Abuse of Power

bane stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He looked a little nervous, jittery. He took jiggled something in his pant pocket, pursing his lips before he took off his coat. He looked for Madison, finally catching up with the woman. "If you're not busy, I'd like a word."

He frowned to himself, finally, spitting it out. "You want to get me to open up..."

Callista sat on the sofa painting her nails. She turned the channel by waving her hand. Another wedding show. She loved those, she always had. Next, she turned it to the news.

Portia sat at Marx's desk, looking over her own charts, She crossed her legs to the side, chewing on a chocolate bar. When he walked in, her eyes flickered. "I'm going to need a consult for one of my patients. Close the door."

There was a ring at the door. It took a moment before the house elf scurried to Madison's room. "Mistress... there is someone looking to see Master Bane..." She looked worried and scurried off.

The man was tall with dark hair that was combed back just so with a hint of gel that shined against the few grey streaks.. His eyes were a bright blue frames with dark thick lashes. He looked just like his son, but older. A little older than Madison, with circles under his eyes, wrinkles on his forehead. He had a deep dimple in his chin, stronger than his son’s, but it was evidently there. The man wore black with a silver tie and a blue shirt beneath.

“Would this be the residence of a Bane Vaisey?” His eyes swept over the woman’s form. It was a penetrating stare that looked as if he could be trying to read her soul… or simply trying to undress her with his eyes. It was difficult to determine.

The man before her smelled of cigars, cedar wood, and expensive cologne. He plucked off his leather gloves, waiting expectantly. “I am here to see my son.”

Stephen was in the kitchen, preparing a final dish. He plated this last dish, then walked out of the kitchen to greet a few patrons. He shook hands with an older couple who came by once every two weeks or so. He continued on, smiling when he saw the familiar young man at a table.

"Addison," he greeted him.

Stephen Cornfoot felt the need to head out to his local bookstore. Ainsley was in school for the day. And he had some time before he had to disappear and head to his dinner shift. The former Ravenclaw looked around on the shelves for something interesting to read for himself, when he spotted a handsome young man. Very handsome. He looked back to the book in his hands, then shifted his eyes back up toward the man in the row beside him. Hmm…

Lisa had to put some extra time in the office after closing a big case she had. She finished filling out paperwork. It was about ten at night ad she must have been one of the last people there.

She sighed, playing with her ponytail. This was a long day.

Kaden opened the door, letting the others in. He had ordered pizza and Italian. There were subs, chips, fries, and even burgers. He went all out.

He set the beers in an open cooler and turned on the television.

"Watch those. It's got some hot peppers."

Bane walked in, nodding to Kaden. "Nice having this."

Riley sat on the couch with a sub. "Nice place you've got, here."

Kaden grinned. He liked his place.
