Martha walked up to a man reading a magazine...and smoking.
"I'm sorry, sir," she said quietly, "but this is a non-smoking facility. I'm going to have to ask you to either put out your cigarette or please leave."
Lily looked up at the sound of Martha's voice. Who was dumb enough to smoke in a library?? She looked at the man briefly as Martha confronted him, then turned back to her research.

"I'm sorry." Mateo put out the cig with his hand. "Miss that beautiful lady there, I'm curious...What is she doing? I'm debating wether stay put or to walk up to her ask her on a date."
Lily
Martha looked over. "Oh Lily? Well, she said something about law and public defenders...I don't know what's going on with her, but she's not the type to get into trouble, you needn't worry about that." She neglected to tell the man that Lily had a boyfriend; she was perfectly aware of what that good-for-nothing did to her and approved of Lily seeing other people, even if it meant cheating.

"Thank you." Mateo got up and walked over towards Lily, "Mind if I keep company?"
Lily
Lily looked up as she was approached and shrugged. "It's a free library," she said, turning back to her book. She wasn't particularly interested in getting a date at the moment.
▒Dev☻n▒
"What you doing there?" He took a seat next to her
Lily
She slid her book away a little, rather cautious, but continued reading.
"Reading up on public defenders," she said bluntly, hoping the chance of having a record would scare him off. "Know any?"
▒Dev☻n▒
"Know a few." Mateo smiled. "Need one in particular?"
Devon was typing up a letter when he recieved a call.
"Yes Boss?" He answered
At the other end, "Where's the girl?" After a short talk...
"Oh fuck..." He didn't waste any time, quickly got his coat and walked out of his office.
"Alice, any meetings cancel them." She nodded.
Devon dissappeared in the elevator
Lily
Still Lily didn't look up. Wouldn't this creep take a hint?
"Not in particular. I only need a public defender because there's a private lawyer I'm trying to avoid." She rolled her eyes. "Arrogant, stuck up prick. Anyway, one that could build a good defense against suspicion of murder would be preferable." If THAT didn't get rid of him, nothing would...and she'd know something was up.
▒Dev☻n▒
"Murder?" He acted surprised, "Woah yeah that's...wow." He stayed quiet. "I...You seem like a nice woman...I don't want to jump into any conclusions but...I know someone. He isn't the rich cocky sort yanno?"
Lily
"Yeah?" Lily sighed and finally looked up. "Who?" She had a feeling she knew already.
▒Dev☻n▒
"He's an old chap of mine. His name is Rick Vandervon. His office not far from here. It's more like a house." Mateo told her.
Devon was frustrated. Traffic jam.
Lily
Lily raised an eyebrow. So Devon -hadn't- sent this man? "Oh? And what's he do, exactly? Strictly murder cases, or is he more the ambulance chaser type?"
▒Dev☻n▒
"Murder isn't his thing since bad guys seek for him to represent, but he's all on good work clean cash yanno?" Mateo shrugged slightly, "If you want I can walk you there?"
Lily
"I dunno..." she said slowly. "I know you say he's clean, but I think I'll take chances with my own research. Thanks, though." She smiled politely and tried to signal that the conversation was at an end. She didn't like going to places she didn't know about to meet people she didn't know with strangers, especially strangers who smoked in libraries.

occ-hun the guy said the lawyer doesnt take the bad guys
Lily
ooc-Well it was hard to tell.
"Murder isn't his thing since the bad guys seek for him to represent" only told me that the bad guys think he's good. XP I'll edit it.
