Posner's Gripe

While Tracy did her work in the studio, I finished the dog food for her.

When Posner went to check on it, Tracy told him she did it.

Dozier's dog loved it just as much as he did the previous bowl.

"Congratulations. You were able to repeat your accidental success. But you'll need to do other work if you are to survive in this studio, daughter" said Posner.

"Yes, father" said Tracy.

Well, at least he didn't abuse her. 

In his office, Posner found a letter with his name on it.

It said it was from Burt Ward.

Posner angrily read the letter then frantically picked up the phone.

"Get my lawyer!" he said.

Later, a lawyer read a will.

"The will stipulates that if after a period of five years from West's death, no one as close to him will offer to take over, his business and Ward's will be passed to the father of Tracy Posner. You" he said.

"I know what the will stipulates! But Ward sent me this letter! I want to know if it... if my daughter changes anything" Posner shouted.

"She has not done much" said the lawyer.

"Of course she hasn't! Ward has! He invited her to work here! And all this time, I thought I did! The deadline in West's will expires in less than a month! Suddenly, my daughter arrives and I receive a letter from the former Boy Wonder claiming her arrival was his doing? Highly suspect!" Posner babbled.

"If you don't like it, why did you let her work in this studio?" said the lawyer.

"My daughter needed a job"

"Only a job?"

"Well... yes"

"Then what are you worried about? You can keep an eye on her while I go ask Burt Ward what all this is for" said the lawyer.

"Mark my words! This whole thing is highly suspect! She knows... something" said Posner.

"Relax; she's the studio housekeeper. I think you can handle her" said the lawyer as he left.
