The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

At the Lawrence Group’s Cludan branch.

“Not yet, but I received a peculiar text message from someone claiming to be Casey. She claims she’s trapped in the Carter Family’s basement and needs my help. How credible do you think this message is?”

“Where are you currently? I’ll come over immediately. Don’t delete the message. Keep it.”
