ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON TEN

Episode 141

Richard was running late after an especially hectic day at work. Which irritated him because he wanted to go home to his family. To his husband. Things had been so busy that he hadn't found a single free point to return Nigel's calls to him. He actually found it odd that his husband had phoned so much. Nigel never really called him during the work day. They mainly just texted occasionally and shared lunch via FaceTime.

He was preparing to leave the office with the intention of picking up take out for dinner on the way home. Maybe Japanese. They all were fond of sushi even the foster children. Even though Richie made a big production out of being grossed out over eating raw fish. Then he remembered what Spencer had told him earlier that day. About Faith and LuLu Simms. So he quickly pulled up the woman's phone number from the file of that annoying will case and called her.

LuLu answered sharply," Yes ? Who is this? "

He said briskly," This is Richard Norland of the law firm Norland ........"

" I know who you are ," she shot out rudely. " You are the annoying shyster that manipulated my dead mother in law into that silly will giving that handicapped brother of yours control over everything. What the hell do you want now? I'm not paying for any damn tree. Trees are hideous. "

Richard sighed. Why would anyone marry this woman? " I'm not calling about the tree although I would appreciate it if you issued my brother a sincere apology and also replaced the tree. No. I am calling about you saying that you witnessed the incident between Detective Faith Lane and a uniform Montgomery County police officer. What exactly did you see that day, ma'am? "

LuLu laughed harshly. " I saw that little bitch that shot my boy getting arrested. That's what I saw. "

" Is that all you saw ? ," he probed further.

" Wouldn't you like to know , shyster ! "

Then she hung up promptly.

Richard made an impatient face at the phone as he picked up his briefcase. This time he really was leaving the office. His phone rang as he began to walk.

It was Lewis. His heart nearly stopped. His son never called him at work. Was something wrong ?

He answered it swiftly. " Lewis? What's wrong, son ? "

Lewis was hesitant as he said," Nigel is really sick. He hasn't eaten all night. We're kinda worried. Where are you? "
