Author's POV: The Monday came and so a new week started with it.Yana already settled herself in Elijah's apartment since Bruno brought her the rest of her stuff she needed from her place.
She was standing in front of the mirror in the bedroom getting herself ready for the day while Elijah was in his office finishing some stuff.
He told her to announce him when she's done,so they can get going.
Yana walked into Elijah's office which its door was open and saw him talking with someone over the phone.
She was standing in the doorframe with crossed arms laying her head on the left side of the doorframe staring at Elijah who was walking through his office and as he saw her,he smiled and said"Alright,thank you!"And hung up.
"Are you ready to go?"He asked,she nodded smiling and both left the apartment.
They arrived at the prison where they met with Zaire.They sat down at a table and waited for Zaire.
The door opened and Zaire was led inside by two cops.His handcuffs were removed and the cops left letting them having a private conversation.
Zaire sighed and spoke"You two again."Yana was about to say something,but Elijah left her with her mouth half opened and said"It's nice to see you,too."And added a smirk at the end.
"We're just here to help."Yana tried to sweeten the situation."You mean fail me?Can you even imagine how much money I invested in you to get me out of here?"Zaire started being reproachful to Yana.
Elijah chuckled making Zaire moving his gaze to him."It's funny."He said with crossed making Yana and Zaire confuse,"It's funny how you suddenly don't like her since she started working with me even though you needed her help and it was your choice to take her as you lawyer since she's the best in the city."Elijah started being reproachful too.
Zaire just scoffed and asked"Then why can't she get me out of here?"
Elijah responded trying to make everything clear"We all know it is hard and we all know Alexander has bribed the judge."Then Zaire arrogantly requested"Why don't you use some of your mafia tricks that your father has taught you and get me out of here?"
Elijah sighed and answered calmly"Because I'm not my father."
"And let us not forget that you have a criminal past behind you,but obviously no one knows about it."Elijah tried to remind Zaire of his past which made him uncomfortable and he cleared his throat.
"But Alexander escaped,because he was smart and if you want to be smart too and want to get out of here,you better trust more."Elijah suggested trying to get in Zaire's mind with his words.
"Now-"Elijah wanted to say,but he was interrupted by someone who entered the room.
Everyone looked at the door and saw Miriam who looked confused for a second.
"Uhm,excuse me,but you're in the wrong room."Miriam said approaching Yana with crossed arms."I'm sorry,but I'm in the middle of a conversation with my client."Yana mentioned staying strong.
"You mean my client,because Mr.Martinez let me take care of the case."Miriam commented."But I didn't agree to that."Yana replied arrogantly.
"Listen,I don't even have to give any explanation since I'm the executive director."Miriam maintained getting annoyed by Yana's behavior.
"Just because you're the executive director doesn't mean your my boss now."Yana tried to put her on her place."Ok,you need to listen-"Miriam tried to to be rough,but she got interrupted by Yana who jumped out of her chair and started talking too.
Both of them talked at the same time and with every word they said they got even louder and started gesturing too.
Elijah just stood there with crossed arms and a smirk on his face admiring how Yana is trying to be rough and Zaire was completely confused by the situation.
Suddenly Mr.Martinez and a cop appeared.The cop intervened between Yana and Miriam trying to separate them.Elijah intervened too not letting the cop hurt Yana,he stood up and he dragged her to him.
Silence stroke in the room for a few seconds while Miriam and Yana breathed heavily.
"What is going on here?"Mr.Martinez wanted to know walking past Miriam and arrived with his hands in his pocket in the middle of them.
"She's stealing my case."Miriam claimed first pointing at Yana."What?"Yana expressed herself loudly.
The girls were about to argue again,but suddenly the cop and another one intervened and so they separated the girls by putting them in two different cells in the departments office where all the cops worked.
Yana grunted as she placed her head against the wall with her hands in her pocket while Elijah approached the cell she was in and leaned himself against the wall too.She looked over the room and could see Miriam in her cell talking to Mr.Martinez over the bars.
"What are we gonna do?"Yana asked Elijah staring at him."Well first we need to get you out of here."Elijah mentioned looking at her too.Yana grunted again closing her eyes and looking up.
Suddenly she started laughing about the situation making Elijah staring at her in confusion,"What's so funny?This isn't the time to laugh."He warned her being seriously."I can laugh,because I know you can get me out of here."Yana responded back as if she knows he can.
Elijah sighed and mumbled"I need to find someone first."She then approached the bars and grabbed two of them with her hands as she looked in Elijah's eyes verbalizing in a funny way"Then do it!"
Elijah turned his head slowly on the other side,but his eyes widened as Yana mentioned"Mafia lawyer."
He turned his head back to her and she explained"Handle this matter with your mafia tricks."
Elijah sighed again and said"Alright,I'll do it my way."And opened his one blazer button with the right hand.
Promptly Yana got her head and her right arm through the bars and wrapped her arm around Elijah's neck.
"Great,that's what I wanted to hear."She said being all relieved.And finally she placed her head on his shoulder and her right hand on top of the left one.

At the same time Mr.Martinez left too and Miriam and Yana faced each other across the room.Both of them giving each other sharp looks.
