“Hm, you’d be doing more work in that case but if you’re okay with that, we have a deal.” You’re transferred back to the secretary and make the appointment.
------
The next week, Balter was in jail you show up bright and early at the address you’ve been given for Paul Hoodman’s office, but it’s not quite what you expected:It looks like a store in a middle of a strip mall, with bright, garish signs all over. Besides the big red “Better Call Paul”, you can’t quite make out what they’re supposed to say.
Entering through the front door, you find yourself in a small, dingy waiting room with faded wallpaper and wood paneling on all sides.
It’s filled with all sorts of folks: a harried mother trying to calm her crying baby, a large tattooed man in a black leather vest, an emaciated couple with ratty hair and bags under their eyes.
You try to ignore their stares as you make your way to the secretary, who sits in an enclosed booth with a glass window. This must be Francine. She’s a plump lady wearing bright red lipstick, loudly chewing some gum as you announce yourself.
“Mr. Black? You’re right on time,” she says, continuing to chew. “I’m afraid Mr. Hoodman is still busy with another client, but I’ll let him know you’re here. Why don’t you take a seat while you wait?”
You turn back, only to find that all the chairs are currently occupied.
“Oh, uh, I guess you can’t,” Francine says, blowing a bubble. “We don’t have any more chairs, sorry for the inconvenience.”

C. Ask the mother to give up her seat.
