The boys were staying at the Marriot London and Lex and Allie were bunking with Chia. Howie wanted to show Allie his room, but she wanted to jump in the shower after a 17 hour flight, so she promised him she would meet him back at the hotel in an hour.
Howie smiled and kissed her and buried his nose in her hair "I can't believe you are finally here," he whispered
Allie smiled and traced Howie's lips. " I am so happy to be here with you...know get out of the car so I can get back here on time." Allie grinned and shut the door.
Nick, AJ and Howie walked into the hotel and into the elevators. "Man Allie looks so sophisticated now, she isn't the same lonely and shy redhead I left back in Orlando 4 months ago." Howie said.
"Chia says Allie has really grown up and is loving her job, I think she found something that she could absorbe herself in." AJ said.
"Well I hope she will absorbe herself in me this trip." Howie grinned and got off the elevator.

"Chia this place is beautiful, my god you can see Big Ben from your bedroom window" Lex admired her cousin's loft.
"Alicia I am really proud of you, this place is stunning, and I heard from Mr Kellman that you are creating miracles over here..mom and dad must be beaming." Allie hugged her sister tightly.
"What about you, little Miss I am the lead Prosecutor on the murder case of the century" Lex teased.
Allie grinned and went to jump in the shower.

As Allie got ready to meet Howie, the other 2 girls sat on her bed and gossiped.
"Wow, I can't believe you are wearing makeup, and look at your new wardrobe, Armani, Versace, excuse us.." Chia teased her sister.
"It's called moving up in the world, silly" Allie winked at her sister slyly.
"So how is the case going?" Lex asked
"Well it was remanded while we wait for the defendant's mental capabilties test, but I think it is going really well and I know that the parents of the murder victim are pleased with the trial outcome so far...But I got this really weird phone call yesterday" Allie stopped and looked at the 2 girls..
"What kind of call?" Chia asked.
"Promise me you won't tell Howie, I know he will get all worried and hire a bodyguard to follow me and I don't want that."
"WE PROMISE"
"Well someone called and told me to drop the case or I would end up like the dead mistress."
"Oh my god, did you call the police?" Chia asked
"No, I just shrugged it off, I have received lots of hate mail and stuff since I took this case on, it's just this one was really weird..." Allie shrugged off the feeling of dread and applied her lipstick.
"Allie I really don't like this, I think you should call the police." Lexi said.
"Ah, it will all blow over, after all I am on vacation and I am hear to
forget about my worries." Allie smiled and thought of the plan she had
cooked up to brighten Nick's mood.
