Flashback:
July 31st, 2060.
28 people were arrested in a drug bust.
Victoria worked overtime advising her client in court cases.
*End of flashback.

August 24th, 2060.
Victoria was working when another 40 people were arrested. And in the middle of a court case for the 22nd person in that group of 40, she collapsed right there in the courtroom.
After they saw that she was unresponsive, they carried her to the hospital.
The prison was overbooked when 140 immigrants were arrested.
