"On Meeting An Inquiry Agent" -- Part # 1/?

[lady-noremon.livejournal.com]

I have had this scene in my head for years, but either never got around to working it out, or didn't feel 'allowed' to post it. This year I'm trying to do things for fandom_stocking (my stocking is {HERE}, by the way.) though, and wanted to get into capacity for writing other things so I decided to start work on this first. I am working on the next part now (about 300 words in at 10:05PM 12-20-2013) but thought that I should split it up after the last sentence sounded like an end.

This is how Lorel & Alfred met. I have ideas for, and used to think of writing out little adventures they had as partners, but I doubt I ever will. But this part here is about their first meeting. For those that don't know; Alfred is Lorel's spouse that was murdered, and also was her teacher & partner at the inquiry agent office they set-up (L & A). His murder was the reason she started her quest for vengeance, and why she took on the persona of L.S. Cassius & went to The 'Neath/London.
