DISCLAIMER: please, I hardly own a TV to watch the show.

Howdy! Im sorry I coult update any faster but my baby got sick( by baby I mean my computer and by sick I mean broke) and it just got back from the hospital, as soon as she arrived we started to work on this, it isn't what I had in mind, to be honest its kind of a filler chapter to give you a chance to get involved and for me to be able to give you what you want, I always say that I am open to suggestions not because I don't know what to do but because I like to do my best and perhaps Its easier if I know what you guys want, please don't be afraid to tell me anything, don't hold back any idea or alternative situation you may have thought about.

Ok now you can read and please review.


Ok great...yeah don't worry...i don't really think its that bad, but we'll talk about that on Friday...stop apologizing i just hope i can be of any help... ok bye.

"so, can you help them" Kirsten Cohen said as she hugged her husband from behind, he stood facing this huge window they had in the living room and it gave this amazing view.

"i don't know, she didn't tell me what her friend problems were, but i think is nothing serious, I've taken a few cases involved in the media and mostly they just try to scare away the competition"

"Well then is probably nothing to worry about"

"Still she did good asking for help, the sooner the better, always"

"yeah"

"i was thinking maybe asking Seth to help me with it, you know he could learn to manage this kind of cases, plus he lives in new york i think he´s gona have a bunch of this"

Sandy said as he turned around and faced his wife, wrapping his arms around her as he did so.

"i think that's a great idea" she said, then leaned and kissed him lightly

"mm I'll go find him right know"

"ok, and bring them up to have dinner" she called after him once he was almost out and she heard some noise she interpreted as "will do" she wasn't quite sure though.

Ryan was watching TV, waiting for Seth so that they could go and have dinner with sandy and Kirsten but he wouldn't come home and it was pass 8:30, it had been the fourth night in a row since they were living together, he tried to argue that it had been a bad luck that once they had moved back he had to stay later but Ryan was sure he was probably coming home sooner that he used too when he lived alone.

Just then to interrupt him from his thoughts a very exhausted looking Seth stumbled into the apartment and then launched himself in the couch adjacent to where Ryan was, he laid there with his eyes closed, Ryan the turned of the TV and adjusted himself so that he was sitting.

"Man what's going on with you?"

Seth opened his eyes as if to make sure it was for him

"Mm nothing I'm just tired why?"

"I'm sorry, I know you don't wanna talk about this but i think we need too"

Seth stared at him having a clue as to what was all this all about but wanted to think he didn't so he tried to ignore, he stood up and took of his tie walking towards his bedroom, getting rid of his clothes on his way.

" Seth don't walk away, I'm trying to talk to you"

Seth didn't answer

"I'm just worried man"

"Well don't be" Seth came back wearing a tee shirt and jeans

"Look this is my job i am just getting started and i don't really have nothing else to focus on right know, i don't say anything to my parents because they would never leave me alone, but you Ryan, you should understand"

"We just want you to have fun"

"and i will, its just that right know i cant, its not my time yet, this has been my life for the past six months and i wont change it because you got here, i am glad you did but this is just the way it has to be for me right know, can you accept that?"

"i don't really have a choice, have i?"

"no"

Before Ryan could go any further they heard a knock on the door, Seth looked at the door, and then he looked back at Ryan as if telling him that the conversation was over and done, then he proceeded to open the door.

"Hey son"

"Hey dad" he said as he moved so his dad could come in

"Mom kicked you out?" Ryan asked, sandy shook his head no and was about to talk when Seth interrupted

"She send you to get us?"

"No, actually I came here to tell you something about work"

"Ok, what about it?"

"I got this call a while ago, this friend of your mom, Susan..."

"Oh yes I remember her, she's really cool"

"Well she has this friend who needs some legal advice and she asked me if i could help"

"So you need help giving advice?" Seth asked a little unsure

"no, the thing is that she is involved in the media, which means she probably doesn't really have any trouble, they are just trying to scare her away but I thought maybe you could come with me and have a chat with her, I think you could really learn how to manage this kind of cases"

"Oh ok, yeah that would be great, when are you meeting her?"

"We agreed lunch on Friday"

"i think that works"

"Great, now let's go your mom must already have diner ready"

"So she did send you to get us"

They began walking towards the elevator when sandy asked

"Why hadn't you gone up already anyway?" he said looking at Ryan, Ryan looked at Seth and he told him with his eyes "don't"

" we where watching TV and didn't notice what time it was" Seth lied not feeling like going trough another discussion about his work, it wasn't like he was a workaholic but when you are alone in such a city like new York, you get used to doing something all day so that when you go home late and tired you get straight to bed instead of thinking how lonely you are, plus he needed to do it because he had a lot of work, he would try to get settle as soon as he could even if it meant being tired for two months so that when he actually met someone to spend his time with he could have free time, it was weird but it made sense to him and he knew not to even bother trying to make his parents or Ryan understand because they wouldn't, they couldn't.

There's something about appearances, people will believe anything that seems okay even if it isn't, it's a matter of stereotypes, which tell you all you have to be, all you have to do and even what you have to think, it doesn't matter if you feel okay with it, all that matters is that it looks okay, it looks normal, but a weird thing is that most of the times it looks okay but it isn't and when it is okay most of the times it doesn't look that way, so of course no one would find it healthy for him to keep himself busy, that he doesn't really have a life out of his work, and why is that because its not normal but then again, could you explain normal to me? What is normal? If you think about it, there isn't really an answer, there isn't such thing as normal, but you have to fit that non existent stereotype, otherwise you are in trouble somehow, why am I telling you all this, because that's what goes through Seth's mind all the time and my wish is for you to understand him because if you manage to do so and only that way you can go through the new phase of this story that its about to begin, we are about to enter a place of complex people, of mixed emotions and confusing feelings, a phase were we can see the human side of beautiful people, and sometimes that's not so beautiful.

But who ever said he didn't have a life out of his work, people thinks he just works, nah not really, he doesn't really go out but he doesn't work that much, sometimes he gets sick of documents and laws and articles and all he wants its to take his mind off, sometimes he thinks, sometimes he reads, others he watches TV and most times he writes, why doesn't he go out?

Because he cant, he has the time, he has the place, he has the money, but he hasn't the desire to do so, you cant force yourself to have fun, it would be like eating when you're not hungry because fun like food it's a need yes but its more of a pleasure, its something to be enjoyed and it cant be done when you don't fee like it, still he does have fun, he just has it his own way, he spends most of his time at the office but does anyone knows he has a psp2 on his office, or has anyone seen the movies collection? No, they all see what they wanna see, and why does he spends all the time at work instead of doing all that stuff at home? Because that would be even worse somehow, at least now he does something productive and he can say that he's trying to focus on the future but if he just went around doing nothing… that would seem even less normal than working hard.

We live in a twisted world and too this point if something Seth has learned is that there's no point in trying to figure it out, you just got to learn the game and manage how to play it your way.


Ok this is kind of whatever, just to make clear Seth's situation, we already saw summers, now like I mention we are about to start the new phase, the real story this was sort of the introduction, so I need ideas, first I was gonna have them meet in this chapter but then I thought nah, not yet, first we need to ask what would people like to see, lets give them a chance to get into the story, so here it is

would you like them to meet immediately or do you want some drama?

Lets get this over with and start the real thing?

what happens after they meet?

what do you espect to see when they first see each other?

I do have some ideas but perhaps you have better ones, so lets give it a try, youve been warned, now its up to you, the sooner we figure out what to do,the sooner next chapter will be out.
