Skeptically - "Who is asking?"

"Who’s asking?" you respond, sizing her up while maintaining tactical awareness. Sure, she might be the hottest thing you've ever seen, and she’s clearly not carrying, but something about this feels off.

"My name is Cinanna Von Lilit," she replies directly, "and I’m looking for Garret Stone."

"Cinanna Von Lilit?" You try not to chuckle. "What are you, some sort of James Bond villain, or is that your stage name at a strip club?"

The voluptuous, white-haired woman in the biker jacket smiles at your bluntness, seemingly amused by the banter. "A bit of both. I’m a junior associate at the law firm of Berkley, Dee, and Hanson," she says without any irony or pretension. "Though on some weekends, I do dance at The Topheavy Club. There, I’m called 'Sinlit Juggs,' but my friends just call me 'Cin.'"

"Cin?" You laugh.

"Yes." She answers, "That’s my name."

"Oh, it fits." You remind yourself to stay aware, no matter how amusing this might be. "I'm definitely getting the stripper vibe. And make no mistake, I’d like to see you take off your clothes. But no stripper, especially from The Topheavy Club—one of the premier strip clubs in the country, with only girls with fucking amazing bodies like yours—would show up without a security escort. Besides, I don’t know anyone with that kind of money to afford the likes of you, let alone who’d want to spend it on me. So, Juggs, why don’t you stop wasting both our time and tell me why you’re really here."

Though your voice drips with sarcasm and control, it doesn’t dissuade the woman who calls herself Ms. Von Lilit, nor does the nickname "Juggs" seem to faze her.

She grins and, with a calm, husky voice, says, "Take out your cell phone, Devil Dog, Google Berkley, Dee, and Hanson, and see if I’m there."

You do as she says, then mutter, "What the fuck," as you find a picture on the Berkley, Dee, and Hanson webpage under "Attorney Profiles" of a white-haired woman with a centerfold figure that even a handmade Italian business suit can’t hide. The name is "Cinanna Von Lilit." B.A. in Medieval History, cum laude, from Yale, and J.D. from Harvard. Areas of practice: Criminal Defense, with all the required professional Bar Association memberships. She’s 26 years old.

As you start to double-check the law firm itself, which seems to be legit and well-established, the curvy Ms. Lilit asks, "Well, Dog," she shortens your nickname, "I have something for Garret Stone, so why don’t you tell me who you are, say my name, and invite me in."
