Prompt: "Unfortunately, there's no way we can do this."

"Fortunately, you're wrong."

Pru was really attempting to hide the smirk that she knew was forming on her face. It would seem that Parker had found them a client, while on jury duty. And now Pru was about to watch Nate eat his words.

"Alright, we have a new client. Apparently, there is an evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine, et cetera, et cetera. Gloria Vargas is suing William Quint over the wrongful death of her husband. Now, it should be a simple, low-stakes wrongful death suit."

This is where Alec took over. "But Quint has help. Tobey Earnshaw of Earnshaw Pharmaceuticals. Father founded the company and he's still CEO."

"So, why does a drug heiress care about a lawsuit against a tiny supplements company?" Trust Sophie to actually voice the question on everyone's minds.

"'Cause, without telling daddy or the executive board, Earnshaw sank twenty million into R and D for FastLife in anticipation of buying the company."

Pru leaned forward now. "See, if Live Herbally loses this trial, then thousands of other lawsuits just like it will fall out of the sky and the buyout falls through."

Eliot nodded. "Yeah, and Earnshaw's out on her ass."

This time, Nate leaned forward. "To protect an investment that she knows kills people, Earnshaw is going to destroy this young widow."

Sophie got a little more animated. "Well, then, we have to win the court case for Gloria."

Nate scoffed and leaned back again. "We can't. no, guys, we got into this way too late. So, unfortunately, there's no way that we could win this."

Pru smirked at the mastermind. "Fortunately, you're wrong."

"We can't."

"Nate, we don't have to go all hog on this. Start small and try to con Quint into a settlement."

Parker frowned. "No, I thought that Earnshaw took settlement off the table?"
Pru watched as Nate's eyes lit up as he began to formulate one of his plans. "Well, then, you know, we try to convince him to put it back on. Good thinking, Pru."

As they continued talking, Pru just smiled. This job might just turn out great. At least it started out well.
