Mark: It's just a routine patrol car, it doesn't mean anything.
Elena: Routine patrol cars don't travel in marked federal tactical convoys.
The woman instantly jumps back to her feet and slaps the man across the face with full force, snapping his head to the side before the crowd gasps[cite: 1].
A sharp slap cracked like thunder across the pavement, followed instantly by a collective gasp from the stunned parents[cite: 1].
Mark: Argh! You... you struck my face!
Elena: That was for every threat you ever made against our family.
Mark: I'll have you disbarred! I'll ruin your career before lunch!
Elena: You don't have a career left to save, Mark.
Parent: Did you see how hard she hit him? Serves him right!
Second Parent: That man had it coming the moment he raised his hand.
Mark: Shut your mouth, all of you! Mind your own business!
Elena: Everyone here is a witness to your violent assault on school grounds.
Mark: I was defending my personal space from a trespasser!
Elena: Trespasser? This is where our daughter attends second grade!
Mark: You're going to jail for assault, Elena. I'm pressing charges right now.
Elena: File all the charges you want, but you'll have to sign them from a holding cell.
Mark raised his fist in a blind rage, preparing to lunge forward as the crowd screamed in terror.
Can Elena stop his violent advance before an innocent bystander gets caught in the crossfire?
