A huge thank you to everyone who read the Brady-Dimera Truth. Before I chose that story I was debating with a few different ideas, including this new story so I figured why not write it as well. Again thank you.
(Horton Town Square)
Maggie and Jennifer walk into the square, they both look around at the decorations setup.
Maggie: Wow! Roger is going all out for his retirement party!
Jennifer: Tell me about it!
Maggie: He always did have an ego, especially after he became successful.
Jennifer: Thanks to Uncle Mickey taking him under his wing.
Maggie: Of course!
They both smile. Roger Clark spots them and walks over.
Roger: Maggie!
They hug.
Roger: Thank you so much for coming, it really means a lot!
Maggie: My pleasure. You remember Mickey's niece Jennifer?
Roger: How could I forget?
Jennifer: Hello Mr. Clark, congratulations.
Roger: Thank you! I owe my entire career to Mickey Horton!
Maggie: I can't believe its been so many years!
Roger: I know it! It seems like just yesterday when I walked into the office for the first time as an intern.
Maggie: I know Mickey would be so proud of the way you carried on the offices legacy.
Roger: Which is why I wanted you here tonight. I know I should have told you before now, but I have chosen my successor.
Maggie: Oh?
Roger: They will be here later. So even though this is my farewell, it will also be their introduction.
Maggie: I see.

Victor sits at the desk in his den looking over documents. There is a knock on the door.
Victor: Dammit Henderson! Didn't I ask not to be disturbed?!
The door opens and Justin walks in.
Justin: Is that how you speak to your loyal employee? It's a wonder he's stayed all these years!
Victor: Ah Justin, come in.
He shuts the door and walks in.
Victor: And you know I have all the respect in the world for Henderson, it's just been a busy day.
Justin: You don't have to explain anything to me Uncle Vic.
Victor: So what brings you by?
Justin: I know Maggie is attending Roger Clark's retirement ceremony this evening.
Victor: Yes she already left, Jennifer was kind enough to go with her.
Justin: You didn't object?
Victor: Of course not. Mickey was a very respectable attorney, Maggie should be there to represent the Horton legacy.
Justin: Well, apparently Roger's successor to the law office is going to be there.
Victor: His successor?
He takes a paper out of his pocket and hands it to him.
Justin: I received this fax before I left the office. I wasn't here in Salem when they were before, but we all know their reputation.
Victor looks at it in shock.
Victor: My god! We have to get down there!
(Horton Town Square)
Fifteen minutes later Maggie and Jennifer sit at a table near the front. Roger stands making a speech, his wife Mary standing beside him.
Roger: It's been a wonderful evening and I would like to again thank everyone for coming.
Everyone claps.
Roger: I owe my entire career to the greatest lawyer I have ever known, Mickey Horton. I started in his office over thirty years ago and was so humbled to be entrusted by the Horton family to be his successor. Tonight I am so thankful to have Mickey's wife Maggie here with us, and at this time I would like her to join Mary and I for an important announcement.
Maggie stands up and joins them, Jennifer looks on.
Roger: Although I am saying goodbye, it is time for someone new to say hello.
Victor and Justin hurry into the square.
Victor: Maggie is standing with them!
They both wave trying to get her attention.
Roger: Ladies and gentlemen, the successor to the Horton-Clark Law Office.....
Victor hurries towards the front.
Roger: Peter Blake!
Everyone stands and claps except Jennifer, a look of horror on her face. Peter walks out and shakes hands with Roger. Maggie hurries over to Jennifer, Victor makes it to the table also.
Maggie: Victor!
Victor: I tried to get here to warn you two! Justin found out about Peter!
Peter smiles and waves, his smile fades as he makes eye contact with Jennifer.
Jennifer: No! This can't be!
