Title: Chapter 2: Nightmare
IMHO Bridget deserves it. It is that we will no longer go into the subject of Kayla and her mind reading because she would have saved Lexi thousands of problems but hey... Why didn't Omega believe in her best friend? Even though she told him over and over that it wasn't her. Despite how overwhelming the evidence could have been, there are 3 things that I do not accept:
1- Suppose she had really been Lexi. Did Bridget seriously believe that she would not tell the truth of what she had done to her friend to save her time from torture? If Bridget really knew Lexi for so many years, as she said, she should know that if her friend didn't say so it was for something.
2- Why was the chewing gum evidence not relevant? If Lexi was in that alley and had traces of the chewing gum on her shoe, it implies that she did not clean them which means that traces of the skin, bones or blood of the Betas that she had allegedly beaten would have remained in the alley. And if these traces were not found then the story of those 5 was not entirely true. To top it off, there was one left to wake up and they didn't even bother to postpone the "Lexi sessions" until she woke up. It was easier, for the Omegas, to follow the evidence of a stranger (who by the way, no one bothered to investigate from the beginning) rather than the claim of innocence of an Alpha they had known for years. I don't blame Bridget for that, she's just an Enforcer after all, but I do blame Evelyn. I guess Lexi was just followed by her heritage. Ha ha ha
3- If it really had been Lexi, did the Omegas seriously believe that she would be so stupid? When you commit such a crime, in Ackbar's universe haha, everyone knows the consequences if the truth is found out. So it would have been easier for Lexi to erase all the evidence of the crime. It would be easy for Alma's daughter since she knew how Omegas worked and no one had to know.
So in short, why didn't Bridget believe her friend? Why does she treat her like she's just another crap Alpha who mistreats Betas? Why didn't the Omegas even bother to corroborate Lexi's version, as incredible as it was? Well Bridget there you have the consequences. You will have to live with it.
Author's Response: I'm sure Lexi has wrestled with some of these same questions. Thanks for reviewing
