Vivian walked over to the kitchen table and sat down in her usual seat with a sigh. It was such a drag having to come over to this dump every month to talk about something that could be done in an email. But according to the judge, it needed to be face to face in order to give an actual signature in case they needed an exception to their custody schedule.
Hank sat down opposite of her and couldn't help but glance down at the table. More specifically, he looked down at the salt shaker. Nicole was crouched behind it, hiding from Vivian's line of sight. Her cell phone was out, pointed at his ex wife, ready to record anything incriminating she said. When she noticed Hank looking down at her, she gave him a quick thumbs up.
Nicole was a bit disappointed last night when she learned that it was just going to be a boring adult meeting about paperwork and schedules. But Hank managed to talk her up into thinking that she was going to be doing a dangerous mission, like a super spy. That seemed to work well enough.
"Ok, first things first" Vivian said as she slammed a pile of paperwork on the table. "Like we discussed lasts month, I need you to relinquish your rights on the 3rd weekend, since me and the kids will be Prague" Vivian said, sliding over a document. "In exchange, you can have them for the long weekend on the 2nd weekend" she said, sliding over more paperwork.
Hank quickly signed off on both of them, having already been prepared for this. But as he was signing, he noticed Vivian staring at the salt shaker, which made him instantly sweat.
"Is that my grandmother's salt shaker?" she asked, squinting down at it. Hank sighed and pinched his nose.
"No, Vivian. We've been over this like, 3 times. I bought it at a thrift store. So unless you pawned it off, it is not your grandmother's" he replied. Truth be told, it actually was her grandmother's shaker. He just refused to admit it so she couldn't have it.
As Hank looked back down at the paperwork, he noticed something.
"Hey...this says that if I get them for the long weekend, you get to have them for the 3rd AND 4th weekend?" he asked, slamming down his pen.
"Oops. Must have been a typo" she said in a mocking tone. This was it! This was the evidence he needed! Vivian deliberately trying to trick him into losing more custody.
He glanced down at Nicole for a split second, making sure she was still recording. And indeed she was...although Nicole was bored out of her mind at the same time.
Hank made it sound like she was going to be exposed to danger. But all she was doing was standing around at an inch tall, recording some lady talk about boring stuff. A thought crossed her mind to get closer to her. Maybe try and record what's written on those other documents she brought with her. It would be dangerous...but also a lot more interesting.
Although if she got caught, it would all be over. Not to mention, Hank promised they could do whatever she wanted for the rest of the weekend if she helped him out. And if she wandered off, maybe he wouldn't reward her.
How troubling...
20 minutes later, the meeting between parents was wrapping up. Hank felt confident that the judge would take his side once he viewed Nicole's video.
But what happened with Nicole?
