A Flower For My Grandparents

A Roar From Silence

Ana
I still haven't gotten my voice back when they discharged me from the hospital. All things considered they believe that my voice will come back soon. At this point my ability to write fast is getting better. I type as well. I had Archie Rogers come in regards to Hyde and what we need to do about him. His life insurance and other things have to be taken care of. Sawyer has been working with Reynolds on getting things done on Hyde's things so far they have found quite a bit of things. They want to confirm everything before telling me what they discovered.

Archie
I am looking into just what Ana should do in regards to Hyde and his estate. I just have to figure out a few things. Ana looked at me and wrote just what do you have to figure out? She eyes me like something is wrong. I know what happened to her, because I was called in to the er. She doesn't know that yet. I am not her medical power of attorney, Sawyer is. Her grandparents made this change just before they were killed. Their wills were changed as well and not by me, but Carrick Grey. She was never advised of this change. Which is why I only meet her out of the office and have given her my private cell number. If she called my office directly Grey would be aware of it and have a word with me. I bill from my home computer I have tried to gain more trust in Ana. The major trusts are under Greys secure files and so far I can't get access to them. Ana believed I was her family's attorney and didn't question it at the funeral. She took over all the accounts and hasn't caught on to the fact I am not on any real legal documents yet. It hasn't been a year yet, she will be getting another of her trust funds. Grey was on vacation when everything hit the news about the Steele's. So I have been slowly getting money out of her trusts that keeps her household accounts going. I found out about a Hyde and his dealings and ramblings about being an heir to the Steele's fortune. Ana had never been to Grey and associates or had never known who her family attorney was to begin with. Most college aged kids don't know, so it was simple to introduce myself as the attorney of record. Ray Steele had caught onto my scam and had to be removed and what better person to do it than his security who thought he was his father. It was easy to talk Hyde into it each time. This time he failed killing the last Steele. I bought an insurance policy on each of the Steele's claiming I was a relative. The agent was lax in his documentation and I received a nice sum each time. I filed a suit against the trucking company in both cases and won. I just didn't give the settlement to the family. Ana has hired a forensic accountant and I will be found out soon. Anas grandparents were still trying to tie together how the driver survived and just disappeared from the scene after Anas parents were killed by the semi. They had figured out how and were headed to the police station to file a report. I had them killed the by a burglar. The proof was taken from the trunk of the car and brought to me to examine. Hyde had no idea it proved he was involved. He was too lazy to read the files.

I am starting to doubt my attorneys abilities. I had Sawyer call Carrick Grey directly for me. He had to call me back due to being on a huge case right now. So I started going through all the accounts and a lot seemed off so I stopped all my attorneys abilities to do anything on my behalf. I went to rescind power of attorneys and everything else. I found a huge issue. The names were different on the documents for attorney of record. How odd, I think this needs to be discussed by me and Carrick Grey. I believe I have been hoodwinked. I alert Sawyer to this and he tells me not to sign another document brought by Archie Rogers. I agree with him. I am trying to get my voice back. Doctors say that I can use broth and soothing teas to get it back. They think it is due to how close I came to dying. Otherwise it should heal soon. Brandi has been helping me by giving me soft meals and nice soups she made herself. Brandi told me she is glad Hyde is gone, because he gave her the creeps. Always lurking around. He tried to get her to purchase things with the household funds and she refused. I am finding out more about his actions even from Reynolds. I had Sawyer get the staff together and informed them that if anyone asked for more than they should to alert me and Sawyer. Brandi asked to see me later.

Carrick Grey
I pull the Steele's files and find something very odd. I go through all the documents and find a few problems with accounts and documents. I call and get Sawyer on the phone after asking for Ana Steele. I was not apprised of her grandparents deaths. So something is very wrong.

Sawyer
Mr Grey I don't know if you are aware but Ana can't talk after almost dying from being poisoned. I believe you need to come out and talk with her as soon as you can we think you and your firm have a bad seed who has done a few things you need to know about. He agrees to come the next day. I inform Ana after she wakes up. She is still suffering a bit from the coma. She is trying to talk but she sounds like a mouse squeaking.
