The Lawyer Legacy

Chapter 4

Over four years of serving in this law firm, it continue to grow bigger and bigger. I just hope that we saved many people with their different cases, issues and problem.

I sighed silently when I found the door that I had been looking for. I knock the door thrice to tell him that I was here.

"Come in."

I smiled while pushing the door open.

Then, here is the man I was looking for. The first man who trusted me. The first man that makes me feel a child. The first who'd never left my side.

"Grandpa." I called him softly.

"Eva, dear. Come here. How are you? It's been a while since you showed up to your grandpa." He said while laughing. The Next time I know is that he was now hugging me.

I giggle. "Hi Pa. Actually it already been a year since I visited your office." I said after he let go of the hugs. I smile at her sweetly.

"Yeah. Hows my son? And oh! your two brother is almost done on their four years in college would  you like to have a little conversation with them?" He asked and offer me to have a sit. He was about to pick her iPad but I stop him.

"No need Pa. Maybe I could have a surprise visit for the two of them." I said in a giggle then I added. "I almost forgot. I came here to ask a little favor." I finally asked and to my surprise he just laugh at me.

"Sorry for that." He said after his laugh slows down. "Oh! I was thinking on when was the time that you really visited me because you miss and not just you needed my help." He sadly told me. I smile sadly and he continue. "Another big cases this time?" He asked just like before.

"Uhm yeah. Danielle Scott." I said frankly not knowing that it makes him feel uncomfortable. "Are you okay? Pa?" I asked and I slowly moving at his direction just to make sure that he was feeling alright. However, he jus slap his table that makes me stop at my direction. I look like a statue that was not completely sculpted. In short, I look like sucks!

"No!" Short but a dangerous answer. Guess I found where I have this legacy, genes and whatever sciences that makes it prove that I was like my grandfather and not my stupid father.

"No?" I still asked though his not paying any attention at me anymore. "You know, I had been looking for him for almost a years!"

"When I said no. That is my final decision!"

"The fuck, pa! You know why I chose this."

"Then what about you? Did you know that it makes your self put in danger? Do you know that you CANNOT WIN THIS FIGHT!"

I close my eyes, greeted my teeth hard and fold my fist hard that makes my knuckles turn white.

"Trust. WHERE IS YOUR TRUST ON ME?! Grandpa? I am lawyer for the goddess sake and I am not a kid anymore. The risk was always in me! You get that?"

"Yeah that was right. I trusted you that almost makes me sick that from time to time you win your case you got almost hit." Almost grandpa. "Scott is the last person that I wont make you see. Not even in this room, in the prison or even in the court!"

"Gosh! Pa.I only need your help so I could find evidence and support on my theory. I only need information for my research about him. Was that hard?"

"It was not hard. But what makes it hard? Is that our company receives his threats."

"Whaaaat?"
