The debt | Started by: kong on Nov 11, '19 14:05 |
Behind a large wooden desk kong sits with a pen in his hand, deep in his own thoughts. Next to a small golden statue on the desk you recognise as a replica of the statue of Berderus, the great statue that was once known to soar above the Chicago skyline, a sign saying “Eugene ‘kong’ Fagotti, attorney at law” sits. Over in the corner Schaudt is sitting in silence. He is clearly not the brains of this operation but he knows better than to disturb his boss when he is handling important business. He looks over at kong as he sights and speaks. Man… This slippery little goblin is trying to screw over one of our customers again. Can you believe it Schaudt? This wise guy from Detroit is swimming in cash but still he refuses to pay this lowly intern or whatever he is what he is owed. What a despicable guy. Schaudt nods in approval, having heard some stories about Destro and his behavior disgusts him. He is about to chime in but he sees his boss have started writing and pipes down like a good boy.
Kong folds up the letter and hands it to his associate. Schaudt trips in his own feet, but manages to not fall over as he runs out of the office to deliver the letter as quickly as he can. |

Destro pens his own letter and sends it back to the broom closet kong refers to as his law office.

Phillip pulls his jacket right against the wind as he slides the note beneath the door. ”Gentlemen, this is growing ridiculous. It has become a joke in our cities. I am willing to put up the rest of whatever is owed from my own pocket just to stop this madness. Let me know if this works for all of you. I no longer have the patience to listen to any more of this whining. Find me when you need me.
Sincerely, Phillip Marleau” Phillip tucked his hands into his pockets as he moved away from the offices. |

I have only served as a judge for this competition, I have not organized or decided anything on how this competition should be run or what the rules are. After the competition was up and running again, I stated publicly that my wish was to continue with the original rules that CommissarZverev had set up. I was asked to decide the competition by myself, I clearly told the Commissar that my wish was to let all the CL`s in this thing of ours to submit their vote as he posted on the competition card. |

Schaudt hastily runs up the stairs, to the large well furnished office of Las Vegas's most prestigious lawyer with two letters. Kong quickly reads through them and tosses the letter from Destro aside for later and adresses Schaudt. The little cretin is attempting to weasel himself out of the debt as usual. I think I have to send word to the old country. Get Ludarius and the cousins over here to deal with this personally. But this letter from the good man from Chicago is interesting. Good PhillipMarleau might actually be the solution to our problem. The lawyer hastily scribbles a note and hands it to his errand boy.

Destro pulls another sheet of paper from his desk, a desk far superior to the little kids desk kong sits at in his "office" and drafts a letter to NotoriousBIG. He too slides the letter under the law firm's door, with a forwarding address to NotoriousBIG's mansion in Philadelphia of course.

This whole thing is ridiculous. I've never even heard of any Mr 'kong' Fagotti's and I certainly would never employ outside counsel without the prior consent of Editor-in-chief CoconutRandy or, at the very least without the authority of, Coconut Randy Esq - SVP at Coconut Corporate Legal and Compliance. I'm an intern. I can't afford my own legal advice - especially not seen I have been stiffed on this contest by pretty much everyone involved. Destro, as ever, it is with great displeasure I note your entanglement with this. Did you run out of baby seals to club? I appreciate it was generous of you to donate some of your hard earned winnings to cover the bad debt of CommissarZverev. But just what exactly are you still doing here sniffing around? I further note that I've been sent $100,000, unsolicited, by a PhillipMarleau. What is this? A payoff? Do you work for CommissarZverev? Are you trying to throw me off the scent? Well let me tell you, Marleau, I can't be bought. I took an intern's oath when I joined the team at The Coconut Chronicle and this certainly isn't anywhere near enough to make me forget about this mess. Now, Mr Fagotti, I may need representation against Mr Marleau and his deceitful attempt at bribery. Assuming CoconutRandy gets approval for outside counsel, could you give me a schedule of your rates to act in such a matter? |

Poor VIPCreditsGrin, he must have hit his head on the typewriter again. He is not an easy client I can tell you that mr Schaudt. Kong shakes his head as he adresses his assistant in his gigantic office, so large he actually have to shout for Schaudt to hear him. Representing a plaintiff this mentally hampered is certainly not as easy as his old job protecting MariaReynolds from underaged poolboys. But still, the big payday was motivation enough so he put pen to paper again, this time to take it to the top.

Neil didn't have an office of his own, instead he worked out of the back of a 1923 Lanchester 21 with a 2930 cc six-cylinder overhead-cam water-cooled engine. This quirk resulted in 2 notable facts, one, that he was often able to attend to his clients needs rather quickly, and two, that he had garnered the nickname of the Lanchester Lawyer, a name that would be reworked over 5 decades later by the novelist Michael Connolly for his Character Mickey Haller. Whilst this information is of now relevance to the current actions, it most certainly helkped move along the narrative.

Destro shakes his head as he reads yet another letter from yet another lawyer threatening legal action over an incident he is well documented for having nothing to do with. He pulls an evil quill from his inkwell and begins drafting a second letter to the law offices of Eugene "kong" Fagotti.

Schaudt is red faced and panting heavily from running around with the flurry noted all day. Kong hands him a tenner and sends him on his way. Here young man, have this and treat yourself to something nice. But be back soon, Im going to need all the help I can get now that some cases seems to be moving to court. He light a cigar, completely dry as it had not recently been in a puddle on the streets, and sights as he reads trough all of the letters, what a mess this have created, if only the respected earner of Chicago PhillipMarleau would come through with his promise to solve this financially once and for all. He starts scribeling a letter on behalf of his new and for now most valued client.

How did all these people get law degrees? Coconut University had proved to be one of Coconut Randy's more ill-advised private business ventures. Coconut Randy Esq, SVP Legal and Compliance at Coconut Corp, sighed extremely loudly.

Neil almost snorted his cheap coffee all over the letter he received from Kong on behalf of the weasel known as Destro. It was hardly surprising now that the net was closing, that he would panic and attempt to disassociate himself from the quagmire of rambunctious shit he had created for himself over the last 72 hours. Searching for a piece of paper, he flipped over Kongs letter and wrote an immediate response, telling Schaudt to remain here in order to take the return mail directly to Kong, because that is what his letter instructed. Ka-ching, he was now 9 cents up from when he started this morning, and NotoriousBIG had assured him that the soup kitchen vouchers would be with him presently.

Neil sighs to himself, perhaps the Payday loan business would have been easier than progressing into law. One day in, and already he had completed more work for FuqHym Legal services than he had over 5 days for his legitimate boss. Thank fully his spy at Kong's broom closet was starting to pay dividends, so it was time to respond to one of the other injured parties.

If I could read private correspondences that have not been addressed to me, which I obviously can't before any of you "busy bodies" get a bee in your pants about it, I would doubtlessly say I don't understand any of this legal mumbo-jumbo. I would say something like 'I don't have a brain for all this "legal jargon"', because that isn't the intern's lot. If it doesn't need putting in a mug, cleaning with a brush or investigating with a whim, vigor and tireless dedication, then it is frankly not within my wheel shed. Therefore, I would just be grateful if someone could "update me" about two important matters. Intern Grinbini holds up his hands and counts the items off on his fingers as he goes. One, when is that villain Destro going to pay me the $50,000 he generously owes me? Two, when is CommissarZverev going to admit his dice losses and near loss of life yesterday evening have financially crippled him? And, the third of my two things, has anyone received $17,900,000 from Phillip Marleau and are they intending to send it to me? I guess that is four things. I don't have a brain for all this "mathematics" though. I have an intern's brain. |
