Who's on First

When Mitch gets back from his trip from the Caymans he drives to Abby’s school where she teaches to surprise her.  He’s feeling really guilty that he just cheated with an island girl.  He doesn’t know it but the island girl was a set up.  The firm had pictures of him taken with the girl to use as blackmail later.  DeVasher is still tapping the McDeere’s homes phones and cars and following them most of the time.  Kay Quin and Abby met for lunch and Abby kind of dumps her frustrations with Mitch’s late nights on Kay.  Mitch gets Abby to a restaurant and finally tells her that they’re being taped and followed and about his meeting with an FBI agent and how careful they have to be now.  Christmas is celebrated with huge bonuses for everyone.  DeVasher orders even tighter surveillance on Mitch and has him followed when he travels to Washington for a tax seminar.  While there, he is approached by Lomax’s secretary, Tammy.  She’s kind of a crusty middle-aged lady that has connections.  Also, Mitch learns that he is being solicited by the Director of the FBI, Mr. Voyles who wants to meet him.  Mitch is given secret directions so he’s not found out by the firm.  He ends up at the Wall, a memorial that lists the names of all the veterans killed in 1972.  Mitch’s brother, Rusty, is listed on the wall.  Mitch is escorted to Voyles who tells him the law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke is owned by the Morolto crime family in Chicago and that no lawyer has ever left the firm alive.  He wants Mitch’s help to take the firm down.  Over time, Mitch agrees but negotiates to two million dollars, the release of his brother Ray from prison, and personal protection for him and Abby.
