Chapter 21

Mark

I was really starting to get too familiar with crawling around unobserved, and it was beginning to bother me. I'm a man of action, not dirty shirt fronts. When Tabby called me to tell me about the harassment that morning from the cops, I added another stop on my list of night visits.

Thankfully, in neither of the two visits I had on tap for that night did I plan on having to use anything other than my stealth and observation skills. Of course, that didn't mean things couldn't change on a moment's notice, so I went prepared.

"Be careful," Sophie said to me as she lay back on the bean bag chair. Her stomach bulged like a soccer ball was under her shirt, and yet she was still beautiful to me. We'd even experimented on ways that we could still be intimate even after the doctors had told us that regular sex was not a good idea until about a month after the delivery. "Tabby's getting home late, so I'm going to be cold."

"She and Patrick will be home by ten," I said, giving her a quick peck. "You'll be fine until then. By the way, after the baby, I was thinking, maybe Patrick's ready for a patrol with me?"

"We can talk about it after the baby," Sophie said, "but I'm fine with it. He's better than I was when I started with you."

"Don't sell yourself short beautiful," I countered, kissing her again. "See you soon. I'll have coms up if you need to get in touch. And go to bed early, no need to try and stay up until I get home. Remember what's most important."

My first stop was Pressman Contracting. After the last time we'd spoken, Scott Pressman had apparently tried to turn over a new leaf, at least until his long nursed hatred against Tabby came out in the lawsuit. He'd worked hard when I checked in, and had even used his illicit bankroll to finance the expansion of his family's business. His little brother was now in college as well, studying business out west at UCLA.

I had thought Scott had finally let things go until the lawsuit. Thankfully, The Squid had kept his lawyers from digging too deeply into MJT, while at the same time stalling the system. He knew me from my previous life, and knew that going to court was the last thing I wanted. I'd be willing to pay a settlement first.

Still, civil law is a lot like poker in situations like this. We weren't playing the facts, we were playing the man. I knew Scott Pressman, and I knew some about Francine Berkowitz. The one advantage I had was that they didn't know me very well. Hopefully it was all the advantage I needed.

Setting up across the street, I waited while Scott closed up shop for the night. He'd gained about twenty pounds since I'd last seen him, most of it muscle. I guess when your dick doesn't work any longer, and your wife is accustomed to what he was, you did what you could to keep interest where you could.
