    “I loved how you started it, but the ending sucked, man,” Abrams said laughing.
    “Okay, if you’re so great, how would you do it, Abrams?” Will asked.

    Abrams sat in Professor Kirshner’s class listening to him pounce on each student he called on. Insult after insult, Kirshner annihilated each of his prey. Students sat stunned and shocked by his cruelty. By this time in the semester, Kirshner had called on every student in the class at least once. Unfortunately, Abrams’ study group had been called on several times each. Just when they thought their row was safe, Kirshner would surprise them by starting to call on the front row once again.
    It seemed that Todd Garner was the only student that did not get blasted by Kirshner. Todd appeared to be “the teacher’s pet,” if that was possible with a professor like Kirshner. Todd finished briefing a case, and Kirshner was not happy. He was in an unusually vicious mood that day. Kirshner called around to several other students and finally decided to once again focus his venom on the front row.
    “Mr. Freeman, you appear bored. So, entertain us with your brilliant wit. Tell us all about it,” Kirshner said, waiting to jump down Abrams’ throat at his first mistake.
    Abrams sat quietly, not even making eye contact with Kirshner. “Do you have some kind of a hearing problem, Mr. Freeman?” Kirshner yelled.
    Abrams folded his arms and smiled at Kirshner. “You have five seconds to brief the case. If I don’t hear you briefing that case when I get to five, I am going to fail you from this class. One – Two – Three – Four – F…”
    Abrams jumped over the desk and slammed his textbook into Kirshner’s face, and he fell back into the podium. Abrams grabbed Kirshner by the arm and shoved him over to the window. He grabbed the cord for the blind and wrapped it tightly around his neck. He pulled the cord as hard as he could. Kirshner flailed his arms around, trying to break free.
    The entire classroom just sat there watching Abrams murdering their professor. No one moved from their seat – they just sat and watched – almost quietly cheering Abrams on. Kirshner’s face became red, then blue. His yellow-orangey eyes bulged out of his head, and then his arms finally stopped moving. Abrams released the cord, and Kirshner’s body fell to the floor. Abrams looked up and the entire classroom stood up and clapped.

    “That was way lame,” Sean yelled with a piece of pizza in his mouth.
    “Big time,” Jack added.
    “Come on, now, I thought that was pretty damn good. At least I actually killed him,” Abrams said, looking at Will.
    “Ya’ll are sick,” Amanda said, refilling another glass of sweet tea.
    “Not only are you sick, but you guys are the worst killers of all time. You might as well drive right to the police station after you’re done,” she laughed.
    “She’s right; a good murder must be carefully planned. One does not just kill somebody on the spot; it takes hours and hours of planning to make sure you don’t get caught,” Jack declared.
    “You sound like you are talking from experience,” Will mumbled.
    “No, but I have read enough good mystery novels to know how to plan a decent murder,” Jack claimed.
    “So, let’s hear it then. Tell us how you would do in that evil dick,” Sean challenged.
    “I’ll do better than tell you. I’ll show you,” Jack said confidently.

    “You got internet here, Amanda?” Jack asked.
    “Of course. What, you think I’m just some dumb hick girl?” Amanda snapped.
    “Yeah, yeah, get me into Lexis,” Jack quickly responded.
    “Give me your username and password; no way I’m using mine,” Amanda said. Jack quickly gave it to her.
    While most law students only used LexisNexis to look up case law and regulations, LexisNexis was a great tool for getting information on people.
