Phone Calls With Jake

Using a list of legal companies from Tom’s business cards, Jake and I sat in my room the next morning. I smiled and dialed the first number, saying, “All right, let’s pretend we need some legal advice.” Jake gave a nod. He was prepared to leap in and support me. We acted like potential customers whenever a receptionist answered the phone in the hopes of catching a hint regarding Tom’s participation. It was time to use our imagination.

Jake’s eyes were wide as I repeated the firm’s nonchalant reference to Tom’s name. “Hold up,” he mouthed. The speaker on the call, attempting to seem professional, stated, “Tom has been in touch regularly.” I couldn’t believe we had just hit gold as I ended the conversation. Jake raised his fist to the sky. This was one more step in demonstrating Tom’s cunning. Piece by piece, we were on him.
