FINAL VISION Chapter Three

In November of 1970, Harrison was a student at Harvard Law school where he met Kirk while attending a conference in Brazil hosting the fourth annual Harvard-Stanford Law school international junior faculty for bringing 11 of the world's most innovative junior legal scholars from around the world to present their work. Kirk had been one of Harrison's mentors. Harrison had been a brilliant student and Kirk was grooming him for his law firm when he graduated. An opportunity arose for Harrison to work in Afghanistan on issues of human rights, and he jumped at the chance and was soon crisscrossing the country in Black Hawk helicopters interviewing victims of torture.While in a local village he was confronted by a group of child soldiers. He Made a deal with one of the leaders of the group to let him go and hid in the bush until he was later rescued. Apparently the young leader had his eye on a girl in the village Harrison returned to the states a hero and there was a lot of press about his trip to Afghanistan which only made the firm want him to join their ranks all the more. Only Kirk knew the truth that Harrison had given up the girl for his own safety. After all Harrison had confided in Kirk, “she was just another hopeless, faceless,dark-skinned female, with no future. While he had important things to do”. Chapter 3 continues I love you, Maeve, I love you too. “Nothing will ever change that.” Harrison is in the study with his best buddies, Jason and Betty, “thank you for letting us have our wedding here “ “no problem, says Betty”we wouldn’t have it any other way.” There is a knock at the door. “May I come in? "says Mr Marshall, Maeve’s father. “he looks sternly at Harrison. Iwould like to have a private word with my new son-in-law.” Harrison blanches. “Mr. Marshall shakes his hand and says “Harrison I had hoped , as you well know, to change Maeve’s decision, but she thinks she is in love with you.” I love her too , I trust you know that!” Harrison stammers. Marshall continues, if you do anything to hurt her, I will make you pay. Iknow you have a secret and I intend to find out what you have been hiding and I am not talking about your other women!” There are no other women! Harrison backs away.”You may fool others, butI am no fool!! The door bursts open, it’s the Minister, “ready?” Harrison looks at Marshall and smiles at the Minister “ ready”. He turns and looks at Marshall and leaves with the Minister.”I’ve got to find out what He knows,thinks Harrison as sweat flushes his face.” He’s old and can’t live forever ,especially with a bad heart.
