"I thought he meant this afternoon, she growled to no one in particular.  Oh. This is
Chris Lange. Can I speak to Mr. Anderson, please?"
Mr. Anderson didn't sound too terribly understanding, and he told her to make her
business quick. He had a ton of work piled up, and he had assumed she would be reliable. She
told him she was terribly sorry and that she would be there the moment her business was
concluded. She hung up with a groan.
"He isn't at all understanding. She frowned at Jose, who merely shrugged, and kept his
eyes on the road.  If I lose this job, I'm going to strangle your precious  Señor'!"

"I can easily have Damien picked up based on this type of evidence. Judge James Wilhoit
frowned at Tonio as he glanced over the papers before him.  He's the kind who gives CPA's a bad
name."
"You can have him after I have finished with him, if you don't mind. Tonio smiled
grimly.  I have given him enough rope. Let's see what he'll do with it."
"Very well, but please don't give the bastard grounds for a counter suit. I want to see him
out of practice in California."
"I expect to have him return as much of the money as he can that he has skimmed from
my affairs over the last three years. The building in Torrance, alone, has been bringing in close to
$500,000.00 a year in rents. He shows it in these books as around $250,000.00 last year.
"According to him, the place is never fully rented, and the upkeep is high. According to
the woman who has been handling the rentals there, there hasn't been an empty unit there in the
entire time she's managed it. He owes me a great deal of money, and I want it back. If he goes to
jail right away, I will lose every penny. I would like to play him on the hook for a while."
Wilhoit nodded.  Very well. But whatever you do, don't lose this evidence."
Tonio smiled and glanced at his watch.  My fiancée should be here in a few minutes. I do
appreciate your taking time out of your busy schedule to do this favor for me."
Wilhoit slapped him on the shoulder and laughed.  Your father and I were friends a very
long time, Tonio. I consider this to be an honor."
"If you'll excuse me for a few moments, I have some legal papers to attend to. We
shouldn't be long. Tonio smiled at the man, and nodded at Blake. The attorney followed him
from the room and into a conference room a few paces down the hall, where a rather angry
young woman sat waiting, glancing at her watch surreptitiously.
She glared at them as they stepped into the room and rose to face them. The look in her
eyes told him he was going to hear about his high handedness. Tonio drew a deep breath and
decided that he liked her when she was angry. She had a fire about her when she had a head of
steam that made his blood move a little faster. And his groin tighten. And his thoughts go wild.
He headed off the explosion by introducing his attorney, Roland Blake, and asking her to
sit at the table to sign the papers. She acknowledged the man coolly, and obeyed rather sulkily,
frowning as he handed her a pen.
"Is everything the same as it was last night? she asked pointedly, reading the first page
quickly before moving on to the second.
"Exactly, except for the red ink Blake replied.  You do understand what you are signing,
Miss Lange? It's my duty to verbally advise you of the contents of these legal documents, and see
for myself that you understand and accept each portion."
She listened to him quietly, and when he had finished, she nodded and signed on the line
that was left for her signature. Tonio had already signed.
Blake notarized the signatures, and nodded to her as he picked them up and shook her
hand.  My best wishes, Miss Lange Mr. Rodriguez. He glanced reprovingly at Tonio and left
them.
The moment he was out of earshot, she turned on Tonio and hissed,  You are going to get
me fired! I can't afford to lose this job, dammit! I need the work!"
"You will be free to return to your job in half an hour. He slid his hand under her elbow [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
