"Yeah. I bet half her house is filled with old notebooks," he agreed. "So what should I do? You probably have more experience in this department than me."

"In the general department, maybe. This is a special area I've never been to," he said.

"Well flowers certainly won't work. She thinks they're a waste of money and would rather have pens and notebooks but then I'd just increase my enemies." He shrugged. "I suppose I should be grateful that she'd maybe pick me over a finished notebook. Maybe."

"That's about all I guess you can hope for," he said.

He grinned wryly. "Fortunately I have other matters to occupy my attention." Yes, a prosecutor who wasn't in anyone's pocket certainly had a lot of work to do. "What about you, Mr. Wayne? You chasing after anyone?"

"I'd like to think I've caught her," he said.

"Please do. I'd like to keep in touch anyway with you, with the work you're doing," Bruce told him.

Jeff dug into his brief case and handed Bruce a business card. "There's my contact info. Please let me know if you need anything. I'll do what I can to help." His personal cell phone number was on the card as well. Often times people that really needed to reach him couldn't wait until office hours. "Call me anytime," he said sincerely. He was used to the 2:00a.m. emergency phone calls by now.

He slipped the card into his breast pocket, "I'll be sure to do that, thank you. And by the way, you can call me Bruce. You were calling me 'Mr. Wayne' earlier."

Jeff smiled. "Thank you, Bruce. I didn't want to offend you. I didn't want to presuppose familiarity." "You can call me Jeffrey or Jeff. My name always gets shortened at some point."
"Jeffrey's too long," Jenn agreed, still poured over her equations. She looked up for a moment at Bruce. "But how's he supposed to contact you if he needs your help?" she asked.
"Now I rate higher than a notebook?" Jeff teased.
"No. Now I can have both," she replied still scribbling in her notebook.

"I'll contact you later with my information," he told Jeff, that would take care of it. "Well, be happy. You're on par now it sounds like."

"Thank you," he said pleasantly with respects to the contact info. That was a good sing of confidence.
"Improvement!" Jeff agreed eagerly. He walked over and rested a hand on Bruce's shoulder. "Just promise that when I die you'll buy her a notebook. That should help ease the grief a little."
"It better be the world's best notebook," Jen murmured.
"Oh it could be terrible. It wouldn't be finished," Jeff pointed out.
"Yes, but it wouldn't be a work in progress yet so it had better be special."

He smiled, "Well, I'll do my best for you," he told Jeff.

"Much obliged," Jeff said pleasantly.
Jen looked up, victorious. "Okay! I think I know how much I should donate!"
