“You’ll need copies of everything. And Allison — the notary’s office confirmed something else this morning. Somebody requested a duplicate of that exact file two days ago.”
“Who.”
“Colin.”
PART 6
Vanessa came to my house that evening, not the hospital. That told me something on its own.
I found her on my porch, standing like she still had a key. She did.
“You didn’t come to the meeting.”
“I was with my daughter.”
“It happened anyway. Colin ran the vote.”
“I know. I got the minutes an hour ago.”
Something flickered across her face and was gone.
“Why did you fill Lucy’s cup in the kitchen instead of at the table, like everyone else?”
“Because I was being a good aunt.”
“Why did you come back after the ambulance left and take the dispenser?”
Silence.
“I was cleaning up.”
“At eight o’clock at night. Before anyone else came back to clean anything.”
