My friend Lucy, some other female I don't know, and myself are forming a new organization that investigates claims and helps people file lawsuits. Our client is a man who owns a chain of department stores. He's literally a shady character, for he appears wearing mirrored sunglasses. He's also private about may aspects of his life and just wants us to do the job for him without getting too involved in his life.

The lawsuit involves another man who claims that he's (our client) buying up too much property and monopolizing on the consumer market. Our job is to investigate this man and help the attorneys in the case.

I tell my friends that I can do the interview of our client because he's not that far away (I don't like driving long distances). I meet him and conduct the interview while he's sitting in the cabin of an eighteen wheeler and I'm on the ground looking up. I never see his eyes, just the reflection from his glasses. I don't trust this man.

I stand there thinking that, although this would give me work if and when my other job ends, do I really want to do this for a living? Sure, it would yield some good money, but could I live with my conscience? I also question my knowledge of the law.

Right. The whole story is the dream. In reality I work in education.
