ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 198

As she watched Jeremiah Duncan follow her cousin in law The General and Kyle into the interrogation room in the homicide unit Claire's phone rang. She looked down at it. Marcus Simms. The newest junior partner. What on earth did he want?

" Yes ? ," she answered as she walked into the hallway outside of the unit. " May I help you?"

Marcus laughed. " I think the question is can I help you. And yes I can. Do you realize that there is a coup brewing at the firm ? And all over Richard Norland of all people. "

She furrowed her brow and then quickly straightened it out as she thought of the damage from wrinkles. " What exactly do you mean? " She thought of Ethan's resignation letter. Was it him ? Did he really have the brass balls to take her on ? If he did he would have the fight of his life ahead of him.

" I mean that Jeremiah Duncan is plotting to start his own firm in Maryland. Only he is going to fill it with your associates and clients like Volkouv Enterprises. He even has poached a couple of partners. Amanda Charm. Judith Xi. And Ethan Stone. He thought he had me but I was just playing him. I would never betray you, Ms. Lowen. "

" Thank you for this information. "

As she hung up her eyes grew colder. Then she made a call to the security personnel at the firm. To have them deactivate the work related phones and laptops and computers for Jeremiah Duncan, Amanda Charm , Judith Xi and Ethan Stone.

Oh they would have quite the surprise today. All of them.

----------

At the law firm of Lowen and Stone Amanda Charm and Judith Xi carefully and precisely packed up client files in big beige boxes.

Amanda said softly," I hope this doesn't backfire on us. "

Judith agreed as they began to carry the boxes out of the office and the building to place in the trunk of Amanda's car.
