Brick had had a long week. A very long week, she had been following the peacekeepers as she waited to hear if one of them had graduated like she knew he would. She had, had a fight with her Uncle who came in ever other day to see if he could get the cast off of his arm. One of those particular meetings had caused her other eyes to be bruised now. She had two black eyes but at least the first was actually healing up well. The cut right under it would scar and be a reminder though. She wasn't surprised she had more than a few scars that reminded her of family. Her nephew was back practicing and doing rather well at it. He had listened to her at least just a little bit. His ankle still bothered him a bit but he was strong and would get over that slight pain soon enough. His parents had been growling at her because of the that fact though. She had told her family that if they wanted to get better or they wanted her help with anything at all they would have to start treating her with a little more respect then they had been giving her. They knew how busy she was without having to look after all of them as well. They had left her alone towards the end of the week. She had figured that was a good thing but know her family they were stewing in their anger. He Uncle had been in yet again the other day and she'd spent an hour getting blood out of the floor of her office once again. She had no clue what the heck was his problem. The next time he came in she was gonna find a way to break his leg. Still she'd seen better weeks.
Brick had requested a week off starting today. Her bosses were perfectly fine with that. Her Uncle would not be but for awhile she would not be at the office and thankfully only one person in her family knew where she lived in the district. It made things nice. She was fine with that one knowing as he usually wasn't an issues. The one and only brother she could stand. She woke up late today for the first time in a few years actually. She pulled herself out of her bed. She was stiff and in pain but hey that's what happened when you fought with people all your life. She coaxed herself into letting the pain pass through her as she got up to shower and get dressed. Upon being dressed she was out of the house. She was heading to the hub. It was the only place that she could get decent drinks of the alcohol variety. She wandered in and found a place and a drink. She leaned against the wall and watched people walk to and fro.
