"I didn't do anything I swear!" Karin said as she tried to shake the bars that prisoned her.

"You have your right for a public lawyer." the cop firmly said.

"She can't even kill a fly." Said the neighborhood prostitute who didn't care to be imprison.

"Please! I need to get to work! I won't have money for rent.." She helplessly pleaded but not to long after her tears started to fall. She let go and started to wipe her tears. Bad things always happened to her. She sat down and her tears really started to flow out. She had always been a orphan. But conditions were always bad in the orphanages so she ran away 5 years go and has been living by herself ever since. But she never forgot the younger kids there so when she could she would steal the milk that would be sent to the rich homes, they had more than what they need she always thought. She never thought of the consequences if she got caught because she felt it was the right thing. But now she got the picture.

"Good things happen to good people." The prostitute said as she chewed gum. "I pretty sure you won't end up like me." Karin said nothing. "Look kiddo. You look very young, how old are you 15?

"17..."she said quietly "Almost 18..."

"See you can out of this type of place unlike a old hag as me."

"Karin." The office said loudly. "Your lawyer is here."

Kazune was a young successful man of the age of 21. Born from a rich family and had the best schooling in the world. And the youngest in his law school to graduate. That's why his friends and families couldn't believe he would be working for the government as a public lawyer for underage teens in poverty. They all felt he could do and earn much more than that. But he felt he was he duty to make up for his biggest regret. He dealt with the worst of kids but he felt better by helping them. Even after one almost killed him. Kazune rushed when he heard the call. It was late at night but this was his job. From what he knew it was a girl accused from multiple robberies of, milk. This made him laugh because who steals milk. But since he knew the poor always were charged harshly so he accepted to be her lawyer. I hope she is not hard to deal with Kazune thought as he went in the police station.

"Karin Hanazono." Karin said as her lawyer asked her name. From the moment she saw him she knew he was rich. He wore he Armani suit and had a heavy scent of Cologne.

"Kazune, Kujyou." He said to fill the uncomfortable silence. "I am your lawy-"

"Can I go home?" She blurted out. "I need to work to pay my rent..."

"Where are your parents?" He asked

"I have none."

"Legal guardian?"

"I have none."

"Do you live by your self?"

"Yes." Kazune looked at the girl. She looked young and already living by herself she probably never even read a book he thought. "Look yes I stole the milk but how can I leave the kids staving."
"

You have kids?" He said in astonishment

"No the orphans. I was in there place and how did I wish for milk." She stopped and she felt her throat starting to burn. "I just wanted to help..." Tears started to fall. "I didn't think I would end up here." Kazune looked at this girl carefully. Her red green eyes, Her messy gold locks. He felt a burning desire like he imagined Karin felt when she wanted to help the kids.

"Well I am going to try to get you the minimum punishment which might be service hours couple, but with out a guardian you are probably be put back in a orphanage..."

"Noo!" Karin said as she slammed her fist on the table. "I can't go back there. It is hell for me there!" She felt her tears form once more and she looked at the young man with pleading eyes "Please help me." She begged. Something about her that moment made her too familiar and filled him up with the wanting to help Karin.

"I will. Just trust me."

Karin did not trust anyone not after what life put her through, but she would make an exception. "Okay."

"I will get you out of here today."

"Vistor time is over." the cop said. Karin looked at Kazune with panic.

"Don't worry I will talk with the officers right now just stay claim in the cell."

Karin nodded and was escorted by the cop as Kazune watched.

Karin sat in her cell. Could she really trust a person so easily, something about him was so inviting to her. But even if she didn't she had no choice but, to trust him. I forgot his name she then thought. But you do trust him she reassured her self because that's all she can do.

He never did false promise. And even if he has to break her wall to take he out of this place he would so it.

"At least let her out of this." he demanded. "This is a minor case she doesn't really need to she in jail."

"Yes we know but she has no legal guardian beside that she has no bailout money. What if she runs out and never shows up again."

"She is not going to leave I can gura-"

"Sorry, Kujyou there is so much you can or can't do."

"No I won't let that girl sleep in this place."

"That lawyer of yours looks promising." The prostitute said re-breaking the silence again.

"He promise to get me out of here..." She said as she looked down on her fingers. "I trust him but I don't want false promises you know..." at

" Hon your too young to look cruelly on this world once your an adult do start watching out. This is my advice too you." She paused and turned to look at Karin "When I was 24 I found out my husband cheated on me and then he left me with all his debt he got from loans of the gangsters, I didn't know how to get that money and in that little amount of time... So I had to resort to this and I still haven't payed them off."

"I am sorry..." Karin said as she looked at her. She never would want to wish that at anyone, less herself.

"Are you nuts?" The cop asked.

"I promised the girl I would get her out of here today, this is the only thing I can do for help." He said as he filled the papers out. Yes he was crazy but that girl really didn't deserve to be here. "Done." He said as he finish the mountain of papers he then he handed the papers over. " I believe she can get out now."

"Karin-"

"Here!" Karin said as the cop opened the gate.

"Please follow me." The cop said and then lead her out of the prison she thought she would be in forever.

"Karin!" She heard her lawyer say as she got out.

"Thank you!" She exclaimed as she saw him she then ran and hugged him. "I don't know how to repay you!"

"There is a few things you should know though miss." The cop said ruining Karin's happy moment.

"What... is it?" She said looking at the cop and then Kazune.

"He adopted you."
