Audrey sat at a table in the far corner of the restaurant, nearly hidden behind the gigantic menu. It was a fairly upscale place, more expensive than she usually went for lunch. But as she'd told Jim Gordon over the phone, she had some City lunch money to spend. The allotment for her position wasn't huge, but she didn't do "working lunches"

Jim Gordon arrived slightly late.

Nature of the job. Just as he'd prepared to leave, he'd been called by Jane's lawyer. A good kid, from what he'd heard during their conversation. Overworked but trying to devote as much attention to every case as they deserved. He'd burn out in a year, Jim worried. He'd called asking if Jim knew the cause of the marks on Jane's neck when she'd been arrested. Jim had told him that he thought Jane's victim, whom she'd been impersonating, and her boyfriend fought often. It wasn't a lie. They did fight. And he knew Harvey had worried more than once that the fights got physical. It also wasn't the truth.

Twenty minutes after he was supposed to meet her, Jim took a seat across from Audrey. "Sorry," he muttered, giving her a bit of a smile when he sat.

Audrey observed him as he came in and smiled when he sat down. "Hi...No problem. Everything all right?"

"Had to deal with lawyers," Jim answered, chuckling a bit. "Never fun. Especially when they're defense lawyers."

Audrey laughed. "Poor you. How're Barbara and Jimmy?"
