New story! Yeah, I'm having a lot of ideas lately and since I'm used on working on at least 3 stories at the same time I needed a 3rd and talking with Mags1st this idea came out. So thank you a lot Mags1st!

I know the couple is not a famous one... not at all. but please give it a try!

Lavi was waiting rather impatiently that the secretary called his name so he could go get his lawyer once and for all. He had already visited DLA Piper lawyers form the UK, Garrigues from Spain, Fidal form France, Dacheng Law Offices from China, Baker & McKenzie and Latham and Watkins from USA and they all refused. And those were supposed to be the biggest law firms in their countries or n the top 10 so, in the end, he went to see one of the most important firms when it came to dirty affairs: the Noah family. It was rumoured that they only took the dirtiest cases they could get their hands on and that the were the most expensive firm in Europe and North America, really expensive. But it was worth it: they had never, ever, lost a case. Not even their youngest members.

Lucky him, he did a small fortune with his dealings.

"Mr. Lavi Bookman, they'll see you now." The secretary, a girl with pale bluish-greyish hair said. Her name tag said Mimi. "Second door on the left."

"Thank you." He said and went to the door and knocked. Then waited.

"Come in." Came a voice and he opened the door only to blink at the sight before him: inside the room there were fourteen people one of whom was a little girl, she couldn't even be sixteen!

Now, one would expect that being the most powerful firm around they would be working, instead: two boys and one girl were running all over the place chasing… a squirrel monkey. An orange squirrel monkey. Another boy was reading a novel, 50 shadows of grey, if he's eyes were not deceiving him. Another one was writing music, the only female was doing her nails, four more were talking about last night soccer match, another one was… doing nothing, just watching everyone, another man was playing poker with another boy (and for the looks of it, they were betting money) and the last one was…crocheting.

"Lavi Bookman, right?" The one that was crocheting said.

"Yes sir."

"Alright. Everyone, let's go to the room." He said and immediately everyone minus one of the guys who was talking about the match, stopped doing whatever they were doing, stood up and went to an adjoining room. "Jasdero, Devit, Road." He said and the three went back to the big room. "Lero." The orange monkey jumped to his arms and they entered the room too, Lavi trailing behind. "Please, sit." He sat at the chair in on of the extremes of the table, being that the other free chair was in the middle of the music-writer and the elder poker-player.

The weird thing was that the other two boys (curious, they were both white haired. Such a strange (and unprofessional) colour to dye their hairs) were in the room and dressed in tailored suits.

"Mr. Bookman, I'm Adam, but everyone calls me Earl." Presumptuous.

The Earl then presented everyone: Nea Walker (the musician one), Lulu Bell (the woman), Fiidora, Maashiima, Maitora (the match one), Wisely Kamelot (the reader-boy), Judge (the one that didn't move), Tyki Mikk and Allen Walker (the poker players). Those were the lawyers of their firm.

"There's also Sheryl Kamelot, he should arrive in no time, he was in his final trial." The Earl said and he nodded. "If you don't mind, we have a few questions for you, Mr. Bookman."

"Please." He said.

"Why did it take you so long to come to us?" Wisley asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Wanted to see if some of the cheapest yet best firms would do it." He said, shrugging. "It seems to be it's too much of a challenge for them to take."

"So you were willing to go to jail just to save a few pennies?" Fiidora asked again and Tyki chuckled and mumbled something as 'As if he wouldn't.' while pointing at Allen, who was sitting next to him and rolled his eyes.

"I would have taken it as a chance to record what's going on inside the prison." Lavi replied.

"Why information trafficking?" Maitora asked.

"Gives a lot of money and you are usually safe… until someone betrays you and talks to the feds of a few different countries, that is." He said bitterly.

"So, which country are we going to deal with?" Nea asked.

"It's not a country… It's the UN."

"The United Nations?"

"Yes. That's the reason every other firm has refused to take my case." Lavi said, feeling a bit more nervous because now was the moment in which he knew if he was going to be taken or not.

"Allen." Everyone looked at him and Lavi saw a weird mark on his left side of the face.

"Yes Earl?" Wow, it was true they called him that.

"You did the International Law master's degree, right?" The boy nodded. "How many years?"

"That depends on which country it is that he is going to be sent to prison. However I'd say for most of them is going to be life. However, in case that we lose, we can always ask for it to be Spain, Croatia, Mexico, Portugal, Brazil… they don't have life penalty, as you know, maximum is 40-45 years, we could work on that. Although the best might as well be Cape Verde or Paraguay, maximum is 25 years." He said and Lavi gaped at him.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty two. Why?"

"Hum… No, nothing." He muttered and then looked at the other white haired boy, who didn't seem much older. He was going to say something else, when the door behind him opened and another man came in.

"I'm sorry, we got a bit delayed." The man said and sat on the only free chair. "Hello, dear brother." He said and kissed Tyki's cheek, making the man to grimace.

"You are giving me goosebumps." Tyki said as he pulled away form him.

"Hello, Sheryl."

"Good afternoon, Earl." He greeted with a small nod. "What is the case?"

"Information trafficking. Prosecutor is the UN." Toraido quickly filled him in as he gave him a portfolio with all the information.

"Are we taking it?" He asked and Lavi heart skipped a beat at the question.

"Yes, of course. Question is, who can take it?" The Earl said and Lavi felt like a big weight had been lifted off his shoulders. "Tyki?"

"I have my hands full."

"Fiidora?"

"Can't. I have already three cases."

"Allen?"

"I have three and I'm going to meet with my four. I can help if needed, but just that."

"Wisely?"

"I have two guys to prison, one in Tajikistan and the other one in Tasmania, I won't be around enough to take it."

"I'll take it, Earl." The man that just came in, Sheryl, said.

"Are you free?"

"I just have one more case to wrap up, should be done by next week. Two at most. Besides, this one sounds really interesting. Aldo, I'm looking forward to work with Allen!" He said as he hugged him hard.

"Sheryl… can't… breathe." The boy said and the man released him.

"Sorry cutie."

"Don't call me that." The boy muttered and everyone around laughed at him.

What kind of lawyers are they? Lavi asked himself as he watched them interact.

"Mr. Bookman." He looked up at the Earl.

"Yes, Earl?"

"Where are you staying now?"

"A motel outside the city. Why?" All the member of the family looked at each other and nodded.

"You'll have to move in with us white the trial is going on and before."

"What for?"

"If they catch you they might forbid us to be your lawyers." Maashiima said. "We have a deal that if our clients are in our residency they don't have to go to jail."

"Oh… All right." He said, still a bit confused, but no way he was going to jail just for staying at a cheap motel.

"Perfect. Wisely go with him to pick whatever he has with him up and go back home. Is there someone who needs to stay tonight? The Earl asked and only Maitora raised his hand.

"Make sure to lock everything when you are done."

"Of course, Earl." He said.

"Alright. Is someone else besides Tyki-pon and Allen-tan is going out?" No one raised their hands.

"We are not going anywhere, Earl, today." Tyki said. "We've decided to stay home." He said and hugged the white haired one by his shoulder before kissing his head.

"I don't know what's worse." Nea grumbled and Allen stuck his tongue to him.

Lavi watched them curiously, were Tyki and Allen together? It seemed so.

"Mr. Bookman, we should get going." Wisely said and he nodded and followed him, but not without doing a reverence to everyone.

"Thank you so much for taking my case." He said.

"Don't thank us. We thank you for bringing something fresh, new and exciting." Nea said, grinning and everyone smiled at him.

Creepy…

He left with Wisely in his car. "So… you are all family?"

"Something like that. It's really complicated to explain." Wisely said, but Lavi could see he was not evading the question.

"We have a 45 minutes ride." Lavi only said.

"Tit for a tat?"

"Why not? So, are you or are you not a family?" He asked once more.

"Sheryl, Road –the girl who stayed outside during the meeting– and I are. Sheryl adopted Road when she was 5 five and adopted me when I was 7. Sheryl and Tyki are brothers, but Tyki changed his surname. Allen and Nea are uncle and nephew. Allen is in a relationship with Tyki and Nea is with the Earl. And the other two that stayed outside are twins, the blond is Jasdero and the other one is Devit." The white haired explained. "My turn, you use the Bookman title, are you the successor?"

"Was going to. Until my master found out I was slipping information and kicked me out of the clan." He sighed and shook his head. "What he didn't know I was the largest contributor of the clan, so they are going to see the money slipping out of their bank account." He finished and thought his question. "What about the rest?"

"They are members somehow related to us, but I cannot give you further details without the Earl's clearance." He replied. "Ask something else."

"Ok. Why do you call him 'Earl'?"

"Because he is an Earl. Or someone in his family was. He doesn't like to talk about it, so we don't ask." He turned right. "How long have you been passing information from countries to countries?"

"Hum… About 5 years or so."

"How could you do it for so long?"

"The name 'Bookman' can open a lot of doors. And they had never seen my face and I never used the same name in two countries." Lavi explained. "It's here."

Wisely nodded and followed him inside. In less than ten minutes they were driving back and talking, only this time they were talking about music and other stuff.

"So you speak seven languages?" Wisely asked, impressed. "You'll like Allen, then."

"Why?"

"He speaks twelve, that's why he usually takes on the international matters." He explained.

"Twelve?"

"Yeah. English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swahili, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Russian and Arabic. He can also read and write them."

"How does he speak so many languages?"

"The only ones who know are Nea and Tyki, but they never talk about it. As far as we know, Allen suffered a lot before Nea found him."

When they arrived to the mansion he whistled, low. "You live here?"

"Yeah, we all live together, so if someone gets stuck in a defence can ask someone." Wisely explained. "We all have our private rooms, bathrooms. Allen and Tyki as well as the Earl and Nea have more like a small apartment, just in case they want to be alone for a couple of days or so."

"That's wise." He said and followed Wisely to what seemed to be the family living room and to his surprise everyone was there: The Earl was crocheting again, Nea was playing a white piano a slow melody, the built guy that stayed outside before was eating candies, the ones that had been talking about the match were now looking another one, in silence, even the TV was mute, Mimi, the secretary was doing Lulu's nails, the twins were throwing paper balls to a paper bin, Road was simply petting a golden monkey (just how many monkey's did they have?), Allen and Tyki were lying on a couch cuddling and finally his eyes drifted to a figure that was reading a book The Art of War. Great book.

"Give me your bag, one of the maids will set you room ready." Wisely said as he took it.

"Thank you." He stood there, not knowing what do, so he settled to walk up to Sheryl and tap his shoulder. "Mr. Kamelot?"

"Ah, Mr. Bookman." He closed the book and looked at him. "Is there anything I can do for you?" They didn't see Allen crack one eye open to look at them nor how Tyki seemed suddenly interested in them instead of solely focusing on his boyfriend.

"I just wanted to thank you for accepting my case."

"The pleasure is mine. Not always I can work with someone so… interesting, Mr. Bookman."

"Please, call me Lavi." He said, smiling.

"Lavi." The man said and nodded.

"If you excuse me, I'm a bit tired from the run." He excused himself and left the room in silence. Wisely, who was going back to the room gave him the direction to get into his room and once he was there, he flopped on the soft mattress. "God, what the hell is going on?"

He had heard about the Noah taking some of their clients in, but he had always thought it was just a rumour. But it was not. He was going to live for a while with the most powerful lawyers in the world, he could see how they worked, how they interacted… everything. How awesome was that? He knew a lot of the Bookman clan members wanted to be in his position, but they couldn't.

This was going to be an awesome experience, whether he ended up or not in prison.

So, what do you think? Have I gone far too crazy and outside the box this time? I just have been wanting to write something about those two for a long time and this scenario came out and I really liked it.

Oh, all the firms mentioned at the beginning of the chapter are real ones.

Thank you for your time! Please review!
