“Um… how about the Chinese place around the corner?” Alice interjected.

“Sure… I’ll go get it let me just carry these into the room” Bette said rather surprised.

“You don’t have to, we can just order it” Alice said.

“It’s better if I go… security purposes” Bette added still looking distorted with this whole situation.

Shortly after the four of them were eating in silence around the kitchen’s isle, as both the lawyers kept on glancing at each of their assigned agents.

“So how long have you two been in the force?” Alice broke the unbearable silence.

“Umm five years” Dana replied and Bette just looked at Alice with a raised eyebrow.

“Six, almost seven” The brunette replied.

“Do you like what you do?” Alice asked another question and at that moment even Tina looked at her wondering what the hell was this all about.

“Yeah I love what I do… what about you? Do you like being a DA?” Dana quickly replied which got her a questioning stare from her agent in charge.

“I absolutely love what we do there, and now that we nailed the last guy from our list I’m so excited this case if finally going to court” Alice replied and both the agents looked at one another.

“Fucking Ron” Dana exclaimed.

“Wait what’s going on now?” Tina asked concerned at their reaction.

“If you’ll excuse me for a moment” Bette politely said getting up, reaching for her phone.

“No wait!” The blonde demanded in a higher tone than she intended and the brunette froze on her spot just looking at her with a question mark on her face.

“I mean, wait please…” The blonde added trying really hard not to blush, but not really succeeding. “I think we deserve to know what’s going on here… if this is gonna work I think we deserve to know why is it that you do or say certain things. I know you are not here to explain your job to us but it would make things easier if perhaps you could tell us what’s going on from time to time?” Tina tried to explain.

Both the agents looked at one another, not really knowing what to say. They had never been in a position of having to explain their actions to anyone else but their Assistant Director and even then, half the time they didn’t.

“Would that make you feel more comfortable?” Bette asked the blonde.

“Yes it actually would” Tina honestly replied.

“Ok then. See our boss is supposed to inform us about things like this one, things that can actually change the situation because…” Bette made a pause trying to search for words that wouldn’t scare the lawyers.

“Because?” Alice anxiously asked.

“Because now this means you will actually move this to court so we have to be prepared” Dana interjected knowing what Bette’s silence meant.

“Prepared for what? I’m not following” Tina quickly added.

“Prepared for the worst” Bette simply said with apologetic eyes, she didn’t want to scare the blonde but she knew that if the mafia hadn’t really tried anything so far, this would be the final push they needed.
