Chapter 37

Kenji said, “How does your father know?”

“He’s the founding member of the San Jose Law Firm. I asked him to take the case.”

“Oh, James, you are awesome, dude. Most very very awesomeful. Thank you.”

“He has old history with the construction company and was happy to take the case. He has full intentions of sticking it all up their ass. The inspector, too, the one you and I hired.”

When Kenji went to his own place, he smelled his hand. It had James’ cologne on it. He jacked off, thinking of him.

The next day, Kenji checked next door. James took the day off work and was ready to drive his mother to the hospital.

James’ mom hugged Kenji. “Thank you for helping us yesterday and coming over today. This family owes you.”

“Just being a good neighbor.”

James hugged him, surprising Kenji. He squeezed tight and held it a while. Then he whispered, “Thank you.”

Kenji went home.
