Another Jack and Mike father/son bonding moment. (Sorry, contains some Sonya Paxton bashing lol, but I thought it fitted well with the story). Let me know what you think:-)

Office of District Attorney Jack McCoy

Mike lingered in the doorway of Jack's office, resting casually against the wooden panelling, sleeves rolled up and hands in his pockets.

"Jack, you wanted to see me?"

Jack glanced up from the pile of statutes that were sprawled across his desk.

"Yes Mike, come in." His voice sounded terse.

Mike made his way briskly across the room, before taking a seat opposite Jack's desk. Something told him that this was urgent.

Jack removed his glasses. He leaned over his desk, his expression serious, his eyes penetrating Mike's.

"Mike, how do you explain being caught in the closet with three, attractive, young ladies?" he wanted to know.

Mike gawked in surprise, annoyed by Jack's distasteful accusation. "What Jack?" he blinked irately. "I've never been caught in the closet with three girls!"

"Calm down, Mike, I'm not accusing you," Jack retorted. "I don't suppose you have ever been caught in the closet with three girls. You're not that popular."

Mike stared down at the floor in discouragement. "Thanks."

The older man leaned back in his padded leather chair. "I'm asking you for advice, because I was this afternoon."

"You were what, Jack?"

"I was caught in the closet with three girls. God Mike, concentrate!" Jack retaliated. "And now the press is all over it. I tell you Mike, being a politician isn't what it's cracked up to be. The press is already making a meal of this little incident of mine."

"Yeah? What do you want me to do about it?"

"I'm asking you to come up with an explanation for me to give to the press."

"Oh." Mike hunched over in his chair, his eyebrows frowning in thought. "Well, in that case, you could always tell them that you, and these three supposed girls, were hiding from Sonya Paxton."

"That's brilliant." Jack sat up in astonishment. "That's a great excuse. I mean, they'll buy that, because Sonya Paxton is such a bitch, everyone tries to hide from her. And she does tend to smell a bit after returning from the bar." He leaned over his desk to get closer to Mike, and lowered his voice. "Between you and me, I think she has a bit of a drinking problem."

Mike nodded knowingly, crossing his legs casually.

Jack stood from his chair and made his way towards the doorway.

Mikes eyes followed him. "Where are you going?"

"Foley square. I'll show that paparazzi what I'm made of," he announced. "I'm going to hold a special conference outside the courthouse. Thankyou Mike, my life is in debt to you. I'll give you a special mention in my speech."

Mike slowly stood. "Ah, Jack, I don't think I should be involved," he said carefully, approaching him. "I mean, I did date Sonya for a while, just after I got my promotion."

"Great, I'll tell them she gave you crabs!"

The end.
