“I didn’t.”
“Who did?”
“I have no idea.”
“You came here with documents containing my copied signature.”
“I brought what Karen’s lawyer prepared.”
The room went quiet.
“Karen’s lawyer?” I asked.
Margaret pressed her lips together.
She had made a mistake.
I saw her recognize it.
Ruiz saw it too.
“What lawyer?” he asked.
Margaret looked away.
Ethan took a step toward her.
“Where is Karen?”
“Downstairs.”
“No, she isn’t,” Marshal Chen said. “We checked every public area.”
Margaret’s breathing changed.
“Then she left.”
