DING! DONG!

Geneva taps her foot constantly, impatiently waiting for the door to open. The box she has in her hands is deceivingly heavier than it looks.

Moments following, the door Clicks! open and Saul smiles at her widely. "Hey Geneva!" He greets and gestures for the journalist to enter his home, "I see you got all the data."

"Yeah, a lot to sift through. There's information overload happening in this cardboard box," She jokes then sets it on the table. Geneva takes her jacket off and looks around Saul's place.

"You've got something nice here," She comments, hands on her hips and smiling, "It's cosy."

"Thanks. A lot of it is from bargain markets and pawn shops," He tells and she nods her head. She spots a vinyl record player that looked like it was made in the 80s and smirked.

"Don't we all live like that?" She says and he chuckles, "So... let's get into it!" Geneva walks over to the box and starts taking all the documents out. In the mean time, Saul fetches two beers from the fridge and opens one up for his colleague.

She thanks him the takes a seat at the table. Saul sits opposite her and quickly goes through what type of documents Geneva has got a hold of.

"These are... Wow! How did you get all this stuff?" Saul asks, impressed at her skill. "Well I have my ways. I might have hacked a place here and there and MAYBE black mailed a few people?" She bits her lip and he raises his eyebrows.

"Huh you're quite the lawyer aren't you?" He chuckles and she runs s hand through her hair. "Whatever I need to do my job, it's everything I have," She responds and shrugs her shoulders.

"Same here..."

After a pause of silence and contemplation over the topic, the two professionals return to their task of finding dirt on their client's opposer.

4 and a half hours later...


"Okay so... to recap," Geneva gathers the papers she had placed as a separate sorted pile and looks at them, "Lionel Riviera is responsible for fraudulent financial and taxation accounts, both avoiding and adjusting to his own personal benefit. There's evidence here of an email exchange with Parker M., not sure what the 'M' is but, that shows indications of schemes to being about advantageous earnings for some shareholders and not others."

Saul nods his head and walks over to Geneva, looking over, "And here there's some sort of purchase from Bridgestone Ltd. which is, when I researched, a stock and shares consultancy company."

Geneva grins a little, "I think that could the in quite well with the whole shareholder scheme. I mean Lionel did want to get out whatever he could and with this professional help, he's achieve complete nd double the amount of return on his investment."

Geneva raises her hand for a high-five and Saul slaps his hand to hers with thrilling feeling running through his veins. He can feel that this case is going to be good, this lawsuit can go in his and his client's favour.

"Saul you're going to... nail this," She comments and smiles softly, "Not that I doubted you before but yeah."

He places a hand on her shoulder and says, "Thanks for all this Gen. I won't let you down." He winks at her and they share  moment of a lingering stare.
