16 - The Start

Monday morning was a hectic start of the week for Ryan. All five lawyers of Taylor, Salceda & Associates were in a very important meeting.

“Sombra Properties finally made its move. They started talking with property owners near the city center. They also started lobbying with the city hall. As of now, the mayor is still on our side, but who knows what will happen next.” Atty. Eleanor Salceda briefed the whole office.

“Few property owners are considering selling, but the majority doesn’t. That’s where their legal team would come in. They would look into any opportunity to force the owners to sell. They would surely use underhanded methods, but their legal team would bury it for sure.” Atty. Henry Taylor added.

“We’ll start talking to the most vulnerable owners. Those who are likely to be Sombra’s initial target.” Carla said.
