"A you,MrRothe?" Not Hardly His public defender&039;s voice was a kind of lullaby in Isaac&039;s ears, her aristocratic inflection and perfect grainally, he&039;d closed his eyes because she was simply too beautiful to look at, but there had been an added benefit to the lights out Without the distraction of her perfect face and her smart stare, he was able to fully concentrate on her words

The way she spoke was poetic Even to a guy asn&039;t into the hearts and flowers routine

"Mr Rothe"

Not a question, a de fed up with his ass

Cracking his lids, he felt the impact of her nail him in the sternu impression because it had been years since he&039;d been around a true lady After all, most of the feh around the edges, just like him So this precisely coiffed, clearly educated, perfu anomaly

God, she&039;d probably faint if she saw his tattoo

And run screa for the last five years

"Let et you bail," she repeated "And then we&039;ll see where we are"

He had to wonder why she cared so much about some scrub she&039;d never met before, but there was an undeniable mission in her eyes, anddown here with the riffraff was exorcising souilt Maybe it was a religious thing Whatever it was, she was damned determined

"Mr Rothe Let me help you"

He so didn&039;t want her involved in his casebut if she could set him free, he could take off and he was undoubtedly safer out in the world: His old boss would have no trouble sending athe assassination right under the noses of the guards

To Matthias, that would be child&039;s play

Isaac felt his conscience, which had been long silent, send up a holler, but the logic was sound: She looked like the kind of laho could get things done in the system, and as much as he hated to involve her in the mess he was in, he wanted to stay alive

"I&039;d be grateful if you could do that, ma&039;a a break in the ht then Now, it says here you live over on Tre have you been there?"

"Just over teeks"

He could tell by the way her broent together that that wasn&039;t going to help him much "You&039;re uneht "Yes, ma&039;am"

"Do you have any family? Here or elsewhere in the state?"
