Matt had no clue how to approach this. Should he do it as Matt or as Daredevil?
Should he go to his work? No, that was a bad idea. Anywhere in public was a bad idea. Someone might overhear. Matt could knock on his door after work and explain it. That seemed like a good and reasonably option.
Karen had other plans.
“Come on Murdock,” Karen smiled.
This couldn’t be good.
It was noon. They had had a fairly busy morning. A few clients. They had agreed to take two cases already. Karen was learning very quickly.
Matt was starting to get hungry and had an idea of what Karen wanted to do. But he acted like he didn’t.
Matt let Karen lead him outside and down the familiar streets toward the bakery. While Matt may have not wanted to go confront Foggy just yet, didn’t mean he didn’t want to go near him yet.
It isn’t a smart move but hey, Matt can be afford to be a bit stupid every once in a while. Right?
They entered the bakery, the bell dangling from the door frame alerting everyone of their presence.
There were about 7 people inside, including him and Karen. Foggy wasn’t there. But he was next door. They ordered some lunch and paid, then they sat in their usual spot.
He and Karen talked and talked for about half an hour. Then Foggy entered. He entered the bakery with a cop. Officer Brett Mahoney. One of the few non corrupt cops in the NYPD. Matt had helped him out on several occasions with the mask and without. He was the reason Matt met Karen. Matt believed that him and Officer Mahoney were even now.
When they entered, Foggy and Officer Mahoney seemed to be almost arguing. But it wasn’t heated. It was light, and friendly. Like him and Karen. Their conversation dying out when they entered the quiet and calm atmosphere of the bakery.
Karen almost lit up when she saw Foggy. She was almost about to get up and talk, but Officer Mahoney beat her to it.
Oh wonderful.
“Well if it isn’t Murdock and Page,” Mahoney smiled.
“Ah, hello Sergeant,” Karen replied. “How is your day?.”
“Going wonderfully so far, Ms. Page.”
“Please, call me Karen.”
“Very well,” Mahoney realized he hadn’t introduced Foggy.
“Karen, Mr. Murdock, this is my friend Franklin Nelson. Foggy, this is Karen Page, and Matt Murdock.”
Foggy held his hand out to Karen who shook it. Then he held his hand out to Matt, then he realized his mistake, he brought his hand down.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Mr. Nelson,” Karen said. Matt nodded and smiled.
Matt wanted to speak but feared revealing his identity. It was stupid, yes. But Foggy was smart. All it would take is one slip up and suspicion would arise.
“How do you guys know each other?” Foggy asked.
Mahoney answered for Matt and Karen. “They’re lawyers and I give them some cases and they help me out whenever they can.”
“Ah okay.”
Matt cleared his throat. “Karen, I think it’s time we head back to the office.”
“Oh of coarse, the time just flew by.”
Matt knew he was coming off as cold and aloof but he had to get away before he made a mistake.
“It was nice seeing you Sergeant, and nice meeting you Mr. Nelson.” Karen said their leave.
Matt was out. Karen came out a few seconds after him.
“You know you could look less like an asshole in front of him,” Karen supplied.
“It’s all a part of my charm,” Matt said sarcastically.
