Chapter 13

Mr. Sanford-Leavit’s car wore a cloak of deception. It spun through traffic with practiced ease. Del appreciated a seasoned driver who could smooth through knotted parts of town. A lesser errand would’ve trapped them, but the expertise of the seasoned driver helped them quickly arrive at an unknown destination.

The car came to a luxurious stop. A man at the curb opened Lady’s door. Del jumped quickly out of the opposite door, and hurried to Lady’s side. He wouldn’t let anyone else weasel their way next to her. Having a prized possession like Lady kept him very close. Nothing could get in his way.

As it turned out, Mr. Sanford-Leavit’s only intention was to lead. Del and Lady followed him. Sanford-Leavit kept turning around to ensure his guests’ presence. That was his only acknowledgement of them. He said nothing. Not just to them, but to no one else either.

Security guards nodded at the lawyer. Del and Lady were ushered through the building. They were under the umbrella of Mr. Sanford-Leavit’s identity. No one questioned the trio and they passed under the wide ceiling.

They stepped onto a mirrored elevator. Mr. Sanford-Leavit pushed a high number and the door slid closed.

The lift rose to a staggering height in record smoothness. Lady and Del looked at the lawyer expectantly. He stepped forward and they entered a penthouse. Del’s surprise at what greeted him was back staged by Lady’s joy.

“Oh my goodness.” She ran into the room. “I remember this place. It used to be my grandpa’s. It still looks the same. Everything is still done in his style. I just didn’t know it still existed.”

She stopped sputtering and turned to the lawyer. “How can this be?”

“Well, as you know, all of your grandfather’s assets were liquidated at his death. This, however, was not his asset. He put it in my name, as a sort of trust, right after you were born.” The lawyer quit walking and stood very still. “It seems your grandfather noticed something strange and wanted this house to be off his records.”

Lady looked surprised. “But why didn’t anyone take it away?”

“It wasn’t mentioned in any will or bequeathments.”

Lady walked around and wagged her finger. “Then why didn’t you keep it for yourself? No one would’ve known.”

The lawyer chuckled softly. “I thought about it a few times. But some things would make me feel like less of a man instead of more. I remember you though. You were a precocious child, then grew into an innocent teenager. The few times I saw you in public or around town I couldn’t bear it. Too many other people are in this world to do harm. It would ruin my heart and soul to do something like take away your property. Anyone can be a thief or a liar, but not everyone can carry scars.”

Del nodded. “You are a good man, and better than most. Most men don’t consider feelings, or else they think scars are manly.”

The lawyer dipped his head. “After years of dealing with the ups and downs of society, I have learned a few things.
