I opened the door with my client in front of me, his hands extended, showing that he was cuffed. The police officer went to draw his gun, but then saw the situation and stopped.

“The sister tried to call, but we didn’t get to it in time.” I looked at the cop. “Can you have her call again?”

“Yeah, just a sec.” The officer pulled out his phone and walked off.

I waited, looking at the man while also monitoring my phone while trying to not look at my watch. It rang a moment later. I answered and put it on speakerphone.

“Justine?” The man asked. “Is that you?”

“Eric?”

“Yeah.”

“They have him custody.” She paused. “I heard what you did for me. I really appreciate it. I’m sorry that they’re going to arrest you.”

“Anything to take care of my little sis.”

“I’ll come visit.”

I disconnected. I didn’t want to give her a chance to tell him she had been arrested. I had the bare minimum required to get Eric to go with the police officer. I held a hand up to the cop as he approached.

“One final communication with my client,” I said.

The officer stepped back.

“As I’ve already explained, I’ve gone to a lot of work to craft a way for you out of this situation with the least amount of time in jail possible. Don’t squander it. You go with the police officer. You only say polite things. You only do nice things. You don’t give him any information about anything and you let me handle everything.”

He said nothing.

I motioned for the officer to come forward, who took Eric by the arm and escorted him to the police car.

Eric looked back at me and said something that shocked me.

“Thank you.”

I just nodded. It was surprising to have anybody express gratitude in my line of work.

I returned to my desk, checked the clock, and then went to work on the memo, hoping to finish before my deadline.
