Chapter 8 - THE NIGHT EVERYTHING WAS DESTROYEDThe real attack came three days before the city hearing.
Mia arrived at six in the morning.
She stopped in the doorway.
The academy had been destroyed.
Mats were ripped apart.
Walls covered in paint.
Equipment overturned.
Frames shattered.
Glass scattered across the floor.
Then Mia saw David's photograph.
Broken.
For a moment, the world stopped.
Brandon entered behind her.
His face changed.
“Who did this?”
Nobody answered.
He clenched his fists.
“We're going after them.”
Mia turned.
“No.”
“They destroyed everything!”
“I know.”
“We can't just stand here!”
Mia walked toward the center of the ruined gym.
She closed her eyes.
Breathed in.
Then opened them.
“We clean.”
Brandon stared at her.
“They want us angry.”
Mia picked up a broken piece of glass.
“They want us violent.”

She looked at the students gathering behind them.
“And we're not giving them that.”
