Even the coffee was good.There had been two scrambled eggs done perfectly.Bacon and sausage links.The hashbrowns were just the way she liked them, with just enough crisps on them to make them crunch in her mouth.The toast was still warm, and the butter to put on it was just as soft as the toast was crunchy.Eating every bit of her meal, she almost couldn’t wait until lunch.It wouldn’t be as good, she told herself, but she would have to wait.As soon as they came for her tray, they told her that she had a visitor.It was her attorney.The first thing she told him was that she wanted out of here.
“Since you hit someone in a public setting, you’ll have to wait your turn with the judge.I can’t believe I have to tell you this after all this time.You should never do anything where there might be witnesses.”She liked this man; he spoke to her like she liked.Telling her things that would keep her out of jail wasn’t very helpful now, but she knew he’d get her out of here.“As it stands right now, the young woman you hit had to have three stitches.That doesn’t sound like much, but when you factor in that you were going to hit her again—with witnesses, I might add—then that’s going to get you some jail time.What were you thinking?”
“I was thinking that I’d heard enough of her mouth running.”He just tsked at her.“What are you finding out about me getting my grandson from his mother?Have you found out anything that I can use against her in the court of law?I want to do this legally, but I’m not opposed to doing things the hard way if necessary.”
“She’s married.As of this morning, she and one of the Savage men are married.He’s also making it so that he’s going to adopt the little boy.You’re going to be shit out of luck going up against them.They have all the money.”She asked if that was true that they were dragons.“I’ve heard that too.But I don’t think it makes any difference to the judge.He’s a shifter too.”
“Is there anyone around that cares that she’s raising my grandson to be a pussy?I want him in my home by the end of the month.If you can’t do it, then find me someone who will do as I want.”He said that they were being recorded.“I don’t care.I want her dead if I can’t have what I want.And dead would be better than not.She won’t be coming back to haunt me then.”
They talked about her options, which weren’t all that many.As he was getting ready to leave, he told her that he’d make sure to keep someone on her at all times.Then he told her that it was going to be difficult for her to get the boy if he adopted him.He’d be just one more person in line to get him if anything happened to his mother.
“What’s this world coming to if a woman can’t raise her grandson when the mother is such a slut.”She didn’t have any idea if she was or not, but it sounded good.As soon as she was taken back to her cell, she remembered that she should have asked him to get her a phone.It was the least he coulddo for her since she was paying him so much an hour to get her out of situations like this one.
