going on here. Either there was something wrong with the warrants they got or they didn’t have any to begin with. Either way, all their evidence is dismissible. Call the D.A.’s office again and ask them to send you a copy of the warrants. If you don’t get them in thirty minutes, let me know and whenever they do arrive, go over there and ask to see the originals. I’m going to need full color, high definition pictures of those warrants.”
    “Okay, Aurora. Will do.”
    “Thanks Rebecca, Talk to you soon.”
    Aurora lay back against the pillows and smiled up at the ceiling. She couldn’t believe her luck. There was obviously something the D.A. was trying to hide and if that threw out their precious evidence, then the case could be easily overturned. Alan had nothing much to worry about now, and neither did she.

    Aurora delivered the good news over dinner with Mr. Guyton and his sons that night. The old man was extremely pleased that the plan she had devised and explained to them in their meeting that evening had borne fruit.
    “So when will you know for sure?” Alan asked nervously.
    “You’re so preoccupied with saving your damn ass right now, aren’t you little brother?” Adrian said sarcastically. “It might be helpful to all of us if you would act a bit more responsibly, both professionally and privately.”
    “Stand down, Adrian,” his father commanded. “We all know what an annoying prick your brother can be. Don’t go turning into one yourself.”
    Adrian scoffed. He hated being the brunt of his father’s poor humor. Instead of responding he turned his attention back to Aurora.
    “I’m sorry the weekend started out for you like this. As you get to work with us boys more closely, you’ll get used to Alan being a bit of a pain in the ass.” She smiled at the quip and he continued. “So, when will we know for sure that the case will be thrown out?”
    “Well, unfortunately, Alan will first have to turn himself in to the police. He’s technically a fugitive and under that surmise, we’re all breaking the law. I’d suggest that he do it here in Hamilton. Bermuda law enforcement is bound to be more lenient and should be easily satisfied with him handing over his passport. We’ll post bail and then wait for the charges to be dropped.”
    “Excellent,” Andrew concluded, raising his glass. “When we get back to Alpharetta, I think I’m going to explore getting you more involved in the legal aspect of the business. You’ll make a damn fine lawyer someday, Precious.”
    “She’s damn fine, alright!” Alan commented, staring Aurora in the eye, then winking before he looked away.
    She blushed and turned away just in time to catch Adrian’s look of total exasperation. She rolled her eyes and continued to immerse herself in the fabulous meal that was on the table.

    It could be that I drank too much wine , Aurora thought to herself when she stumbled the second time as they left the restaurant. It was late and even the media had given up on a chance to ambush them after dinner. A few photographers attempted shots, but bulky security guards kept well placed between them and the departing group. Alan had his arm around her waist the minute they had stepped through the restaurant door and Aurora knew what that meant. He was in the mood to celebrate and that always meant trouble.
    Mr. Guyton invited her back to the estate for a nightcap before one of the driver’s would take her back to her hotel.
    “I’m really thankful that you took care of everything so well, Precious. I hope you’re getting to understand how much confidence I have in you.” Before she could reply, the old man continued speaking. “Alan and I have reviewed this situation with Xaoping and Tsang Wei and I think he’s right about what could happen. We’ll probably meet on it when we get back to Alpharetta. If we don’t move, we stand to be eliminated from the game over there.”
    “Yes,
