The flight across the Atlantic had only taken about as long as her morning walk through the Old Presidio back home. Still, it had given Erika what she was sure had been plenty of time to formulate her strategy. Her lawyers (all fellow graduates of the ever-prestigious UC Berkeley Law School) had chided her for her insistence on showing up before the date of the summons and unannounced. What they failed to see, Erika saw with perfect clarity: this was politics, not law. She suspected that she was better than all of them at the law part, but she knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that she was better at the politics part. That’s why they sat in shiny offices downtown and collected fat paychecks, but she was the most powerful woman in the world, even after leaving office.
