CHAPTER ONE

Fannie Riggs sat in her car outside of the law firm of Smyth, Banyan and Smyth, where her interview to become an associate with the firm was scheduled to take place in less than thirty minutes. She had picked out her outfit three days ago. She’d made it herself, and it was both strictly business, and flattering in all the right places. She had gone to her favorite salon and had her blonde hair highlighted two days prior, and she had visited her dentist the day before for teeth whitening. She was well prepared for this interview. She knew her stuff; she had graduated Magna Cum Laude from her law school at the University of Chicago and had just completed an internship at one of the largest law firms in the Chicago area. She should be strutting into this interview with her head held high, confident in the fact that she was the right person, maybe the only person for the job.

Yet, here she sat in her car, thinking about her parents. Fannie loved her mom and dad. They were the kind of parents that most kids only dreamed about. Mom always had something fresh baked waiting for her after school. Both of her parents routinely attended all of her school events. She had everything a little girl could want or need within reason, and she never doubted that she was loved. Now however, as she tried to prepare herself mentally for what could be the biggest interview of her legal career, she couldn’t stop wondering why. She had wondered about it before, and had even come close once to asking them about it. She had stopped herself though, telling herself that it was really a moot point, and there was no reason to hurt their feelings by bringing it up. She wondered about it again now, to the point to where she almost picked her cell phone up off the seat next to her and called her mother.

Fannie could hear how the conversation would go in her head. It would be something like,

Fannie: Hey, Mom.

Mom: Hi, Fannie, I thought you had your interview this morning.

Fannie: I do, but I had to ask you a question.

Mom: What’s that, dear?

Fannie: What were you and Dad thinking when you named me? I mean, didn’t you think that a big girl named Fannie Riggs might just be too much for the ruthless elementary school bullies to pass up on?

Mom: I’m sorry, dear, we named you after your father’s Aunt Fannie.

Fannie: I know, Mom. But Aunt Fannie was born in a different age. Kids at school weren’t dying to share with her the obvious fact that Riggs rhymes with Biggs and Pigs, or that Fannie is obviously just another name for butt. We both know how much butt I have, Mother. I just had to know if you and Dad gave that any thought before you named me.

Mom: No, dear, I’m sorry. We didn’t. Come by after your interview, and I’ll make you some cookies, okay?

Fannie: Chocolate chip?

Fannie snapped back to reality. She had learned to live with her name, and by the time she had gotten to college, and then law school, it hadn’t been an issue any longer, until now. Now she sat and wondered why two rotund people, who themselves had rotund parents and grandparents and brothers and sisters and a last name like Riggs, wouldn’t have given it just a little more thought before they gave her the name Fannie.

Fannie had gotten the referral for this particular job interview from one of the partners at the firm where she had done her internship. They loved Fannie, but they didn’t have the resources to take on another paid associate. One of the partners, however, a man named Luke Carter, had known that the law offices of Smyth, Banyan and Smyth were looking for an associate who could be groomed for a future, imminent partnership.

Fannie had been on top of the world. Just the opportunity alone to interview with such a prestigious firm was almost unheard of for a new graduate. She had done her research, and she had made a slightly disturbing discovery. Smyth, Banyan and Smyth had two associates. One of them was moving to take a partnership at a firm in New York, thus leaving the opening for the interview she was attending today. The other associate was a man named Mark A. Lloyd. Mark A. Lloyd was one of Chicago’s top defense attorneys. Fannie had heard the name throughout law school, but she had never had the opportunity to meet him, or so she had thought. Doing research about the firm online, Fannie had gone to the law firm’s website. Each partner had their own page, and each page contained pictures of all of them at events throughout the city. One face looked so familiar to her. It was hard to tell though, seeing him in one group picture after the other, but when Fannie clicked on the associates page, it was like she had been thrust into a time machine and spit back out on the elementary school playground in the third grade. That was when she had first met Mark A. Lloyd. Only then, Mark had called himself Allen, which was apparently his middle name. Fannie would have never thought that Allen Lloyd, king of the third grade playground, and Mark Lloyd, king of the courtroom, were one and the same.

Fannie had sat there in front of the computer screen and stared at his face. He looked exactly the same,
