Chapter 101: Good News (1)
Jack was just getting into his Land cruiser to head back to the hotel after his last class of the day when he received a call from Henry.
"Hey Henry, what’s up?"
"Jack! Oh my god! I am so glad I took your offer to start my own practice!"
Did the FIS act on that evidence he extracted from Gefen and sent to them?
"Well, I’m glad you’re glad, but it sounds like this is more than general gratitude. Did something happen?"
"Yes. Candice keeps in touch with some of the secretaries over at my old law firm, and she just told me that the feds raided the place. Do you know how badly a law firm has to crew up for the feds to raid them?"
Henry didn’t give Jack a chance to answer and continued, "Candice wasn’t certain, but it sounded like all three partners were in deep shit, and some of the associates too. I used to feel annoyed that I never got a chance to work on a case with any of the partners, but now I’m really glad I didn’t, otherwise they’d probably be raiding me too. But here’s the real kicker. I did a search on the names of the partners, just so see what news might pop up, and found a real shocker. I sent you the link to the article. Short version? Gefen is dead. Apparent suicide."
Yes! Take that, you rat bastard. He wondered if it was really suicide or if Gefen’s unsavory associates had taken exception to the feds poking around where they were not wanted.
"Do you think the two are related? The raid and Gefen’s death."
"I wasn’t sure but when I told Candice about it, do you know what she said?"
"I’m not surprised?"
