 Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦Sawyer was silent for a moment, then spoke. " No." He said it simply, but decisively. He stood upright, hands on his hips. " I don't care what you want, Cecil. You're innocent, you aren't the Nightingale, but without me, you'll be convicted and executed. They will murder you, and I won't have an innocent man's blood on my hands. Now shut up and eat your chocolate bar." He thrust the bag towards the police chief, stubborn as ever. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

  Cecil blinked in surprise for a moment then frowned at Sawyer. "No." he replied. Two could play at that game. "Even if you win, people will think I'm the real Nightingale, and they'll hate you for letting me go. You'll lose your job! And-and what about you? You've spent all your time on me. Have you even talked to anyone? Your friends? Your son?" He refused the bag and turned away again. "They have to change lawyers if I request it, right? I'll let the government get a replacement tomorrow.""YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!"

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦" My career? Do you have any idea how big this'll propel me into super-stardom?" he asked, setting a hand on his hip. " I am the best in my field, and without me, you'll fry. But when I win, and I did say when, the fact that I got a potential Nightingale off will make me bigger than any dumb OJ Simpson case. I won't need my partnership, I have more than enough money to start up my own firm. And besides, Parker's a teenager now. He's just pissed off that I've been spending my time trying to take care of you instead of stifling his creativity. He'll get over it. Also, I don't have any friends. You're kinda it." He sat back down in the chair, crossing his legs and leaning back. " Now I've spent a lot of time on this case, and I won't give it up because you're starting to feel guilty. How do you think I'll feel when some second-rate lawyer gets you killed?" ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

"I don't get it." Cecil said after some time, struggle in his expression. "You used to tell me that you got obviously guilty people off the hook without batting an eye, now you say you'll feel guilty if I'm convicted? We've been friends for less than a month, why would you risk everything for my sake?""YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!"

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦" Cuz I like ya, kid." He shrugged, as though this should've been common knowledge. " I mean, sure, you're definitely not the friendliest person I've ever met, but you're a good person. I don't get to meet many of those in my line of work. Also, you kinda remind me of me when I was younger, not to sound too cliche." He stood up again, reaching out and setting a large hand on Cecil's head, ruffling his hair gently and smiling down at him, the dim light hanging from the ceiling glowing just behind his head. " I believe in you, Cecil. I know you didn't do this. I'm gonna work hard to keep you safe and prove you're innocent, so just trust me, okay?" ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Cameron West Despite the chaos he had created in the past week, nobody held anything against Cameron. Why? Because this was normal. Every chance he got he tried to take control just so he could approve his requests for stupid events. If it wasn't Cecil that stopped it, it would've been Fredrich. " Hey!" Cameron beamed as he poked his head into Sawyer's office. Without waiting for a response, he closed the door behind him to make sure no one was listening. " I've got some crazy stuff to tell you! You won't believe it!" he said with his eyes glimmering like anyone that knew a juicy secret.

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦The lawyer looked up from his notes, reading glasses perched on his nose. He reached up, pulling them off and setting them in a drawer, after he realized that Cameron was coming in. There was no point keeping those things on, he wasn't going to read anything for the next hour and a half. And oh great, he's here for gossip! Wonderful. " What is it, Cameron? Is Sergeant Willows going around, saying he was abducted by man-killing rabbits again?" he asked with a sigh. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Cameron West" Nope." Cameron grinned, although he did enjoy when Willows had his episodes. He leaned in and held a hand up as if he were whispering a secret. " A friend of mine saw Cecil with a prostitute." he said. " And a male one, at that...!"

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦A prostitute? The great Chief of Police? Wow, this was much less naughty than being a famous assassin, but still very illegal. " Cameron, have you told anyone else about this?" he asked, standing up and setting his hands on the desk. " You need to keep it to yourself. It doesn't matter if Chief Tealy is gay or whatever, you keep it to yourself or I'll have your badge, got it?" he threatened, preparing to take his phone out and call a certain moron up. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Cameron West" Hey, hey, you're the only one I told." Cameron said while waving his hands in a sign of no threat. He kept smiling, however, and even pulled up a chair to sit in front of Sawyer's desk. " I only told you because, well, you know." he shrugged with a knowing grin on his face. " But since it's out there, we should talk about it! You're his best friend, did you ever know about this?"

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦" ... What do I know?" he asked, face blank. What set him apart from everyone else? Oh, best friends! He didn't know they were best friends, but it made sense. They spent a lot of time together. Then again, Sawyer didn't really have many good friends because of his profession, but whatever. He ignored the spark of something green in the back of his mind. " I didn't know anything about it. I guess I always thought he was just suppressing it, like I do." ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Cameron West" You're still not dating anyone?" blinked Cameron. He scratched his head. " I would've thought you'd at least have a few dates by now. At least be with women to keep you from suppressing stuff. Or did you already find someone?" he asked, that smile returning to his face.

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦He shrugged. " It's barely even crossed my mind, to be honest. I've just been so busy with Cecil and Parker, I haven't had time to think about going on a date." Sawyer gestured down to the mounds of paperwork before him. Hearing the question and seeing that smile, the man quickly shook his head. " no, there isn't- what's with that smile? What are you thinking?" he demanded, not liking the mischief in Cameron's eyes. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Cameron West" Nothing~" Cameron answered in a sing-song voice. Before there could be anymore interrogation, the door opened to show the small chief walk in with two bags of food in his arms. Taking that as his cue, Cameron graciously got up and moved for the door. " Anyways, you look busy, so I'll leave you guys to it." He gave Sawyer a teasing wink before heading out. " I don't know what that was all about," Cecil said as he handed a bag to Sawyer. " But here. I managed to get the one you like, too. I think."

Sawyer Loupohl ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦Confused, Sawyer took the bag and watched Cameron leave before looking up at Cecil. " Hey, can we talk?" he asked, setting the bag down and not opening it. He wasn't sure if talking about the prostitute was a good thing, but he couldn't just let it go. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
