AN: Something a bit lighter on the Kate/Jake front lol It will probably get darker knowing me but you know we'll see how it goes. Usual banter for now. (In this Fic the two are already a couple.) please say if you want another chapter as I wrote this really randomly when I was suffering from writers block. Xx
"That was your fault." Kate gave Jake a stern look.
"How?" He laughed knowing full well he'd made her jump which was why half a dozen files now lay on the floor in a heap of paper. Not his best idea.
"You are such an idiot." She rolled her eyes. "You did that on purpose."
He held out his hands as though he was going to be arrested. "Ok. You got me."
"Oh grow up." She rolled her eyes smiling as she playfully slapped the back of his head. "You can pick those up for me now."
"What are they for anyway?"
"Judge Lockwood has granted a retrial for Adam Scarrow." She explained and he followed her from the corridor into their office.
"Adam Scarrow."
"Yes. Adam Scarrow."
"Who's Adam Scarrow?"
"June 5th 2010 he was sent to prison on a ten year stretch for poisoning and killing his brother. Now thanks to some journalist and shaky evidence he's got Lockwood doubting the original trial. He thinks maybe he was innocent after all."
"What do you think?"
"The guy is guilty as sin. The poison, Lead Acetate, was found at his house and he had a motive. His brother was sleeping with his wife and then she found out she was pregnant. She wanted a divorce. Can hardly run off with Loverboy if he's dead." She finished.
"You never read all of these in the ten minutes you were gone."
"I remember this case. A friend of mine was the defence. I said they'd never get him off."
"You were right."
"I'm always right." She smirked before turning to get a folder from the shelf behind her desk. "Can't reach."
He got the file down. "Short stuff."
"Hey." She pretended to look offended. "I'm not that small."
"You're like an elf."
"Right. I'm not talking to ya." She turned her face from him and he laughed putting his hand on her cheek forcing her to look back at him.
"You love me really."
"Shut up." He hugged her even though she tried struggle away from him.
"Come on." He pulled back walking to his desk. "Lets make a start on these."
She joined him at his desk which was when he put his arm on her shoulder.
"You know you make a good armrest."
"Right that it!" She exclaimed laughing as she tackled him but he just picked her off the ground.
"Do you concede?"
"Yes I concede." He put her down and she straightened her top.
"Truce?"
"Truce." She nodded. "Can we please get on with some work now?"
"Now there's something I never thought I'd hear you say..."
"You'll be out the bloody window in a minute." She smirked before picking up a file and making a start.
