David finished knotting his tie as he watched Henry on the massive TV in the living room. Naturally, Henry looked perfect, the Hollywood version of a lawyer. Henry Garrison was polished, his Ivy League roots showing in how he comported himself. That was a man who’d never once worried his brain would stop functioning. He was a walking, talking legal encyclopedia and he knew it.

Noah and Margarita looked just as cool and collected at Henry’s side. They’d left to join him twenty minutes before, wanting to present as much of a united front as they could.

“Yes, I would like to know how the hospital we placed our client in managed to allow a very sick man to get lost.” Henry turned slightly as a reporter shouted a question his way. “No, we don’t consider this an escape. First of all, our client isn’t accused of anything. There has been no arrest. Mr. Adams was being held on a 5150 psychiatric hold due to the nature of his illness and his state of mind following the death of his beloved wife. We are incredibly worried about our client and ask that anyone who sees him calls our hotline. We do not believe Mr. Adams is an imminent threat to the community, but he is very likely disoriented and could be easily upset.”

“He’s awfully good at that.” Isla stepped out of the bedroom wearing a pretty black-and-white dress that clung to her curves but managed to still be professional.

“He’s had a lot of practice with damage control,” David allowed.

“It doesn’t hurt that with him giving a statement to the press, no one will be looking for us. They likely won’t notice where we’ve come from,” she said, settling her phone in her bag. “I’m ready when you are. Are we heading to the hospital first?”

“I don’t think we have to,” he replied. “Liam said he’s on his way up and he has news.”

“News about what?”

“Not sure, but he went to the hospital this morning.” Li and Erin had been up and working while he and Isla were cuddling.

He wished they were still cuddling. There were days when he kind of wished he’d become a boring corporate attorney with a boring job where the press didn’t swarm him on a regular basis.

“I was thinking about the fact that Portia took a trip to Paris last year. Then six months ago she went to London, both trips without Trey. She called them girls’ holidays,” Isla said. “I’m wondering if that’s where she met Kristoff Paloma. Is there any way we can see if the dates line up?”

He hated the blank look on her face, hated how hard this had to be on her. “I can have Liam look into it with his Interpol ties. They’ve been tracking him. They might know where he was on certain dates.”

“I also need to talk to Cressida. I called Miranda and asked if she could bring her aunt here. Cressida traveled everywhere with Portia the last few years.
