Chapter 1: Peter and Ian
Penelope Clarisse had her nose stuck in a Death Note manga. She was a lovely young woman of about 19 years of age, with deep chestnut hair in a long, thin ponytail and sparkly green eyes. Needless to say, though she graduated perfectly from college, she still had the mindset of a teenager.
"Watari?" she mumbled to herself. "Wait, wh-" She turned the page and gasped, "Watari! No! No, not poor Watari!" She turned another page and wailed hysterically, luckily not too loud, "L! No, L! Don't die!!!" Suddenly a finger tapped the page she was on. She jumped and yelped in shock and looked up. What she found was her best friend since kindergarten, Peter Jackman. Peter Jackman was a rather handsome, sweet-looking young man about Penny's age with dirty blonde hair that reached to the middle of his neck and bright blue eyes.
Peter smiled at Penny and said jokingly, "Reading manga, huh?" "Yeah." Penny smiled, lifting her foot and tapping the light that had been turned off. "I'm on break, silly. Shouldn't you be?" Peter glanced at the light and chuckled, "I don't know the meaning of the word."
Penny groaned sarcasticlly and said, "You're a workaholic, ya know that?" Peter giggled and added, "We need the money, ya know." "We could always take up Marty's offer." Penny said. Peter just crossed his arms and shook his head strongly, "I refuse to sell weed on the street." he said sternly. "I was kidding." Penny giggled, closing her manga. "We should get back to work." Peter said with a smile.


Meanwhile, in the courhouse nearby, another man finished a speech in defense of his client, a middle-aged man falsely accused of rape. "And with that, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the evidence would point to this man being falsely accused." He bowed and returned to his seat next to his client and his two coworkers, one a man and the other a woman. The woman, a 20 year old blond, patted the man's back and said, "Spoken like a true poet." The other man, a 25 year old brunette, smirked and nodded in agreement. The man just shook his head.
Finally the jury made their decision and the judge smiled and said, "Court rules in favor of Ian Harrison. Mr. Howard, you're free to go." Mr. Howard was ecstatic to hear this and latched himself to Ian, telling him, "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" "Ok, ok, ok!" Ian said, pulling himself from Mr. Howard's embrace.
"Thanks, Ian!" Mr. Howard added before walking away. "Oh, and thank you too, Jack and Robin!" Jack and Robin nodded in his direction and the trio gathered their stuff. Ian heard a scoff behind him and turned to see a Latino man giving him a scornful stare. "Raoul..." Ian huffed. "You may be the most respected lawyer in Boston," Raoul sneered "but that will end one day. I promise you." With that Raoul walked away.
"Ignore him." Robin attempted to soothe Ian. "He's a jerk-off." Jack nodded, shouldering his briefcase. "Besides," Jack told him with a wink, "He'll miss out on the party."
