Janet's Point of View

It was already 4pm, and Dickson’s car was parked neatly outside the hospital lot. My heart warmed as I spotted him leaning casually against the driver’s side, waiting. I still couldn’t believe he had left work early just to pick me up for the event tonight.

Sliding into the passenger seat, I was greeted with his warm smile.

“How was work today?” he asked as he started the engine.

“It was good,” I said, fastening my seat belt.

He studied me for a moment, his brows

    Janet's Point of ViewI lowered the phone slowly.The call had lasted less than four minutes. Four minutes to say what needed to be said. To ask the favor I had spent two days deciding whether to ask. To hear the confirmation I had needed.I exhaled.Long. Slow. The kind of breath that carries the weight of something you have been holding without fully realizing how heavy it was."Thank you," I had said. "I owe you this."And the call had ended.I sat with the phone in my lap and stared at the wall across the room and felt something settle in my chest that had not been settled in three days.He was out.Rowan was out.I had not allowed myself to feel the full weight of what it had meant to watch him on that television screen. Handcuffed. Being walked out of his own building while cameras recorded every step. I had managed it. Compressed it into something I could function alongside. Told myself it was concern for Grandma primarily. Told myself the tight feeling in my chest every time I

    Rowan's Point of ViewI heard the door before I saw it open.Different footsteps this time. Not the flat hard-soled authority of the guard. Something more measured. More deliberate. The walk of a man who had decided exactly how he wanted to enter a room before he entered it.The door opened.He was neatly dressed in a way that felt almost aggressive in the context of where we were. Dark suit. Crisp shirt. A briefcase held at his side with the ease of someone who carried it as a tool rather than an accessory. He was somewhere in his fifties. Silver at the temples. The kind of face that gave very little away and had probably been giving very little away for decades.He looked at me across the table.Then he set the briefcase down and pulled out the chair across from mine and sat."Mr. Thayer," he said. "My name is not important right now. What is important is that I am your legal representation and I am here to get you out of this room."I looked at him."I didn't hire a lawyer," I said

    Rowan's Point of ViewThe room was cold.Not the kind of cold that comes from poor heating. The deliberate kind. The kind that is maintained carefully because discomfort is a tool and someone in this building understood how to use it.The light above the metal table was dim and yellow. The kind of light that makes everything look slightly worse than it actually is. The walls were grey. The floor was grey. The table was metal and the chair beneath me was hard in a way that stopped being merely uncomfortable after the first hour and became something closer to punishment.I sat with my arms stretched out in front of me on the table.To my left were the two men who had walked me out of my own building. They had not introduced themselves. They had not needed to. They were the kind of men whose function was self-explanatory. They sat with their hands flat on the table and their eyes forward and their faces arranged into the particular blankness of people who had been told to be present and

    Janet's Point of ViewThe hospital room had its own kind of silence.Not the comfortable kind. Not the kind that rests. The kind that presses. The kind that sits on your chest and reminds you with every passing minute that something important and fragile is happening in this room and there is nothing you can do but wait and watch and stay.I had been waiting and watching and staying for three days.The chair beside Grandma's bed had become the shape of my body. I knew every crack in the ceiling above me. I knew the particular sound the monitor made when it cycled through its readings. I knew the shift change times of every nurse on this floor.I had not slept properly. I had barely eaten. Peter had brought food at some point yesterday and I had picked at it without tasting anything and set it aside.Grandma lay in the bed to my left.She looked smaller than she had ever looked. The woman who filled rooms with her presence, who gripped lapels and swung canes and threatened to disown gr

    Edward's Point of ViewThe knock came at exactly the time I had scheduled it.I had learned over the years that punctuality was one of the first things that told you about a person. About how seriously they took what they were doing. About whether they understood that your time had value.Marcus was punctual. He always had been.He came in and closed the door behind him with the quiet efficiency of a man who had learned that certain conversations required that kind of care. He stood across from my desk. Dark suit. Straight back. The face of someone who had spent years doing difficult things and had made peace with all of them."Everything is moving as planned," he said.I looked at him."He should be behind bars within the next few days," Marcus continued. "The agents have what they need. The documentation we arranged has been placed correctly. The inquiry is accelerating."I leaned back in my chair slowly."Good," I said. "I want it fast. No delays. No procedural slowdowns." I held h

    Janet's Point of ViewGrandma's hands were shaking.Not violently. Just that small, barely visible tremor that appears when someone is trying very hard to hold themselves together and the effort is showing at the edges.She was sitting in her chair. The one she always sat in. The one with the worn armrests that she had refused to replace for years because her husband had bought it. She was sitting in it now with her hands folded in her lap and her eyes very bright and her face doing the difficult work of staying composed."It's allegations, Grandma," I said. I sat close to her. Close enough that my knee was almost touching hers. "Nothing has been proven. Nothing. These things happen with companies of that size. People make accusations. Investigations happen. It does not mean guilt."Grandma looked at me."You really believe that?" she said. Her voice was thinner than usual."I do," I said. And I meant it. Whatever Rowan was, he was not a man who cut corners with money. "I believe in h

    Janet’s Point of ViewThe drive home with Kyle was quiet — not awkward, but full of thought. The kind of silence that carried meaning. After everything he’d told me, I didn’t need words. Just knowing he was beside me was enough.By the time we pulled into the driveway, I could already see Peter and

    Janet's Point of View "Take care, sis," Peter said, leaning across the car seat as I stepped out. My youngest brother's smile was warm, his eyes crinkling at the corners just like mine do. I waved as he drove away, then turned to face the building. Westside Clinic , My new workplace now. I still
