Mitch tells the man he doesn't work under the gun, and the man becomes more threatening. Mitch starts prodding to figure out what could have brought the man to such a low point, and just when Mitch thinks he has a handle on the situation, the police show up.

If you like legal thrillers, this short story is for you. Mitch Turner is a fast-talking lawyer who takes risks where others might not.
