Areson :

I was going home, walking through the dark roads of my neighbourhood. I have to deal with the mafia and I totally have to do it right. I finally went home and thought 'I really have to meet Sebastian's lawyer, maybe I could do something'.

The other day...

Areson :

"Okay guys what do we have here, what did you learn about Sebastian Perez and his gang?" I said, hoping to get good news.

"Well Ares... Listen, we've got proof that he's killed innocent people. We also found out that he's been exporting illegal substances and we have some papers to prove it. But listen Ares... We've done things too. We don't need them to find out what we've been dealing with as they could use it against us in the court." Avery quietly announced, but his anxiety was obvious among the others.

"Alright Avery so far so good" I said.

"You're playing with fire Ares... Just be careful, that's all we ask for" Tristan said.

"Areson listen. You've got to meet his lawyer, mate. I found out his lawyer is  Kasity Damassiel. You have no idea who you're dealing with, I think you've never heard of her, but she's the best. I'm really anxious about all this you know she can get us all to jail. You have to meet her Areson, maybe you two will talk and maybe she will find out that Perez is the leader of mafia." Nathaniel announced while encouraging me to meet the lawyer.

'Well I'll have to give it a try' I thought.

Somewhere in Kasity's office...

She entered her office furiously as she found out that her colleagues didn't finish the papers she needed.

"I gave you one job. I want those papers ready in two hours or I'll fire you all for ruining my case" she said angrily and headed for her private office.

Kasity :

I walk in my office, obviously tired from all that mess with my papers. I need to win this case, there's no room for mistakes.

I hear a knock on the door.

"Mr. Damassiel you've got a call from somebody named Mr. Areson Kingstone." My secretary announced.

Areson Kingstone. What does he want? Does he want to corrupt me or what? Meeting the opponent of your client is not right. Illegal I'd say. But first, let's listen what he wants...

"Okay, pass his call to my line, thank you" I finally respond, take the phone in my hands and lightly press it on my ear.

"Hello" a low raspy voice said.
"Hello. I am talking to Mr. Kingstone, right?" I coldly respond.

"Yes. I'm Areson Kingstone speaking. And you should definitely be Ms. Damassiel" he continues, his voice heavy.

"Yes. May I ask for the purpose of the call from my opponent?" I kindly and almost ironically ask.

"Oh I see... Ms. Damassiel, I have no intentions on corrupting you as you may have supposed, but in fact I'd like to invite you for dinner. You know, they say you're a tough lawyer, a successful one, determined and ambitious. I'd like to find out how true that is, Ms. Damassiel. Of course, only if you agree" he finishes his word. His talking was so smooth, his voice raspy, heavy but nice as well. I'd say he convinced me.

"I see... Well, I'd like to get to know you too, Mr. Kingstone." I answer.

"Great, at the Suarez mansion, tomorrow 9.00 pm" he shortly says and hangs up.

Well this man's weird as a mystery.
A mystery I'll solve soon.
