The guy turned on his heel and went down the stairs. I just stood there for a couple of seconds and then closed the door.
"Did he say you were served!?"
"He did."
I opened the envelope and started to read the case. I was being sued by a Jonathan Price, for loss of wages,and inconvienence.
"Looks like this guy lost out on a job because of the whole grades thing. I'm faxing this one to the lawyers right now. I know they're not there but it will be one of the first things they see Monday morning."
"You don't think anything will actually come of it do you lover?"
"Hell if I know Karl, but that's what lawyers are for. I just hope this isn't the first of many."
"Shit this could concieveably wipe you out if even one goes through."
Which is why I'm hoping that this first one falls through."
I went to my computer and quickly typed a cover letter and then faxed the whole thing off to the lawyers.
"I expect I'll be hearing from them before the weekend is over."
"Maybe Den, but I'm betting it's going to be Monday afternoon."
"Always possible I suppose."
We got the few things we picked up stored away, and crashed in front of the tv until we crashed for the night.
Saturday and it was back to the routine, after which Karl headed home and I headed for the rec center. Two weeks from today would be the next meet. I went in and got changed and out to the apparatus room and stretched out. Of course I wasn't the only one around. Josh was back and off of his crutches.
"Welcome back Josh. Take it easy today."
"Yeah I know Dennis. Like I said before not my first sprained ankle."
I worked my floor routine first. It was an open practice so no triples today. Then I was on to the rings and eventually, a few hours later, I called it a day. Josh was still at it but was being shadowed by Greg as his spotter.
Into the pool for a few laps and then the whirlpool for a bit. Today I had it all to myself. Then it was back to the apartment.
"Good workout lover?"
"Yeah it was. Josh was back at it today. I think he'll be ready for the meet."
"If he isn't there's always the next one. Who is the next one?"
"Anderson Poly, not one I'm looking forward to after last year."
"Hey we both know Larry didn't have a shit load of friends in high school. What makes you think college was any different? Hell he didn't even talk to Micah and they were on the same campus and sure as hell must have had some classes together as they were both into computers."
"All it takes is one love. Hell I'm surprised I didn't have to take more heat from Scott than I did."
"Yeah well Scott has always been pretty much all talk and no action."
"For which I am very glad. We got anything going on today?"
"Nothing planned. You want to get away?"
"I would love to get away. Go hit the state park and take the overnight again?"
"Sounds like a plan to me."
The decision was no sooner made than we changed into some rough clothes and our hiking boots, and we were on the road. We grabbed a drive thru lunch and about an hour later pulled into the state park and made our way to the stables.
"Sorry gents but the over night is booked solid for a change."
"Then I guess we'll just have to settle for the 2 hour."
"Next one leaves in about 20 minutes."
So we waited and were soon saddled up and ready to head out. The 2 hour ride took pretty much the same route as the overnight but never turned into the hills.
The ride was relaxing and did take in some beautiful scenery. The ride, like all good things, came to an end. It was back into the car and headed back to the apartment. The road home took us past Rons so it was an early supper.
Once back to the apartment I went and checked the email and there was one there from Mr Jacobs.
Dennis,you did right getting this to me soonest. This one could very well have teeth. Need a copy of of the press release and any other doucuments the college will release,preferrably notorized.
Also,District Attorney has no plans to call you during the Brown trial. Will call if things change.
Jacobs
Karl could clearly see the look on my face.
"What now?"
"Mr Jacobs thinks this one, and I quote,"has teeth". Which I take to mean I could well end up paying through my teeth."
"I know this is useless advice lover, but try not to think about it."
"Yeah like that is going to happen."
"Hey you got the lawyers into it. Like you keep telling everybody, it's what they get paid for."
"Yeah it is but it comes out of my pocket in the end if this goes against me. Worse one guy is successful and there are probably a hundred others standing in line. You said yourself, I could end up pennyless."
"Yeah you could lover, but they can't touch me, I don't think. It all happened before we were married so it's only you they can go after. We can still make it together."
"Yeah we could I suppose and I'd still be able to work even if the company should get pulled into the settlement. Shit, should I drop Stan Bellows and email so he can save as much as he can?"
"Not anywhere near that point Den. Let Jacobs do his job and then see what he has to say about it. It may end up being a non starter."
"Well somebody sure as hell seems to think it is going to payoff. I suppose that could well be a hack lawyer who is in it just for the fee."
"Always a possiblity Den. Now you ready for classes Monday?"
"Yeah I'm more than caught up."
"I've got about an hours worth of reading to take care of then I can crash."
Which is what he did and then we crashed for a couple of hours in front of the tube and then it was off to bed.
Sunday morning and it was the usual 5:30 roust and off to jogging. That taken care of it was "housework" for pretty much the rest of the day. It made me appreciate Mrs Ohanlon when we were home.
Earlier than usual I heard Paul and Cameron pull into the driveway.
"No where near time for supper. I hope to hell this isn't trouble Karl."
"No way to know Den and I'm sure as hell not going down to find out. I'm sure we'll hear about it one way or another."
"More than likely. So the next question is do we go down at the regular time or wait until they come get us?"
"I'm thinking wait until they come get us this week."
It was almost an hour later that there was a knock on our door. I opened it.
"Hey Paul. Dinner time already?"
"Yeah it is, so get your butts in gear."
We were down the stairs and in to the dinner table. Needless to say dinner waas served and was as good as always. It was again a quiet meal and Karl and I certainly weren't going to push to find out what was going on.
Soon enough Karl and I had helped clear the table and were back upstairs.
"Think we'll ever find out what's going on Den?"
"Eventually we will I'm sure. In the meantime we might just as well forget it."
"Yeah right up until Paul and Cam start acting weird."
It was that rare evening when both of us were totally caught up with all of our school work. So it was another few hours in front of the tv and then we called it a night.
Monday morning it was the usual routine. Neither Paul or Cameron had anything to say other than good morning today and it was a quiet 5 laps around the quad. Once done it was back to the apartment and when showered and fed back to campus.
Investment Vehicles and the tax class went pretty smoothly today and while I had the time I headed over to the Deans office.
"Good after noon Mrs Humboldt. Does Dean Evans have anytime later on today sometime after 4?"
"He has a window at 4:30 Mr Sawyer."
"Could you pencil me in for then please?"
"Certainly. Care to tell what about?"
"I'm being sued over the grades situation and have need of whatever documentation can be provided."
"I'll see that he is informed."
"Thank you. I'll be back later on."
I grabbed a sandwich from the student union and then headed on over to Risk/Rewards. I had a bit of trouble staying focused for the class, and when it was over I headed back to the Deans office.
"It will be just a few minutes Mr Sawyer."
"Thank you Mrs Humboldt."
Needless to say I sat there quietly until the inner office door opened.
"Mr Sawyer do come in. It will be just a moment until Mr Burroughs,the colleges legal counsel, joins us. So, how do we look for the meet in 2 weeks?"
"I think we're in great shape sir. Only one of the guys is recovering from an injury,but it was minor and he is already back to practice."
"Very good."
At which point phone buzzed and the Dean picked it up.
"Show him in please."
The door opened and Mrs Humboldt showed a gentelman into the room.
"Mr Sawyer, Mr Burroughs."
I stood and shook the mans hand.
"Now them Mr Sawyer, lay it out for us."
I took my time and spelled out just what the suit was about and just who was bringing it. The dean then looked to Mr Burroughs and nodded.
"Well Mr Sawyer, I can't say as I'm surprised as Mr Price is also suing the college. In fact I anticipated this."
He reached into his briefcase and extracted a rather thick manila envelope.
"I think this shall rather satisfy your lawyers young man. Please have your lawyers keep us informed of the progress of the case as we shall keep them informed of ours."
I took the envelope and saw that it was already addressed to my lawyers.
"Thank you sir and I shall."
