Thalia's P.O.V.
The next day, Abby, Tobin, Alex, Pinoe, and I went to the jail to visit Hope. As soon as the goalkeeper was brought into the visiting area, Carli hugged her. "Are you alright?" she asked anxiously. "Yeah." Hope said. "The food here sucks, but I'm alright." "Hello, ladies." a male voice said from behind us. We turned to see a well-dressed African-American man. "My name is John Abbott." the man said. "I have been assigned as Hope's defense lawyer. I assume you are her teammates?" "You assume correctly." Abby said. "Then may I ask you to come with me?" John asked. "You can resume your visit later." we all followed him into a conference room and sat around a table. "May each of you please give me your name and relationship to Hope?" John asked. "Carli Lloyd, girlfriend." Carli said. "Thalia Skywalker, soul sister." I said. "Abby Wambach, best friend." Abby said. "Alex Morgan, best friend." Alex said. "Megan Rapinoe, best friend." Pinoe said. "Tobin Heath, best friend." Tobin said. "Thank you." John said, taking a folder from his briefcase. "Now, the charges against Hope are as follows: on July the first, at 8:00 local time, Hope Solo assaulted Derrick Harper, and left him seriously bruised." "Hope didn't do it." I said. "She couldn't have." "Can you prove that?" John asked. "I can." I said. "On July first, we were in London for the World Cup. Well, actually, for us, it was July second when the crime was committed, because it was 4 AM London time. And Hope was playing in the semifinals on the first. She couldn't have done it." John closed his folder and looked at me. "My dear girl, you've just won our case." he said.
