    on Sinclair company time. For you to take the business outside this company would violate state business statutes.” Evan laughed. “You know, Mr. Trinket, my attorney suggested that you would have just that attitude. He told me that your solution to everything is a law suit. He said that your one skill was billing as many hours to your client as possible and seldom solving a problem. I think the term that he used to describe you was ‘hack lawyer’ and he appears to be on target.” “Burt has quite a reputation,” Sinclair insisted. “That’s exactly what my lawyer said,” Evan offered. “But the reputation isn’t a good one.” “Who is this lawyer of yours?” Trinket demanded. Again Evan held his hand out to Laura. She placed a business card in his hand. Evan glanced down at it before tossing it across the table as if he was dealing cards at the poker table. He saw Trinket’s eyes widen when he read the card. “Your lawyer is Lanny Larkin?” he asked in a stunned voice. “Yes sir, Mr. Larkin would be my attorney and the man that drew up that contract you said was worthless,” Evan said with a sneer. “You see, I did not win the Braxton business while on Sinclair company time. I met Mr. Ford, Braxton’s CEO, on the golf course. We played in a charity event together. He invited me to join him at his club where he introduced me to his personal attorney, Mr. Larkin.

Is that the correct term?” “Why would an attorney of Larkin’s stature take you pro bono?” Trinket asked. “You know,” Evan said, “I asked the same question. He said that he had held a long grudge against you because you are such a hack. It also seems that he had a run-in with Richard once and doesn’t have much use for him either. And then, he is a close friend of Malcom Ford and wanted to help him.” Evan smiled at Laura as she handed him a piece of paper. “This is my vacation schedule,” Evan continued. “If you check it you’ll find that on the three occasions that I went into the Braxton offices, I was on personal vacation time and not on Sinclair work time. You might also be interested to know that I did it that way at Mr. Larkin’s suggestion.” Trinket wasn’t ready to give up. He didn’t like the idea of being belittled in front of his client, Richard Sinclair. “You no doubt used Sinclair company equipment to prepare information and presentations for Braxton.” “You could try to prove that, Mr. Trinket, but I assure you it would be a waste of time,” Evan said as he continued to grind the lawyer down. “You see, your client, Mr. Sinclair, is exceptionally cheap and he supplies his employees with cheap ...
