A/N: Takes place during season 1 episode 8 of Blue Bloods. Set midseason 5 of Smallville. Clark is nineteen and Erin is twenty-five.
"Erin, you've gotta give me something I can work with. Otherwise that scumbag down the hall gets to walk."
"I know Danny, but there are rules and laws and we have to follow them. I'm sorry, but you have to let him go."
"Do you know what you're doing Erin? Do you understand that this guy is our only lead to-"
"Look Danny, I get it, and I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is."
"Yeah, and I'm sure that your apologies are going to mean so much to the people behind this…they'll probably be laughing all the way to the bank." He muttered as he walked away, returning a minute later with the suspect who was wearing a broad grin as he walked toward the door.
"Keep your nose clean." Danny called, shaking his head in disgust as the man flipped him the bird.
"You just had to be a lawyer."
"Well I happen to like lawyers." Clark Kent said as he walked into the precinct just behind the suspect Danny had released, the Detective noting that the man was now sporting a freshly broken nose.
"And who are you?"
"Clark Kent. I was just passing by when this man tripped all over himself saying that he needed to talk to the police. Something about an illegal adoption agency?" He said with a smirk, which Danny returned as he walked over to them.
"Is that right?" He asked the suspect, who only nodded in return.
"Well then, let's talk. Oh and Kent, why are you really here?" He asked, making Clark chuckle.
"Like I said, I like lawyers." He replied, walking over and kissing Erin soundly on the lips.
"Ready to go?" He asked, and she grinned and nodded before taking his hand. As they walked out the door Clark yelled over his shoulder.
"Check your email Detective…Just to show you I've got nothing to hide."
"What was that about?" Jackie asked as she walked back into the room.
"I met Erin's boyfriend." He replied as he pulled up his email.
"And?"
"He's a real smartass."
Sitting in his inbox was an email not more than ten minutes old. At the bottom was a postscript.
My lawyer sends her regards.
