"Hook, line, and sinker. Is Maggie…Georgia okay? I may never get used to that."

"I checked on her this morning, she's fine. Are we still on for later?"

"You bet, I can't wait. I'll call as soon as Mr. Gallaher goes home for lunch."

"I'll be waiting."

Mr. Harold Gallaher, owner of Gallaher Superior Telephone Service, and a few other shady endeavors, looked a little green around the gills when he left for lunch. Nicole had gone up to his office several times since Jim told her about Maggie's lawyer, and come back down to her office looking distraught and a little on the pale side. It made him openly chuckle each time. He slipped the cellphone out of his pocket, let Austin know Gallaher was on his way, and then sat back to wait.

This was going to be good.
