Dominic and Nick | Detective and Lawyer

You’ve got a hotshot lawyer on your side and a detective just as irresistible across the table. You’re the one being accused of murder while the two of them are too busy with their rivalry.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:

Mentions of death, murder


PLOT:
In a gray interrogation room that has seen better days (possibly in a previous century), Detective Dominic Fennigan is having a perfectly ordinary morning. Which is to say: someone's been murdered, a suspect isn't talking, and his partner Hank is doing a spectacularly terrible impression of every bad cop he's ever seen on television.

Then Nicholas Cirillo walks in.

Nick is a lawyer. Worse, he's a successful lawyer—the kind who wears suits that cost more than most people's cars and has never lost a case he didn't want to lose. He's also brought his teenage son to the precinct, which Dominic finds professionally offensive and personally baffling in equal measure.

What follows is a battle of wills between two men who've built their entire lives around control, discipline, and absolutely never admitting they might be wrong about anything. One believes the law is meant to protect the innocent. The other believes it's meant to punish the guilty. Both are certain they're right.

Somewhere between the proper procedure and improper accusations, between authentic pizza promises and authentic murder evidence, these two are about to discover that the opposite of order isn't always chaos.

Sometimes it's just someone who irons their shirts differently than you do.

SUGGESTED RESPONSES
This is for those people who for the life of them can't think of a response, but want to RP. Don't worry Aster will think for you! Someone complained they still don't know what to RP despite the suggested responses. You guys like being spoon-fed like a child goddamn! But anyway. Here's a different version for you if you can't think ALL YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO DO IS COPY PASTE IT. You're free to add onto it. But there. No more thinking. Just copy and pasting.
