Chapter 36

 

Marcia used a public telephone to make the call, not because she was hiding anything, but because she was unsure of the security of her cell phone. It took several minutes before she got through to attorneyRobert Sewell.

“Have you caught up with him yet?”

“Not yet. Hampton has several layers of protection around him at all times and he moves about quite a bit. It’s almost as if he knows we’re after him.”

“He has a lot of informants. This isn’t the first time he’s been targeted. Keep at it until you nail him. I want this matter closed soon. I’m anxious to leave this town and I don’t want to go as long as this issue is still open. Have you tried to catch up with him at the Barbiere club? He likes to stop there for cocktails sometimes and to ogle at the dancers.”

“No, it wasn’t on the list. We’ll give that a try. Don’t worry Ms. Bloom. He can’t evade us forever. Don’t worry; you’ll have your day in court, yet”

“I hope so. All my funds are tied up. He owes me eighty thousand dollars in back salary, fifty thousand for a bonus I earned and access to my retirement fund. I want him nailed for harassing me as well.”

“It would be lot simpler if you would allow us to go after Hampton Industries rather than Adam Hampton III. I could get that suit filed as early as tomorrow morning.”

“No, Bob, I want the suit to be against Adam. I want him to pay personally for what he’s done to me and I want punitive damages. I can’t allow him to hide behind a corporate structure. I’ve been through too much to let him off the hook that easily. He’s personally responsible and he’s going to pay, big-time! I’m looking for justice, here.” If you can’t locate him by the end of the day, then serve his personal attorney, Matthew Scheiber. He can accept a summons on Adam’s behalf if necessary.”

“Okay, we’ll keep trying to serve him. I’ll put a few more people on it. Maybe I need to employ a femme fatale to get him to drop his guard.”

“Make sure she’s stacked. If there is one thing I know about Adam, he’s a sucker for a nice shape and a big pair of boobs.

“Then, I think I know just the right person for that. I’ll let you know how it works out.”
