    Held in Contempt Chapters 1-4

    ”I plead temporary insanity,” Tina said. ”At least I got away with it.”

    ”Sorry for calling you a bitch. Heat of the moment.”

    ”I can’t say I’m sorry I said what I did,” Tina replied.

    ”Neither am I. I am surprised the fact that you date women didn’t filter its way through the grapevine of courtroom gossip, though,” Bette said. ”Obviously you knew about me, or you wouldn’t have said that.”

    ”Your reputation precedes you.”

    ”Do you remember the first time we faced each other?” Bette asked.

    ”Four years ago,” Tina said. ”I had just moved to the D.A’s office after abandoning my quest for tenure at Loyola.”

    ”That’s why you appeared out of nowhere,” Bette said. ”You weren’t practicing – you were teaching?”

    ”I fell into a faculty position after finishing my Ph.D. at Oxford,” Tina replied. ”But I missed the practical application of the law.”

    ”You don’t respect me very much,” Bette said. ”You think I do the devil’s work.”

    ”I couldn’t defend some of those you defend,” Tina said. ”Their guilt matters to me.”

    Their conversation was interrupted momentarily as the check was presented by the server.

    Bette reached for it, took a quick glance, and set her credit card inside the folder before placing it back on the table.

    ”Thanks for dinner,” Tina said. ”The meal was fantastic.”

    ”And the company?”

    ”Surprisingly entertaining.”

    ”I offer the defence due to my clients by virtue of our justice system,” Bette said. ”No more, no less. Who I defend is not who I am.”

    ”I’ll keep that in mind,” Tina replied.

    Bette was soon decelerating her car as she pulled in front of Tina’s house.

    ”Would you like to come in for some tea?” Tina offered.

    ”What, no scotch?”

    ”If you would prefer scotch, I can make that happen,” Tina said.

    ”I’m joking, tea would be great,” Bette said. ”When does your work day start?”

    ”I usually get in by 8:30,” Tina replied.

    ”I promise to have you in bed by 11,” Bette grinned.

    ”I don’t know quite how to take you,” Tina said. ”I’ve heard you’re bold, but…well, I’m rarely left so speechless by someone.”

    A few moments later, Bette joined Tina in the kitchen as she poured the boiling water over the loose leaves in the pot.

    1. Hi jks:
      This is an excellent story, it is amazing, very well written, the plot is quite attractive and it hooks me up very easily, I haven’t read that story before, and even though you may post it with a different name, thank you so much for this gift.

      P

      • The first chapter is close to the same as the first chapter of Amicus Curiae, but it diverges quite wildly from there. Completely different story, though the setting is the same. Thanks for reading!

    2. Well, as I’ve said before, I love reading your stories and this is one is no exception.

      As a retired lawyer (UK) I love the setting and the dialogue.

      Thanks for posting. Keep those chapters coming and I’ll keep reading!

      • Hopefully I don’t make it too unbelievable for someone who actually has training as a lawyer! I do not, I only have my imagination, and sometimes it takes me to places for plot purposes that stretch what could possibly happen in the real world. Thanks for letting me know you’re out there reading.

    3. A story that i defiantly recognize, but i still don’t know what your aliases are. But i think the site has just give me a clue, but to be sure i am gonna check it first.

      I am happy that you have decided to post this story. Thank you for it.

    4. Great as usual. It does start off similarly to “Amicus Curiae” but then becomes quite unique. You still have that stellar gift of dialogue, snakiness and humor. Am anxious/excited for more.
