Andrew got a text from Alex before he closed for work. Alex wanted them to meet at their usual meeting spot. He slipped the phone into his pocket and headed for the elevator, but someone called him from behind. He turned and saw a young lady standing behind him.She looked somewhat familiar, as though he had seen her somewhere in the past, but he couldn’t remember where or when. She walked towards him, wearing a warm smile. Andrew was skeptical about her approach, but he stood still, and when she offered him a handshake, he shook her hand as though he knew her.“Longest time, Andrew,” she said, still wearing her broad smile. “Do you still remember me?”Andrew shook his head.“Oh, I don’t blame you for that,” she said. “But...” She searched her handbag and fished out an old picture. “I bet you will recognize this.”Andrew took the picture from her and gazed at it for a while. Old memories came rushing back. The lady in the picture was an old friend from his teenage years. She had left

Back home, Andrew researched Miriam. She was quite influential in Florida and was already making a name for herself in his city. She had a wonderful track record of winning cases and had engaged in numerous legal battles with wealthy and powerful people who thought themselves untouchable.Andrew was particularly interested in her consistent victories and the kinds of battles she had fought in the past. She had taken on powerful politicians and left them humbled and defeated. That was the kind of person Andrew wanted as his legal counsel.He had been hoping to assemble a powerful legal team to pursue the case himself, especially since Alex had informed him that the Nelsons’ lead counsel was going around, hoping to bribe his way into securing the Nelsons’ release from custody.Having been satisfied with her track record, he found her card in his suit pocket and dialed her number while sorting his clothes with his free hand.Miriam, on the other end, answered the call as though she had b

Alex reached out before nightfall to report that three staff members of the hospital where Paul’s heart transplant had taken place had independently agreed to confess in court to what they knew about the transplant and how it had been carried out. However, the hospital director remained adamant.“Which of the staff members offered to testify in court?” Andrew asked. He was back at his place, glancing at his laptop screen while holding the phone to his left ear. He had a heavy workload to deal with, yet the legal battle with the Nelsons was consuming most of his time because he needed to make them pay.“A nurse, a cleaner, and…”“Do you think a nurse and a cleaner’s testimonies would hold water in court when we both know they are at the bottom of the hospital’s hierarchy…”“…and the lead surgeon,” Alex snapped. “You should let me finish, Andrew. Stop being desperate to prove a point.”Andrew sighed. Now, things were beginning to make sense. If the lead surgeon was ready to testify in c

With so much evidence gathered and the recorded testimonies of the three former hospital staff members, Miriam was ready to strike. The court hearing would resume in two days, and Andrew was eager for the day to come. The three witnesses who were ready to testify against the Nelsons and the hospital director were also preparing themselves, but Miriam was not ready to present them all at once.In court, as the hearing kicked off, Andrew’s team first presented the testimony of the maid, who clearly stated everything she knew about the Nelsons and their involvement in Lily’s death. According to her testimony, they had instructed her to poison Lily, after which they harvested her heart with the help of a surgeon and had it delivered for Paul’s heart transplant.Meanwhile, the Nelsons had assembled a formidable team of lawyers. Their lead counsel requested that the maid, whom Andrew’s team had presented as a witness, be brought in for questioning.The maid was ushered in by two court baili
