The next morning I was waiting at the office for Matt to walk in. I had been trying to call him all night and he had not answered. I went to his place and there was no answer so here I was waiting for him to show. I finally got sick of waiting and called Claire who had also not heard from him. We are both worried and all I could do to occupy my time was to watch Karen going through the mail as I sat there perfectly still staring at the door.

"You know the whole, "let's stay out all night thing?" Foggy asked Claire as he stumbled out of his office obviously very hung over.

"Yeah." She replied. "How about next time we skip the part with the eel? And were where you? We went to Jossies and you weren't there." She asked me.

"I was busy," I told her not really knowing what to say.

"Doing what?" Foggy asked as if I did not have a life outside of this room.

"Let's just say I was having fun with a man I tied up," I responded as I tried to play off my night as something much more interesting.

I could not help but notice the wide smile on Karens face as she looked away and tried not to blush.

"Too much info, too much info," Foggy said as he refused to make eye contact with me.

"Well deal about the eel," Karen said as she obviously tried to change the subject.

"Hey, what do you think about getting a sign on the door?" Foggy asked us.

"Well, you got a sign," Karen said as she pointed to the pathetic one hanging outside the door.

"A real one would look nicer," I told her.

"You should get some clients first." She told him being the practical one.

"Just a little sign. What could it cost?" Foggy asked not wanting to give up on his sign idea.

"Foggy you can barely afford to pay me." She reminded him.

"I thought you were working for free?" He asked her threw his signature grin.

"I...did...for a day." He answered but before he could say anything else the door opened and in walked Matt.

I latterly rumped up from where I sat not being able to contain my excitement to see him walking in through that door.

"Hey you know she's not really free?" Foggy said to Matt the second he saw him walk through the door.

"Hey?" Karen responded as she playfully smacked his arm.

Matt quickly looked in my direction before turning his attention back to the other two.

"Jesus, what happened to your eye?" Foggy asked as he noticed his cracked open eyebrow that sat above his bruised, swollen eye. There was still dried blood on the corner of his face.

"Are you okay?" Karen asked him in a much nicer tone then Foggy had.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine." He answered.

"You don't look fine," I said to him as I realized he took a much worse beating then I could have imagined.

"I just wasn't paying attention last night. It's my fault." He answered.

"You need a dog," Foggy told him.

Matt smiled before answering him. "I'm not getting a dog."

"If I was blind I would have a dog," I told him because I loved dogs, well all animals actually.

"See. What don't you like dogs? Who doesn't like dogs?" Foggy asked him.

"I...I love dogs," Karen told Matt.

"Everybody loves dogs," Foggy said right before a knock at the door interrupted us.

We all turned our heads and looked at the door, shocked that there was someone there.

"Was that a knock?" Foggy asked.

"Someones at the door," Matt said stating the obvious.

"Our door?" Foggy asked again in shock.

"Uh... Karen." Matt said causing her to shrug,

"For the love of Thor," I said as I got up and walked over and opened the door.

To say I was surprised to see a very well dressed man standing there would be an understatement.

"Hi." He said in a very cheery voice. "Do you do walk-ins?" He asked as he walked in before I could even answer.

"That's my cue to leave," I announced as I waved and walked out of the office stopping before I closed the door.

"Take it easy Matt," I called out quickly then shut the door behind me leaving the three of them to do whatever they do when I'm not home.
