Lawyer Kim:"So she and her boyfriend were planning on killing you and taking the inheritance. Hmm. You know they usually say two brains are better than one, but I beg to differ."
Irritation is written all over his face I havent' see that face in a while.
"I'm surprised you believe me,". He's always been like this. “You should ask for proof I could be lying.
Lawyer Kim:“I know you wouldn't lie.Even if you don't know me well I know you very well.” He always made it a habit to sip his coffee while speaking.
“You have always been a man of character and a hero to those in need. Word to the wise don't let that get you killed because sometimes being the hero is overrated sometimes letting sleeping dogs lie is a good thing.” If you had done that you wouldn't have ended up dead
Lawyer Kim:“I'll keep that in mind for the future. But right now the first thing that needs to be done is emancipation. I can put in an emergency request. Even if it's not settled in court before your birthday it's okay. What we really want to do is stall for the remaining days. This way you don't have to legally be there. “
“Good so I don't need to go back to that house”.
Lawyer Kim:“No, you're free. We just need to make it legal.”
“Thank you”
Lawyer Kim:“The next question I'm asking is because usually young people blow money quickly. What are you going to do once you get the money and have the house sold? I would suggest that you save it and go to college like your mom wanted.”
“I'm going to leave town and move far away. But I'm going to keep in touch. I mean I'm going to need a lawyer to help me with some plans I have”
Lawyer Kim:“Oh, plans?”
“Yes, plans. I have a few ideas for some income to make sure you and I will never have to worry about money again.”
Lawyer Kim:“Me? Well kid last time someone made me a big promise like that I ended up in a real mess”
“Really? How'd that work out?”
Lawyer Kim:“Well it's still working itself out and it's been interesting. More importantly right now we need to make sure you have somewhere to stay”
“Oh don't worry i can find a place to stay for on my o-”
Lawyer Kim:“No, I can't do that to you. I promised your mom I would help you and protect you. Here this key is to an apartment that I use for abuse victims when they need a few nights to stay when they are in between places. It's secure and no one can enter without clearance first.”
“You're just going to trust me so blindly. What if I trash the place.”
Lawyer Kim:“Don't worry, I have insurance.”
“Thank you”
Lawyer Kim:“ I still have work to finish up and meet clients so I won’t be able to go with you but I will stop by later tonight sometime to make sure you're okay. I’ll have Mrs. Potts sent for a taxi for you. Just wait in the waiting room”
I can't help but hug him again, I can feel the tears welling up. This man is the kindest and most noble I have ever met. “You truly are a good person and I won't let anyone hurt you this time around” I'm sure he could hear that since it's a whisper he's hugging back this time.
Lawyer Kim:“What was that”
“Nothing. I'll go wait for the cab and I'll head out and wait for you at the apartment.”
Lawyer Kim:“Okay see you in a little”
