Domino Effect, Chapter 1: Lies
“Tina,” Barbara Lynch said softly, calling her to attention.
Tina looked up, her hazel eyes dark, haunting as she met her
lawyer’s gaze.
“Come on back. I
just have a couple more things for you to sign.” Barbara stated, feeling something cold ebbing from Tina.
“Fine,” Tina pasted a grim smile on her lips, stood up and
followed her attorney back to the small conference room that adjoined Barbara’s
office. They sat across from each other
in silence, the lawyer passing the documents across the table, Tina signing and
sliding them back. Finally, the
check. Tina held it between her
fingers. The numbers swam. She folded it, put it in her purse, away
from her sight.
“Tina, if you need anything.” Barbara began and Tina waved off the offer that was coming.
“I’m fine, Barbara,” Tina said stiffly. “Really.”
“All right, then.
I’ll walk you out.” She began to
stand, and Tina shook her head, saying commandingly.
“I know my way,” Tina said.
“Thanks for all your help.”
“I’m not sure how helpful I was,” Barbara sighed. She felt Tina had settled too quickly, with
no consideration for pursuing punitive damages for pain and suffering. But between her first visit and the second,
Tina had gone from tentative to adamant.
She wanted this done as quickly as possible, no dickering, no
negotiating. She was through
negotiating any aspect of her life with Bette Porter. As her lawyer, Barbara had no choice but to follow her
instructions.
“You did fine, Barb,” Tina smiled, weariness tugging at the
corners of her eyes. “Oscar sends his
regards.”
“Give him a hug for me,” Barbara smiled back.
“I will.” Tina’s face straightened. “I need to go. I’ve got
things to do.”
Barbara nodded and watched Tina turn and walk away,
shoulders rigid, spine straight. The
walk of a devastated woman trying to hide it from the world; yet something else
was there, a new awareness of her self.
She shook her head sadly and watched her leave.
As Tina walked to the elevator, the lights above the door
flickered, making the hallway seem darker than usual. She turned around, looking up and down the hallway, rubbing her
bare arms as she felt a shiver rushing up her spine. The air was filled with an electrical charge and then suddenly
the bulbs all began to explode in succession; Tina yelled and jumped into the
opening of the elevator.
