report to CEO Natasha on the matter at hand.

Eric on the other hand was left dumbfounded by his assumption which should have never come to play since their job is to protect people and not put them in more damage. He sighed and walked out and headed to the kitchen to make some coffee when Hamza walked in. "Oh Aloha!" He greeted.

"Hi Hamza!" Eric replied reluctantly and it gave Hamza a hint that he wasn't okay. So while they were making their coffee, Hamza offered a listening ear to Eric and when he heard what he did, he first laughed and sipped his coffee. "You must be really stressed to think any of this will be blamed on a 14 years old girl. I mean come on. Even if she consented do you think they would even file a suit? You shouldn't have even brought this up to Summayyah in the first place, she will dig up until she finds you innocent and it's clearly something both you and I or anyone knows we can't. So please, let's do our job okay buddy!?" He tapped his shoulder before taking his cup and returning to his office. Eric sat there lamenting but he was cheered after what Hamza had told him. Hamza can be a little hot tempered but a very kind soul from with in. He thought as a small smile escaped his lips.
