"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Zoe stood in the office beside Foggy with her arms crossed over her chest. She kept tapping her foot. She really had nothing she could do right now because she didn't want to touch the case and accidentally mess things up for Benicia.
"I'm friends with Gary Fienstein in the DA's office. I'll give him a call first thing in the morning, see where their heads are at. I'm guessing they're gonna puff their chests, but they have to know murder two's a risk. We end up at manslaughter, we get the right judge, maybe she's out in five to ten."
"What?" Zoe gaped.
Matt stood a few feet away from them, "We're not taking a deal."
"No, this is why they have deals, Matt." Foggy huffed in shock at the two of them, "So the straightforward cases don't waste everybody's time."
"I thought Matt said he didn't think she did it."
"Zoe, come on, she's the sole suspect, found at the scene, covered in blood, with murder weapon and no defensive wounds. If they offer anything it'll be a gift, and we will take that gift. We do not want this to go to trial."
"They don't want this to go to trial, either." Matt pointed out to him, "Why hasn't she been charged yet?"
"They have twenty four hours." Foggy huffed, there were moments where Zoe agreed with him, but the moments where she was on Matt's side he felt screwed, "And it's the weekend. They're gonna take every last second to college evidence before they move."
"Did you hear yourself earlier, Foggy?" Zoe crossed her arms over her chest, "They've got the evidence. This is a good arrest, Foggy. We should be reading about it in the papers. There's something not right about this case. I can feel it."
"You can feel it?" Foggy rolled his eyes, "Zoe, it does not help at all that this woman is someone you know or at least knew. I don't think your judgment is the best right now."
"Fine. Benicia and I were friends. But what about Matt?"
Foggy snorted at this, "All right, I'm just gonna say this once, and we can move on. Matt, you don't necessarily show the best judgment when beautiful women are involved."
Matt simply smiled in amusement at this accusation, "How would I even know if she's a beautiful woman?"
"I don't know." Foggy groaned out, "It's kinda spooky, actually. But if there's a stunning woman with questionable character in the room, Matt Murdock's going to find her and Foggy Nelson is gonna suffer."
Matt chuckled at this, "All right, I don't disagree with anything you're saying."
"Thank you."
"But I need you to back me and Zoe, anyway."
Foggy saw this coming and just groaned louder, "All right. Fine. Let's start with the obvious, then. If she didn't do it, who did? We're dead in the water if we don't give them an alternative."
