Chapter Thirty-Three

Denver

I received a text from Sam and read it on my way to the office. Miss my red-nosed Los Angelino. Our time together was special. You’re special. Who am I supposed to make pancakes for now?

A smile spread across my face. I couldn’t help liking that he missed me. Well, he must do, to send a text like that.

I contemplated my reply. Had to hit exactly the right note, couldn’t sound wimpy. I finally came up with – Hmm . . . memories of special pancakes. I’m certainly in the mood for more.

Ambiguous. Just right.

I was still smiling when I entered the office.

Mister Shark Teeth soon wiped the smile off my face with a tart lecture about the importance of client/lawyer relationships.

I stood firm. Told him enough was enough, and that I was no trained babysitter.

He finally accepted the fact that I was done, and then informed me that we would both be attending the funeral on Thursday as a show of respect. I agreed, even though it would mean missing my family dinner.

I finally made it into my office and summoned Megan – my own personal intern who unfortunately was not the competent assistant I had promised Annabelle. Megan was the daughter of a business associate of Mister Shark Teeth, and she was about as dense as they come. I’d tried to teach her a thing or two, but getting through to her was like slogging through the desert at noon in ski-clothes.

Megan was a Valley Girl with nothing but shopping, clubbing and boyfriends on her mind. Her heroes were Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. She worshipped Zac Efron and considered George Clooney and Brad Pitt to be two very old men.

Actually, after thinking about it, she’s probably the perfect person to hang out with Annabelle. Two spoiled brats together.

I sent her off to the Maestro mansion with a brisk warning to behave herself and try to represent the firm in a suitable fashion.

Megan was thrilled to escape boring office duties.

After she’d left, I sat at my desk and reviewed the work I had piling up. A shoplifting case involving a TV has-been and a small boutique. And an aggravated assault case between a rapper and a fine upstanding member of the paparazzi. Nothing too exciting, but since both cases involved fairly well-known people, I would try to make the most of them.

In a way I regretted the fact that Ralph had not been accused of his wife’s murder. It would’ve been one hell of a case to help defend. Felix would’ve done an excellent job, and I would’ve been right there beside him watching and learning.

After a while I called the vet to inquire about my dog, Amy Winehouse. Amy did not take kindly to being boarded at a kennel, so whenever I traveled I boarded her at my vet, because they treated her like the queen she thought she was.

“I’ll pick Amy up later today,” I informed the receptionist.

“Uh, Miss Jones, your friend came in with his cat yesterday morning, and when he spotted Amy he said he’d take her.
