Side Effects Chapter 13 – HELLO…, … … WHO IS IT?

Lara Perkins: “nice to meet you, sir”
Fairbanks was thinking of something else at that moment he almost didn’t answer.
Howard Fairbanks: “do all you can for my daughter, money is not an issue”
And Finally, Howard left driving his car toward the Kennard building in Manhattan.
Manhattan, NY, Friday, 3:30 pm
Kennard’s Building
Don Kennard was in his office reading a file with all the charges the IRS and FBI have pended over his head, he has already drunk three whiskeys on the rocks and four tranquilizer pills, he was scared and confused, how can all these things happened to him. During the past week after he left jail, the police has been in his office every day, in support of the functionaries of the IRS who were doing audits of all his accounts and business; the situation complicated more when a van with FBI agents enter to the building to question him and to confiscate some computers, again, he was taken to the FBI headquarters to testify as suspect of federal and international crimes. Don was tired and scared to see so many law enforcement officers in his part of the building and already his father and brother have given him an ultimatum to rid of the police or to move his business to a smaller building his family poses in the Bronx, and of course Don wasn’t happy with moving to that neighborhood. But today the police didn’t come, some official, just left a folder with court documents for him; and this morning, he had already a meeting with his lawyer and three other attorneys to study a way out of this situation and of all the 38 charges of which the authorities accuse him, those go from making fraudulent or false claims in his taxes to drugs trafficking and prostitution, most of those accusations are accompanied by proofs and witnesses.
The lawyers have recommended him to confess guilty of some taxes felonies but, to claim his innocence on the trafficking, prostitution and smuggling charges, he was already warned that he may stay some years in jail and Donovan has already called his powerful friends for help, among them Judge Young and Mr. Wentworth have offered their help, but some others, as Howard Fairbanks haven’t answer and Don is still waiting; at that moment his secretary Charlie knocked on the door.

Hi! Thanks for the new chapter!
And who is the “str”? Sister? I guess we need wait to see
Waiting for the next!
Hi Zhenya:
Well as Tina will say in the next chapter, ‘I don’t think str is for Streep because Bette doesn’t know Meryl Streep in person’; but you are in the right way.
Thanks for reading. See you next week.

You so know how I feel about cliffhangers!!!!:-)
Great update, dreadful cliffhanger, so please post again soon:-)
‘A little drama’ a big understatement!
PPS – love the story

Hi SG:
I’m sorry for the cliffhanger, but this is nothing in comparison to the cliffhanger of the next chapter; It’s not that I want to torment the readers…, is that this is the best way to cut a chapter and start fresh the next one, at least for me.
And yes, I intend to post soon, (at least that is my intention now).
Well, I didn’t want to alarm about the drama, but you’re right, more than one big drama is coming soon.
Thanks for reading and commenting.

Str? I also think it stands for sister, for Louise!
Some drama is about to start? I think it will be a drama in a big way.
Tina isn’t stupid and will be very pissed of that Bette, her mother and now Jane kept her in the dark. They are doing it to protect her, but man she will be so pissed!!!
So happy to read this story!!!
Thank you proteonomics for coming back to finish the story!
Hi Bibi:
Yes, you have no idea how Tina is going to react as soon as she finds out about her sister.
But take this into account, Louise knows her sister from a long time ago, she understands how Tina reacts; Tina isn’t able to measure her response when it is about her loved ones, she submitted to Don’s condition of working in Imhotep because she feared Don was going to hurt Bette, her family, and her own mother (that you will realize soon).
Yes, more than one drama is in the way.
Yes, as Zhenya, you are in the right way about str.
Thanks for reading and commenting my friend.

Proteonomics:
First of all, I really don’t like Louise hiding away from Tina. I knew that she’s trying to protect her sister and she didn’t mean to threaten Bette and Tina’s relationship, but it’s just too risky. At this moment they should stick together instead of creating any drama. I hope that Tina won’t get mad about Bette is hiding something from her, cause if my partner (wife, actually.) do something or hiding something such important things to me I will be furious. But in those circumstances, I really can’t be sure what will I do if I’m the one who is going to protect Tina. I can understand her decision not to let her sister involve in whatever she’s going to do, Tina has suffered enough, I believe let her sister know nothing is the best way to reduce the risk and keep her away from the danger. I am hoping that Louise is smart enough to know what’s she’s doing. Jane did say she won’t hesitate to arrest her.
As for Tasha’s dilemma, this happened in every place instead of just this situation. Sometimes taking care of a very close friend who happened to break up with his or her girlfriend. The caring, the secret sharing, the intimate contact somehow really did make people fall into it unconsciously. It’s an unexplainable feeling. You don’t even know whether he or she likes you or not, or do they really let go of their ex? It’s a tricky question that no one can explain and certainly, no one can help. You just stuck in these feelings and unable to get out.
I myself love the cliff hanger because this means there will be a new chapter I’m going to look forward to. Can’t wait for more, and please, click the publish button more often. This long waiting is killing me, but thanks for bringing back the story. Always good to reread it, some stories are worth to read again!
Great Chapter! And welcome back again! Always your biggest fan!

Hi CJ:
Yes, I don’t like either when people hide things, especially people that you love, but some times there is no other choice if you are afraid for the life of the loved ones.
Well I’m going to emphasize what Louise told to Jane, Louise believes she is going to die fighting her uncle because she knows the obsession of Don Kennard for her is sick and criminal, she wouldn’t allow being touched by him, and she will die before that happen; but she doesn’t want to ruin Tina’s life, she doesn’t want Tina close to her when the moment Louise face Don arrives; because, Tina will risk her life for hers. Louise knows Tina has suffered a lot, she wants to be remembered by her sister for the good moments they lived when children and not for the horror of being raped by her own uncle. And Louise is risking everything she has to take Don down,
Tasha situation is another drama and as you said, sometimes is unavoidable to fell in love when you are close to someone who you are consoling and taking care, and sometimes (perhaps most of the times) is hard to set the boundaries; sometimes require to be a very experimented person to do that, but in this case, the situation will produce a very hard outcome in the next two chapters (I won’t say another word about it)
CJ, I can’t click the publish button more than one time per week, but I’ll try to do it every week in the future.
And I’m your biggest fan too, waiting for your weekend chapter
Thanks for reading and commenting.
