A day and a half later or so I was still drunk I got a call on my cell.
“Frank,” I hear George’s voice. “Yeah,” I yell, I’m still drunk and in a bar off the casino.
“Sue and her dad are in jail”he said.
“What?” I replied
“They tried to break in to your house, I had posted warnings listing your proper ownership of the house around the property and I guess they saw that and tried to sneak in the back way. The security guard saw them and started recording their actions and waited knowing that until they did something more they would get a slap on the wrist. They tried a key in the back door and it didn’t work and then they broke the window in the back door. That is when the security guy called the police. When the Police went to apprehend them they put up a fight and were tasered and arrested.” George was almost laughing.
“Wha” was my witty reply.
George laughed, “Get sober and call me back.”
“Ok.” I suavely said. Hey I was drunk I thought it was suave.
I went to my room and passed out and woke up to the universe being torn to shreds in my head… oh just housekeeping vacuuming in the hall.
I got up, popped an aspirin and jumped in the shower.
I felt about half human when I was done. I get dressed and called George. You got the first part so I wouldn’t repeat it.
“So the cops come and start taking them in when Sue freaks out and punches a cop.”
“They are both being held. Daddy stopped having a lawyer on retainer when he decided just to hold the properties he had until the market came back. It looks like they are going to have to sit thru the weekend. Her grandma is in the home and I don’t think they want to call their hoity-toity friends. I have a copy of the break-in video for your viewing pleasure.”
“Have they gotten the papers for the other suit yet?” I asked
He snickered, “Yes, when they were in the holding cell.” He laughed and said, “Daddy had a hissy fit when he read his.”
“Ok I want to see both Monday morning, before they are arraigned,” I said. “I am coming home as soon as I can.
“Ok buddy, “George rang off.
I went home fixed the door, got the like five thousand voicemails and deleted them without listening to one of them.
Now for the fun stuff on Monday morning.
My lawyer and I were in a conference room when Sue and her daddy walked in, she starts begging me to talk to her.
I look at her coldly and said “Shut up slut.”
Daddy started towards me, “If you do anything you can go away for a very long time.” I said “Sit,”
They both sat.
“Now you will listen and agree right now or I will go forward with all the suits and call the loan due and I know you can’t pull the whole million in 30 days without crippling yourself. Or…” At this point I waited.
He couldn’t even wait five seconds, “Or what” he grumbled.
I gave him a shit eating grin, “I drop all charges of trespassing and breaking and entering; she will still face the assault charges. I can’t change that and I will drop the fraud and alienation of affection and even call off the loan if…”
God I was enjoying this he was squirming.
