Chapter 2: The Woman With the Document Case

Charles answered the call.
I watched him through the open doorway, still on my knees on the porch, one hand pressed to my stomach.
His face changed the moment he heard the voice on the other end.
"Who is this?" he said.
Then he went very still.
Courtney stopped smiling.
"Charles?" she said.
"What's wrong?"
He didn't answer her.
He just stood there, holding the phone, staring at nothing.
I called 911.
I gave them the address.
I told them what had happened.
When I looked up again, Charles had ended the call.
He walked to the doorway and looked down at me on the porch.
Something in his expression had shifted.
The certainty was gone.
"That folder," I said quietly.
"Did you forge my signature on it?"
He said nothing.
"Because Samantha already knows you called her office yesterday.
And whatever you just heard on that phone — I think you already know what Lucas put in place."
Courtney grabbed his arm.
"Charles, we should go."
"You're not going anywhere," I said.
The siren was closer now.
And then a car turned onto the street — not a police car.
A black sedan.
A woman in a gray suit stepped out, holding a document case.
Charles took one step back when he saw her face.
"Who is that?" Courtney whispered.
He didn't answer.
But his hands had started to shake.

What was inside that document case — and why did Charles recognize her?
What Lucas prepared is bigger than anyone knew.
