A/N-I didn't get this done yesterday thanks to other things happening. But anyway, this chapter is about 'Reese's Friend'. A sexy new woman named Shannon works at the law firm where Reese works and Reese keeps canceling dates with Julia because of work so Julia gets so jealous that she calls off the relationship and goes to the ball at the country club with a male escort she hires named Harrison Wright.
Let's see what happens with Miss Shannon and Harrison later.
Several days later, after the end of a long day, the last thing Shannon Gibbs wanted to do is work but she was the one who bugged her boss to let her do more case work. To actually be a lawyer and not a figure head.
So she was called to defend someone named Harrison Wright….why did that name sound familiar?
So she went into court with a sigh and she got to the defense table and sat her briefcase down and to her right came in the defendant and she saw him,
Oh.
Her body went on alert in mere seconds but she quickly composed herself just as the judge came in the room an the persecution and the bailiff shouts out,
"All rise for Judge Kramer!"
The judge comes up then says,
"Be seated. What is the defendant charged with?"
A nervous young 24 year old says,
"Um, Adam Bentley for the persecution your honor, Mister Wright is charged with breech of contract"
A overly, plump woman from the audience stands up and shouts out in a screechy
voice,
"He didn't do his job!"
Harrison says back,
"I did so! You just expected too much!"
Judge Kramer pounds her gravel then says,
"Mister Bentley, Miss Gibbs please control both your client and outbursts from the audience. I take it this is the person filing the complaint?"
The woman proudly stands up and says,
"Yes ma'am. I'm Lucy Carmichael. I'm the one who hired him to do a job and he didn't do it!"
Harrison whispers something in Shannon's ear and she then speaks up and says,
"I am Shannon Gibbs, attorney for mister Wright. Mister Wright is a paid escort. Mrs. Carmichael hired him to escort her to a art function last night. Mr. Wright came, picked her up, escorted her to the function then took her home. As far as I can see, he fulfilled his duties. Mrs. Carmichael just expected 'a little something extra' which would then cause Mr. Wright to break the law"
The judge looks at the child prosecutor and the hefty woman filing the case and asks,
"Please come forth Mrs. Carmichael. Is this true, did he take you to the function?" "Well, yes but…" "Then I see no laws broken. The charges are dropped. And mister Bentley, you might want to try speaking a syllable for your clients next time"
She bangs the gravel and Mrs. Carmichael turns and glares at the boy prosecutor
And Shannon and Harrison look at each other and smile then he asks,
"Would you want to go for drinks?"
She closes her briefcase then says with a sly smile,
"I would like that"
A/N—And the rest is imagination! I'm sorry this chapter is longer, I just felt I had to really write it out.
