sore to bear another spanking! "Will, dear, you are not going to be happy, but you need to hear me out completely. Will you do that? And will you remember that I love you...?"
Will felt a stab of fear. Jenna was seriously afraid to tell him what was going on and he wondered what kind of mess she'd involved herself in. There were so many criminals masquerading as businessmen these days, and it was entirely possible she was in over her head through no fault of her own! It was, however, a time to remain quiet and hear her out, and then he would fix the problem. "I'm listening, honey." He was going to take apart anyone who was responsible for upsetting his wife!
"The young woman I am defending is named Nadine Warner. Her husband is Craig Warner, and a very nice young man. He loves Nadine so much, and she loves him, too. She is completely innocent of these charges, Will," she spoke firmly.
"All right."
"When I met Nadine, something about her struck me as familiar. Will, Nadine is using her middle name now..." She watched as he slowly realized what she was trying to tell him. Emotions played across his face, but concern was the most prevalent.
"My Katy is in trouble?" he demanded, his entire body tensing. Even though he hadn't seen her since Cathy's funeral, he still loved her, and he would see to it she was protected.
"Yes, Will. But she is innocent, and I think I know who is trying to frame her. I was going to tell you everything once I cleared her name... I knew how upset you would be..." The look in his eyes was foreboding now, and Will was obviously very angry and trying to control his temper.
"Upset that she didn't call me and ask for my help? You are right about that, Mrs. Cole. Upset that you didn't tell me the minute you knew... Again, right! Upset that she is married to some jerk I've never even set eyes on? I'm going to paddle the daylights out of her!" he promised.
"You are being unreasonable, darling. She's a grown woman and old enough to choose her husband, with or without your approval."
"I'm still going to paddle her!" he exploded.
"Will, you can't do that. She's already too sore to sit down!" The words slipped unbidden from her mouth.
"What?" The shocked look on his face would be comical if the situation wasn't so darn serious. "Are you telling me that someone already spanked her?" Will didn't like that one little bit.
"Nadine is really upset over this case, darling, and Craig decided to snap her out of the pity part she was having for herself, and he took his hand and a ruler to her. And, please don't say anything! I was eavesdropping!"
"Jenna Suzanne!" Will was exasperated with her.
"I know... embarrassing. Craig's father caught me, and we hid in his office until it was over because we didn't want to embarrass Nadine. Craig loves her, Will. He's a fine young man. And, her father-in-law called me in because he believes her innocent. He wants the person caught."
"What do you have that clears Katy?" Will was all lawyer now, and Jenna sighed. There was no way he would leave this solely to her now. Reluctantly, she flipped on more light, and went through the highlights. Will was full of questions, and by the time they finally laid down to try and sleep, it was only a few hours before Jenna had to be at Warner Values Exemplified. Will had discussed strategy with her until he was convinced that Jenna knew precisely what she was doing.
Jenna didn't sleep well, and neither did Will. She reached for his hand and simply held it, wondering what he was thinking. He turned to her and she offered him comfort in the most elemental of ways. He showered first, and by the time she was finished in the bathroom, and dressed in her new business suit, he was dressed and holding her briefcase in his hand.
"Oh no! Will, you don't seriously expect to come with me?"
"Katy is my daughter. She needs to know that I believe in her, and yes, Jenna, I am coming with you. No arguments, now."
Jenna knew it was pointless to argue
