Caught: In a Case by C.M. Steele

involving her prostitutes.

Chapter 12
    I sent off my girl to school and warned them that it would be her last day. Then I gave my parents a call as I was driving in to the office. I wanted to make sure they had not started making wedding plans yet and I am glad that I didn’t give them her full name because the wedding invitations would be done already. I spoke to my father about what was going down. He planned to pull some strings and get some info on possible enemies I had made in my climb to the top. I pissed off a lot of people but I never really stepped on anyone’s toes and the females I dealt with knew the score. This was all leading to the people in Seattle and nothing from home. I know that they knew I was branching out to Seattle as that was in the works for the last year. Thompson handled all the real estate and business information for the branch. We were handling big cases when he made the suggestion to branch out. He had gotten an offer for us to move across country. I have to talk to him about the people he spoke with here. Somebody saw an opportunity to come at me or my guy Caleb.
    I got into the office and met with Caleb to go over the office schedules and dockets. “Hey man, I got a call at my house this morning. I have already asked Duke to look into it for me. It was a woman calling to see if I was interested in taking her and her little sister for a ride on my cock.”
    He was sweating. Caleb was the straightest arrow. A boy scout all the way except for when it came to the ladies but never had he been into paid whores. He dated chicks of the higher classes and it was never more than a few dates, he didn’t want to raise any expectations.
    “This all has to do with that bitch Laney Homan. I am sure of that shit. Did Duke fill you in about my drama?”
    “Yeah he did and this is getting out of control. What are you going to do about your girl? When this shit goes down she is going to be hurt. Her family is lousy as shit.”
    The friends and partners were close. Caleb loved Jackson as a brother and had met the beautiful Elizabeth and he was glad for his buddy. She seemed sweet and unassuming. Now it was more fucked up because his boy’s woman was mixed up in someone’s attempt to fuck with them. Caleb could tell that Elizabeth worshipped Jackson so he knew she wouldn’t be a part of this mess. He wanted a girl like her, loving, beautiful, caring and smart, oh let’s not forget sexy. The future Mrs. James was already in his sights; he just needed to make his move but he had a problem. It wasn’t quite ethical but he always hoped their kids would grow up together, so he would need to get on with it.
    I called in our new attorney who caught Caleb’s eye. She was getting acquainted with the processes here and the staff but some of the other lawyers were giving her a hard time, according to Kristen who spotted it right away. Kristen was engaged to Caleb’s brother Malcolm who was a new lawyer in our firm. Her observations when given were always taken seriously.
    “Sophia, Caleb and I are wondering how things for you are coming along? It’s been only a few days but we not iced that you have been singled out by some of the lawyers since you are our first female lawyer in this office. Are you having any problems?”
    She blushed as she looked up at Caleb then spoke directly to him. “Nothing but guys being guys. They been having their fun seeing which one of them would I take home. I have had some of this flirting back home but I ignored it for the most part.” She tried to brush off the insults and rumors. They were making up something about Caleb and her, but it was true, well he was gorgeous but they weren’t involved.
    “That’s intolerable. You tell me who is bothering you and I will make sure they are so busy for the next year they don’t have time to call their mommas.”
    I hid my grin behind my hand. Caleb was truly pissed about the issue. Sexual harassment was something most lawyers
