Micheal took his normal route home after his day of work away from the academy, his suitcase with his files held tightly in one hand, his long black coat fluttering slightly in the wind behind him. He had gone down this road countless times, so he could navigate it even with his eyes half closed. He adjusted his glasses and fixed his tie as he continued down the street. 'What are we coming to...' He thought to himself as he heard the familiar police sirens shriek through the night air as well as sounds of screaming people. The town tried to put on a good face but the truth was that some areas of downtown just weren't safe at night. "We can't go on like this much longer..." He whispered under his breath. "Everywhere I look I see..." He took a soft glance around him before looking straight ahead and opening his eyes fully. 'EVIL!' He thought, clutching his briefcase tightly, a look of contempt for everything around him filling his eyes. "God, where are you? This world can't last much longer without you... we need you..." He whispered to himself again.

Zoé ran down the street in a state of panic. "LATE! LATE LATE LATE!" She had her bag over her shoulder that held her sports gear. "Dad's going to kill--" She ran into someone's back suddenly, squeaking out the word 'me' as she fell back.

Micheal turned around suddenly, snapped out of his religious ranting as the girl fell down behind him. He stared at her calmly for a moment and adjusted his glasses again. "Are you alright miss...?" He extended a hand to her cooly as he watched her, thoughts still on thier previous track.

"Fine. Thanks" She took his hand and pulled herself up. "Sorry about that. I guess I wasn't thinking..." Zoé laughed softly.

He gave a soft smirk as he helped her up. "Well you must be careful, what exactly are you doing out here right now anyway? This part of town is not very good for young people at this time of night..."

"Well, I was helping my friend get all his things to the Old Lot where his Mom was going to pick him up. Well, it took us a while to get everything there. Then I helped him load it all in the car. Then I was called by one of my friends to even out a game--I can't turn down a challenge, you see, so I said ok. Well, we lost track of time and I was taking the shortest way home." She took a deep breath. "What about you?"

'Ah, I see..." He listened calmly to her quick rambling and nodded slightly. "Hope you don't get into any trouble by staying out so late..." He stared at her. "I was just on my way home from work, it saddens me that people have to take this way through town, it is quite dangerous at night."

"My Dad is going to be pissed, to say the lease." Zoé waved it off. "I'm Zoé." She said, offering her hand to shake.

"Micheal." He took her hand and shook it firmly with a small smirk. "Well then, I suppose the least I can do is make sure you get home safely, student security is my job after all." He gave a short scoff.

"You work for the Academy?" Zoé asked with a raised brow.

Micheal nodded. "Part time, the rest of the time I work as an attorney, I suppose you could say that justice is my forte."

Zoé laughed a bit. "It makes sense... What's in the bag?" She motioned to his bag.

"Different files." He blinked at her random question. "Law discriptions, criminal and student files, court documentations, things like that." He shrugged.

"You carry that stuff with you? Someone could just randomly run up, knock you out, and run off with that stuff..." Zoé muttered using motions as she talked.

"They could, but I doubt anyone would want to spy on a bunch of kids and criminals so badly, plus I can defend myself pretty well." He shook the suitcase slightly. "If I have a really important case in here, I handcuff it to my wrist."

"That doesn't look suspicious at all." Zoé laughed. "You could have people who want leverage over you take advantage of the fact you carry your work with you everywhere."

"True, but it's not a matter of stealth, the fact is they wouldn't be able to get the case without cutting off my arm. And I doubt anyone would want that, I don't have many enemies. I don't really have anything terribly classified in here, all the extremely important stuff is in my safe where I work."

"Someone only has to knock you out, take you into an ally, heat a link on the cuffs and pull it apart." she spoke as if it was common knowledge, "But hey, it's your job. Sorry."

He shrugged. "You have an odd little mind, as if you've already planned it out, do you want the case for some reason? Besides, I said I could defend myself well, and I suppose it's not the end of the world if any of those unimportant files get stolen."

"I just get bored." Zoé said with a shrug. "What do you do in your free time?"
