"I need your help,” I tell Hank as he sits on the other side of his desk. "I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."
"You've never come to me for help before, so I truly believe that. Alexis said she's involved with it too, a friend of hers? If they're fuckin' with my secretary and basically right-hand woman, then they're fuckin' with me, too."
That's exactly what I wanted to hear. "Gabby's ex-husband served her with papers and has sent emails basically saying he’s taking the shop from her. He's some big name in the building industry, and I want to take him down. She's built that place with her own blood, sweat, and tears. How dare he do that to her?"
"What's his name? Abel didn't know, but he seemed to think I would be able to help," he asks, tilting his head to the side.
"He knows who you are, and you know everyone," I defend Abel. "His name is Jeff Smithfield."
He raises his eyebrows. "You know who you're messing with?"
