The Auction

Chapter 11

Taehyung's POV

Dana and I make into my office to begin our day. She makes the coffee while I place the breakfast sandwiches on the table, that we picked up on our way to work. Then I go head to the file room and get our cases for today.

When I walk in my office, my coffee is sitting by my sandwich and waiting for me. The sweet smell of the creamer I like greets me, as I place the files on her desk. I hand her a thick manila envelope. Normally I would just open it, but it is heavy and I want to eat. We take our time and enjoy our food and coffee. This time is always the quiet before the storm.

Taehyung: Dana I would like to go see my friends at the auction house.
I miss them and haven't really seen them since my marriage.

I keep in touch with them, and even planned a wedding cake for one. I watch her for her reaction while I my sandwich. She nods her heads and begins to open one of the envelopes.

Dana: Sounds good. Maybe we can set up a visit with the auction house this weekend.
I smile and notice that her voice sort of fades at the end of her sentence.

She begins shuffling through the papers, with a look of concentration etched on her face. Slowly a smile crept up on her face, then she handed me the papers and continues to eat. Dana watches me with a smirk on her face.

I looked through the papers and found pure joy. The international government was opening a case against Mrs. Lee. They were also blocking effective immediately her ability to get a marriage license, or purchase a husband until the investigation was over.

They were also blocking her access to all brothels. They will be interviewing men from legal and illegal brothels and auction houses within a 100 miles of her home to check for abuse. She is also unable to hire men or women to work in her home. Adopt children, male or female. Her finances both personal and private are being checked for fraud and payouts.

I have never been happier about anything in my life. Man it feels like my birthday fell on Christmas and I hit the lottery. I hate this woman, I have disliked some people but I hate her. I kept reading and found my mother and Rini are also under investigation. I really don't care about those two, they get what they get. Lets just say I will not be losing any sleep over them.

Taehyung: So are we try this case also.
She was looking at ,e as I stuff in papers back in the envelope.

Dana: Sort of, we can't take it to court because your mother is involved. However we can help in the investigation process and interview process. You know you are the best male interviewer we have
She smiles and gets up and grabs her keys.

Dana: We can also use the opportunity to go see your friends, today.
I smile and grab her coat and help her into it, and put on mine.

Dana's POV

We pull up to the auction house and notice a two familiar cars. I notice that Tae tensing up. I place a hand on his shoulder.

Dana: Are you OK?
I thought he would prefer to deliver this news himself.

Taehyung: They're here, that's Mrs. Lee's car.
He points at a black town car.

Then he points to a gold town car.

Taehyung: That's mother's.
He said it with such distaste and his frown deepened.

Dana: Well I suggest we hurry since we have the official forms for this location, and I would hate for someone to leave with them.
He grabs my hand and we walk into the main entry way.

Once we get into the entry way, we can hear some people conversing. We walk towards the voices since no one is available to greet us. Once we are outside the door I can hear the auctioneer talking to someone.
