Kind of embarrassing.

... Mom treated me to a drink and some food before school this morning, and while we were in line some guy with... pretty horrible hair was kicking up a major fuss at the register

That nickname...it wasn't "Rookie Killer" was it...?

[capslockchords]

... That... might have been it, come to think of it.

Think you know him?

[wrightaway]

Sounds like a prosecutor I know, yeah. Not really worth remembering him though.

[nosugar_nomilk]

I might know who you're talking about, but I can't seem to remember his name.

I usually made my own coffee, but yes, competent prosecutors generally don't have to fetch coffee for themselves.

Shouting at girls in a coffee shop--there's no excuse for behavior like that. Pathetic. No wonder she laughed.

I could recommend you some good coffee shops in the area, if you're interested.

[capslockchords]

Huh, that makes two people then, I guess. I couldn't tell if he was serious or not though.

My dad would have said something to him though, if he had been there I bet.

And I don't really drink a lot of coffee, but I know my parents like it. So that would be cool, thanks Mr. Armando.

[nosugar_nomilk]

If it's who I'm thinking of, he would have been half-serious, because he's a prosecutor, but not much of one.

I'd have said something to him, too.

I'll PM you a list of decent coffee shops, then, if you think your parents would be interested. And you never know, you might get a taste for coffee yourself someday.

I don't get why a lot of lawyers don't drink the free coffee they have for us at the office, pal. Coffee is coffee! Tastes all the same to me.

[nosugar_nomilk]

Dick!

Don't you ever say that again. You don't know what you're talking about.

The office coffee is-- Words almost fail me, but that sour water weakly flavored with the ancient ashes of burnt beans: no one should call that coffee.

[duck_gimshoe]

But it's free, sir! Nothing beats being free! And it's the only kind I can afford anyway...

[nosugar_nomilk]

I'm not an unfeeling man. It's not that I blame you for drinking that travesty of a beverage, but don't talk about coffee like that. Every cup is not the same.

One of these days, I'll have to give you a real education on the matter.

[young_maiden]

What did I tell you, sonny? You can always pick out the bad apples by their nasty hairstyles.

[capslockchords]

He wasn't young, just so you know.

In fact, he was probably from your generation.

[young_maiden]

[young_maiden]

Th-that's not the point! It all starts with the young'uns! Once a whippersnapper, always a whippersnapper!!

[der_gewinner]

Ahahaha. I'm fairly sure I know who you saw, Herr Justice.

And to answer your question: the secretaries will occasionally run errands for us-- but by "us" I mean prosecutors, not janitorial staff.

[capslockchords]

That's what I had figured.

So... he's on the janitorial staff then? He didn't look like any of the prosecutors I've met recently. Er... that sounds kind of bad, but still.

[der_gewinner]

Ja, ja. We cannot all be rock stars, but I don't believe that man is responsible for anything more prosecutorial than condemning the floor buffer to a life of servitude.
