him as he slowly sat down in the chair on the other side of the glass.  Nathaniel cringed when he saw a big, black eye and busted lip.  Slowly he watched as Tony picked up the phone, his hand shaking.  Nathaniel picked up the phone on the other end.
                  “Nathaniel... Um… Mr. Lynch, what are you doing here?” Tony asked him.  “Isn’t this, like I don’t know, a conflict of interest or something?  You’re not here to offer me another plea deal, are you?”
                  “Do you remember the day you had me sign that paperwork for the shelter along with the transfer papers?” Nathaniel asked.
                  Tony frowned.  “My lawyer has advised against talking to anyone about that without him present.”
                  “Yeah, well, I got news for you, kid, your damn lawyer has got Lynch Industries money in his fucking pocket.  I need you to trust me,” Nathaniel hissed.
                  Tony hesitated.  “I remember that day.  Why?”
                  “Who sent you the paperwork?” he asked.
                  “I wrote up the paperwork for the shelter myself,” he said and then paused.  “But… I had forgotten to email it to myself before we left for Troy.  I had called Katie to ask her to send it to me, but she had been off that day.  Adam answered the phone and said he’d take care of it for me.”
                  Nathaniel shook his head.  “Fuck.”
                  Tony stared at Nathaniel through the glass; the kid’s eyes seemed to water over.  “Do you believe me now?” he asked.
                  “I think Adam fucked you over, kid,” he said.  “Son of a bitch.  He planned all this shit out.  The missing ten thousand and thirty thousand were just a distraction.  Then he slipped that transfer approval form into your paperwork file so I’d sign it and make myself look like an incompetent jackass.”
                  “Why would Adam-”
                  “I just got demoted… fired, actually, from my own fucking company this morning,” Nathaniel gritted his teeth.  “Adam has been promoted to acting CEO by the board after they deemed me incompetent.”
                  Tony began to shake.  “You got to get me out of here.”
                  “I’m going to do what I can,” Adam said.  “I just don’t have any proof.  That bastard.  I can’t believe he’d do this.  Fucking me over was one thing, but framing you and letting you go to prison just to make me look bad is a level of crazy I didn’t know Adam was capable of.”
                  “You got to get me out of here,” Tony said again, and Nathaniel looked him in the eye.
                  Tony’s face was bruised, his lip busted.  He looked pale and skinny as though he had not been eating.  “They’re giving you hell in there, huh, kid?” Tony just nodded.  He looked terrified.  “Listen to me,” Nathaniel said firmly.  “I’m going to do everything in my power to make this right.  Adam’s not going to get away with this.  You just hang in there, all right?”
                  Tony nodded.  “I’m just glad you finally believe me.”
                  “I should have from the start,” Nathaniel said.  “And I’m sorry I didn’t.  I’m getting you out of here.  I’m going to call your sister and wire some money her way so you can get out on bail, all right?”
                  Tears started to flow out of Tony’s eyes.  “Really?”
                  “The money won’t be there until tomorrow.  I’d get you out myself, but I don’t want Adam to know I’m onto him.  And I’m getting your ass a real lawyer, too.” Nathaniel smiled at him.  “Don’t worry.  He’s not getting away with this.”
