Charles walked into the apartment tired from the car journey but glad to be home. The gotham native had spent a couple of weeks out of gotham because a situation with the mob had gotten out of hand and a mob member had been killed. Charles had decided to go and visit an old friend in Canada. It had been a couple of weeks of drinking and having a good time, Charlie had been back a while and had already had another run in with the mob but the air was cleared now or he hoped so anyway. Kicking the door closed with his foot he then threw his keys onto the near by table and walked into the living room of the apartment.
"Olivia you here?" he called out as he looked for his little sister.

Olivia had been sitting in her room, looking through Harvey's file, when the door opened. She got up and stuck her head out.
"Yeah, I'm here." She picked at the frame of the door. Things had still been a bit tense with them since Charlie had gotten home. "Did um...you have a good day?"

"It was ok," he said calmly, the meeting had been boring as had work and Charlie hadn't been in a good mood the majority of the day and now he was just happy to be home.
"How was work?" he asked "get any interesting life stories out of your patients?"

Olivia moved into the living room and sat cross legged on the couch. She smiled slightly. "Just did rounds today. Nothing too interesting." She decided to leave out the whole 'I'm going to be taking on Harvey Dent's case' bit for now.
"So...how is being back in Gotham? Getting back into the swing of things again?"

"Anything interesting happen?" Charlie asked "I heard Dent is in there now." Thinking about his sister's question as he sat next to her he considered the fact he hadn't really gotten out of the swing of things and had gotten back into things quite easily.
"It's good to be home," he said

Olivia shot a slightly nervous look at her brother. So much for keeping it quiet. "Yeah, Harvey's now a patient. Mine, actually. I've taken on his case so I'll be his therapist."

"Oh," Charlie said "that's interesting i get the feeling you didn't want to tell me that little piece of information?"
He wasn't trying to be mean to his sister but he felt that she didn't want him to know something which made him want to know more

Olivia raised an eyebrow. "I assumed you'd be upset about that. After all, I'm sure you've heard through your...connections that Harvey and I were an item. And you know he held me hostage at the fundraiser."
She shrugged, looking away. "I just expected you to be upset, I guess."

"Yeah," Charlie said "you are a big girl now though Olivia, I cannot be there for you all the time no matter how hard i try, hopefully though you realise how people aren't all they appear."
Pulling on her arm trying to get her to look back at him he said.
"There is nothing to be upset about,"

Olivia reached up to touch the fading finger-shaped bruises on her throat as she turned to face her brother. "Well, that's good."
She rubbed her arm. "So, why exactly did you have to leave? You never explained that to me properly."

"A guy i was working with got killed," Charlie said rubbing the back of his neck "I just wanted to get out for a week or two just until it died down otherwise there could have become a fight out of something that wasn't my fault. Why are you touching your neck there?"

"I see." She said quietly, looking down. "What happened, exactly? How did he die?"
Olivia hesitated for a moment before asking another question. "Was it mob related, Charlie?"

"Yes it was mob related," Charlie said shaking his head "it wasn't my fault though."
Then a horrible idea crossed his mind of the bruises on her neck and the fact that she asked about the mob.
"Did they do that to you?" he asked "did they come looking for me?"

Olivia shook her head. "No, no. Nobody came looking for me. This was from..." She trailed off. If Charlie didn't know that Two-Face had been the reason for her delightful bruises and that Harvey was the reason she wasn't sleeping, not telling him would be a good idea.
"I got in a fight in a bar." She said. "Some jerk took offense to something I said and grabbed my neck. It's no big deal, the bartender pulled him off of me. Got a bunch of free drinks after."

"When do you go to bars?" he said crossing his arms over his chest and becoming the over protective big brother again, something he knew that his sister hated him doing but if it kept her safe he didn't care what he had to do, hence why he was doing business with the mob.
"Is there something you want to tell me Olivia?" he asked softly "who really did this?"
