" Can I come in " asked a Pleasant smooth calm voice...he was standing parting the door a bit wide..with white tucked in shirt and grey Suit...with forget me not Blue eyes clean shaven roundish face and black hair.. a small smile playing on his lips...with one hand at the door and another carrying a small briefcase...the room was fairly simple...had a table with all modern paraphernalia..and a woman was seated...it read Jane Sullivan District Attorney of Texas...boldly in brownish Black metallic nameplate...Roundish face...black hairs...waist length.. and on the slender side...with beautiful chocolate brown eyes...without looking at his direction she said "come in..." while she was going through a classified file...
" I guess you heard the news...Jane..." said the man...
Jane looked up calm...nothing gave away her thinking..." Looks like you have made your point Dom...i get it...-" he was cut short by Dom " ah! its just the beginning Ms Jane...you have to see a lot still..." Jane was getting a bit frustrated every second this man was standing there..."i guess i am invited!! and as you are not in the state to offer a seat..the gentleman i am...i will sit myself ...here..." and he sat in front of her table...happy with that smile still lingering..on... Jane was getting pissed by the second...which anyone could tell by sudden flush in her cheeks...still she pressed on trying all her might to be calm..."...Tell me Mr. Dominic Parker....what you Possibly (stressing the word as if it offended her) gain from all this??? i mean we all know you can twist a lie into truth in few moments..." She snorted sarcastically..." you have name... fame...wealth...quite a few admirers.." she glanced at the Juniors working outside her cabin ".....and success...if i am not wrong..you have a very impressive record...of 93 % success...making it the second highest success streak!! after me...that is..." she added smugly"....y have you put all that at stake in THIS case of all the cases...what interests you?? "...
All the while Dom was sitting... playing with the paperweight...twirling it all over...he stopped the spinning paperweight...slowly looked up and said coolly ..." if you don't know the craft of law..then its your folly janie..i am a lawyer in International Court Of Justice not for nothing...besides everybody can have their 'personal' reasons...like say... you??? " he pointed moved his right hand as if introducing her to someone...cocked his head sideways as if Judging her..."is it ethical (stressed that word as in ...calm retaliation) that half of the prosecution in this case is made up of family members with vengeance in their mind??"..he resumed the spinning of paper weight..."...i'm sure the judge would need some fresh set of eyes to look at the case.." and he quietly laughed to himself straightening his Collar...Jane's self restraint was at it's limits...she ground her teeth.."Out...before i lose my patience...GET OUT!!! "...she held the top of her seat tightly...controlling her anger...
Dom stopped the paperweight's spinning with left hand...raised both of his hands...and said laughing.." ok...ok...i will not push you any further...as it is things are complicated for you ...i wont stoke the fire more...go home janie...take rest...'cause...you have a long day tomorrow...." Jane shouted..."OUT!!!!..." making the juniors look up from their works..all around the office.. Dom took his briefcase..and slowly headed to the door..." My dear Janie...Its Just The Beginning..."
