Author's Note: Wow, I guess everyone is reading this since a lot of people are reading all five book of the Casey Series too! I guess people like it.
Unfortunately, I have a lot of homework. I have a huge paper due on Thursday that I didn't even start yet. So I'm stuck on Chapter 11 until that paper is handed in. Although, this chapter and chapter 4 will be posted then. So keep your eyes open for the next chapter! :)
"Casey Novak Jr. has entered the squad room" Danielle said loudly. Olivia turned around and didn't believe that Danielle was present.
"Danielle?"
"Hey Liv" Danielle said
"Wow, you almost look like Casey."
"I borrowed her lime green suit" Danielle explained "Before I somewhat insulted her."
"What did you do this time?" Liv asked.
"I said something I shouldn't have said...Where's Elliot?"
"It's a long story"
Kim Greyleck made a noise in her throat to get their attention. Olivia and Danielle looked at her.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have something important to say?" Danielle asked.
"Don't be rude to Greyleck again..."
"It's fine; really" Kim said "She's working under me for a field study."
"Wow, that's interesting."
"Have you seen the captain?"
"Yeah, he's in his office" Olivia replied as Kim walked away. Then Olivia looked at Danielle with a smile on her face.
"Good luck with that."
"Thanks, I'm going to need all the luck I can get."
"Is that Casey Novak?"
They turned to see John Munch walking towards their direction.
"Munch, my old pal! What's happening?"
"I lied, it isn't Casey. It's the little mutant who has the same genes as Casey" Munch said as they hugged.
"Ha, your jokes are going to get as old as you are soon" Danielle said with a smile on her face.
"So what are you doing here with Casey's lime green suit?"
"I'm borrowing it. I'm working under Greyleck for the year" Danielle explained.
"Have fun with that piece of work. No one likes her one bit." Munch said as he looked at his watch "Shit! Fin is going to shoot me if I don't meet him at the crime scene! I'll talk to you two later!"
"Bye Munch!" Danielle said as Munch walked out of the squad room "Tell your gangster friend that I said hello!"
"I will!"
By the time Munch left, Greyleck came walking back to Danielle and Olivia.
"We need to get going" Kim said "I need to finish a lot of paperwork."
"Don't tell me that we're doing that all afternoon!" Danielle groaned.
"You need to start with the basics. Come on; let's go."
"Okay. I'll see you later, Olivia. Lunch maybe?" Danielle said as she started walking.
"Sounds good to me. I'll call you" Olivia said as she smiled "See you later."
When Kim and Danielle walked out of the squad room, Kim got annoyed.
"Why is it that everyone is talking to you and not me?" Kim asked
"Probably because you're a bitch, but that's an obvious reason. A not-so obvious reason is that once in awhile I went to work with Casey when I came to visit" Danielle explained.
"You know, I could assign you paperwork for the entire year."
"And have everyone hate you even more? Don't bother" Danielle said as she pressed the button for the elevator "Maybe if I'm on your side, the whole squad will take you seriously."
Danielle came home exhausted that night. She did so much paperwork that it made her head spin. When she was looking for Casey, she found her sleeping on the couch in front of the TV. Danielle grabbed a pillow and hit Casey on the head.
"Huh?" Casey responded and Danielle wouldn't help but laugh.
"Wake up, you big couch potato" Danielle said.
Casey rubbed her eyes and sat up. When she saw Danielle wearing her lime suit, she was annoyed and confused at the same time.
"Why the hell are you wearing my lime green suit?"
"I borrowed it for today."
"Did I say that you could? The last time I checked, you insulted me like your stupid mentor did" Casey said as she lay back down on the couch.
"Casey, I didn't mean to say that. I was just...really angry" Danielle explained.
She took off the suit and threw it at Casey "Let me know when you're ready to forgive me. I'm taking a shower."
It was two in the morning when Danielle's phone was ringing. She struggled to grab the phone by the night stand and when she answered it, she wasn't too happy.
"Hello?"
"Novak, get out of bed now! We have a trial to get ready for!"
"Greyleck, it's two in the fucking morning. Are you insane?"
"Not as insane as you. Listen, I've never been to court before..."
"Excuse me, did I just hear that you've been prosecuted a case before?"Danielle asked in a groggy and angry tone.
"Uhhh, yeah."
"Great. I'm stuck with an inexperienced lawyer too..."
"That's why I called you. I want you to be second chair."
"I'd love to be second chair, but I love my sleep more" Danielle explained "If you call at this time ever again, I'll make you look like even more of an inexperienced bitch who thinks she knows everything. I'll see you at eight."
Danielle shut her phone and threw it on the nightstand. She was about to go to sleep when she heard Casey.
"Who called?"
Danielle turned around and saw Casey leaning against the doorway, yawning.
"My stupid mentor who has never gone to court before for this type of case" Danielle said "She wanted me to come in at two in the morning to prepare it."
"That's fun" Casey said sarcastically as she grinned "I'll wake you up at seven. See you in less than five hours."
"Yep, goodnight Casey."
