“I took this from his study.”
My attention sharpened.
“What’s on it?”
“Copies of financial records. There are payments to Dr. Cole, insurance applications, and something called the Caroline File.”

I focused on the screen.
GIVE IT TO SAMUEL.
“I will.”
Suddenly, footsteps approached.
Jessica immediately hid the USB drive inside her sleeve.
Mara entered.
“Mr. Mercer is downstairs. He’s speaking to someone on the phone.”
Jessica looked frightened.
“Who?”
“I don’t know. But he mentioned a private medical transfer.”
My heart began racing.

Mara approached my bed.
“Mrs. Mercer, we need to get you out of this house.”

Jessica shook her head.
“He won’t let her leave.”
“Then we’ll make sure he doesn’t know.”
Mara examined the medical equipment.
“We can arrange an emergency transfer through the hospital, but we need an independent physician.”
