Kade listened politely to all the lawyer had to say, though he eyed the cards of the others with little interest.  They would never do, even if he only needed to get his employee out of his current situation.  No, it had to be the best, and that was Dorian.  Even in the face of the fees presented, the vampire was unmoved from his calm and still position, polite smile always in place.  If anything, the notion that he might not be able to afford representation for Jacob amused him.  With the mountain of wealth he had accumulated over the centuries, he could’ve hired an entire squad of lawyers like Dorian without fretting over the fees.  However, the human seemed determined to undermine himself without even allowing Kade to explain how money wasn’t an issue.<br/><br/>In fact, he had requested Jacob to wait for him to find the right representation for him, to not accept anything, and to keep quiet and patient while he handled things.  If that had somehow tilted things in his favour, then Kade was glad.<br/><br/>“I’ll send word for Jacob to be expecting you, then,” he agreed, rising to his feet and following Dorian.  “I can’t imagine how relieved he’ll be to see you.”  Kade reached into his vest pocket and pulled out a card with his contact information on it and presented it to the human.  “You can meet me downtown at my other club this evening, if you’d like to discuss the details of either the case or the payment.  I’m confident you will take his case.  I can tell you with complete certainty… that boy is innocent.”<br/><br/>He ducked his head in a formal gesture, slipping his hat back on his head a moment later and heading out into the day.  The sun wasn’t due to be hidden past the early afternoon, so it was in his best interest to head back underground until evening.  In the meantime, he sent word to Jacob that everything was taken care of, and that any information should be shared with him immediately.  That would keep him in close proximity to Dorian through the trial, which was bound to happen.  They could stretch on for weeks, months…  Plenty of time for him to have fun with his little toy.<br/><br/>The ride home was interesting.  On the radio they were still talking about the massacre at the local hotel, which he knew right away was the hunter whom he dispatched to hell.  They were calling it a revenge murder, which was accurate enough.  Anyone who had known the victims he’d been acquitted of murdering were suspect.  That was a shame…  But nothing could be linked to any of them.  Hopefully it shed light on what a mistake the justice system had made.  Hopefully it sullied Dorian’s precious reputation.  Kade had to wonder if it would make the human’s skin crawl, or if it would make him second guess what he’d done.<br/><br/>Probably not.<br/><br/>He returned to his precious club, sank into the luxury of his hidden chambers nestled deep underground, and rested.  He’d already told the staff to alert him the moment Dorian showed up.  The man was to be treated warmly, given a private section in the VIP area in the back.  If he decided not to show…  Well, Kade would decide what to do if night fell and he hadn’t heard anything.
