A Killer Within Page #3

Because, you know, that's

a little creepy.

How was your day?

Oh, the usual,

taking care of Christopher.

How was your day?

Oh, the usual...

taking care of Addison.

Daddy's home? Where's my Tiger?

Hey, Buddy!

What are you doing?

I missed you today.

Daddy, Daddy, look what I drew.

What is that,

a picture of Mommy?

No. It's a picture of Sarah.

Why, it sure is, isn't it?

Let's put her name on there.

Can you make an "S" for me?

S-A-R...

How do I look?

Pretty damn good to me.

Go easy.

Somebody's been drinking.

You have ten minutes

to get ready.

Who's gonna baby-sit

Christopher...

not that girl with

the black fingernail polish?

- Sarah.

- OK. Sarah I can live with.

Christopher, stop drawing

on the table now.

What's going on out here?

He fell off the chair.

Can't you pick the kid up?

Addison, he needs to learn

how to sit in a chair.

You all right? Come here.

Come on. Let's go color.

All right?

I don't think we need to be

going out tonight.

- Why not?

- Because you've been...

drinking too much...

not to mention I've got to go

back to the office...

and do some work.

Christopher, go to your room,

please, sweetie.

I'm sorry.

Don't take it out on him.

Oh. You're sorry?

Well, then that makes it

all right then, doesn't it?

I better cancel

our dinner reservations.

Oh, you're so thoughtful. Gee.

And while you're at it,

why don't you call Sarah...

and tell her not to come over?

Yes. This is

Mr. Terrill calling.

We had an 8:
00 reservation

I'd like to cancel.

You know, it took me six weeks

to get those reservations.

Becky!

Oh, screw this.

I don't need this.

But you always do this.

Oh, yeah. Please don't

tell me the rest.

This is my fault, right, right?

And let me guess...

you're needed at the office...

to sort something out

all night long...

and only you can do it.

No. Sam can't do it because,

well, he's too busy...

getting his wife pregnant,

isn't he?

Sam doesn't work well

under pressure.

Or under the covers evidently.

Sam's a leech,

if you hadrt noticed.

You carried him

through law school...

you carried him as an

assistant district attorney...

and for some ungodly reason,

which only you can divine...

you carried him right

into your private practice.

Sam is important to my work.

Sam manages your office.

He buys the paper clips...

and then hires

the secretaries...

and then he tells

the secretaries...

to use the paper clips.

If he is such a hotshot,

why can't he handle this?

Because I don't like fooling

around with time programs...

and I need another attorney

to bounce ideas off of, Becky.

You don't have to give him half

of everything you make.

You don't. Why don't you...
