“Connor’s lawyer,” I answered.
What kind of lawyer?
“Defense attorney. Connor’s in jail.”
Oh my God – what happened?! Was it because of us?!
“No, no,” I said, and looked at Sebastian. “Didn’t you explain in the email?”
“I didn’t know who this ‘Eve’ person was,” he snapped. “And I didn’t feel safe broadcasting any details.”
And you asked why I didn’t announce myself to YOU?
Sebastian glowered at the screen as I quickly gave Eve the rundown.
After I had explained everything, the cursor typed, I’m so sorry. What can I do?
“A lot. But what we’re asking for isn’t going to be completely… legal.”
Then you came to the right place.
“I don’t want you to get in trouble, though.”
The screen suddenly filled with Hahahaha’s that scrolled all the way down for about 20 lines. Then –
Considering what Grant was accused of, this is nothing – and I was technically his accomplice. Plus, you DO remember what you did for me and Grant, right?
“Yeah, but – ”
No ‘buts.’ It’s the least I can do. What do you need?
“First we need to find where Mr. Templeton’s phone is. Can you do that?”

If the NSA can do it – which they can – then I can do it. What’s the number?
Sebastian rattled off ten digits.
“If we can prove Mr. Templeton’s cell phone is in Miranda’s possession, we could prove she’s behind the murder!” I said.
“I wouldn’t count on it,” Sebastian said. “She’s far too smart for that.”
“Why can’t you just let me dream?” I said crabbily.
What else?
I thought for a minute. “Anything you can find on Miranda would be great. I mean, the underground stuff, not like ‘she just got married to Connor’s brother’ newspaper articles.”
Okay.
Sebastian looked at me with thinly veiled contempt. “Lily, the woman’s a multi, multi-millionaire, not to mention she just married into a billionaire family. She has unlimited resources. She has hundreds of shell corporations across the globe. She’s shown in the past that she covers her tracks incredibly well. There’s no way this Eve woman could – ”
I just found a document with all your research on Miranda,the cursor typed. It’s dated May 15th – is that the most recent update?
“What?!” Sebastian yelped.
