A Different Time and Place - A Collection of WoSo one shots.

Courtroom Antics (Zadorsky/Sheridan) You choose the ending!!

AN: I'm going to write two separate endings for this story, I want you to comment if they should end up together or go their separate ways. I'll post the ending with the most amount of responses and maybe the alternative if you all ask nicely. 

"Your honour, I object on the grounds that she's leading the witness."

"Sustained."

Kailen Sheridan looks across the room at her counterpart from the law firm of Zadorsky, Quinn and Fleming. Shelina Zadorsky was the hottest lawyer in town, in more ways than one. She had yet to lose any of her cases since joining the firm as a Partner and Kailen was struggling to perform in front of the woman she had been in love with since they attended law school together.

When the verdict was handed down, Sheridan had in the eyes of the jury failed to prove the guilt of the client in the matter and the case was dismissed.

Shelina shook her client's hand and then walked over to hug Kailen, "No hard feelings. Are we still on for drinks later?"

"Sure, at 8 o'clock at our place. First rounds on you." Shelina laughs, "Deal. See you there."

Shelina collected her belongings and then left the courtroom, leaving only the smell of her expensive perfume behind. Kailen took a deep breath and then followed suit, before heading back to her cramped offices at Sheridan and Labbé.

Her and her business partner, Stephanie Labbé, badly needed the money that would have come from a decision in their favour in order to keep their fledgeling firm afloat; Kailen hated to have to tell, Steph of her failure.

Arriving she found Steph, sitting in her office downing a glass of whisky. She saw Kailen and poured her a glass as well, "I heard." "I'm really sorry, Steph." "It's okay, we knew it was a longshot anyway. The landlord delivered the eviction notice today, we have 30 days to vacate the premises unless we can come up with the 3 months rent we owe."

"The only case I'm working right now is a petty burglary, and it's a pro bono for a friend."

"Then, I guess we toast to the demise of Sheridan and Labbé, it was good while it lasted." "That it was."

Kailen arrived outside their place at 7:55 and entered into the crowded bar. She smiled when she saw Shelina was already there sitting and there was a drink and seat awaiting her. She took the spot beside the beautiful brunette, the dress she was wearing left very little to the imagination and Kailen took a sip of her drink and Shelina seemingly finished off typing a message on her phone.

"Sorry about that, Mike needs me to attend a dinner on Saturday with him and some prospective investors."

Kailen immediately turns away, at the mention of Shelina's boyfriend of two years.

"I know you don't like him K, but he gave me the buy-in money for the firm and I owe it to him to be the eye candy at his side."

Kailen mumbles, "Lucky him."

"What was that?" "Nothing."

"So, how are things going at Sheridan and Labbé?"

"Not good, in fact, we decided to go our separate ways. So, I'm effectively without a partner or a firm at the moment. I'm going to start putting some calls out tomorrow, to gauge interest."

"You could always come and work with me."

"Shel, that's not going to work and you know why."

"Just because you and Quinny didn't work out as a couple, doesn't mean she isn't aware of your talent in the courtroom. Not to mention I wouldn't mind seeing you around the office. Think about it, okay?"
