FUMI
IN ONE CHILLING INSTANT, the room plunges into darkness.
“Goddammit,” Cassidy swears from somewhere to my left.
I squeeze my eyelids shut, blinded by the overhead lights flickering back
on, trying to calm my racing heart. With a groan, I slowly open my eyes
again, refocusing on the mountains of legal files strewn over the table in
front of me.
“Okay, seriously, fuck this,” Cassidy mutters. She stops waving her hands
frantically to turn the sensor-activated lights back on. With a scowl, she
slams the file in front of her shut. “That’s a sign. We’ve officially been
down here way too long.”
The break in concentration from the automatic lights turnings off is like
shattering an evil spell. I groan, rolling my shoulders as I realize how sore I
am from sitting hunched over for God knows how many hours. My eyes
burn from scouring deposition transcripts, and I make a face as I drop my
pen and crack the knuckles in my cramped-up hand.
Cassidy is right: if the motion sensor lights down here in the overflow file
storage room in the sub-basement turn off while you’re down here, it means
you’re been in one statue-like position for way too long.
Across the ancient conference table from me, Felix shoves his hands up his
face and through his sandy brown, slightly tousled hair. He glances at his
watch and groans. “Fucking hell. It’s eight.”
“I say we call it,” Cassidy sighs.
“Agreed,” Felix nods. He lifts his brows toward me with a grin. “What do
you think, Fumi?”
I wrinkle my nose. “I think we haven’t found what we were supposed to
find yet.”
I know, captain buzzkill. Instantly, both of my coworkers’ faces fall.
Cassidy groans as she flops the legal file back open in front of her. “And
that, class, is how you make equity partner,” she mutters, glaring down at
the papers.
Felix makes a face, rubbing his jaw as he sinks back in his chair and eyes
me. “That’s a point. It’s shitty enough that Cass and I pulled a bullshit job
like records deep-diving, but that’s literally why paralegals exist. Who the
hell did you piss off to be saddled with this?”
I roll my eyes. “It’s part of the job, Felix. The partners want everything
airtight for the Marshall case. Which means crossing every T, dotting every
I —”
“And cross-referencing all twenty-one hours of deposition transcripts to
make sure our pathological liar of a client actually told the truth for once in
her life,” Cassidy mutters, glaring at the pages in front of her. “Seriously,
Felix is right. How did you wind up down here in the trenches?”
“Because my last name isn’t Crown or Black?”
My friend grins. “Fair.”
On one hand, yes: it is kind of bullshit that I’m pulling late night cram
sessions again like I’m some junior partner fresh out of law school. But
that’s just how it goes sometimes. Even at a terrific firm like Crown and
Black. Even when you’ve recently made equity partner in that firm.
Unless your name is on the building, you do what you have to do.
