Welcome to Gaia! ::

Two weeks ago, a young woman was raped. A week later, she publicly accused her assaulter, who was promptly arrested. The woman in question hired the best lawyer she could to represent her side, a lawyer by the name of Andreas Kane. Because of her situation, Kane reduced his fee considerably. However, there have been some negative rumors going around about Kane's client & her past. As her lawyer, Kane feels it's his responsibility to protect her from any slander that comes at her. But, there is more to this trial than meets the eye....

Appearance: Andreas Kane
Occupation: Lawyer
Bio: Kane is a relatively experience lawyer, having finished law school 6 years before. Kane has a tendency to be protective of 'damsels in distress', though Kane makes sure to avoid getting into a relationship with his female clients, as it would be both unprofessional & unethical to get in a relationship with them. However, Kane is a caring person at heart, & is always willing to hear a person out.

Name: Lynett Sparks
Age: 26
Gender: female
Appearance: Lynett
Occupation: Elementary School teacher
Bio: Lynett has been a kindergarten teacher a little over two years now, right from graduating from college. She loves her job and her students and lives in an apartment in the city near the school. After she was raped, she hired Andreas Kane, having heard of his reputation before. Many people wonder how a school teacher, even at the reduced fee, could afford Kane, and have begun to speculate at her past, which oddly, she has revealed little of, beyond her college years.
Other: Lynett is indeed hiding some things about this case, but it is not what most people think.

Lynett stepped into the elevator, glancing at all the lawyers in their business suits, then presses the button for the floor Kane's office was on, her gaze lowering to the floor quietly as the doors shut. As the elevator rises, she shifts from foot to foot nervously. Being around anybody these days made her nervous. The doctors said it was normal, but that didn't make her feel any better. Lynett shuts her eyes for a few moments to try and calm down, but quickly reopens them. It never helped to shut her eyes. It made it worst. Lynett shakes her head, trying not to think about it, then jumps a bit as the elevator doors ding, then open. Blushing, she then steps out of the elevator, and heads down the hall for Kane's office.

Lynett reached the door as he said these things and paused, blushing again. For some reason, she felt bad now for getting him involved in this, and spreading her unhappiness to others.
After a moment, however, she reaches up and knocks on the door frame. "Ah.. Mr.Kane... I'm here for my appointment." She tells him, fidgeting and glances down again.

Lynett glances up once more, then nods. Walking forward, Lynett then takes a seat in the chair on the opposite side of the desk, fidgeting again. "So um... how does this whole process go?" She asks him.

Lynett nods silently, thinking about that. Half of her almost hoped the trial would never come. She knew she'd have to recount everything then, and reveal the whole truth if the right questions were asked. But... the other half wished it could happen right now, just to get it over with. Lynett sighs softly, not sure which she wanted more. "And... what do I have to do in that time?" She asks.

Lynett frowns, eyes flickering with a multitude of emotions. "Now?" She asks, voice wavering slightly. She knew she would have to retell it all eventually, but that didn't make it any easier to bear.

Lynett hesitates, then sighs and nods, knowing he had a point there. "I... suppose you're right." She replies, then pauses, fidgeting for a few moments as she thinks back. Lynett shuts her eyes, then opens them again after a moment. "It happened in the school I work at. I was staying late... to get my lesson plans ready for the next day... when one of the fathers of a student stopped by. He said he wanted to talk with me about his son, and for a few moments we did, but then..." Lynett shuts her eyes and shakes her head again as images flash through her mind of what had happened.
