"Wade Dalton was a very sharp fella, and wise too. He had experiences worth thrice as a lawyer at his age. He had seen it all, quite literally. He even survived a bullet hole on his stomach that narrowly reached his spine, which could have gotten him stuck on a wheelchair…. or a coffin."
Paul grinned. "But he survived it all. It's not surprising that so many looked up to him. One time, one of his assistants learned of the accusation of a distant relative in Los Angeles. A newbie actress was murdered in her trailer, her face peeled off. His relative was the actress' agent, the top suspect as he was caught red-handed, knife and all that."
"But he wasn't even close to this relative, mind you." Paul sighed. "The young assistant just thought it would be a fun challenge to see the Dalton magic somewhere outside New York. He said it would be too easy since NYC was Dalton's playing field, and he might not be as good anywhere else."
