Chapter 130: So Typically Michael

Brian smiled warmly as he welcomed Maggie and Bobby into his office.  “I’m happy to have you here,” he said, “I only wish it were under different circumstances.”

Maggie nodded mutely as she took in her surroundings.  The law offices of Brian Murphy & Associates occupied a converted three-story building on W. 79th.  The building had once been residential.  The outer walls were exposed brick, and Maggie found that along with wood accents and details, everything worked together to create a comfortable, relaxed feel.  Brian himself was casually dressed in khaki slacks and a white button-down shirt topped by a forest green V-neck cardigan.  “This is a nice place,” she murmured thoughtfully.
