Forrest signed at the bottom of a page

"I want it to come out of' the estate," Forrest said. "You're not paying for it." "The estate can reimburse me. It'll work." Ray wasn't sure how it would work, but he'd let Harry Rex worry about that. He signed the forms as guarantor of payment. Forrest signed at the bottom of a page listing all the do's and don'ts. "You can't leave for twenty-eight days," Oscar said. "If you do, you forfeit all monies paid and you're never welcome back. Understand?" "I understand," Forrest said. How many times had he been through this? "You're here because you want to be here, right?" "Right." “And no one is forcing you?" "No one." Now that the flogging was on, it was time for Ray to leave. He thanked Oscar and hugged Forrest and sped away much faster than he'd arrived. Chapter 25 Ray was now certain that the cash had been collected since 1991, the year the Judge was voted out of office. Claudia was around until the year before, and she knew nothing of the money. It had not come from graft and it had not come gambling. Nor had it come from skillful investing on the sly, because Ray found not a single record of the Judge ever buying or selling a stock or a bond. The accountant hired by Harry Rex to reconstruct the records and put together the final tax return had found nothing either. He said that the Judge's trail was easy to follow because everything had been run through the First National Bank of Clanton. That's what you think, Ray thought to himself. There were almost forty boxes of old, useless files scattered throughout the house. The cleaning service had gathered and stacked them in the Judge's study and in the dining room. It took a few hours but he finally found what he was looking for.
