"A Murdered Employee"
It was a dark, hazy, rainy and windy morning in New York City, Albert Smith, one the best NYC lawyers, felt as if the weather was like where a horror story or movie would take place. Albert Smith was strolling briskly to work, for he must be there by seven AM to greet his new partner Gary Rosenberg. As partners each of them has a right to make decisions regarding the business but must consult the other before he takes action.
At about noon, the rain stopped and the clouds broke and the weather got better, but not for long. At lunch Albert invited Gary out for lunch at one of New York’s best restaurant called Blue Smoke. Over lunch Gary shared stories about his previous job and how his new job was going so far. Next, Gary says " Oh yeah, forgot to tell you I made a deal with the city, you know some guy called and asked for some law advice and then wanted to make a deal he said he was from the city of NYC, ok? NO, you were required to ask me first before you made any deals, well, its your first day so I’ll let it go." The weather got bad again as the lawyers walked out.
On Albert’s way home that night he got a phone call from the New York Police Department. That he has a fine of 30 million dollars and tomorrow as well as his law firm must pay it must be shut down immediately. Albert asked "why, this must be a mistake?" "No", said the officer "your firm made a deal with a person who is clearly an imposter of a city official." Albert was as mad as a lion that hasn’t eaten for days. Albert called Gary and said to come to his apartment immediately. His apartment is the closest building to the Hudson River.
Gary walked in and said Hi, but there was no answer from angry Albert. Albert locked the door but then opened his apartment window so the rain comes inside. Would you like anything to eat he said, oh please sit down? Gary did not reply, as he knew him long enough to realize something was wrong. "Consequently I got a call today from the city about that deal sounds good but for everything good there something bad, right" yeah, maybe guess Gary replied " yeah, do you want to know what the problem here was not big or anything just 30 million dollars and we are both out of a job What are you talking about? "Today I got a call from New York Police Department, and they said that the guy was an imposter, not a city official. Albert went to the kitchen."
He returned with a spoon, fork and steak knife wrapped in a napkin. He held the knife up and introduced it as one of the sharpest knives on the market, it can cut through anything, this knife can chew and bite you with its teeth any time he said, and then right then and there screams, yells and more screams as the knife went straight into his heart. The yells could be heard all over the building. A neighbor called 911 after he heard the screams from the apartment next door and as she was on the phone she saw a dead body fall right her window into the Hudson River, this scene terrified the socks right off his feet.
The police arrived immediately and got right out of their patrol car, they got there so fast they looked like they were greyhounds running as fast as they can, the car engine was still going VROOM, VROOM, VROOM even after they got into the building. But Albert was long gone. Albert was found dead with that same knife through his heart in the storage room of his law firm 6 months later.
