"Taxi!" Gary yells throwing a hand up in the air. A yellow cab pulls off to the side

and he hops in it. "To Madison Towers and fast!" Gary informed.

"Sure thing buddy," the driver said as he sped off. "So are you a lawyer or just in need of one?" the driver asked.

"How's that?" Gary replied.

"Madison Towers… It's a law firm. Are you a lawyer or just in need one one?" He asked again.

"Well…I…a…hey what do you know it's my stop," he handed the driver money as
he got out. He looked down at the paper and read the article. "Yesterday at
11:39 AM 28 year old Adison Tacarski was found in his office passed out after
slitting both of his wrists. No word at this time why Tacraski did it police are still
investigating," Gary looked up from the paper and across the street from where
he was standing to Madison Towers. He jogged across the street and entered the building. Outside of the building a cab is speeding down the road but jerks
to a stop in front of Madison Towers. Anatonia and her cameraman walks out.

"Well… Well… Well Madison Towers! How convienent! Pay the man!" she told her cameraman.

There is a knock at an office door. "Come in," a man yells distressed. Adison, the
top lawyer at the firm sits at the desk in his office. He is a very clean-cut man
with short dark brown hair and extremely attractive. A man walks through his
door shuts it then sits down at a seat in his office.

"You know something Adison I'm sick of your delusional stories! If you didn't do it then where's your proof!?"the man yelled across the desk.

"I don't know Jackson!" Adison replied weakly.

Jackson Carter is another top lawyer at the firm. He has short blond hair and
light piercing blue eyes. He is dressed in the very best and is also very enthusiastic
in all of his movements and words.

"You don't know… you don't know!" he raised his arms.

"She didn't get to be top reporter with her looks you know… Anatonia's got everything! All of the jewelry… all of the receipts everything!" he whined.

"Yea well you didn't get to be as good as you are with your looks either," he got up and opened up the door but stopped half way out. "Oh and Adison that's where your wrong not only does she have your jewelry and receipts," he started counting on his fingers, "she's also got your job, your life and your freedom!" Adison scrunched his face.

"My freedom!" he responded to Jackson.

"Yes Adison your freedom. They will lock you up tighter than food in a
zip lock back if you're convicted of raping Anatonia. Her husband's not letting
you or this case off easy. Oh hey and did I mention that your being blamed for
the attempt hit and run this morning," he looked down at his watch. "Well
what do you know I gotta go but they Adison chin up!" he said slamming the
door.

Adison folded his arms on his desk and set his head on them. He then

turned his head so that half of it was resting on his arms. Out of the corner of

one eye he noticed his envelope opener. Adison slowly went for it studying the

opener.

Gary walked out of the elevator on the 11th floor and walked up to the

receptionist.

"Excuse me ma'am Adison Takarski his office is?" Gary asked. The

receptionist pointed down the hall and went back to her typing. Gary started

trotting down the hall. The receptionist looked up.

"Sir… Sir! You're not aloud in there with out permission. Mr. Tacarski requested no visitors," she yelled.

Gary turned around still walking backwards.

"What?! Your giving me permission gee thanks," he turned around and kept running. He stopped at the end of the hall.

"Adison Tacarski," he read the gold plate on the door out loud. The receptionist

started down the hall.

"Sir! Mr. Tacarski asked for no visitors!" he ignored her. "Sir!" she yelled. He went to open the door.

"Locked," Gary said aloud. He stood back from the door then ran at it with all his might busting it down with his shoulder. The secretary stopped half way down the hall and started back towards her desk.

"Security!" she yelled. The room was empty.

"Adison," Gary called out, "Adison Tacarski? You in here?" Gary's eyes wondered around the room. He heard a groaning. "Adison is that you?" he asked going to the head of Adisons desk and looking over the edge.

There on the floor of the other side of the desk lay Adison in a pile of blood.

Blood smeared all over his suit and skin, his eyes barley open.

"Hold on Adison," Gary yelled as Adison's eyes began to close. Gary threw off his flannel over shirt and ran over to Adison'.

"Come on Adison! Stay with me here!" he wrapped the shirt around both wrists andapplied pressure.

"Somebody get in here! Help!" Gary yelled. He looked down atAdison. "Come on now! Adison!" he grabbed the cup of water on Adisons desk and splashed some on him.

"Somebody help!" he yelled as someone bolted through the door. It was the receptionist. "Listen lady go call 911!" Gary yelled.

She took off down the hall.

(Anatonia and the cameraman are in the elevator.)

"Come on! Come on! I could walk faster than this!" she yelled tapping her feet.

The lawyer in there with them glanced at her. The elevator hit the 11th floor and

the woman lawyer got out. Tonia looked up from her watch and out of the

elevator doors. She and the cameraman saw the police. They turned to each

other.

"Hobson!" they said in unison. The cameraman jammed his arm between the door to stop it and they got out.

Anatonia went up to the police officer in charge.

"What we got here chief," she asked.

"Somebody get her out of here!" he stated.

"But I'm Anatonia Giovani!" she replied.

"I don't care if your Mother Teresa you wanna know what happens read it in tomorrows newspaper!" he started.

Paramedics rushed through the door. She turned to her cameraman.

"I AM tomorrows newspaper!" she shot back.

"Somebody get these clowns out of here!" the policeman ordered. Two guards grabbed Giovani and the cameraman.

"You will pay for this!" she yelled over her shoulder.

Gary now held Adison in a bear hug tightly on the floor.

"Adison listen to me now… don't go to sleep… come on Adison," Gary urged.

He was now also covered in blood. Paramedics rushed into the room. Adison

was quickly taken out of his arms and placed in a bed. Gary was helped to his

feet.

"If you would have showed up about 3 minuets later he would have already been dead. You saved that mans life Mr. Uhhh," a paramedic said.

" Hobson… Gary Hobson. Uhh you don't suppose I could get a ride to the hospital?" Gary asked softly.

"No problem at all. Will get you all cleaned up there too," he told Gary leading him out of Adisons office.

Armstrong was at the door to greet them and started to walk down the hall

with them.

"Hobson I should have known.So what were you doing in Adisons office?" he

questioned.

" Hiya Armstrong long time no see. What was the question?" Gary asked.

"Don't play games with me Hobson!!!He didn't have any meetings or appointments, he even asked for no visitors or so the receptionist says. So what were you doing in there?" Armstrong asked again.

"Oh… well… visiting! Yea visiting," they walked onto the elevator. "Ya see Adison and I went to school together," Gary added.

"What a perfect time for a visit. And while most people would just leave a note when a doors locked and no one answers you find it hospitable to bust his door down?"

"Well you know me not like the rest," Gary smiled.

"Well be in touch Hobson," he stated. They got off the elevator and walked out of the building.

"So why are you soaked with blood Hobson? Someone get to youbefore me?" someone asked. He turned his head as he got into the ambulance.

"Giovani! Hey there's two more charges stalking and threatening my well being!" he said slamming the door of the ambulance shut.
