EPISODE THREE
Amanda asked Jay to park right in front of the district attorney's office there in Queens Estate. Jay kept wondering why such a high profile lawfirm was in such a place like this. Maybe she was there on personal issues. But why would she be attending to personal issues during work hours.
Amanda walked out of the car and told Jay to wait as she went into the small office space that served as the attorney's lair.
Jay was now alone with Jason and she knew that it was a perfect time to talk to him about what had happened in his school that same day.
"Sweety can you tell me why you hit your classmate, Tommy?"
There was no reply from Jason he just put his head down and was playing with the zipper of his winter jacket.
"Jason you need to talk to mummy. I want to make sure this never happens again okay?"
"Where's my dad, mum?"
This question again. This was the hardest thing she had ever had to explain to her son.
"Hun, I've told you before that it's just me and you against the world okay? And when you're old enough i'd explain everything to you. But you still havent told me why you got into a fight today at school."
"Tommy called you a lesbian. He said that i have two mummies and no daddy. That was why i hit him."
Jay new how difficult it was for Jason but she told him this,
"Its true son. Mummy only dates women. But that doesnt make you less of a human or less special than the rest of them. It means you are unique."
She leaned and kissed him on his forward.
Amanda went into the office and looked around. Just by the corner close to a door was a desk with a middle age woman sitting behind it. Amanda walked towards her direction and asked to meet with Pierce Anderson, the district attorney.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Infact i do. Please let him know that Amanda Bright is here to see him."
Standing on the other side of his office desk, Pierce Anderson looked outrageously handsome in his oversized shirt and his loosed tie. He looked fashionably unkempt for an attorney. Just at the corner his jacket was hanging on the jacket stand.
"Please take a sit Miss Bright."
"Please call me Amanda."
"So i got your memo. I would really say that what you are demanding for is remarkably outrageous. You do understand the implications of this right?"
"Yes I do and that is why i am here. I am here not on my own accord but to represent the interest of the SMAT Tech Incorporation Company. The compensation we are offering to the residents is enough for them to restart their lives somewhere else."
"But what if they decide to fight this in the court of law."
"Then they would have to deal with the consequences. The compensation deal will be revoked and when they lose. They will eventually have nothing left. That is why i chose to speak with you directly so you can help them to make a better choice."
"I hear you Amanda. But you are one tough attorney."
She smiled and stood up, then dropped a file at the top of his table.
"This is all the information you need to learn about the compensation plan and the conditions that must be met. Thats my business card. You can call me when you have come to a conclusion.
"Well can i call you for dinner ? Say Friday night."
"Well i'd have to think about it."
She smiled and walked away.
Jay could see Amanda walking towards the car, she stepped out and opened the door for her. Then when she got in Jay turned to her and said.
"Can i drop off my son at the house ? Its just around the corner."
"Okay you have ten minutes."
"Ten minutes it is."
Jay drove to her house which was only a few minutes drive from the attorney's office. She dropped off Jason and told him to go meet his baby sitter. Then she ignited the car and asked Amanda where they would be headed next.
"Am taking the remaining day off."
She took her phone and dialed Thelma, her assistant.
"Has the reservation been made? Yes. Just clear my remaining schedule."
"Take me to L'eau De La Belle. I need a mini vacation."
By the time that Amanda was done at the spa, it was already a few minutes past seven. It was her maid's day off and she felt felt it was too late to cook so she went to grab some Chinese food. It wasnt really her style because she preferred to eat healthy food to maintain her body and stay healthy but tonight she was feeling like to go out of her usual routine.
Jay watched from the glass window as Amanda ordered for her Chinese take outs. Then from the distance she noticed an odd looking person from the corner of her eye surveying the area and moving suspiciously. When the person came closer it was a man wearing a black drench coat and a black head warmer. Then he walked into the Chinese restauraunt and brought out a gun.
Everyone laid on the floor including the gorgeous Amanda Bright.
Jay knew that restaurant very well. She would bring Jason their sometimes to have some stakes.
She also knew that there was a back entrance to the restaurant from the kitchen.
She then opened the door slowly and bent over in order not to be seen. She then went into the restaurant through the back door, unnoticed.
She had undergone some training during her scout days and took some classes to learn how to defend herself. But this wasnt just some training, this was real life.
She went in and surprised the robber from the back. Took a piece of wood sitting at the corner and hit him behind his head. She disarmed him and asked everyone to calm down that everything would be alright. She then brought out her phone and dialled 911. Then reported the case of an attempted robbery.
Amanda saw everything that happened and she was flabbergasted.
Jay noticed the astonished look on her face and then walked towards her to help her up.
Amanda managed to say a thank you.
Jay and Amanda waited around for the police to come and then gave their statements. Then Jay drove Amanda home to her apartment.
"Thank you for having my back Jay."
"You deserve it Miss Bright."
"No i dont. I almost called your work place to get you fired today because you went to be there for your son."
"But you didnt right ? "
Amanda hugged Jay tighly. Kay smiled and tried not to make a big deal out of a friendly hug.
Amanda walked into the building that her apartment was in and Jay went into the parking lot, got in her truck and drove home.
She walked to her mail box that was in front of her house and took out all the mails. She shuffled through them as she walked back to her apartment then one caught her eye.
It was from Harvey Law Firm.
She tore the envelope open and skimmed through its content. It looked interesting.
She got to her house, sat on the couch in her living room and then gave it her attention.
By the time she was done reading its content she was enraged.
It was a Friday and way past working hours so she could not go to the district attorney's office to make inquiries.
She then placed a call to his personal cell and it went straight to voice mail.
Amanda got dressed in a quiet suggestive outfit. It was her style to emanate every ounce of sexual appeal after work hours talk less of when she is going on a date.
She knew that Pierce Anderson would be there to meet her any minute. Her door bell rang and when she opened it she was surprised that it wasnt Pierce that was standing in front of her house.
It was an angry looking Jasmine Sanders.
"Jay what are you doing here?"
Jay brought out the envelope in her hand and handed it to her.
"You knew about this?"
"Yes. But its just business."
"Its business to you but this is personal for me. It is for my son, for me and for the many families who would be rendered homeless. How are you going to live with it huh?"
"Can we talk about this some other time. I'm kind of in the middle of something now. I'll call you tomorrow and we can meet and talk."
Jay walked back to her truck and drove off.
A few minutes later Pierce parked his car in front of Amanda's house and went to ring the doorbell.
Amanda appeared after a few minutes and opened the door.
"Oh its you."
"Yes its me. Where you expecting someone else ? "
"Not really. Let me grab my things and we can be on our way."
