All I could remember slightly was a mop of curly blonde hair and strong arms gently placing me on a bed. My eyes now became focused on what was around...me. Big Mama sat near my bed and said"She's waking up!" "she'll be alright. "A tall strong looking guy was standing next to her in jeans and a flannel shirt. I looked up at his blue eyes and noticed his blonde hair. He was ruggedly handsome with chiseled features. He smiled shyly at me. This is who picked me up off of the stage!"Curly!"Big Mama. An indistinct mumble answered her. "Oh I'm sorry Cindy," she informed the plump, black-haired woman.

Now, as I was saying Laura, I am certain you at a loss as to why I asked you to see me; correct?" Well, yes." I admitted."Laura, it's about embezzlement - the embezzlement of funds from several of your client's accounts to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars; as well as, the depositing of those funds into an account that you exclusively control." He said.As his words struck home, I felt ice permeating my entire being."What?! That's.
