Despite all of Foggy’s reasonable advice, said in Matt’s best interest, Matt indulged Vanessa again that night. Fisk would be back in the early morning, so they were careful about the time. Vanessa seemed a little too cool with the idea of being interrupted and Matt put up a hard boundary on that.

He had been with men before. A couple times, mostly when he was depressed about some failed relationship with a woman. But Fisk – there was too much between them. There always would be.

Vanessa, being the decent woman that she was, respected that. So they politely separated and showered and Matt was asleep when Fisk returned, and didn’t see him at all when he left for Sunday Mass. He was tempted to go to Confession, but not about to confess any venial sins. That would take a while since he had a lot backed up in that particular area, and he didn’t care for being asked to repent for something he wasn’t sure was wrong and fully intended to do again. If Vanessa and Fisk were married, he’d have a little bit of guilt over it, but that would all be on his end, not theirs. Clearly, they knew where they both stood on the matter.

He couldn’t avoid Fisk forever. Vanessa was out for the day when Fisk called him to the dining room. There was no food present, and Matt found that a little ominous. Fisk himself was nervous. He was shifting his weight a lot, fidgeting just a bit, only enough for Matt to notice because he’s spent so much time around him recently. Fisk had something in his hands – paperwork, it smelled like – but Matt didn’t know what it was, but he was ready to bail on any more vague threats. He calculated how long it would take him to get the door.

“I have a ... proposal for you,” Fisk said. “It’s not like the other proposals.”

He handed Matt the folder, which was thick with braille paperwork on heavy cardstock. It would take him a long time to go through it.

“It’s an offer,” Fisk explained. “I know corporate law wasn’t your chosen field, but Wesley’s research did mention that you excelled at your time at Landman and Zack. This time I would prefer someone in-house. Someone I could trust.”

Matt smothered a laugh. “You trust me?”

“I know you,” Fisk said, which was about as open and honest as Fisk probably got with people he’d tried to kill. “Vanessa knows you. You’re trustworthy. And obviously this business is all ... legitimate.”

Now Matt really did laugh. “You expect me to believe that?”

“It’s true. Trust has to go both ways, Mr. Murdock.”

Fisk was telling the truth, but Matt said, “I still don’t believe you. Or is this a separate part of your business?” When Fisk hesitated, he pressed him. “Are you telling me that all of your businesses are now legitimate?”

After a moment of flustered half-speech, Fisk re-found his confidence. “You’re a lawyer, so you know that I won’t be answering that question directly. Unless you are planning to also take on the position as my personal attorney. Which I would never ask you to do.”

“It would be a conflict of interest.” To say the least.

“You’re a man of ethics. They may not always ... completely align with mine, but you can at least respect that I have my own set, too. I’m not lying about that, am I?”

“I don’t think so.” Matt had never admitted to any truth-telling abilities. Maybe the Fisks just thought he was really smart. He didn’t want to reveal anything he didn’t have to. “But we disagree in some pretty important places. And you tend to kill people you disagree with.”

“That was never proven in court.”

“Hmph.” Matt tried to hide his amusement. “That’s true. They never did find Leland Owsley’s body.”

Fisk’s heartrate spiked but he didn’t take the bait. “This offer is ... ironclad. Your position would be solid, well-paying, and never conflict with any personal interests or moral positions you may have. And it would – clear our accounts, so to speak. All of them.”

“Foggy.”

“Yes.”

“Karen.”

“Yes.”

“Anyone else I feel like adding to that list.”

Fisk nodded. “You dictate the terms.”

But what would that give Fisk license to do? Matt couldn’t think of everyone that needed protecting ahead of time. “You know what my answer’s going to be.”

“I have a guess what your answer is right now. But I want to ask you to think about it. For as long as you want. It’s a detailed contract and I would be surprised if you raced through it. And I think I am owed a certain amount consideration when making such a generous offer.”

Matt wanted to huff. He wanted to throw the envelope back in Fisk’s face. But Fisk was right in that Matt should, at the very least, give the offer the appearance of proper respect and deliberation.

And this was his ticket out.

“If you could do it – really make your business above board, on all counts,” Matt asked, “would you?”

Fisk drew back and took a deep breath. He was thinking. “I don’t know how to answer that.”

Damn Fisk and his clever ability to tell the truth. “Think about it,” Matt said, and left, but he took the folder with him.
