Director Sinclair circled around, pulled open the door, and slid into the passenger seat. "The officer on duty that night is a relative of Commissioner Yates. No matter how I pressed him, he just insisted he'd fallen asleep on shift and no one reported anything unusual to him." "And the indoor surveillance? There's a maintenance log for that day. The staff in the control room assumed it was being fixed, figured the suspects were locked in together and nothing serious could go wrong, so..." The further Sinclair explained, the more his voice trailed off, embarrassment coloring his words.
An oversight like this leading to a suspect getting gravely injured-if word reached the higher-ups, it wouldn't just be his job on the line.
Evander loosened his tie, his tone cool. "Asleep on duty, cameras down? Even if the holding cell surveillance was out, there should still be someone watching twenty-four seven, shouldn't there?" He glanced over, an icy disdain in his eyes. "Director Sinclair, with such an obvious blunder, do you really not see what's going on here?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Sinclair's temple.

"Commissioner Yates." Evander repeated the name, then asked, "Which Commissioner Yates are we talking about?" "The one from the Revenue Bureau." "Ah. That explains it." Evander's gaze drifted out the window, his tone flat. "Then start by investigating his people."

Charlotte returned to the hospital for her shift, partly so she could keep an eye on Hiram. But as soon as she arrived, she was handed a suspension notice.
The reason? Her "scandal" had brought negative attention to the hospital.
She'd hoped to work out the last month of her contract, but clearly, someone had other plans.
Packing her things into a cardboard box, she cleared out her office.
A couple of nurses caught sight of Charlotte carrying her box out the door, whispering among themselves. "Is Dr. Sterling resigning?" "No, she's been suspended. Guess her reputation was too much trouble for the hospital.” Tricia emerged from her office just as Charlotte cdown the hall, surprise flickering in her eyes.

She strolled over, her smile sharp as a blade. "There goes one of our best neurosurgeons. What a shame, Dr. Sterling." Charlotte offered a calm, almost indifferent smile. "I think it's for the best. At least now I don't have to be around certain two-faced people." Tricia's smile faltered.
Before she could retort, Charlotte brushed past her and walked away.
Outside the hospital entrance, a Rolls-Royce was parked in the most conspicuous spot.
Natalie was waiting by the car, nodding politely. "Miss Sterling."
Charlotte walked down the steps just as the rear window glided downm revealing the chiseled, shadowed faee of a man whose expression was as unreadable as ever. Even now, Charlotte couldn't quite figure him out.

"So it was you who hadsuspended?" A faint smile played at Evander's lips. "I thought you could use a real break."
When she said nothing, he added in his usual, unhurried tone, "As for your brother, I've arranged for him to be moved to a better private hospital. He'll have round-the-clock care, and your family won't have to worry about the expenses." hapter 100
