Chapter 34: Legality
"I'm in the real world, some people try to steal from me, and I stop them, frequently, take them to court. I love a good lawsuit. It's fun."
~~ Alan Alda
"There has to be something you can use against him!"
Ju Vong slammed the file down on her desk, pacing the wide expanse of her office. Her tail lashed dangerously, like a cat-o-nine-tails.
"I'm sorry but he's flawless to the public."
"Flawless?" the femme turned to see a black panther standing tall. "I doubt it." She looked him up and down and sneered. His left arm was in a sling hidden by his jacket.
"And who are you?"
"Bagheera's father, Bagh Mundala." Ju Vong looked the panther over, an eyebrow quirked in curiosity. "I wish for my son back, I will not have him marrying that… that… Bastard."
"Well, then we have a similar desire. I do not wish for my ex-husband to be tied down to your faggot of a son and you don't want him to be homosexual, am I right?"
"Correct on both accounts."
"Now what can you provide?"
Mundala held out a file.
"Enough doctor's evidence for assault."
Ju Vong grabbed the file and skimmed it over.
"Hmm… A broken nose and sprained wrist… I think I could do something with that…"
"How soon?"
"Let me build a case, but I'd say no sooner than next June."
"Eight more months…" Mundala murmured…
Eight more months then he could cure his son.
