Continuing on the storyline I started with “New Blood ” and “Guardians” Read those first so you will know who is who and what has happened in the 'Verse.

Xue grinned, “My husband the lawyer....”

“When I pass the Bar, then I will be.”

“We'll make a good team. I'll arrest them and you can prosecute.”
