Sam Ratsch had just gotten back to his hotel room. His phone started to ring.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hello." "Is this a Mr. Samuel Ratsch?" A man's voice said.
"Yes it is." "Who's calling?"
"I'm an attorney." "My name is Mr. Black and there's an urgent matter I need to discuss with you." "Can you come to New York City tomorrow?"
"Does it have to be tomorrow?" "I'm very busy."
"The sooner we get this matter resolved the better."
"Fine." "I'll talk to my boss." "What is this all about?
"I'm not at liberty to say over the phone." "Does 9 AM work for you?"
"Yes."
"My secretary will give you directions to the office."
The next day Sam went to the lawyer's office in New York City. He went into the office.
"Hello Mr. Ratsch."" Mr. Black said. "Sit down." He sat down. "Mr. Ratsch did you ever know an Audrey Williams?"
"I dated her a few times right after my divorce."
"I regret to inform you that she passed away last night." "She had cancer."
"That's sad." "I'm still confused as to why I'm here."
"Audrey had a daughter." "She's four." "Her name is Penelope Madison Ratsch."
"Excuse me?" Sam said confused.
"You're listed as her father on the birth certificate." He said opening a folder and showing it to him. "Miss Williams gave you custody of her in her will."
"Just because my name is on the birth certificate doesn't mean I'm her father."
"Miss Williams had a DNA done during her pregnancy." He said handing John another paper. "It's a match to you." "If you refuse to take responsibly for the child she will become a ward of the state and placed into foster care."
"No, I'll take her." "Where is she?"
"In a group home at the moment." "I can make a call and have you pick her up at the Department Of Family Services."
As Mr. Black made the call Sam's brain was racing. He couldn't believe he had a daughter.
