Your comments are always welcome, but do remember this is just a story. Real people don't act this way.

*

I'm Tony Edwards, a Sergeant first-class in the marine's reserves. I'm one of the main certified drivers for the tanks. This spring we had to go on duty for three months. We were going to receive six new tanks and have training on firing them with the latest new night vision equipment installed, plus with the new radar system.

We were scheduled to be away for the three months and this would be the longest time Gail and I had ever been away from each other. She has to work out of town about six times a year. She is a paralegal for a well-known law firm here in Atlanta. It is one of the top five firms here. She has had business training in college and also had paralegal training and passed the tests. She makes good money, in the hundred thousand bracket for the last four years with her pay and firm bonuses. 

I work in a factory. I'm a mill operator and make about forty thousand a year. I work hard for my money and I like my job, but really hate to have to do it the rest of my life till I retire. Maybe I'm lazy, but standing on my feet for eight hours just gets to me and then I do a little drinking when I get home. I wear work clothes provided by the factory, where Gail is dressed to the hilt all the time for her job. 

We have three girls since we've been married. Everyone gets on my case to produce a boy, but Gail doesn't want anymore and I wouldn't get a vasectomy. She has been after me to get one but I still wanted to have a boy and raise him to be a star in some sport, just like all fathers would. She tried the pills but they played shit on her system. So she stays off them and we use condoms all the time. The girls are 11, 8, and 5. She has missed some time with the firm, but not much because she goes back to work as soon as she can after the babies.

I took off work for six months under the new family plan the company offered and then her mother or my mother watches the kids. Yes, I guess I'm a mister mom in a way, but she makes the real good money so we can afford to lose my pay for that time. We have a nice house and plenty of money set aside and some good investments in stocks. We both have new vehicles to drive, and we both get anything we want in the way of luxury.

I used to play softball with a Detective Lance Jackson. He is a good friend of mine and was in the reserves with me. Since he got promoted at work, he had to drop out of the reserves because he was busy on his regular job and could not make the meetings. I hurt my knee playing ball with him and the doctor told me if I wanted to get it replaced, just to keep playing ball, so I quit playing and just go and watch now while I keep score for them. I have a lot of fun with the guys and get a little buzz on when I go out with them.

I enjoy the Internet and watch the women on a few of the cam sites. I also like to read the stories. I even wrote a few of my own but never sent them in. Last year my wife was going out of town a lot with a young lawyer new to the firm, well he has been with them five years. Most of the lawyers are in there 50's or 60's, but this guy is 30. About ten years younger than us. After reading a few stories on the web where a guy would drug the woman and fuck her silly or she would just be a horny bitch and fuck his brains out, I got worried.

For about a month she kept telling me how great this new lawyer guy was. Finally I blew up and said, "I wish I could stick him right up your ass. You're always talking and raving about this jerk." I shouldn't have said that, if only because I really didn't mean it. Let me tell you, there was a sexual dry spell for about a month. But then we worked it out and things settled down. But like they say, time heals all wounds and things got better as the years went by.

Well, she started to come around and be hornier than hell. She would now swallow cum and let me fuck her in the ass, and she was doing it all. I got suspicious of her and had a talk with Lance about her. 

Lance just told me, "She's closing in on forty and is getting scared because no one flirts with her anymore. You said she plays on the net with a mask on so no one will recognize you two. Well that probably is getting her horny too. I wouldn't worry about it. Her law firm would shitcan both of them in a second if they fooled around in any way, and Gail is not that stupid. And the lawyer is up and coming, so he wouldn't fool with someone in his own firm. But give me the hotel they stayed at, and I'll check with room service and the bellboys and the bartenders. I've got to go there to check on a prisoner anyway."

I don't think she is screwing him in town; it would have to be on the road. She is home all the time just about, except when she goes out with the girls about 8 times a year. He got promoted two years ago and now he has a big office with a couch and big chairs and a bar in it. She also has her own office and handles all his work now. They rented six more offices to expand their service and Gail said it was mainly due to him. He is moving right up the ladder. I guess his uncle is a congressman, so that helps to move him up and get business for the law firm.

Lance came back three days later and gave me a negative report about the two of them. I used it in my story anyway, so the time didn't go to waste. I just made it so they got caught in the room as I hid in the closet, filming them going at it. Love them stories. Maybe someday I will actually send some of mine in to the story site.

It was the last of March and I would be going for my three months of training. Gail was out of town on business and I was home with the girls waiting for her. When she came in the door, I took her suitcase from her and took it into the bedroom while she spent time with the kids. I opened it up and gave a good examination to all her stuff, looking for some type of cum stain. But I didn't find shit. I did find a sexy nightie in her suitcase and wondered why the hell she would take one with her. Her old night sweatshirt was there that she wore to bed at home.

She came in saying, "What are you checking my stuff for?"

Laughing I said, "To see if you cheated on me."

She said, "Well, did I?"

"No, but why did you take a nightie with you."

"Oh I get so fed up on the road. All I do work in the room at night and sit in my old sweatshirt watching dumb TV shows drinking two-dollar bottles of water. I like to dress up like you are with me and I pull out my toy and make love to it thinking it is you."

We screwed like hell that weekend and she was wild. The next Monday, the Guard Company went out of town for our three months of training. I called her just about every night on the home phone. If I didn't get an answer, which was rare, I would call her cell phone. A few times I had to call the cell phone, but with having so much to say and not being with her, it threw me off and I never asked her about it. 

I found out that my captain in the reserve was having a vasectomy from a military doctor, so I decided to get one and surprise her with it. I figured the 'having kids' days were over for me at this point in my life, so I set the date and had it done. Just to be contrary, I didn't tell her nothing about it. Well, with both of us pushing forty, we had our shares of kids, so let someone else have them now. She always said she was stressed out because she might get pregnant and worried a lot about it.

They let us go back home two weeks early as they said we did a good job, and finished all the training we needed. I called Gail and told her I would be coming in on Saturday at two PM and gave her the flight I would be on. She didn't seem too happy about it, and said we had to go to a party put on by her company that night. I said I wanted to stay home and catch up on the sex that I missed. She said there was plenty of time for that. I wasn't a happy camper, either, but what the hell are you going to do? I figured I could talk her out of it once I had her in my arms and my cock poking at her pussy.

The flight got in on time and she met me with the three girls, and the whole company came off the flight. We all hugged and kissed our wives and girlfriends and the kids. We went out to eat, as she didn't have anything to eat since breakfast with the kids. We talked about the party and she said Jeff has been doing such a good job the bonus for this year would be the best she ever had. She said she had gotten another five-dollar raise and it took her up to almost fifty an hour now. 

She also said she would get one thousand dollars each time she had to go out of town on business plus her regular salary. She would get that much even if she went for just one day. Then she told me a firm that rented space on their floor had moved out and Jeff was getting a bigger office and more modern furniture. It was finished and she wanted me to see it. 

All she did was talk about Jeff and how the world revolved around him. She was starting all this shit again. She didn't know I was pissed with what I was hearing; I guess it went right over her head. Well, we took the kids to my mother's house for an overnight stay, and then we went home to get ready for the party. We didn't have time for sex; she made that very plain to me. And it pissed me off big time.

The party was at a hotel and it was a great meal. I was starting to come around and be pleasant, but she never knew I was mad anyway. We sat at the same table as Jeff and his wife Alice. The head of the firm, Andy Hewlett and his wife Doris were also with us. From what I heard, I think Andy thought that Jeff could walk on water too. I was about ready to get a tank from the armory and put a few rounds into their office.

When I danced with Alice, she made a comment that she might get her husband back now that I was in town. She said while I was out of town, they worked a lot of overtime on different projects. They never did that when I was in town. In fact, it was very seldom that she worked overtime unless it was on the road where it had to get finished by a deadline. As the night went on, I danced with Alice more than I did with my own wife. Jeff had her on the floor or in a group meeting talking about work.

When we got home she claimed to be too tired for sex because she worked so hard, and was stressed out with me coming home and the company party. She talked about all the wheels that worked in the office and things going on with the company till she fell asleep. I never did get sex till Monday and I was pissed, so I never told her that I had a vasectomy. And the way I felt, I would never tell her. Let her worry about getting knocked up. 

As the summer drifted by, we were busy with the kids all the time. We had a nice boat and spent a lot of time on it. The girls all loved to go swimming and I like to relax fishing. Gail would always lie in the sun getting a good tan on her perfect body. Towards the end of the summer, our sex life picked up as she was again in that wild sex mood of hers. We would rent a lot of xxx videos. She loved them and got so hot watching them. It was a wonder we didn't wake the kids the way she would get into it. She loved the gang bangs and the threesomes in the videos.

Well, summer ended and the girls went back to school. I was back at the factory, putting in my forty hours. Working every week, wishing I could hit the lottery and buy my milling machine and use it for an anchor on my boat. All was well with the world. Gail was making more money than before, and our stock portfolio was at an all time high.

That Wednesday when I came out of work, Lance was there. He said, "Got time to go down to the boat and talk?" 

"Sure, let me call Gail and tell her I will be home later."

"Ok, but don't mention my name."

I looked at Lance kind of funny, wondering why he didn't want me to say I was with him, and said, "Ok."

I called Gail and told her a guy wanted to look at my boat. We were planning on getting a bigger boat anyway. We picked up a twelve pack and some sandwiches to eat on the boat while we bullshited about different things.

Then Lance sprung it on me. "You know Jerome the lawyer, don't you?"

"The alcoholic lawyer? Gets fired and stops drinking for a few years and then starts drinking again? Yeah, I know him."

"Well he is sober right now, and has been for a couple of years. He was telling me that at Andy Hewlett's firm, a lawyer is fooling around with a paralegal and he has been banging her for almost a year, maybe more."

"You don't think its Gail he's banging, do you?"

"Well, that's not the bad part of the story. Jerome said he heard the guy say she is pregnant and he thinks he is the father, but her slob of a husband will take credit for it, as he wants a boy. They have three girls."

I threw up. I didn't have anything in my stomach except a half of a can of beer and part of a sandwich, but I threw up for twenty minutes. I was sitting in a deck chair and I had to lie on the floor, I was so sick.

"The guy was talking to three guys counting Jerome. He wouldn't give me his name, but said he was about thirty, which fits your guy right to a tee. I kind of believe Jerome, and wanted to let you know and see if there is any way I can help you out." 

I looked at Lance, and threw up some more. It was all flem and I was shaking now. Lance helped me to his car and took me to a doctor's office. We told the doctor what the problem was and he gave me a shot that stopped the shaking and gave me a bunch of pills to take, but said not to drink with them. We thanked him, and Lance took me to his apartment and made me some soup to settle my stomach down. 

We talked about it some more and about three hours later, after taking some more pills I seemed to calm down. I called Gail and told her I had too much to drink and I was sleeping on the boat. I went to bed at nine and slept until Lance woke me at six. Lance gave me some clean underwear and I showered. I ate breakfast and it felt good, but I was still thinking about Gail and Jeff. I got to work and it went slow that day. Lance came by at lunchtime and brought me lunch. We sat in his car and talked some more. We talked about it for the whole lunch hour and Lance said, "I'll help you through it and we will come up with a plan."

That Friday, Gail and I went out to eat, and I knew she was going to spring the baby on me. I could feel how she had been to me all that week, and the sexy way she was dressed up. We finished our meal and were having wine, and then danced for two songs. When we sat down she started on me.

"Tony, I have some surprising news for us."

"Not another raise for you? Damn it will put us in another bracket."

She kissed me and said, "No honey, it is better than that. I'm pregnant and I think this time it will be the boy you always wanted." 

"Are you sure Gail? How pregnant are you, sweetheart?"

"About six weeks now, and all the signs are it's a boy for us."

I excused myself and went to the men's room. I took a pill and a glass of water to take it with. I didn't feel too bad. I was thinking I should be throwing up all over the place, but the pills worked good. We went home and had wild sex. The kids were at her parents for the night. The next day we told everyone and they all congratulated me on having another baby. They all hoped it would be a boy.

The next week, Lance and I took a few days off and played on the boat and fished a little. We came up with a plan. Well, it was mostly Lance's plan because being on the pills, I was still a little sick and not thinking too clear. I liked the plan and we figured we had better put it in motion. Lance knew some salesman who sold spy equipment, and we ordered what we wanted from him.

I used a copy I made of her key, and went to her office Saturday when no one was around. I checked everything out to see what I could find. I found the broom closet and the storeroom, with no locks on either one. So when our equipment came in, I was ready to put it in Jeff's office. The cam was an ashtray. No one smoked in his office. The receiver was going into the broom closet and would be plugged in there.

I found out he was off on a Tuesday, and I stopped down to see Gail. She was surprised to see me because I never took time off. I told her I took the time off to give blood. Before I went in her office, I hid the receiver in the broom closet as it was lunch hour and not many were around. She showed me around again and then left me in Jeff's office to go answer a phone. That was when I placed it on the shelf, pointing to the couch and two big leather chairs. 

When she came in, I started to fool with her in Jeff's office, as he was out that day. I shut the door and locked it. She fought me hard, because she didn't want to do anything, but I told her I wasn't the first one to fuck a woman in the office, and she gave in. She sat on the couch and blew me then I lay her on the couch and took her clothes off and fucked her right there. We were done in less than twenty minutes and on our way to lunch. 

That Sunday we had a party at Jeff' house and Lance came as our guest. We got Jeff aside and Lance told him what Gail and I did in his office. Lance let it go like it was a slip and I went along with it. I told him I had her sit in the chair as I ate her and then I sat there while she blew me. Then I told him I got her on the couch and worked her over big time. I told him I got her in the ass and what a thrill it was to nail her there. Then his wife came over and broke us up. 

Lance looked at me and said, 

"Monday he'll nail her right in the office, and try to get in her ass. There is no doubt on my mind at all. I saw him getting a hard on as you told the story to him." 

We laughed like school kids. We knew Jeff would tell her and she wouldn't be able to tell us at all.

That Monday at lunch hour, we had Lance go there with a laptop computer and sit in the waiting room as though waiting for a woman to come back so he could sell her supplies. His laptop was programmed to pick up the signal from the receiver/transmitter and sure enough, at 12:07 he saw the two of them go to the couch and go at it. As soon as Jeff got it out of his pants, Gail took it in her mouth; Lance closed the laptop up and left the building so as not to get caught by her.

That night I was across the street when she and Jeff came out. I went up to her office and it was locked. I asked the clerk if she could open it because Gail left her watch inside her office. She opened the door and walked away from me. I went through the connecting door into Jeff's office and got the cam and then went to the closet to get the receiver, and grabbed Lance's laptop on the way out.

We went over to Lance's place to check out the video. Damn it was good and clear, with all the voice we needed. He was cussing her out for letting me fuck her in his office. He was slapping her ass. She blew him and he ate her. He did a job on her ass with his finger, getting her hot. He tried to fuck her ass, but she fought him and wouldn't let him near it. Jeff was pissed with no ass fucking. He said, 

"I could fire you."

"Yes, and what about the baby?"

"Well, we don't know for sure it is mine."

"Tony always uses a rubber and you talked me into fucking you without one on. My ass is the only part of me that still is Toney's, and I'm not letting you take that too. It's bad enough we will have to raise your kid."

"I'm sorry Gail, but some day you've got to let me fuck that ass of yours."

Then they went back to fucking and sucking and moaning. I had all the evidence I needed to carry out our plan. We did some copying of the video and made some single pictures too. I got home about eight and she was already in bed. She said she didn't feel good. 


Dective Lance Jackson Helps Out



Time flew by and she had the baby. It was a boy, seven pounds seven ounces. I took my six months off of work and watched the kid. We named the kid Andy after her boss because he was such a high-ranking guy with the firm. My mom and her mother came over to watch him a lot because they loved to do it. This gave me a lot of time off for golf and fishing and what \ever else I wanted to do.

When the six months were up and time for me to go to work, I talked Gail into letting me stay home with the baby and quit my job. We rolled my money I got from the company 401k into stocks and I was done with work almost. I did have one more job to do, with Andy Hewlett's law firm. 

Lance and I got hold of Jerome the dried out lawyer, and sat down for a talk. I asked him how he would like to make a million dollars. He told us he would quit his job and open a small practice to keep busy and live off the money.

He advised me on what I had to do and how much I would get. He told me if a large firm handled it, the amount would be very high. If I wanted it down, dirty and fast, I would have to take less. He said this was the best case in the world.

"How much would Andy pay to settle out of court?" I asked.

"Well, don't ever call him Andy, as only three people do that. That might piss him off and he wouldn't pay you nothing. But I would say 3 mil to have this go away. Yes, I think he would offer that much."

"Well I guess it's time for me and Andy to talk then."

The baby was a year old when I decided to meet Andy for lunch. Once a month Jeff and Andy go to an out of the way place that is famous for their lobster. I had Lance place a call for Jeff, saying he was a secretary for a good client of theirs, and his boss was going to call at 1:20 and wanted to talk to him. Jeff stayed in and Andy went by himself. 

I met him as he got out of his chauffeured car and started to walk in. "Hi Mr. Hewlett, may I buy you lunch?"

"No, but I will buy you a lobster dinner. How is that?"

"Good, thank you Mr. Hewlett."

We had a drink and he was asking me about the baby and how life was going in general. I could see as he was eating his meal, he was getting edgy and knew something was up. He finally said, "What brings you here to talk to me?"

I laughed and said, "Andy, you are from the school of hard knocks just like me. There is no bull shitting you. You know I came to talk to you alone."

"Well, I actually just figured it all out a few minutes ago as I had my mind set on the lobster. We should talk back at my office but I'm telling you now, Gail is just about maxed out, I don't see any more raises for her for a long time. Jeff has done good for her in the raise department."

"No Andy, no raise for her. I'm going to sue your firm, so I figured you would rather settle it out of court than get all the bad publicity you would get from it. You know there isn't a lawyer in this city that wouldn't want to take the case and make you guys look bad. Me, I don't care one way or the other how you guys look, I just want the money end of it."

"Well, just how do you think we harmed you lad?"

"Well, to start with, the baby. I'm not the father; I had a vasectomy a couple of months prior to conception. Your man Jeff is the poppa; he's been fucking his subordinate."

"Lots of guys have a vasectomy, and it's not always fool proof."

"Well Andy, then you know it's not my kid. I had them do a D.A.N. So you know who the father is already. You don't need me to tell you."

"You mean DNA Tony, that's the word for it."

"Maybe I better get one of them firms to handle my case for me."

"Don't get hasty my lad, let's just talk. Just what have you got that seems so valuable to you."

All the time I kept eating, while he had stopped a long time ago. I acted like a kid out to eat for the first time. I tried to act like I didn't know what I was talking about. Then I stopped eating for a while as I pulled some paper out of my jacket pocket. As I laid them down on the table I said, "This is the DNA of the baby, Andy. Signed by the lab technician."

"This is my DNA, signed by him," as I laid it down for him to see it.

"This is his statement saying I'm not related at all to the baby," once again I laid a paper down.

This certified letter is from my doctor saying the vasectomy worked; 6 weeks after and my sperm count is zero," as I laid that down too.

"This certified letter is one 6 months later, still zero," another paper landed on the pile.

"This picture is of her on the couch in Jeff's office getting screwed to death by the father of the child," as I put it with the others and went back eating. I said, "Boy, this lobster is the best, Andy."

He never picked up any of the pages; I had laid them all to my side, but he just looked at them. He took a piece of bread and buttered it and started to eat it but first said, "And how much is this all worth to you?"

"Well, now that you asked, I do have a figure set in my head. It's for a quiet settlement with nothing really getting out. But, of course I would like to hear your offer. Let me just warn you before you do make a offer, if I'm insulted by it, I will just walk out and give it to one of the firms we talked about and the only time you will see me is in court. As long as the offer is reasonable, I will continue doing business with you, Andy. But don't insult me. I have been shit on enough by your firm and my wife, don't you try it too. Is that fair enough for you?"

"Sounds good to me," he said as he rose and reached for the papers.

"Go ahead, those copies are for you. You want to have me tested on your nickel, it OK by me."

He continued to leave saying, "We'll keep in touch with you."

"Today is the third. If I don't hear from you by the sixteenth at noon, it goes into one of the firms hands, so take your time."

I saw his car pull away, so I left to meet Jerome and Lance. Lance had me wired, so we played the tape. Jerome said I did a good job. We laughed, and Jerome figured he would offer at least 5 mil. We had a couple drinks, and I took off. 

As I got home, Gail was just going in the house with a box. When I got up there, she came running to me saying the firm let her go for no reason at all and she was out of a job. She wanted to call Jeff and see what was going on, but Jeff went out to the airport to meet a client and had left his cell at work.

The two mothers were asking her all kinds of questions on how they could do this to her after all the years she had with them. I could see Gail was getting kind of mad and upset, but I never called them off her. Finally, after we all talked for an hour, she got a call from Jeff and took it outside the house when she found out it was him. She was out there for a half-hour before she came in.

When she came in, she was crying and we all wanted to know what happened. All we could get out of her was Jeff was let go too, and neither one knew anymore about it for the time being. The two moms finally took off and she told me, "I'm going to meet Jeff to talk things over between us and see what we can come up with." She was to meet him at seven.

At six forty she was ready to leave and it was just the two of us in the kitchen. As she left she said, "Bye, I'll be back in an hour."

I turned to her and held out a tape recorder and asked her, "What?"

She looked and said, "I'm meeting Jeff, I'll be home in an hour. What is that you got, a new toy?"

"Yes it's a recorder. I'm going to tape a lot of our conversations from now on."

"Don't get weird on me with your new toys. Right now we don't have a bread winner and I'm getting stressed out, Tony."

"Why don't you take Andy with you? I'm sure Jeff would like to see how his son is doing, and how well we take care of his kid." Her face dropped and she was still holding the door.

"What the hell are you talking about? We all know it's your baby boy that you always wanted. I've got to go or I'm going to be late."

"Well, don't upset Jeff, because you guys might want some more kids in the future. I had a vasectomy while I was at training last year, and I can't have any more kids because I'm sterile. So Andy is not my kid, just so you know."

"Well they don't always work sweetheart, you know that," as she closed the door and came into the kitchen.

"Sorry, but I been tested three times and all were negative. I wanted to surprise you when I came home from the training, but you were all wrapped up into going to the party so you could be with Jeff. So I said the hell with it, it really didn't matter."

"You are telling me you think Jeff is the father?"

"Well I don't know if it's Jeff or someone else you're fucking. But I do know that's it's not me, sweetheart. I have the DNA evidence to proof it."

"Show it to me."

"You will see it all in court soon enough."

Then she sat down and cried like a baby. The kids came out about ten minutes later. They heard she lost her job, and was still crying. I told them to go to their rooms and close the door because we wanted to talk.

She finally asked, "When did you find out?"

"About two weeks before you told me you were pregnant. Jeff likes to brag about it, and some guys in a bar overheard him. They told me."

"You knew all that time, and you been taking care of him and never said anything to me about it."

"That's right sweetheart, and I found out I don't need you around anymore. I can do just fine by myself."

The telephone rang and I answered it. It was Jeff and he wanted to know if Gail was on her way. I handed her the phone.

She just said, "Yes, no, I don't know, if you think shit hit the fan at work, you should see it at our house. He knows you're the father. Yes, a DNA test told him. How the hell should I know, you want to talk to him? Goodbye."

She sat down and cried some more. "Who else knows."?

"Well, your work knows, that's why they let you go, I guess."

"Yes, I kind of figured that out about now and I guess Jeff has too. He threatened me, if I said anything to his wife, he would kill me."

"Well in that case, I better call his wife. No asshole is going to threaten my household and get away with it."

I picked up the phone; she had him on the speed dial. Alice answered it. 

I started in telling her that her husband was a proud father of a one-year-old boy. She got pissed off and hung up on me after awhile, so I didn't get to say too much. I knew she would be calling back. 

I told Gail to move her things and she could live in the baby's room till she found a place to live. I told her, "I want a divorce and you get the money we have, and pay me 1/3 of your earnings, I want the kids and the house. That is more than fair after what you did. It's a one-time offer and expires on the eighth of the month. So if you want it, talk to a lawyer. Any offer after this is half the money plus money for your half of the house and I get the kids and house to live in anyway."

She said, "I don't want all the money, I just want half of everything. That is more than fair. What about Andy?"

"He is part of the family; I will take care of him."

Three days later, she moved her things out and her lawyer contacted me and I had Jerome draw up the papers for the settlement and divorce and she signed it all with her lawyer approving everything. She wanted me to explain to the kids and she would get them every other weekend.

I explained to the kids as well as I could, and they took it better than I would have. There are a lot of kids are in school from single parents, so I guess that helped.

Andy called me a week after our first meeting and set up a date at his law firm for the next day. I showed up with Jerome. I told him before we went in that I was looking for 6 million out of them. He said we could get more, but I told him that would do. Jerome told me he would do all my talking for me. 

We met in a big conference room and Andy had six of his lawyers on his side, while just Jerome and I sat on the other side. 

Jerome asked, "What do you have as a figure?" and one lawyer said, "I guess in the neighborhood of 2 million" 

Jerome said, "That's no good. We were looking for 10 million, so let's say 7 are more reasonable?"

"We'll double our offer to 4."

"Six."

"Split the difference?"

"Five it is. We can move on, if it's all right with you Mr. Hewlett." He nodded and then Jerome said, "How do you expect to pay this?"

A few of the lawyers looked at each other and Jerome spoke. "Well, start us off; we might just go for it."

"Well, most deals like this is a thirty-year plan."

"Yes, I agree with you, but that is a business format. Here we have an individual, and we are looking for a ten-year plan and nothing more. Who can say where we will be in ten years from now." I got up for a cup of coffee and while I was there, I could hear them discussing it among themselves.

They came back with twenty-year deal. Jerome opened his laptop and played the video he had keyed to a certain point. Jeff was saying, 

"Let me fuck that ass, or I'll have you fired, you bitch."

"Gentlemen, we want to settle it and be out of your hair in the fastest time we can. We're not asking for the world in money, and we don't want to be in your hair for twenty years either. We don't want to be reminded of this any longer than we have to. Ten years for an individual is fair. We don't make a living at this. Look, we will step out of the room and wait in the waiting room and you can call us when you're ready."

We waited for twenty minutes when they called us back in. They accepted a ten-year deal with two million the first year and the rest in ten payments. 

"Good, sounds like a plan coming together for us all. Tomorrow you draw up the papers and I will sit down with you and go over them and see what has to be changed. That shouldn't be more that two days of work, and we should be able to sign by Friday at the latest." 

The next day we got together with Gail and she signed all the papers without a lawyer, because Jerome told her it was paper work to get her half of all the different bank accounts in order with her name on them alone. As she signed, she signed a paper we put in saying she would not sue the law firm and settled for ten thousand dollars. After we finished, we all went out to eat with the kids and little Andy. 

We finally settled with the law firm. Jerome had a hard time agreeing with the wording, and a lot had to be changed in it. But we finally did sign, and we got the money. I took his right off the top and gave it to him.

Gail and I went out about a month after she signed all the papers to talk. It went fairly well. She did a lot of crying, trying to explain what she did. I felt sorry for her in a way, but not that sorry. She more or less admitted she was more concerned with going up the corporate ladder, and it was more important to her than her marriage was.

Her mom and my mom are still pissed at her for what she did, and it will take time for them to come around. Our divorce is final and I'm once again a free man with four kids. I hired a sitter or nanny, whatever you want to call them, to watch Andy while I do my thing. It cost me a few dollars, but I've got it, so what the hell. 

Gail picks up the kids on her weekends and enjoys them very much. She's back working as a paralegal plus some volunteer work. 

It's only been two years since I dumped her and she just started to date again. I've been going out with a lot of different girls, but they are all-younger than me, and like to give that pussy away. I think I will go back and chase someone more my age and see how that works out. Maybe she will have a few kids and I can take them in too. I love Andy and the girls, and treat him just like he was my son. He is a great kid and learns fast.
