A few days later, there was tension between the Novak sisters in their office. Casey believed that she was ready to take on a major case and that the man who committed the crime should get the death penalty. Danielle believed that the man might deserve the death penalty, but she knew for certain that Casey shouldn't try the case.

When Olivia walked into the office, she already felt awkward.

"Hi Novaks"

They both looked up at each other.

"I think she rather talk to you" Danielle said as she looked back down at her paperwork.

"Maybe I wanted to talk to both of you" Olivia said as she sat down on their couch.

"Don't mind my sister. She's jealous because I have the Devilin case" Casey said.

"You have the Devilin case?" Olivia asked

"Greyleck had to give it up because she had so many cases."

"Casey, don't you think it's a bit early for you to try a case like this?"

"Ha! See Case? I'm not the only one who believes that!"

Both of them looked at Danielle Novak and while Olivia looked surprised, Casey looked angry.

"I believe we weren't talking to you..."

"Then why don't you leave the office?" Danielle asked in an angry tone.

"The last time I checked this was our office-"

"It was going to be my office if you didn't get your law license back..."

"I'm about to smack you..."

"Hey!" Olivia shouted to break up the verbal fight "Let's get along for once, okay!?Geez, I can't remember a time when the both of you were like this! Look, I know that the death penalty issue is going to air tonight. Can we try to get along until then?"

"No"

"Danielle!"

"Don't mind her" Casey said "The jealousy is getting to her."

"Didn't you just say that two minutes ago?" Danielle asked in an annoyed tone

"Apparently you're too stupid to understand the English language..."

"I'm the stupid one? I'm not the one who was suspended for ten months because I didn't take my medication!" Danielle shouted as she got up from her desk with her files.

"Where are you going?" Olivia asked

"I'm working with Kim for the day, since my older stupid sister is calling me stupid."

Danielle walked out of the office and slammed the door. Olivia looked at Casey with a worried look.

"Do you think this will blow over when the press conference is on tonight?" she asked.

"Maybe, but then again, Danielle is the most stubborn person anyone will ever meet."

Kim was surprised to see Danielle with her stuff in her arms.

"What are you doing here?"

"My sister is driving me crazy, so I decided to relocate..."

"There's no way I'm sharing my office with you."

"Why not? You know, I have a feeling that you never liked sharing anything" Danielle said as she placed her things on the table.

"Fine, you can work here for the day" Kim said as she sighed "But the conference better make the both of you settle down and be Best Friends Forever again."

"I can't believe you just said that."

"I could say BFFs..."

"Never again!" Danielle said as she started working on her paperwork. Kim chuckled to herself as the both of them worked in their comfortable silence.

There was a lot of tension in the Novak apartment that evening as the both of them were sitting on the couch, waiting for the conference that would reveal the decision of the death penalty in the state.

"Do you think they're going to give us the death penalty?" Casey asked. There may have been tension, but at least they were talking to each other.

"They should. The states that border New York have the death penalty, why shouldn't we? A better would be is what would you do with your case depending on the outcome?"

"It's for me to know and you to find out. It's starting..."

Casey and Danielle saw McCoy on the TV screen, waiting impatiently for the decision.

"The state of New York finally made the decision" McCoy stated "They decided to regain the death penalty as a punishment for hideous crimes."

"Mr. McCoy, are any of your lawyers using the death penalty as a punishment in their cases?" a reporter asked

"We do have one case, and I am happy to say that the lawyer who is prosecuting this case will be able to prosecute this case effectively. That's all I want to say tonight, thank you."

"Well that will make me sleep tonight" Casey said as she got up from the couch and tossed the remote on Danielle's lap "I'm going to bed."

Casey left the room, and Danielle could only think about her sister ruining this case.
