    Author Notes:

    Chapters 1 & 2

    "Sounded like you were interested in coming up against me a few minutes ago," Bette countered. 
    Tina’s eyes widened and she was left uncharacteristically silent at the retort.
    Bette could hardly believe she said it herself, and felt Tina’s silence presented as good an opportunity as any to make her exit. She couldn’t help but have a grudging respect for someone who was so willing to put everything on the line for a case.
    Bette looked forward to putting another notch in her win column after establishing that nebulous legal standard: reasonable doubt. The guilt or innocence of her client notwithstanding, she had a job to do. And Tina was merely an inconvenience that she had to manage along the way to doing it. If day one was any indication, this promised to be a fun trial.
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    "She infuriates me!" Tina replied into the phone. "She’s arrogant, completely without a moral compass, and has scant respect for the law itself!"
    "She has full and complete respect for the process though, and she knows how the courts work," Brad replied. "You have to learn to finesse the system a bit. She’s been at this a while."
    He was right. Brad was on point with his assessment, and Bette knew how to work it. Tina was grateful to have him to continue to introduce her to this "system" she needed to learn.
    "Do you want to meet for a drink after work and we can go over the case for tomorrow?" Brad asked.
    "Can’t we meet before the end of the work day?" she asked. "I’ve already got dinner plans tonight."
    "You have a date?" He was fishing for information now.
    "Yes, a dinner date," Tina replied, hoping she sounded convincing.
    She’d only been at the District Attorney’s office for two months. This was her first case to go to trial, having taken a leave from a tenure track position at Loyola Law School for an opportunity to actually apply the law again. She was presently wondering at the intelligence of her move.
    "I knew someone who was observing in court today," Brad said. "He said you and Bette had words after the sidebar with the judge. Don’t let her get to you. She loves to undermine the newbies."

    6. Fantastic!!! Just write to your hearts’ content and then more. Loved this version as well and who knows what will happen. Will this end up being published, sure hope so. Just keep writing dear, we’ll read.

    13. Wow, I didn’t know this was your story. I loved the last one. This one looks like it’s going to be great too. Tina seems a lot more self assured and appears to be hard to impress. Bette has her work cut out for her.

    15. I loved the original and im loving this version, as well. I must admit i didnt know it was you. Although, i was curious by the cryptic authors note. However, i decided there was some reasoning on your part to remain anonymous. It definitely added to the mystique. Thanks and im looking forward to seeing where you take this.

    18. I thought that might have been you! Does that sound creepy, I don’t even know you? Lol. It is not meant to be, more a testament to your unique, impressionable, and powerful writer voice. Will always read anything you write. Looking forward to more.

    23. You wrote “Held in Contempt?” WOW. You’re such a good and prolific storyteller. I wonder what’s the incentive for using an alias? Well, this version looks promising and I like the new twists. I trust that you’ll keep us interested and entertained. =) And though I may not have the chance to visit the site, read your posts and other unique stories and comment as often as I want to, please remember that I heart your body of work and your generous spirit. May your Muse never cease to inspire you! Many thanks for another gem of a story, jks. Cheers! =)

    27. Oh i can’t wait to finally read this I’ve heard so much about this fic tibette cute flirty and in love all while opposing lawyers.
