It was two weeks; two weeks since twenty one year old Levy McGarden graduated top of her class at Magnolia  Law School. Now an official lawyer, Levy made the decision to get a job at the best lawfirm in town; Fairy Tail Attorneys at Law. Not even a day after her interview, Makarov, the boss, called her telling her she was hired and her first case was tomorrow.

“I wish to give you a test at how good you truly are Ms.McGarden.” he said over the phone “Tomorrow you will be heading to Magnolia’s Maximum Security Prison to meet your client.” Levy raised her eyebrow when she heard this.
“Who is she?” she asked.
“He.” Makarov corrected “You’re client is a man. His name is Gajeel Redfox. He’s twenty-three years old and is being held there temporarily.”
“What did he do that got him there in the first place?”
“He’s being charged with murder in the first degree and armed robbery.” Makarov explained “He’s a part of the gang Phantom Lord and not too long ago, the gang was performing a heist at their biggest rival, The Oracieon Seis’ hideout and it went south from there. It was the wrong building and he’s being accused of murdering Belno ,the elderly owner of the house his gang robbed.”
“That’s terrible!”

“But he claims he didn’t do such a thing.” Makarov continued  “The evidence that was at the scene shows it was him; but he keeps claiming he had an alibi that night.”
“Which is?” Levy asked.
“That’s the problem, he refuses to tell us what he was doing during that time. His last lawyer got fed up with him and quit. Levy, he’s our toughest client we’ve ever had. He has a rough personality and won’t let anyone in.”
“So why me?” Levy asked “Why are you assigning me to him? Isn’t there another lawyer at The Firm who can take his case?”

“All of our best have much tougher cases at the moment.” Makarov explained “They’ve been swamped with work and some don’t want this case at all. Levy, I may have just met you but I have faith you can do this. It’s dirty work as a lawyer, you may need to get your hands dirty just to get the correct information on your client. Levy, you’re this man’s last hope. If he is found guilty when in truth he’s innocent, he could be put behind bars for the rest of his life for things he may have never done. You have to prove his innocence Levy! Be at The Firm tomorrow to get his files.” With that said, he hung up.
