One Job's Beginning (and End)

Part 1
Emma and Emily, as twins, looked as different as night and day. Emma has straight brown hair and green eyes while Emily has wild blonde hair and blue eyes. Both are slender and exactly 5’7. Emily liked to play basketball while Emma preferred softball. Both got A’s through high school and college, working together to become successful lawyers. They worked extra hard, doing double courses, so they could graduate early.

Ryan and Josh had been best friends since middle school, where they had been in the same classes all through the day. They sat next to each other from band; both boys played the trombone, all the way down to math, in a higher class than most of the grade. Ryan has brown hair and brown eyes while Josh has blonde hair and grey eyes. They both played basketball and football in high school. At 26 they stand a little over 6 feet tall. They went through college together and had shared the same dreams. They currently work for the F.B.I., to be exact on their dream they acquired. As partners, they had gone through a lot together. Their next case was taking them to a small town out west; Rexburg, Idaho, a beautiful town, but it doesn’t hold many fun attractions for the two adventure seekers.

Emma and Emily waltzed into E&E law offices early Monday in the middle of June.
“Good morning.” The secretary, Marsha, stated.
“‘Morning!” Emma and Emily said simultaneously. They glance at each other and giggle.
“You have three letters, Emma, and you have four, Emily.”
“Thank you!” they both exclaimed, giggling again. Emma followed Emily down the hall but they entered their separate offices right across the hall from each other.

Ryan glanced at Josh, who was sitting on the passenger side of the car, and looked again at the brown brick building with the sign that read ‘E&E Law Office’.
“This is the best assignment we’ve ever had!” Ryan said.
“I totally agree!” Josh stated while loading his pistol, leaving the first chamber empty as a safety precaution. Ryan opened the folder and read a little more about Emma, almost wishing he could meet this incredible woman. Josh set the gun aside but within easy reach, waiting for the moment he would have to grab it quickly, hoping it wasn’t soon. He opened his mouth to speak, but stops as he looks at Ryan and realizes he’s again reading the folder on Emma. Josh rolled his eyes and the opened the center console and pulled out the other almost identical folder only this one was on Emily. When he opened the folder the first thing he saw was the picture of a slender girl with long curly blonde hair and captivating bright blue eyes. He reads her name ‘Emily Jane Adams’ ‘Single’. Wishing somehow he could meet her and maybe even date her. “No” he told himself, “she is my work and nothing else!” He continued down the list and sees the name of a man ‘Carson Dale Thompson’. He sees the picture of this man, he was easily 6’3 and had black hair and blue eyes and a smile that made him cringe inside. These girls didn’t know what they were getting into!

A man walks down the sidewalk and into the brown brick building. He steps up to the secretary’s desk and says, “Thompson.”, in a cold, almost cruel, voice. The secretary glanced up while typing on the keyboard of her computer.
“One moment, please.” She stated in a business like tone. She hit a button on her phone and Emma instantly picked up, “There is a Mr. Carson Thompson here to see you.”
“Send him on back.” She complied happily. Emma looked around her tidy office, opened the window and curtains and went to open the door for this giant of a man. He looked through the glass door into Emily’s office before turning left into Emma’s. Emma noticed the glance but kept it to herself. “What can I do for you?” she asked innocently.
“I need to be represented for a legal transaction.” He stated in his cold voice. “I am getting a divorce from my… wife.”

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this intriguing tale!
