Aria shook her head in amusement at Kev’s comment about how the kid who had the boombox was the coolest one on the block. Maybe in Kev’s time, that had been the case. But nowadays, not so much. Or at least, not that Aria had seen.

“No offense, but I think I would take an ipod or a smartphone over a boombox any day. It’s much easier to carry around and instead of carrying batteries around, you can just carry a portable charger” she pointed out. Yeah, nothing beat today’s technology in Aria’s opinion. It was simpler and easier to use. Though phones and ipods did have a tendency to break easily if you weren’t careful.

"Oh, and by the way, dogs aren't quite as charming when they widdle on the carpet!"

“Maybe not” Aria agreed. “But that apologetic look they give you after you scold them for it is rather adorable. It’s hard to stay mad at them when they give you those adorable puppy eyes”

Chuckling, Aria shook her head at Mattie’s comment. “No, it’s not that obvious. Or at least, it wasn’t. I just found it interesting that a cop and a lawyer were hanging out unless it was for a case or something”

Aria paused for a second, looking over at Kev before looking back at Mattie. “But if you two are actually an item, then I guess it makes more sense” she said before leaning back in her seat and shrugging.

The sixteen year old was about to say more when Kevin returned with the food. “Thanks” Aria said, smiling at Kev before grabbing the donut and taking a bite out of it.

Aria nodded as Mattie explained they had an event and afterwards the two had gone on a picnic. “Sounds like it was a long day” she replied.

"I just figured it wouldn't hurt to have an insider on my side if Koda ever had to go to court for chomping on a bad guy!"

Aria looked down at Koda and then back at Mattie. “Oh I’m sure Koda wouldn’t hurt a fly” she said, though Aria also knew that being a police dog Koda was probably trained for certain things. So biting a bad guy if needed probably wasn’t entirely impossible.

“He doesn’t look so aggressive. I mean, look at him” Aria said, motioning to Koda. "Though I do suppose having a lawyer who can vouch for Koda and his behavior isn't such a bad idea"

"Oh, that's part of the plan," Mattie chuckled, ruffling her fingers through the thick hair on Koda's neck, "give you those big eyes to think that they're all innocent and sweet...but don't let them fool you!" At that, she broke off a small piece of donut to feed to the dog, then she grinned. "I know he's a working dog, he's my partner...Koda, I mean, and honestly, he keeps me grounded, keeps me from getting too mad at anything, since dogs tend to take everything personally, and I hate for him to feel bad."

It killed her when Koda hung his head and whined she yelled about something, so she just tried not to do it.

"Yeah, for a lawyer, Kev's not too bad." Mattie looked over toward where he was getting the drinks, then back to the girl. "He's good at listening, not many people have that talent." She shrugged, munching on a bit of chocolate donut. "I just unloaded on him and he took it in stride, listened...that was all I needed, someone besides Koda to tell my woes to." She laughed then. "He doesn't say anything, he just does doggy farts!"

“Yeah I guess that’s a lot easier now, but then again back in the day it was what the man bag was designed for. Lots and lots of batteries to hang around on a corner and blast your favourite tunes.” He offered, technology was easier in some ways now and he wasnt against all technology but yeah he still had that mini boom box at home he just didnt stand on the corners anymore. Strictly in the four walls of home kind of rave now.

Going back for the food was easy enough as he brought it back to the table and watched Aria take a bite out of a donut. Food was bribery and it worked for a lot of things as he listened to what Mattie and Aria were talking about. Listening was his job in life, details and listening to what people said. “Oh you should see Koda on a bad day, I mean he’s like a land shark.” Kev said smirking, he had seen Koda a lot and seen him at the event where Mattie and Koda had won ribbons. If there was one thing he knew, he wasnt getting away from Koda easily.

“But yeah I can vouch a lot for Koda, Mattie however...” He said with a sigh as he grinned, “Yeah she’s okay too you know.” He wanted Aria to know that because everyone in the world needed that one person to trust. It wasnt a thing people did easily but then again find the right people and trust was easy. It also meant that she might not be down an alley way kicking nine bells out of a trash can that couldnt fight back.

It was good that the can couldnt fight back because he didnt want her to get hurt but then noise, alleys, battering a can it could all turn out so wrong. Even walking around the city at times could be a swing of bad luck depending on what was going on that day. Still sat in the cafe eating and drinking good coffee and food, there wasnt much better than that. It beat his office and beat trying to keep up with Mattie and Koda if they needed to chase anyone.

"Yeah, for a lawyer, Kev's not too bad."

Aria smiled a little at that. Mattie did have a point, Kev wasn’t so bad. He bought them drinks and food, and joked around. So in Aria’s book, he wasn’t that bad. “I guess you’re right. He’s not so bad” she agreed.

“At least, not for an old person” Aria added as a joke. What could she say? The sixteen year old was enjoying poking fun at Kev. Especially because he just joked right back.

“Listening is one of the hardest things to learn” Aria agreed. It was a good thing to have, but it was hard to learn. Aria herself struggled at times to listen to others, especially when it came to people trying to tell her what to do or what was best for her. Aria was accustomed to being alone, and she felt that she knew what was best for her because of that.

“Oh you should see Koda on a bad day, I mean he’s like a land shark.”

Aria looked down at Koda, trying to decide if Kev was right or not about him. As she continued to inspect him, Aria just couldn’t see it. “I don’t know Kev, you might be wrong about that. Look at him. With a face like that, how could he be any type of shark, even on a bad day?”

Still, there was only one person that knew Koda best. And that was his owner. Looking at Mattie, Aria offered a smile. “You know him best, though Mattie. Is what Kev says true? Is Koda a land shark when he’s having a bad day?”

“Mattie invited me to a cafe instead of arresting me, so I can’t argue with you about that” Aria responded. The sixteen year old would take going to a cafe over a police station any day. Aria had already gotten in trouble with the law once. She definitely didn’t need a repeat of that situation.

"Nah, Koda's a good mutt." Mattie reached down to scratch the dog's ears, making his tail wag under the table. Grinning, she took a bite of her treat then added, "He does get frustrated now and then with Mom and me, and he'll start chewing on paper...well, and the remote, once....he had control of the TV that week!"

She laughed then shrugged. "I'm usually getting fed up with Mom about the same time he is, though, so we just go for a walk and work it out."

There were times when her mother made her stark-raving-crazy, and while she knew it was mostly the dementia, that didn't make it any easier, especially considering that her mom had been a bitch before she'd had an excuse. But having Koda to talk to helped to keep her sane.

"As for arresting you..." she gave the girl a smirk, "I'm just letting him butter you up so you let your guard down and don't resist!"

She laughed and shook her head. "No, really, like I said, there are times I want to beat the heck out of things, too, but I have Koda. See, you need a dog!"

Besides, pets solved all the evils in the world!

“An old person... wow, well those under the age of twenty are lucky to be young. Give it another what five six years and I get to call you old too.” Kev joked grinning at the kid, she had a pretty good sense of humour which was half of the battle of life he found. It wasnt that people didnt have to have one, he found it just helped a lot of they did. Kev laughed hearing Aria question if Koda could be a shark.

“Oh trust me, I’ve seen him case after people... the dog is fast and scary. If I was a criminal I’d not run away but then again, I’d probably try to be Usain Bolt to get away.” Kev joked, “A total shark and a food shark too.” He added grinning as he laughed nodding, it was good that Mattie hadn’t arrested Aria. Sure knocking the hell out of a bin wasnt great but then there were reasons for everything and in his mind. As soon as a kid was arrested and in the system, it was slippery slope from there on in.

“So just out of curiosity, why are you trying to kill the bin?” Kev asked her as he glanced at Mattie, “I’m not a cop so whatever you say can’t be used against you, the law is on your side with hearsay.” Kev added deciding it didnt hurt to drop that one in, Mattie was the cop and not him so figuring out what was wrong couldn’t hurt too much could it? “I totally get the urge to do that on a bad day but just wondered what was going on.” Kev had a working list but then as a lawyer there were ninety nine reasons for one thing and only one that people needed to get them off a charge.

Still Aria not being arrested was a great start, the less she got into any system the better and the more they knew as to why, they could at least try to help out where they could. After all Kev hadn’t been that successful with helping people, more punishing them once they got to his end of the court.

“An old person... wow, well those under the age of twenty are lucky to be young. Give it another what five six years and I get to call you old too.”

Aria shrugged, acting completely unphased by the idea. “That’s fine, because it just means I’ll get to call you ancient” she retorted, leaning back in her seat.

"Nah, Koda's a good mutt."

She smiled at that, looking down at Koda. “You hear that boy? Your mom said you’re a good dog” Aria stated. Though from the sounds of it, Koda appeared to have his moments.

"I'm usually getting fed up with Mom about the same time he is, though, so we just go for a walk and work it out."

“Well on the bright side, it gives you an excuse to get out of the house for a bit” Aria pointed out. “You get to tell your mom that Koda needs a walk without questions being asked”

“So how did you end up meeting Koda? Was he assigned to you or did you get to choose him yourself?” Aria asked.

Aria let out a laugh when Mattie said she was just using Koda to butter her up so that she wouldn’t resist arrest. “If that’s the case, then it’s working” she joked.

"No, really, like I said, there are times I want to beat the heck out of things, too, but I have Koda. See, you need a dog!"

“I wish I could have a dog” Aria said, shaking her head in amusement. She loved animals, and got along with them most of the time. However, dogs were a lot of work and given the situation Aria was in, there was no way she could have a dog.

“So just out of curiosity, why are you trying to kill the bin?”

Aria didn’t answer right away, instead choosing to lower her gaze and bite her lip as she thought about what to say. The sixteen year old had already been in trouble with the law once already. Aria didn’t need that to happen again. While Kev said he couldn't do anything, that didn't mean Mattie couldn't. However, Mattie hadn't given any indication that she was going to bring Aria in.

“I had a disagreement with a friend of mine. We had differing views on something, and we fought” Aria explained, trying to keep it as vague as possible. It was still true though Aria was just leaving out some of the details.

“I figured it was better to attack the bins then attack them. It would keep me out of an assault charge or whatever” Aria continued, though an assault charge would be the least of her concerns if she had decided to punch Jax. The sixteen year old had no doubt her friend could fight back and win.

“It sounds stupid, I know. But they were being an idiot, and not thinking and someone had to get it through their thick head that what they did was stupid and not okay” Aria said.

"A lot of people are idiots," Mattie agreed with a grin, "which is good for me or I'd be out of a job! I guess that goes for firefighters and paramedics, too." She shrugged. "But it takes wisdom and restraint to hold off reacting in kind. And you're right, you need to let out that frustration somehow, and honestly, beating trash cans is a pretty benign way to do that. Best part is, there's really not a law against that, besides maybe vandalism, and you'd have a good argument that the trash can was already dented before you got to it."

Maybe a citation, but no one was going to waste time or energy on some battered trash cans.

"Dogs are assigned, sort of." Smiling, Mattie reached to scratch Koda's ears. "There are several dogs and handlers together, so there are options. Honestly, Koda did most of the work, he came right over and sat next to me and that was that!" She laughed. "Our biggest problem was a language barrier...he 'speaks' Norwegian...he was born there and started his training, so I had to learn the commands...and sometimes I swear he's rolling his eyes at my pronunciation!"
