Upon seeing her former mentor and her arch rival prosecutor banded together in a nightmare team, Mina wanted to say, "What do I owe this displeasure?"

Instead, she decided it was best not to annoy them. They both had bigger mouths (and statuses than her) and could crush her.

Ivor placed his hands on his thighs and leaned forward. "What a coinc-y-dink seeing you two here!"

Blind lifted his shoulders and tossed his hair back. "I suppose you're here for the same reason as I."

Ashley Ryan raised her eyebrows, her feline-like eyes narrowed like a grumpy cat. "Of course, you don't need to be a genius to figure that out. I am securing my role as prosecutor for the president."

Mina's face flushed. It was time to finally defend her boyfriend. "I'm sorry," she said, putting her hand in front of Blind. "But did you receive a personalized phone call from the Prez's wife? Willy did."

Predictably, Ashley just gave a caustic sneer. "Like that matters, undergrad. I am the top prosecutor in this county, therefore anything of ultra serious matter gets deferred to moi!"

"Actually," an older female voice said. "I was looking specifically for Mr. William Justice."

"Why?!" Ashley's voice and eyes raised.

An older woman with short greyish-brown hair and a indigo pants-suit stepped outside the president's ward. She looked exactly like Mina assumed the first lady would look like. A silver lady, but dignified and well kept.

"Because, love," Blind answered, speaking for both himself and the president's wife. "I worked on a previous case with the Louses. I'm surprised someone as well read as you didn't know that!"

Ashley's nostrils flared as her cheeks turned bright red in embarrassment.

"Oh wait," Blind said, showcasing his strangely sassy and metro side. "It was strictly confidential. Even a top kitty like yourself wasn't privy to it."

Ashley raised her white-gloves lined with sharp cat claws. She was fuming and looked to Mina like she wanted to scratch Blind's eyes out. He was lucky that wasn't a possibility anymore.

Blind turned to the president's wife. "Mrs. Louse, it's a pleasure to see..I mean, hear your voice again."

Louse looked quite confused. "Did something happen to your eyes, William."

A look of pain in the form of a grimace came across Blind's face. "It's a long story. Hopefully, one I will be getting to the bottom of real soon. Either way, it's a pleasure to serve you again and..."

"Ba-ba-BUT!" Ivor exclaimed. "Hold it like I'd hold the mayo on my pumpernickel and pickle sandwich. Mrs. Louse, I'm sorry, but Mr. Justice here has handed in his badge."

"To who?" Louse asked.

"To me!" Ivor Ebony bragged. "He is no longer authorized to work in this county. I'm sorry to say, but you will have to go with my prime and proper...and prissy attorney, Ms. Ryan!"

Even Blind was at a loss for words it seemed. Mina could do nothing but squeeze his hand tightly.

"Sorry," Ashley laughed. "Looks like you got Blind-sided!"

Surprisingly, Mrs. Louse didn't look all that enthused about having Ashley as her prosecutor (and Mina couldn't blame her. She wouldn't want Ashley defending her for a parking violation.)

It seemed hopeless, until Blind chuckled. Even that got Mina wondering what was up his sleeve. She would have voted him the least likely person in the room to laugh. But here he was laughing right in their faces.

The normally smug mayor squawked out a loud "What gives! Did you just flip your wig?!"

"Oh it's not a wig," Blind said, brushing his shining locks. "And Ashley won't be your prosecutor. Why? Because I nominate my amazing lawyer girlfriend to be your prosecutor instead!"

Blind held his hands in front of Mina like he was presenting an invaluable treasure.

"Whaaaaat the whaaaaaaaa?!" Mina said, her face fixed in a confused open-mouthed smile with her eyes slightly crossed.

Now, it was Ashley and Ivor who looked like they'd flip their wigs and were about to wig out majorly.

"Of course," Blind said, "She will have guidance from me in the courtroom."

Ashley took her cat claw gloves and sliced the air, causing everyone to jump back to avoid getting swiped in her fury. "You can't do that!!!"

"Actually," Blind smirked. "I can. This is what we lawyers call a loophole."
