the time comes,” Simon said smoothly. “Now are you sure that you haven’t left anything out? I need to know everything, even if it’s something that you feel is embarrassing or makes you look bad. Do you understand?”
    “Yes, sir, Mr. Draco,” Andrew nodded emphatically. “I absolutely do understand. I wouldn’t keep anything from you. Besides, I already made an ass out of myself by going over to Pam’s drunk and obnoxious.”
    “If that’s all they have on you, then it may be easier than I think,” Simon laughed. “You’re not the only person to ever pull a stunt like that – believe me, I know. But let’s not assume anything either way. I’ll be happy to represent you, Andrew, and I’ll get started on your case immediately.”
    Simon rose and so did Andrew. He came around the desk and shook hands with the younger man, and started to walk him to the door.
    “Okay, Andrew, I’ll let you know as soon as I find out anything. In the meantime, remember to call me the second you hear anything from the police.”
    “Yes, sir, Mr. Draco. Thank you so much!”
    “You can thank me when I’ve gotten you out of this mess. Now, try not to worry. Remember, you’ve got me on your side and, even if I say so myself, I’ve had a quite a bit of success in defending falsely accused people.”
    “I’m so happy to have you helping me, Mr. Draco. You just don’t understand how much hope you’ve given me.”
    “Well, Andrew, you keep holding on to that hope. We’ll get this sorted.
Chapter Four
    AFTER ANDREW HAD left his office, Simon closed the door and sat down at his desk. Picking up the phone, he punched in a number that he could have recited in his sleep and waited for an answer.
    “Hi, Simon. How’s it going?”
    “Oh, you know how it is, Erick. Never a dull moment. How’s Hollianne? Have you run her off yet?”
    He heard Erick chuckling and Simon couldn’t help but grin. That was one of the very significant changes in his personality since falling in love – yes, Erick Angell, one of the most cynical of them angels, had fallen in love. This news had created such a noise among the Earthbound Angels. He could almost imagine the sound they made before their wings were taken from them. The flapping of thousands of wings could be quite… liberating.
    Well, that was what he’d thought with not just a bit of sentiment as news about the impending wedding passed from line to line. If the Earthbound still had wings, they would be flapping. Like hands clapping. Quite a lot of Earthbounds had embraced the human life and had married and raised kids of their own. But with Erick being here on Earth longer than most and managing to hide himself from personal human interactions in his castle for years, one could imagine the stir it caused to watch him “fall”, no pun intended.
    So, back to the beginning. Erick wasn’t a chuckler. It was a good experience to hear him do this now. If someone could make Erick chuckle, then the world really wasn’t such a hopeless place.
    “You know, I’m not quite sure how I got so lucky but I’m very thankful. Now, you’re still going to be my Best Man, aren’t you?” he asked.
    “I wouldn’t miss it, my friend,” Simon said enthusiastically before sobering and becoming serious. “Look, I’ve got a favor to ask you.”
    “Sure thing. What’s up?”
Chapter Five
    “I’VE GOT THIS new client,” Simon told Erick. “Nice young man named Andrew Martin. You might have heard about the Pamela Stevens attack a couple of months ago?”
    “Oh yeah, I did hear about that. So Andrew’s your client. Does that mean that he’s innocent?”
    “Yes, he had nothing to do with it but he’s about to be arrested for attempted murder and rape. I wonder if you can get in touch with your special friend. I need all of the information I can get.”
    “Of course. Give me the details and I’ll put in a call to him right now.”
    “Thanks, Erick. I really appreciate it.”
    When he had
