Flash Fic Challenge: Waterlogged Notes

 

Notes on the Jane Smith case:


Yes, the client was tied to the railway track


No, we cannot remove the relevant tie from the track and submit it as evidence. Photos will have to do.


Yes, the train did technically go over her.


No, she was not harmed in the process (irritation to the point of foul language does not count)


Yes, she escaped on her own.


No, the train was not derailed by her methods.


Yes, the client is a naiad (whoever thought that someone who can turn into water could be tied up without recourse is a fool)


No, we probably shouldn't mention that to the court (unless directly asked and unable to evade)
