Sally and Dianna sat down across a few chairs from each other. "So.. Let me start by asking who is your father?" Sally asked. Dianna sorted through her papers and placed one on the table and slid it towrd Sally answering "I believe you know him as Doc Hudson." Sally glanced at the papers. Dna test results that person a (Doc Hudson) was in fact her father and person b (Geneva Swwann) was her mother. Sally sighed and put the paper down and asked "With all do respect, how do I know this isn't faked? I mean the dna is real but.. Come on.. Anyone could have written anyones name down there with the right people.." Dianna looked offended. "Because I am a professional. I do not break the law, I own it." she snarled. Sally stared a moment. Luckily she had her own dna work done to match up. Sally took out her papers and looked at the matching the results up of Doc's dna. Sally looked at the papers and sighed.
Seemed the same. Dianna glared and continued "So as you see, I am legit. Now.. Here is the paperwork. I have my rights here. And I have rights to my father's things." She was short and to the point. Sally nodded and explained "Doc didn't have a will.. So.. Everything was placed into a museum pretty much.. And.. The money he had updated the museum and upgraded the clinic and some other places around town.. We.. Thought that might be what he would have wanted." Dianna shook her head and took out other papers and gave them to Sally explaining "These papers here state my rights as his daughter. Also.." She grabbed some more out. "These explain the conditions of how I came to find that Doc Hudson was my father and.." Fuck she was prepared. Sally stared as more documents were placed in front of her. "And this is a lawsuit in place in case you as mayor decide to refuse my requests. I am prepared to sue the town for taking what was mine. I understand that it maybe pretty impossible for this town to give me everything back.. So.. I am acceptable to a settlement." Sally was a little shocked. Dianna was so prepared. Sally sighed and had to take a minute to think.
"You got all that?" Dianna asked in this snotty way. Sally nodded and finally replied "Okay.. So.. The town is definitely not giving you the museum or the uh.. The items placed in the museum." "So the settlement than. Great." Sally shook her head correcting "Um, no. That's not what I said.. I want to make sure this is legit first.. I know you have this.. Dna that seems credible, but.. I. I knew Doc personally and.. It just.. Something doesn't sit well here. I'm sorry. So you understand that I'll want this placed under investigation first." Dianna sighed and began taking back her papers. "That is fine. But if that's what you want, it will end with a much larger settlement for damages caused by the failure of your town and court to locate next of kin to Hudson at the time of his death.. So have your lawyer ready." Sally nodded and announced "I'll be representing the town actually. I was an attorney for a long time and this is exactly the type of work I did."
Dianna stared and snickered. "You? Um.. Alright... What kind of attorney were you? A city and town attorney?" Sally nodded. This made Dianna giggle a little. "Alright.. You do that. A city attorney.. That's funny." Dianna grabbed her things and began leaving but turned and added "Oh.. Sense it'll be a few weeks, I'll be staying in town. We should definitely not do coffee." She opened the door and stepped out in the hall where Lightning was. She glared at Lightning once and continued to leave. Sally stepped out next to Lightning and he quickly asked "So?.. How did it go?" Sally sighed and admitted "It's.. Gonna be a few weeks but the dna matches Light.. She even looks like him.. I'm kinda thinking she's his daughter.. And she's.. Prepared to sue the town for damages.." she whispered. Lightning was shocked. "What!?" "Shh... Yeah.. So.. I may have to let her have her settlement." Lightning shook his head. This woman was unbelievable and only causing trouble.
"It's not fair.. She can't just come here and expect to get whatever she says is hers. It's just like Cleo coming in and taking what she wanted." Lightning growled. Sally nodded and stared at Lightning. He was kind of hot when he was all pissed off and mad. "You know.." Sally began. "If you wanted to be on the town's council.. All you'd have to do is have a short interview with the mayor." Lightning shrugged. "Seems silly.. I mean you're gonna be my wife again soon. Plus, I'm so busy with the school and academy and the kids to." he replied. Sally glared and crossed her arms. Lightning raised a brow asking "What?" Sally just glared this.. Glare. Lightning started to catch on and asked "You.. Didn't mean that literally.. Did you?" Sally shook her head. She meant more sex. "Too late now mister. Moment has passed." She walked around him. Lightning smiled a little. It was nice feeling wanted by Sally.
Then it clicked! Sally stopped and turned around with this OMG expression! "What?.." Lightning asked. Her face made him feel nervous. "Oh god Lightning!.. I am so sorry for what I did to you earlier!" She cried. Lightning stared at her a little confused. Did she mean the sex? Cause that was NOTHING to be sorry about. Lightning cleared his throat and asked "Um.. For what earlier?" Sally glanced down at the floor. She didn't want to say it if he wasn't harmed by it, but now he was asking. She sighed. "Having sex with you in that office again.." Lightning shrugged with a smile "Why would you be sorry for that?" He almost laughed. Sally played with her own fingers and she quietly explained "Because.. Because Cleo.. And what she did to you.. in there.." Lightning's eyes widened as he reminded of that rape on the floor in there.
"I can always have my office moved to another room Light.. I'll probably do that for you..I'm so sorry. It was ao inconsiderate of me!" Sally cried and wrapped her arms around him. Lightning hugged her back and smiled. She loved him so much and he was never even thinking about Cleo and what she had done to him there. "Sal I promise I'm okay. She never crossed my mind. And you.. Dam.." He said as he lifted her chin up. "Dam I love you and you are full of sexy surprises. At least sometimes. Stop apologizing for things like that. Earlier today, will be one my favorite memories of you." he said with a smile then kissed Sally passionately. Sally smiled. She was so relieved that he was okay!...
Later that night, as the couple cuddled up to bed together. Lightning decided something good should happen and brought up a few things. First, "Hey Sal.. When do you wanna get married again anyway?" Sally, who was sitting in bed next to Lightning shrugged. "Well.. When we feel ready I guess." Lightning nodded. "When will that be for you?" he asked. Sally swallowed nervously as she thought about that. When would that be? "Um.. I'll know when I know.." Lightning sighed with a frown hearing that. "Alright..." So now his next question. "I need to ask permission for something.." Sally raised a brow and giggled softly. "You don't need permission to do things?" Lightning shrugged explaining "For this I do.. um.. Jackson asked me to take him to see Cleo.." Sally's eyes widened. "Now, that doesn't mean I have to go in and see Cleo myself.. But I would have to help Jackson inside.. The police might want me to stay by him." Lightning explained. Sally thought about that.
It meant Jackson or Lightning or both of them find out the truth. But she was keeping Jackson from seeing again. Did that make her the bad guy? Maybe she should come clean. Sally sighed and frowned. Lightning took her hand and assured "I won't go if you say no. If you're not comfortable with it, okay. I won't do anything that makes you too.. Uncomfortable.." Sally nodded then turned away. Thinking. Should she tell the truth or not? I mean really, what could Cleo do to him from jail? "Let me sleep on it. Kay?" Sally answered and asked. Lightning smiled and kissed Sally's cheek. "Good enough for me. Love you beautiful." "Love you Stickers..". The two covered up and Lightning looked over at her adding. "And hey... No rush on the marriage thing Sal.. I love you. Take all the time you need. Okay?" Sally smiled hearing that and nodded. Wow. Lightning really had changed for the better clearly...
Bbbbzzzzzz
bbbbbzzzzz
Lightning rolled over and saw it was his phone buzzing.
bbbzzzzz
Lightning grabbed it and glanced at it. Rubbing his eyes from his blurry vision then grabbing his glasses. His Mom.
"Hello?"
Monty.. I'm glad you answered because I.. I.. I think I'm lost..
"What?.. Mom.. Where are you?" Now he was awake.
I.. I'm not sure I.. I got up like I always do to help the neighbors with their cattle in our field and.. I walked outside.. And onto the road and I.. I don't reconize this.. I don't remember moving here..
She sounded scared. Lightning quicky got up and grabbed his pants putting them on. "Are you on the street? By houses?"
Um. Yes.. Yes..
Lightning grabbed his shoes and a shirt.
"The house with the blue mail box and chickens on it. Do you see it?"
I.. I don't know.. It's awful dark Mon..
"I'm on my way.. Be right there. Stay on the phone with me okay?"
Yeah, okay..
Lightning nudged Sally but she was pretty tired after the things of the day. So Lightning left a note on the side table and left in a hurry.
Lightning pulled up and the headlights shined on Minty who was sitting on a curb on the street. She wasn't far from her house actually. Lightning got out and walked over to his mom and sat with her. "You okay?" Minty nodded. But she wasn't. Lightning sighed and pulled his mother close. "Mom.. I love you.. Thank you for always being there for me.." Minty snickered asking "Oh yeah.. Like now? Can't believe I forgot Radiator Springs.. How stupid am I!?" "Mom... You're not stupid.. Come on.. I'll take you back home." "Why? So I can forget where the toilet is!?" she asked. Lightning sighed. What waa he suppose to do? "Come on.. First let me get you inside.." Minty hesitated agreeing but nodded and let her son help her into his car before he took her home...
