A/N: New idea! This does not fit with my other storyline, so we are pretending that Apollo did not meet Madeline 7 years ago, as stated in Turnabout Beginnings. I hope you like it! Review with any ideas and I promise I will make this work!

"Thanks," she said happily, all smiles now that she had her coffee. The woman nodded and got up, thinking hard. She walked absentmindedly to the elevator and pressed a button. Letting herself into the office, she cleared her throat softly. The prosecutor in question looked up.
"Can I help you, Ms. Brent?" he purred, flipping his blonde hair. She rolled her eyes, letting her irritation show for a minute. How could he just be sitting at his desk tuning a guitar when he had a trial in a few days? Then she regained her composure, raking her hands through her dark hair.
"Prosecutor Gavin, there's something you should know."
