Minutes after Carson reached his office the next morning, his receptionist buzzed him. “Mr. Edgar Farrell here to see you.”

Carson stared at Edgar, annoyed at the intrusion and not bothering to hide it. “I thought you asked if you could call me. What can I do for you that requires a visit?”

Edgar took a seat and crossed his knees. “I like to talk business in person. Talking on the phone can land you in trouble.”

Immediately alert, Carson sat forward, his eyes narrowed. “What do you have to say to me that could land you in trouble?”

“Look, man. I’m going back to Vegas day after tomorrow morning, because the fire gutted two floors of that hotel. It’s closed, and my gig there is up. I’m the one who engaged you for this job, so I’m telling you that if you find that will and it’s unfavorable to me, don’t tell Gunther and Shirley about it.”

As little as he thought of Edgar, he hadn’t expected him to sink to that level. He wondered how far the man would go. “How would I get paid?” he asked, appearing to consider the proposition. “If I don’t give the will to the lawyer, it won’t be probated, and if I do give it to him, he’ll share the contents with your siblings.”

“I can get somebody else to probate it. I’ve got contacts.”

“Why doesn’t that surprise me.” Carson stood and leaned over Edgar, almost touching him. “I’m an officer of the law, and even if I weren’t, I would not compromise my integrity and ruin my life by going in cahoots with someone who has no principles. Miss Marks will show you out.”

“I’ll fire you.”

“You can’t. Read the contract that you signed. If you make one more underhanded suggestion to me, I will terminate the contract and expose you to boot. Please leave. Now!”

Go easy, his conscience warned. That guy could someday be your brother-in-law. He grimaced from the pain of that thought. Another reason why he should watch his steps very carefully.
