LINDY'S POINT OF VIEW

Aria deliberately beat herself up, or got someone to do it for her, and went to the police station to file an assault charge against Cameron. It has been five days since she striked him to the pulp and left without a scratch, yet she showed up this morning at the station with fresh bruises. She's got some nerve.

She thinks she's slick.

She's insane.

Cameron has been held by the police for a while now. Nate and Isaac are with me, working on a bail for him. He's being questioned and everything. Right now, I just feel for him so badly. He's been through so much. All I want to do is protect him.

I have no idea where Aria is right now. I'm not sure if she's here too or somewhere else causing stupid havoc. I want to ruin her life.

I wonder if she owns the property of her restaurant?

"We're getting him out." Nate says to me, popping my plot bubble.

"That's great news," I sighed. "It's been hours."

"I know. We can go home."

After a bunch of paperwork, he was able to come back with us. Once home, Nate ordered pizza for dinner and Logan was curious to know where everyone had been.

"We went for a drive, it was really fun." Cameron told him.

"Without me!" Logan joked, "Next time, I want to come."

"Of course." Cameron said to him as they walked off hand in hand.

"Hopefully not," Isaac mumbled. "The audacity of her,"

"I still can't believe all of this is real." I sighed, exasperated.

"Didn't think she was capable of it." Isaac said.

"People surprise you everyday," Nate scoffed. "I can't wait to just eat. I'm fatigued."

"Do you guys know anything about buying restaurants?" I asked.

"Like, existing ones?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah." I say.

"Why's that?" Nate asked me.

"I had an idea, but it's kind of... evil," I say to them. "You know how Aria has a restaurant? I bet she doesn't own the property."

"What do you need her restaurant for?" Nate asked, amused.

I shrugged. "I don't. But karma's a bitch and what Aria needs is a kick of that."

Isaac laughed. "I support this. Do you have the money to buy a property like that?"

"Course I do." I smirked, "I have all the money I need."

Nate just looked at me blankly, "Would you just keep it then?"

"Sell it to a friend, maybe. I do know someone who wants to expand her restaurant somewhere here. Eh, I don't know. But I just don't want her to have it."
