Iâd given up on the coincidence versus fate argument. There were too many factors, too many things that could go one way or the other, too much that relied on whether or not someone was being honest. I had enough going on in my head, and on the list of priorities right now, that sort of philosophical shit wasnât even close to the top.
The fact that Iâd completely missed one very important avenue of research was proof of just how much all of this was affecting me. Iâd been so focused on whether or not Bradyn had known about all the connections I had to his family and his family had to my clients that I never stopped to think about the possibility of someone else being the connection.
Someone else who could actually be pulling the strings.
Min Wu, the lawyer whoâd come to me with Carmine and Kathie Douglassâs case, had been the one to set all of this in motion. I had no way of knowing what she knew or how much, if sheâd sent me down here intentionally to meet up with the Traylors. She could be the connection between New York City and Savannahâ¦
An idea popped into my head, something so crazy that it just might be possible.
Min Wu never told me the name of the law firm where she worked. I hadnât pressed the issue because it didnât matter to me where the money came from. I hadnât been hired to investigate the Douglassâs lawyers so I hadnât even looked. I hadnât even doubted that she worked for a law firm.
This was why I was currently sitting in front of my laptop with Min Wuâs name typed in the search bar, trying to get up the nerve to push âsearch.â This whole case had been the rabbit hole from hell, and my gut said taking this route would only drag me down more, but I needed to know. I was sick and tired of having shit kept from me.
I clicked and waited. Not surprisingly, several womenâs information popped up. The third one down had a picture I recognized, and the information underneath it was familiar too.
Min Wu, senior attorney at A. Check & Associates. Rochester, New York.
I slumped back in my chair.
Fuck it all.
A. Check & Associates, the Rochester branch of Check & Sons. That was a name Iâd never wanted to hear again, so of course, it made sense that itâd be the final thing linking everything together. My past coming full circle to bite me in the ass.
The world shifted.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Footsteps. Door squeaking.
Someone was here.
âNyx, the police want to talk to you.â
I forced my eyes open. Well, eye. The other one was too swollen for me to see. Two men stood at the end of my bed.
âWhereâs my mom?â The words came out funny, and I coughed. âThirsty.â A nurse walked over to me and picked up a cup with a straw. After I took a couple sips, I tried again. âWhereâs my mom?â
The nurse looked to the two cops.
