"I’ll fax it over," Tina said. "You should have it within the half hour."
"Will you be at the office for a while?"
"At least until six," Tina replied. "Any reason it will take longer?"
"I should get your cell," Bette said. "Just in case."
"Right," Tina said. "Just in case."
They exchanged numbers and disconnected the call.
A flurry of faxes and phone calls passed between their two offices before they reached an agreement. They would be able to discharge this case by 9:30 the next morning and move on.
"Now that this has been taken care of, would you like to meet me for a drink?" Bette asked.
"Sure, a quick drink would be fine," Tina replied. "I’m sure you want to talk about the research for the Supreme court case."
‘No!’ Bette thought to herself.
"Yeah, I thought we could touch base on that," Bette replied. "I’ll pick your brain a bit – see if it’s something I think I can add to."
They agreed on a location and were soon on their way there to meet.
Bette arrived at the lounge, attached to one of her favourite restaurants, well before she expected Tina to get there. She spied one of the maitre d’s she knew and waved him over to ensure she got the table she preferred.
She soon saw Tina being escorted her way. Bette stood to greet her and gestured towards the free chair.
"I’m glad you got a bigger table, there are a few things I’d like to set out to show you what’s going on with the case," Tina set her briefcase in before taking her seat.
"How many people are working on it?" Bette asked.
"Dozens," Tina replied. "But the relevant case law is daunting. We have a lot of constitutional experts, but as I said, a different perspective can be a real asset."
"A dearth of criminal defense attorneys I trust?"
"They haven’t been leaping at the chance to leave a lucrative practice to do this type of work," Tina said. "Not that you have to leave practice."
"That wouldn’t be very realistic," Bette replied. "And please don’t paint me with the same brush as you would all defense lawyers. I do have some standards."

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.

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.
This is interesting and like it. Please post more, thanks!
Friend of the court, really?

Yay! A new story from one of my favourite author. Love witty court setting – reminds me of the good wife. Thank you!
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! =)
