"If this is a trap, I'll kill you."
The jerk shrugs, "Yeah well," Closes the door behind us, "I never liked the whole 'lawyer' thing much, anyway."
~
When a thief and a lawyer cross paths, it's only a matter of time before the lawyer realizes that they're the real thief behind their next Hearing, proving their client to be innocent. So obviously, the lawyer turns in the thief, right?
Right.
Except, every time alarm bells go off in Mr. Johnson's rich little head, Nova's dimples disarm the entire system.
It's only a matter of time before the thief disarms *him*.
