... two principal partners of Knight, Desmond, McCall, and Smith, LLC. Excellent contract and labor lawyers, probably some of the best in the Midwest. Not worth a shit as criminal attorneys. "We are the Shark's team legal reps, James Knight and Arthur Desmond. We are here to represent Mr. LaValliere and the Sharks in this travesty of justice. And you are?", Knight intoned with a look of superiority on his face and sneer on his lips. LW just smiled and said, "LW Sterns. Perhaps you've heard of me?" Knight paled and pulled the goldfish impersonation we've read so much of lately. Desmond choked and looked like he was going to pass out. 'SHIT!' briefly escaped his lips before he clammed up. "Well, GENTLEMEN, do we know where Mr. La Costa is?" (Marco La Costa was Marc's personal lawyer. LW had a good idea where he was-probably inside, at the 'festivities' going on in the mansion.) "ERR, no, we have been unable to contact him tonight," said Knight. "No matter, we will take care of business without him. Here's how it's going to go, GENTLEMEN. We are going to sue you for everything under the sun and a couple of things I haven't made up yet. You will counter-offer and we will decide if we like it. Meanwhile, Mr. LaValliere is to be terminated for violation of your 'morals' clause, such as it is. And I mean just cut him. No compensation, no trade, no deal with anybody else." Desmond woke up.

By the time the East Coast wakes up, AFTER the FBI incursion, the arrests, and the resulting shitstorm to the NFL, it will probably be an International incident. Hell, even Taylor Swift will be on page two or three. And you aren't our main target. Marc LaValliere will be a household name, and good people will be using it as a throw-down curse word. We are going to break him and take him to the cleaners. My researchers have already lined up how many, Clair??" On cue, as if waiting for her big scene, Claire was scrolling her tablet. "We have 12 men, women, or couples. So far, sir. And we are still interviewing, looking at others. Women, men, and families that have been destroyed by Mr. LaValliere's antics and...Oh, way a minute, sir, 15 now and 4 more just contacted our staff back in St. Louis." She raised her head and smiled. "I think we're going to need more staff, sir." Now, of course, that was all just smoke and mirrors, arranged beforehand. But with his reputation, and the fact that the Sharks had bailed his ass out before, the 'Smoke and Mirrors' had the consistency of concrete. LW continued. "Then, the class action lawsuits start. Against you, him, the NFL, and the players union, for putting up with his BULLSHIT. Before long, Soccer will be more popular than you guys. Maybe ...
