The Light of the Moon Page #4
internationals that are like
buying up vacant apartments in Manhattan and
leaving them empty for years and years until
claims his piece of the pie.
Ew!
take up space in Manhattan.
I swear to God, I'm
going to start squatting.
I'm going to be the best damn
squatter New York City has ever seen.
Mm, ok, yes. But you think it's illegal
when your Uber rating drops below 5 stars?
Ok, that is actually a crime.
And this is for the good of America.
Mhm. I don't think that argument
is going to fly in court.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
I just have to get out of my
apartment.
There's too many good memories.
I guess they're not
good anymore.
Are you ok?
Huh?
You're like acting weird.
Oh... I'm just... I'm
worried about Matt.
Why?
I dunno, he's just not
handling all of this very well.
Define "handling it well. "
He's become so over-
protective. It's like...
- Suffocating?
- Yes! Exactly!
Yeah, but that's normal, right? I feel like
I've become more protective of you, too.
Yeah, but you're not overbearing
about it.
right things.
Check, check, check.
I know, I know. It's a stupid
thing to complain about.
Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
But, I'm sure he understands.
Oh no, no - he understands.
Oh, he understands everything.
He understands everything.
I could spit in his face
and he'd just wipe it off and then rub my
back and say "it's okay, babe. It's ok... "
Bonnie!
I know, I know!
And I say, I say the
most awful stuff
to him.
And I feel it rising up in my
throat and I'm trying to like
choke it down but I can't.
It's just too... I
can't handle it.
That is so weird... I would have
thought that you'd want him to
be closer after what happened?
Well, I dunno. Maybe I'm
the exception to the rule.
Shocking.
Ok, maybe I'm not allowed to say this,
but - can you imagine how he must feel?
The fact he didn't come out with us that
night. The guilt must be killing him.
Why do people do that? It's not like I'm
holding it against him or something.
Hmmm... Maybe just, like,
a little bit?
No.
Ok, if that's what you want me
to believe, that's fine.
But, you know... Inner demons
are always the
hardest to overcome.
Did you read that in a book?
I saw it on OWN.
OWN? You're watching
OWN now?
The Oprah Winfrey... Okay.
Okay.
Yes. Hashtag Grateful.
No. No!
Alright.
Excuse me. Sorry.
Sorry. The train was late.
Are you still working
those long hours?
Yea.
You'll make yourself sick.
I'm the lead on a big job.
I have to impress them.
know?
Your friends are writing about
it all over your Facebook.
I thought you didn't know
how to use Facebook?
Great.
- So?
- So?
So do you think this is how I deserve
to find out something like this?
people put on Facebook.
And you've forgotten how
to use the phone, Bonita?
Especially, with your
father the way he is -
Did you tell him?
No. Never.
He's in enough pain without
daughter running around in the
middle of the night.
Mom, please.
It's fine, I'm fine. Everything
It's that neighborhood -
I told you, it's not safe.
It's New York City.
Nowhere is safe.
- Then you should be extra careful.
- not running around
- sola por la noche!
- Por favor!
I know Matthew was
not there with you.
What kind of friends let you
go out sola por la noche?
You need to move.
To Queens? You just told me last
month your neighbors got robbed.
That's different. My own daughter
can't even find the time to call me.
I just didn't want to worry you.
Okay, you have enough
on your plate as it is.
Do you ever think tha it worries me
more when I don't hear from you?
Did you cancel
your credit cards?
Uh, yeah. Yeah I did.
Brooklyn is where all of
the drug dealers live.
My God. Mom, it's not
the 80s!
Listen to me. You tell me
next time, you hear?
Not the stupid computer.
You call me and you tell me.
Hey. Bonnie, right?
Yeah, Bonnie Gonzalez.
You got my number from Vernon?
At the station? Ah - what's his name.
Oh, ah... Detective
Lambert?
Right. Right! He's a good guy.
I know he can be a bit abrasive
at first...
He's gotta work on his people skills
but I keep telling him that.
Vernon! "Come on!"
You know, today already.
You want some water?
I'm hopeless that way.
Here, let me get you some water.
Thank you
I'm, I'm Kirra, by the way.
Kirra Williams.
Nice to meet you.
So, I had a chance to look
over your file quickly
and we got to decide what
angle to take here, honey.
You're a smart girl, right?
You went to college?
Yeah, I went to Syracuse.
That's great!
The judge will love that.
And you're pretty, that - that
helps too.
I mean, obviously, you were just
born that way, but trust me,
it's good for our case.
Oh.
So, we are just waiting on
the results of your rape kit?
Um, yeah. I believe so.
Ok, that way we can
see if the DNA matches
the guy who raped the other
girl, right? Ok. Good.
Well, hopefully we'll have
two matching sets of DNA.
We'll put this guy
away for a long time.
Um, what if the DNA isn't a
match and it was some other guy.
Well, that's gonna be a
harder battle.
Hopefully we can still find him...
but if he's a first time offender,
that could be tough.
Wait, even with the DNA?
He'll argue it was consensual.
He practically broke
my cheekbone.
That's neither here nor there.
Plus, you were intoxicated. And, uh,
you can't remember anything.
I can remember some
things. Very clearly.
The problem is is that he'll
remember everything, perfectly
clearly.
You know, he's going to say you
came onto him, that you
were flirting
and dancing with him all night
at the bar.
That it was your idea.
have sex with you.
million years...
Yeah, but you can't remember?
And just to help him even more,
he has your toxicology
report at this point.
I am not the one who is
supposed on trial here.
But to the defense, you are.
What district are you in?
Bushwick.
Great,
you'll probably going to get Mahoney...
he is a downright creep and has
made it his mission in life
to get every rapist off the hook.
God knows why, ah... his mother
didn't hug him enough as a kid,
who knows...
but he'll break you down and you
need to be prepared.
His aim is to get the judge to
question your character and
lighten this creep's sentence.
Of course, I'll "object" every time,
but he'll plant the seed.
Now don't get me wrong,
I agree with you.
All that sh*t doesn't matter.
Rape is rape.
That's all it should come down to.
But we're not saving the world
today, we're not single-handedly
changing the criminal justice
system - not today.
Our aim is to put this guy behind
