December 15.
Daisy had arranged for an out-of-court settlement with the plaintiff.
The location was in an office at the Los Angeles Courthouse.
The mediator was Mikita George, who was also a lawyer.
Many state courts have court-annexed mediation, where the mediators are mostly lawyers or retired judges. The courts encourage parties to resolve disputes through the mediation services they provide.
At 9:20 a.m., Daisy and Luke represented Danny Carter to participate in the mediation.
The two chatted with the mediator for a while, and it was apparent he had a genuine interest in Danny Carter's case.
From the conversation, Luke had the impression that he was somewhat envious of Daisy; having a client like Danny Carter was synonymous with fame and fortune.
At 9:30, Billie Worry and her lawyer, Robbin Will, arrived, followed by a young man. Although it was their first meeting, Luke had reviewed Billie Worry's information beforehand and knew the man was her boyfriend.
