“again. But I firmly believe you’ve been betrayed, and I’m willing to risk our friendship to warn you.” Steele took a deep breath and exhaled, forcing herself to think about the lunacy he’d just shared with her, rather than simply ending the call. Based on her numerous interactions with Reeves, she believed that he wouldn’t do something like this to her unless he felt sure he had enough evidence to support his allegations.

Despite the rage building inside, she had no intention of accepting his allegations without concrete proof, which he admittedly did not possess. She’d sift through the documents he’d emailed to her government account and decide how far she was willing to go along with Reeves’s plan to learn the truth.

I can’t shake something Decker said yesterday.” “Is it a game changer?” “It could be—if it’s true,” he said. “Does it cost you anything to check into what he said?” “No.” “There’s your answer,” she said. He leaned forward in the chair and kissed her hand, feeling a little better about the day ahead of him.”
