  When Bradley got back to his office, he called me and told me what happened at the hearing. That night on the way home I turned on the six o'clock news.

  "This is Ralph Fuentes with the Six O'clock Evening News. In the 111th District Court today the temporary restraining order issued yesterday against Dallas attorney Matt Coleman was dissolved. The effect of today’s ruling is that the ads or TV spots will be allowed to continue at least until next week's temporary injunction hearing. Banks and stocks in the financial sector were generally down today. Investors reportedly are concerned with the action taken today in the 111th District Court."

  "A three-alarm fire hit downtown Fort Worth today—"

  I shut off the radio and got on my mobile phone. I dialed a number and waited.

  "Hello."

  "Hi, honey. Have you been listening to the news?"

  "No, I've been cooking dinner."

  "You better turn on the TV. I guess Matt's got Wall Street worried."

  "What?! I can't believe this. I wish he were home. I'm so worried.”
